Stress granules (SGs) are membraneless cytoplasmic compartments that form in response to stress stimuli. In these compartments, most translation factors stall, except for activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4), which is preferentially translated ensure cell survival under stressful conditions. Cancer cells encounter various conditions the tumor microenvironment during tumorigenesis; however, how they exploit pro-survival effects of ATF4 SGs remains unclear. G3BP1/2 central nodes SG network, regulating dynamics. this study, we designed two small molecules, #129 and PROTAC (Proteolysis Targeting Chimera) degrader 129 (PT-129), specifically target NTF2L domain G3BP1/2, a crucial hub protein RNA interactions. These compounds inhibit formation stressed disassemble pre-existing granules. Furthermore, pharmacological inhibition by PT-129 suppressed fibroblast-mediated cancer growth vitro reduced vivo. Mechanistically, facilitates delivery from fibroblasts via migracytosis, primary mediator fibroblast-associated growth. PT-129-mediated disassembly disrupts delivery, thereby preventing proliferation. compounds, therefore, represent powerful tools gaining molecular insights into hold promise therapeutic interventions modulating granule
