Metabolik yeniden programlama, kanserin bir belirteci olup, kanserojenez ve kanser gelişiminin ilk aşamalarında önemli bir rol oynar. Bu fenomen, özellikle tümör büyümesi ve yayılması için gerekli enerji ve yapı taşlarını sağlayan şekerlerin kullanımında olmak üzere, hücresel metabolizmadaki değişiklikleri içerir. Bu inceleme, erken kanserle ilişkili metabolik yeniden programlamaya ve bunun şeker metabolizması üzerindeki etkisine odaklanmaktadır. Kanser hücreleri, Adenozin Trifosfat üretimi ve biyokütle sentezini hızlandıran, genellikle Warburg etkisi olarak bilinen, artmış glukoz alımı ve kullanımını sergiler. Ayrıca, kanser hücreleri artan glikoliz akışı gösterir, glukoz metabolitlerini hücre büyümesini destekleyen anabolik yollara yönlendirir. Onkogenik sinyal yolları, anahtar düzenleyicilerin aktivasyonu ve p53 geni gibi tümör baskılayıcı genlerdeki değişiklikler dahil olmak üzere, şeker metabolizmasındaki bu değişiklikleri yönlendirir. Kanser hücrelerinde şeker metabolizmasının yenilenmesi, tümörün hayatta kalmasını ve ilerlemesini kolaylaştırarak seçici bir avantaj sağlar. Ayrıca, erken evre kanserdeki metabolik değişiklikler, biyosentez, redoks dengesi ve post-translasyonel modifikasyonlar için ara maddelerin oluşumunu teşvik ederek tümör oluşumuna daha fazla katkıda bulunur. Erken kanserde metabolik yeniden programlamanın karmaşıklıklarını anlamak, metabolik zayıflıkları hedefleyen başarılı tedavi yöntemleri geliştirmek için esastır. Kanser hücrelerinin değişmiş şeker metabolizmasına olan bağımlılığını bozmayı amaçlayan terapötik müdahaleler, tümör büyümesini durdurma ve hasta sonuçlarını iyileştirme konusunda büyük bir umut taşımaktadır.

Metabolic Reprogramming in Early Cancer: Altered Sugar and its Role in Tumorigenesis

Öz

Metabolic reprogramming is a hallmark of cancer, playing an essential role in carcinogenesis and the initial steps of cancer development. This phenomenon involves alterations in cellular metabolism, particularly in using sugars, which provide the essential energy and building blocks for tumour growth and propagation. This review focuses on the metabolic reprogramming associated with early cancer and its impact on sugar metabolism. Cancer cells exhibit enhanced glucose uptake and utilisation, commonly known as the Warburg effect, which allows for rapid Adenosine Triphosphate production and biomass synthesis. Additionally, cancer cells demonstrate increased glycolytic flux, diverting glucose metabolites towards anabolic pathways that support cell growth. Oncogenic signalling pathways, including activation of key regulators and alterations in tumour suppressor genes such as the p53 gene, drive these alterations in sugar metabolism. Renewing sugar metabolism in cancer cells provides a selective advantage, facilitating tumour survival and progression. Moreover, metabolic alterations in early cancer promote the generation of intermediates for biosynthesis, redox balance, and post-translational modifications, further contributing to tumorigenesis. Comprehending the complexities of metabolic reprogramming in early cancer is essential for formulating successful treatment methods that target metabolic vulnerabilities. Therapeutic interventions aimed at disrupting cancer cells' addiction to altered sugar metabolism hold great promise in halting tumour growth and improving patient outcomes.
