Metabolic adaptation of cancer and immune cells mediated by hypoxia-inducible factors

Samanta, Debangshu, Semenza, Gregg L.·2018·Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Reviews on Cancer

Abstract

Cancer cells are characterized by high metabolic demand. The substrates in demand include oxygen, glucose, glutamine and lipids. Oxygen serves as a key substrate in cellular metabolism and bioenergetics. Hypoxia or low oxygen abundance is a common feature of the tumor microenvironment that occurs due to an imbalance in supply and demand. Many of the metabolic responses to hypoxia in both cancer cells and stromal cells are orchestrated by hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs). In this review we summarize our current understanding of how HIFs modulate the metabolism of hypoxic cancer cells and immune cells, and how altered metabolism plays a role in cancer progression.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • HIFs play critical roles in cancer progression by activating transcription of genes encoding proteins involved in angiogenesis, glucose metabolism, invasion/metastasis, stem cell specification, protumoral inflammatory responses, and tumor immune evasion.

    “Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) play critical roles in cancer progression by activating the transcription of a large battery of genes encoding proteins that play key roles in angiogenesis, glucose metabolism, invasion/metastasis, stem cell specification, protumoral inflammatory responses, and tumor immune evasion (18, 23–27).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
