This phenotype is described as ˇ°methionine dependenceˇ± or ˇ°methionine stress sensitivityˇ± in which cancer cells are unable to proliferate when methionine has been replaced with its metabolic precursor, homocysteine, in cell culture growth media. We focus on the metabolic response to methionine stress in the triple negative breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-468 and its methionine insensitive derivative cell line MDA-MB-468res-R8 %K Cancer metabolism %K S-adenosylmethionine %K SAM %K Methionine %K Homocysteine %K Methionine stress %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4852440/
