Summary

Metabolic reprogramming is crucial in cancer, altering pathways for growth, adaptation, and immune evasion. It impacts tumor differentiation, biological functions, and leads to cell heterogeneity through epigenetic changes. Shifts like the Warburg effect and adaptations to hypoxia support tumor survival and metastasis, while metabolic changes help evade immune responses. This reprogramming also drives tumor progression, resistance to therapy, and heterogeneity, highlighting the need for targeted therapies.

 

Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

 

1. Mechanisms of Metabolic Reprogramming: Unveiling molecular drivers and pathways in tumor development.

2. Therapeutic Targets: Novel strategies targeting cancer's metabolic vulnerabilities.

3. Metabolic Biomarkers: Identifying biomarkers for diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment response.

4. scRNA-seq in Cancer Metabolism: Exploring tumor metabolic heterogeneity and its implications.

5. Tumor Microenvironment: The role of metabolic reprogramming in tumor-environment interactions.

6. Omics Integration: Combining metabolomics with other omics for holistic cancer metabolism insights.

    Abstract Carcinogenesis is a multilevel process characterized by genetic and epigenetic alterations, thus contributing to uncontrolled proliferation that eventually leads to cancer. The process of carcinogenesis involves an intricate dis-orchestration in the expression of both, coding and non-coding sequences and is also dependent on the reprogramming of energy metabolism as both direct and indirect consequence of oncogenic mutations. Dysregulated mitochondrial energetics is an important hallmark of cancer, where cancer cells switch to the glycolytic pathway as an alternate source of energy to support the continuous energy supply needed for their indefinite growth. Even though functional mitochondria… More >
