Tumor suppressors and cell metabolism: a recipe for cancer growth
Open accessAbstract
Growing tumors face two major metabolic challenges—how to meet the bioenergetic and biosynthetic demands of increased cell proliferation, and how to survive environmental fluctuations in external nutrient and oxygen availability when tumor growth outpaces the delivery capabilities of the existing vasculature. Cancer cells display dramatically altered metabolic circuitry that appears to directly result from the oncogenic mutations selected during the tumorigenic process. An emerging theme in cancer biology is that many of the genes that can initiate tumorigenesis are intricately linked to metabolic regulation. In turn, it appears that a number of well-established tumor suppressors play critical roles in suppressing growth and/or proliferation when intracellular supplies of essential metabolites become reduced. In this review, we consider the potential role of tumor suppressors as metabolic regulators.
Overview

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
This review argues that oncogenic and tumor suppressor networks reprogram cancer cell metabolism to support growth and proliferation while also enabling adaptation to metabolic stress. It focuses on glycolysis, mitochondrial biosynthesis, AMPK, p53, HIF1, and autophagy as interconnected metabolic regulators in tumorigenesis.
Key findings
- Proliferating cancer cells shift to aerobic glycolysis; >90% of pyruvate from glucose is converted to lactate by LDH-A, while the remaining ~10% enters mitochondria for biosynthetic pathways.
- Tumor suppressors including p53, LKB1, TSC2, PTEN, VHL, SDH, FH, and Beclin-1 act as metabolic brakes or adaptation regulators, whereas oncogenes such as PI3K/Akt, c-Myc, and HIF1 promote nutrient uptake, glycolysis, biosynthesis, and survival.
- AMPK is activated by energetic stress via LKB1 and can phosphorylate p53 at Ser-15, inducing a metabolic cell cycle checkpoint; in the absence of p53, metformin treatment delays tumor progression in cited work.
- Autophagy is a conserved metabolic stress response and tumor suppressor mechanism; Beclin-1 haploinsufficiency promotes tumorigenesis in mouse models and is associated with breast and ovarian cancers in humans, and ~30% of cancers cannot be detected by FDG-PET.
Methods
- Narrative review with no primary experimental data; it synthesizes literature on tumor suppressors and cell metabolism.
- No sample, dataset, or statistical analysis is reported; the article cites 116 references.
- Main analysis is a conceptual synthesis of oncogene/tumor suppressor signaling, metabolic pathways, and therapeutic implications.
Limitations
- The paper states that it remains debated whether metabolic changes are a consequence or cause of tumorigenesis; the exact contribution of AMPK to tumor progression is unclear; the stimuli and target genes for p53-dependent metabolic responses remain to be determined; and the role of p53 in autophagy remains controversial.
- Evident: as a narrative review, it does not systematically search or quantitatively synthesize evidence, and many mechanistic claims rely on cited studies rather than new data.
- Evident: tumor heterogeneity and context dependence may limit generalizability; the paper notes that individual tumor cells could display distinct metabolic signatures and that ~30% of cancers are FDG-PET negative.

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.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-10, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-10 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
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.
