In recent years there has been a growing interest among cancer biologists in cancer metabolism. This Review summarizes past and recent advances in our understanding of the reprogramming of glucose metabolism in cancer cells, which is mediated by oncogenic drivers and by the undifferentiated character of cancer cells. The reprogrammed glucose metabolism in cancer cells is required to fulfil anabolic demands. This Review discusses the possibility of exploiting the reprogrammed glucose metabolism for therapeutic approaches that selectively target cancer cells.
近年来,癌症生物学家对癌症代谢的兴趣日益浓厚。本综述总结了我们在理解癌细胞中葡萄糖代谢重编程方面的过去和近期进展,这种重编程由致癌驱动因素和癌细胞的未分化特征介导。癌细胞中重编程的葡萄糖代谢是满足合成代谢需求所必需的。本综述讨论了利用重编程的葡萄糖代谢开发选择性靶向癌细胞的治疗方法的可能性。
