A subset of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma harbors dysregulated Fbxo4- cyclin D1 axis. Here, the authors show that the dysregulation of Fbxo4-cyclin D1 leads to mitochondrial dysfunction and glutamine addiction rendering these tumors susceptible to metabolic inhibitors even when resistant to CDK4/6 inhibitors.
