Abstract:
The relationship between metabolism and cancer is a major focus of current research, with an increasing number of studies highlighting the significant role of various metabolites in tumor cells, such as lactate, acetic acid, lysine, serine, tryptophan, palmitic acid, succinate, etc. These metabolites are involved in numerous biological processes within tumor cells, including transcription, translation, post-translational modification (PTM) of proteins, cell cycle regulation, and metabolism, thereby modulating tumor proliferation, migration, and drug resistance. Metabolite-mediated PTMs of proteins undoubtedly play a vital role in tumor cells, affecting both histones and non-histone proteins, covering modifications such as lactylation, crotonylation, acetylation, palmitoylation, and succinylation. Therefore, this review aims to elaborate on the abnormal levels of some major metabolites, related metabolic pathways, and the latest protein acyl PTMs they mediate in tumor cells, providing new insights for diagnosis and therapy in the field of oncology.
