Hypoxia signalling controls metabolic demand

Abstract

It has been known for quite some time that cancer cells undergo far-reaching modifications in their metabolism, yet a full understanding of these changes and how they come about remains elusive. Even under conditions of plentiful oxygen, cancer cells choose to switch glucose metabolism from respiration to lactic acid formation. The mystery behind the molecular mechanisms of this phenomenon, known as the Warburg effect, is now being unravelled. The reduced respiration rate and increased glucose uptake associated with lactic acid production, and acidosis of the micro-environment, are primarily due to activation of the alpha/beta hypoxia-inducible transcription factor. This distinctive metabolic nature of cancer cells is already being exploited as a diagnostic tool but is yet to be harnessed as a therapeutic intervention.

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.
