Metabolic Enzymes as Oncogenes or Tumor Suppressors

Open access
Thompson, Craig B.·2009·New England Journal of Medicine

Abstract

Whether mutations in metabolic pathways contribute to the pathogenesis of cancer is controversial.1,2 Cancer cells have long been noted to preferentially metabolize glucose through glycolysis, a discovery that has been translated to the clinic through positron-emission-tomography imaging of 18F-deoxyglucose uptake in tumors. Moreover, recent studies have uncovered recurrent somatic mutations in four genes involved in the metabolism of mitochondrial citrate that either cause or predispose cells to become malignant.In this issue of the Journal, Yan and colleagues3 report that 70% or more of low-grade gliomas bear mutations in one of two NADP+-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase enzymes (IDH1 and . . .

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.
