TLDR
How the mitochondria has a key role in regulating the interplay between redox homeostasis and metabolism within tumor cells is described, and the potential therapeutic use of agents that directly or indirectly block metabolism is discussed.Abstract:
Tumor cells harbor genetic alterations that promote a continuous and elevated production of reactive oxygen species. Whereas such oxidative stress conditions would be harmful to normal cells, they facilitate tumor growth in multiple ways by causing DNA damage and genomic instability, and ultimately, by reprogramming cancer cell metabolism. This review outlines the metabolic-dependent mechanisms that tumors engage in when faced with oxidative stress conditions that are critical for cancer progression by producing redox cofactors. In particular, we describe how the mitochondria has a key role in regulating the interplay between redox homeostasis and metabolism within tumor cells. Last, we will discuss the potential therapeutic use of agents that directly or indirectly block metabolism.read more

The insulin and insulin-like growth factor receptor family in neoplasia: an update
TL;DR: Clinical studies may benefit from the use of predictive biomarkers to identify probable responders, theUse of rational combination therapies and the consideration of alternative targeting strategies, such as ligand-specific antibodies and receptor-specific tyrosine kinase inhibitors.

AMPK regulates NADPH homeostasis to promote tumour cell survival during energy stress
TL;DR: It is shown that AMPK activation, during energy stress, prolongs cell survival by redox regulation and has a key function in NADPH maintenance, which is critical for cancer cell survival under energy stress conditions, such as glucose limitations, anchorage-independent growth and solid tumour formation in vivo.

TL;DR: The metabolic responses of a MYC-inducible human Burkitt lymphoma model P493 cell line to aerobic and hypoxic conditions, and to glucose deprivation, are determined using stable isotope-resolved metabolomics to demonstrate an alternative energy-generating glutaminolysis pathway involving a glucose-independent TCA cycle.
