Abstract

AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and its upstream kinase, LKB1, act to both monitor and restore cellular energy in response to energy depletion. Studied extensively in liver and skeletal muscle, AMPK is phosphorylated and activated by LKB1 in response to increasing AMP/ATP ratios, which occur in a variety of settings including hypoxia, nutrient starvation and redox imbalance. Interest in the roles of both AMPK and LKB1 in cancer has grown substantially, following the identification of LKB1 as the tumor suppressor gene mutated in the Peutz-Jegher familial cancer syndrome. Patients with the Peutz-Jegher syndrome harbor a single inactive LKB1 gene, and acquisition of a second inactivating lesion (loss of heterozygosity) leads to the development of the cancer in a variety of organs. Thus, the loss of AMPK activation is hypothesized to promote the development of malignancy. Conversely, pharmacological AMPK activation has recently been shown to be cytotoxic to many established human cancer cell lines in vitro and in human cancer xenograft and mouse cancer allografts. Previously, changes in cell metabolism that accompanied the malignant phenotype have largely been considered a consequence of cellular transformation. Now, AMPK and e...Continue Reading

Cancer Metabolism

In order for cancer cells to maintain rapid, uncontrolled cell proliferation, they must acquire a source of energy. Cancer cells acquire metabolic energy from their surrounding environment and utilize the host cell nutrients to do so. Here is the latest research on cancer metabolism.
