How does nutrient deficiency in the #tumor #microenvironment lead to metabolic reprogramming? This study reveals a mechanism for glioblastoma survival via switching from #glycolysis to #FattyAcid oxidation in mice, with implications for cancer medicine @PLOSBiology https://plos.io/3P6pSg4
USP7 facilitates brain tumor survival upon glucose deprivation by regulating phosphofructokinase muscle-type nuclear translocation in mice

We discover a novel function of PFKM in promoting glioma cell survival under glucose deficiency by switching metabolism from glycolysis to FAO. Upon GD, the levels of F-2,6-BP are decreased, leading to the enhanced interaction between USP7 and PFKM. USP7 then deubiquitinates PFKM K615 and promotes its nuclear translocation. Nuclear PFKM enhances c-Myc-dependent expression of CPT1B and the activity of FAO, and promotes tumor cell survival under GD.

MICU2 up-regulation enhances tumor aggressiveness and metabolic reprogramming during colorectal cancer development

Upregulation of the mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU) has been shown to facilitate colorectal cancer cell growth, but the contributions of MCU-regulatory proteins are not known. These authors show that MICU2 ensures metabolic flexibility between anaerobic glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation and regulates cancer cell proliferation.
