Metabolic flux and the regulation of mammalian cell growth

Open access
Locasale, Jason W., Cantley, Lewis C.·2011·Cell Metabolism

Abstract

The study of normal mammalian cell growth and the defects that contribute to disease pathogenesis links metabolism to cell growth. Here, we visit several aspects of growth-promoting metabolism, emphasizing recent advances in our understanding of how alterations in glucose metabolism affect cytosolic and mitochondrial redox potential and ATP generation. These alterations drive cell proliferation not only through supporting biosynthesis, energy metabolism, and maintaining redox potential but also through initiating signaling mechanisms that are still poorly characterized. The evolutionary basis of these additional layers of growth control is also discussed.

  • Aerobic glycolysis is a prominent feature of cancer cell metabolism, and its main role is thought to be support of biosynthetic pathways required for cellular proliferation.

    “AG is a prominent feature of cancer cell metabolism; its main role is thought to be support of biosynthetic pathways required for cellular proliferation”

    From Aerobic glycolysis in the human brain is associated with development and neotenous gene expression (2014) · cites this paper as Locasale and Cantley, 2011

    The Warburg Effect and cell growth section describes aerobic glycolysis as a common feature of tumor cells and identifies support of biosynthesis as one of its functions. It also says those functions are multiple and debated, including redox balance, energy balance, and signaling; it does not identify biosynthesis as the main role.

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.
