Abstract
Cancer cell proliferation and progression require sufficient supplies of nutrients including carbon sources, nitrogen sources, and molecular oxygen. Particularly, carbon sources and molecular oxygen are critical for the generation of ATP and building blocks, and for the maintenance of intracellular redox status. However, solid tumors frequently outgrow the blood supply, resulting in nutrient insufficiency. Accordingly, cancer cell metabolism shows aberrant biochemical features that are consequences of oncogenic signaling and adaptation. Those adaptive metabolism features, including the Warburg effect and addiction to glutamine, may form the biochemical basis for resistance to chemotherapy and radiation. A better understanding of the regulatory mechanisms that link the signaling pathways to adaptive metabolic reprogramming may identify novel biomarkers for drug development. In this review, we focus on the regulation of carbon source utilization at a cellular level, emphasizing its relevance to proliferative biosynthesis in cancer cells. We summarize the essential needs of proliferating cells and the metabolic features of glucose, lipids, and glutamine, and we review the roles of transcription regulators (i.e., HIF-1, c-Myc, and ...Continue Reading
