Targeting glucose metabolism to suppress cancer progression: prospective of anti-glycolytic cancer therapy

Abdel-Wahab, Ali F., Mahmoud, Waheed, Al-Harizy, Randa M.·2019·Pharmacological Research

Abstract

Most solid tumor cells adapt to their heterogeneous microenvironment by depending largely on aerobic glycolysis for energy production, a phenomenon called the Warburg effect, which is a hallmark of cancer. The altered energy metabolism not only provides cancer cell with ATP for cellular energy, but also generate essential metabolic intermediates that play a pivotal role in the biosynthesis of macromolecules, to support cell proliferation, invasiveness, and chemoresistance. The cellular metabolic reprogramming in cancer is regulated by several oncogenic proteins and tumor suppressors such as hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF-1), Myc, p53, and PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway. A better understanding of the mechanisms involved in the regulation of aerobic glycolysis can help in developing glycolytic inhibitors as anticancer agents. These metabolic antiglycolytic agents could be more effective if used in drug combinations to combat cancer. Several preclinical and early clinical studies have shown the effectiveness of targeting the glycolytic pathway as a therapeutic approach to suppress cancer progression. This review aimed to present the most recent data on the emerging drug candidate targeting enzymes and intermediates involved in glucose metabolism to provide therapeutic opportunities and challenges for antiglycolytic cancer therapy.

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.
