The critical function of metabolic reprogramming in cancer metastasis

Abstract Cancer metastasis is the leading cause of cancer‐related death. It is a complex, inefficient, and multistep process related to poor prognosis and high mortality of patients. Increasing evidence has shown that metabolic programming is a recognized hallmarker of cancer, plays a critical role...

description Abstract Cancer metastasis is the leading cause of cancer‐related death. It is a complex, inefficient, and multistep process related to poor prognosis and high mortality of patients. Increasing evidence has shown that metabolic programming is a recognized hallmarker of cancer, plays a critical role in cancer metastasis. Metabolism alterations of glucose, lipid, and amino acid provide cancer cells with energy and substances for biosynthesis, maintain biofunctions and significantly affect proliferation, invasion, and metastasis of cancer cells. Tumor microenvironment (TME) is a complex system formed by varieties of cellular and noncellular elements. Nontumor cells in TME also undergo metabolic reprogramming or respond to metabolites to promote migration and invasion of cancer cells. A comprehensive understanding of the regulatory mechanism in metastasis from the metabolic reprogramming aspect is required to develop new therapeutic strategies combatting cancer metastasis. This review illustrates the metabolic reprogramming and interaction of cancer cells and nontumor cells in the TME, and the development of treatment strategies targeting metabolism alterations.
