Core Tip This study demonstrates that hypoxia activates oxidized ataxia telangiectasia mutated kinase, which plays a pivotal role in enhancing the stemness of triple-negative breast cancer stem cells. Through c-Myc-mediated transcriptional regulation, hypoxia promotes one-carbon metabolism and significantly upregulates key metabolic enzymes, including methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase 2 and serine hydroxymethyltransferase 2. These metabolic adaptations support redox balance and self-renewal capacity, highlighting a potential therapeutic axis targeting oxidized ataxia telangiectasia mutated-driven metabolic reprogramming in triple-negative breast cancer.
