The molecular determinants of de novo nucleotide biosynthesis in cancer cells
Open accessAbstract
Tumor cells increase the use of anabolic pathways to satisfy the metabolic requirements associated with a high growth rate. Transformed cells take up and metabolize nutrients such as glucose and glutamine at high levels that support anabolic growth. Oncogenic signaling through the PI3K/Akt and Myc pathways directly control glucose and glutamine uptake, respectively. In order to achieve elevated rates of nucleotide biosynthesis, neoplastic cells must divert carbon from PI3K/Akt-induced glycolytic flux into the nonoxidative branch of the pentose phosphate pathway to generate ribose-5-phosphate. This redirection of glucose catabolism appears to be regulated by cytoplasmic tyrosine kinases. Myc-induced glutamine metabolism also increases the abundance and activity of different rate-limiting enzymes that produce the molecular precursors required for de novo nucleotide synthesis. In this review, we will focus on recent progress in understanding how glucose and glutamine metabolism is redirected by oncogenes in order to support de novo nucleotide biosynthesis during proliferation and how metabolic reprogramming can be potentially exploited in the development of new cancer therapies.

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.
