摘要

By the mid-twentieth century, cancer cells were known to show characteristic alterations in their metabolic activity. These early studies resulted in the hypothesis that irreversible inac-tivation of respiration is causally involved in the development of tumours. Later, increased rates of glutaminolysis and lipid synthesis were found in tumour tissue, and the close association between cancer-cell metabolism and hypoxia was established (reviewed in ref. 2). Over the past decade, a more complex picture of cancer-cell metabolism has emerged. Many cancers show increased glucose uptake and enhanced glycolytic rates, suggesting that metabolic alteration provides a growth advantage for tumour cells. Some of these changes are similar to the metabolic response of non-transformed cells to growth-promoting signals, so it is not entirely clear whether these metabolic alterations are specific to cancer or just reflect the increased proliferation of tumour cells. However, different oncogenic signalling pathways target distinct components of the metabolic network. Moreover, tumours with the same genetic lesions have different metabolic profiles depending on the tissue they arise in, suggesting that the tissue environment strongly affects the metabolic activity of cancer cells. Altered metabolic activity is crucial for supporting uncontrolled proliferation, evasion of growth-inhibitory signals, cell migration and the dissemination of metastatic cells into distant tissues. However, metabolic reprogramming also renders cancer cells more susceptible to perturbations within the metabolic network. Identifying these metabolic dependencies could open a window of opportunity for therapeutic intervention.
