Metabolic reprogramming is increasingly known as a hallmark of numerous cancer types, essential for sustaining rapid cell proliferation and the ensuing high demand for energy and biosynthetic precursors necessary for tumour development
The blunted inhibition of hexokinase by glucose-6-phosphate is important not only for allowing high rates of upstream glycolysis and ensuring avid glucose uptake from the extracellular space, but also because glucose-6-phosphate may originate from galactose (through glucose-1-phosphate), glycogen (through glycophagy and/or glycogenolysis), and ribose (through the pentose phosphate pathway forming fructose-6-phosphate), (Fig
In vivo , findings demonstrate that the overexpression of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) restricts ATP production in CD8+ cells, whilst in vitro studies indicate this effect is mediated by reduced activity of electron transport chain complex I, which accounts for the decreased ATP production observed in infiltrating T cells (Liu et al., 2009)
