Abstract

Many tumors display a high rate of glucose utilization, as evidenced by 18-F-2-deoxyglucose PET imaging. One potential advantage of catabolizing glucose through glycolysis at a rate that exceeds bioenergetic need is that the growing cell can redirect the excess glycolytic end product pyruvate toward lipid synthesis. Such de novo lipid synthesis is necessary for membrane production and lipid-based posttranslational modification of proteins. A key enzyme linking glucose metabolism to lipid synthesis is ATP citrate lyase (ACL), which catalyzes the conversion of citrate to cytosolic acetyl-CoA. ACL inhibition by RNAi or the chemical inhibitor SB-204990 limits in vitro proliferation and survival of tumor cells displaying aerobic glycolysis. The same treatments also reduce in vivo tumor growth and induce differentiation.

  • Targeting ACLY genetically or chemically prevents xenograft tumor formation and proliferation.

    “ACLY activity is elevated in cancers (Migita et al., 2008), and targeting ACLY genetically or chemically prevents xenograft tumor formation and proliferation (Adam et al., 2013; Bauer et al., 2005; Hatzivassiliou et al., 2005; Migita et al., 2008).”

  • Mitochondrial citrate controls anabolic reactions by directly acting as the carbon source for fatty acids, cholesterol and ketone bodies through ATP citrate lyase, and by allosteric modulation.

    “Mitochondrial citrate controls anabolic reactions by directly acting as the carbon source for FAs, cholesterol and ketone bodies through ATP citrate lyase (ACLY),78 and by allosteric modulation.”
  • In this model, mitochondrial citrate is formed from oxaloacetate and acetyl-CoA, exported to cytosol, and converted back to acetyl-CoA by ATP citrate lyase (ACL).

    “In this model, mitochondrial citrate is formed from condensation of oxaloacetate and acetyl-CoA, after which citrate is exported from the mitochondrion to the cytosol and converted back to acetyl-CoA by ATP citrate lyase (ACL) (47).”

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.
