G6PD: A hub for metabolic reprogramming and redox signaling in cancer

Hung-Chi Yang et al.

Summary: Metabolic hubs are crucial in cancer initiation and development. G6PD, a pivotal factor, affects cell proliferation and survival through altering redox homeostasis. The aberrant activation of G6PD via metabolic reprogramming can lead to either oxidative damage or oncogenic signaling in cancer cells.

Global cancer statistics 2020: GLOBOCAN estimates of incidence and mortality worldwide for 36 cancers in 185 countries

Hyuna Sung et al.

Summary: The global cancer burden in 2020 saw an estimated 19.3 million new cancer cases and almost 10.0 million cancer deaths. Female breast cancer surpassed lung cancer as the most commonly diagnosed cancer, while lung cancer remained the leading cause of cancer death. These trends are expected to rise in 2040, with transitioning countries experiencing a larger increase compared to transitioned countries due to demographic changes and risk factors associated with globalization and a growing economy. Efforts to improve cancer prevention measures and provision of cancer care in transitioning countries will be crucial for global cancer control.

CENPA promotes clear cell renal cell carcinoma progression and metastasis via Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway

Qi Wang et al.

Summary: This research identified that several CENP family members, especially CENPA, are highly expressed in ccRCC tissues and can serve as biomarkers for the disease. Overexpression of CENPA was found to promote ccRCC proliferation and metastasis by accelerating the cell cycle and activating the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway. Targeting CENPA with selective drugs may be a promising direction for cancer treatment.

The role of glycometabolic plasticity in cancer

Yuyang Peng et al.

Summary: Glycometabolic plasticity, characterized by the ability of cancer cells to modulate glycometabolism in response to different stimuli, plays a key role in cancer progression, metastasis, and treatment resistance. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of glycometabolic plasticity in cancer is crucial for cancer research and treatment.

Metabolic flexibility determines human NK cell functional fate in the tumor microenvironment

Sophie M. Poznanski et al.

Summary: NK cells play a central role in anti-tumor immunity, but their dysfunction in the tumor microenvironment is a major barrier for cancer immunotherapies. Research showed that human NK cell dysfunction in the tumor microenvironment is caused by suppression of glucose metabolism, and activating the antioxidant pathway can restore NK cell function and enhance anti-tumor activity. Additionally, expanded NK cells with metabolic flexibility not only sustained metabolic fitness but also improved tumor killing in response to nutrient deprivation, showing the potential for exploiting metabolic flexibility in cancer immunotherapy.

Bruceine A induces cell growth inhibition and apoptosis through PFKFB4/GSK3β signaling in pancreatic cancer

Pengfei Zhang et al.

Summary: Bruceine A exhibits strong anti-tumor activity against human pancreatic cancer cells in vitro and in vivo by targeting PFKFB4 and its downstream target GSK3 beta to inhibit glycolysis, thereby inducing cell growth inhibition and apoptosis. This suggests that bruceine A may serve as a potent agent for treating human pancreatic cancer.

The significance of Stanniocalcin 2 in malignancies and mechanisms

Shasha Li et al.

Summary: STC2, a human ortholog of fish stanniocalcins, is widely expressed in various organs and tissues, with implications in glucose homeostasis, phosphorus metabolism, and various malignancies such as breast cancer, gastrointestinal tumors, and respiratory cancers. Notably, as a secreted phosphoprotein, STC2 shows promising predictive value in multiple malignancies. This review aims to enhance understanding of the role of STC2 in patient diagnosis, prognosis, tumor development, and mechanisms involved.

Metabolic barriers to cancer immunotherapy

Kristin DePeaux et al.

Summary: The tumour microenvironment creates barriers that suppress immune responses, including physical barriers, recruitment of suppressive immune cells, and upregulation of inhibitory ligands on tumour cells. Therapies targeting metabolic restrictions in the tumour microenvironment show promise for combination therapies against various types of cancer.
