Abstract:
Dysregulation of cell metabolism, especially glucose metabolism, is implicated in tumorigenesis and tumor progression.Cancer cells uptake a large amount of glucose and prefer to perform glycolysis in the cytosol even under normal oxygen condition, which fuels fast cell growth and proliferation.Dysregulation of glucose metabolism leads to tumorigenesis and promotes cancer development.Conversely, the initiation and development of cancer reprograms glucose metabolism to confer cancer cells the ability to survive and proliferate.Oncogenes, tumor suppressors or non-coding RNAs could regulate glucose metabolism.Meanwhile, the enzymes and metabolites involved in glucose metabolism could regulate the expression of factors related to cancer.Enzymes, the direct executor of cell metabolism, play a key role in dysregulation of glucose metabolism, tumorigenesis and tumor development.
