Fundamentals of cancer metabolism

TLDR
A conceptual framework to understand how and why metabolic reprogramming occurs in tumor cells, and the mechanisms linking altered metabolism to tumorigenesis and metastasis will progressively support the development of new strategies to treat human cancer.
Abstract
Tumors reprogram pathways of nutrient acquisition and metabolism to meet the bioenergetic, biosynthetic, and redox demands of malignant cells. These reprogrammed activities are now recognized as hallmarks of cancer, and recent work has uncovered remarkable flexibility in the specific pathways activated by tumor cells to support these key functions. In this perspective, we provide a conceptual framework to understand how and why metabolic reprogramming occurs in tumor cells, and the mechanisms linking altered metabolism to tumorigenesis and metastasis. Understanding these concepts will progressively support the development of new strategies to treat human cancer.

Deubiquitinase PSMD14 promotes ovarian cancer progression by decreasing enzymatic activity of PKM2.

TL;DR: In this article, the function and mechanism of deubiquitinating enzyme 26S proteasome non-ATPase regulatory subunit 14 (PSMD14) in the progression of ovarian cancer (OV), the deadliest gynecological cancer, still remains to be characterized.

The Metabolic Inhibitor CPI-613 Negates Treatment Enrichment of Ovarian Cancer Stem Cells.

TL;DR: The results suggest that CPI-613 preferentially targets ovarian CSCs and could be a candidate to augment current treatment strategies to extend either progression-free or overall survival of OvCa.

How mitochondria produce reactive oxygen species.

TL;DR: The description outlined here facilitates the understanding of factors that favour mitochondrial ROS production and develops better methods to measure mitochondrial O2•− and H2O2 formation in vivo, as uncertainty about these values hampers studies on the role of mitochondrial ROS in pathological oxidative damage and redox signalling.

mTOR Signaling in Growth Control and Disease

TL;DR: The mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway senses and integrates a variety of environmental cues to regulate organismal growth and homeostasis as mentioned in this paper, and is implicated in an increasing number of pathological conditions, including cancer, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and neurodegeneration.
