“Friends or foes”: a new perspective of tumour metabolic transcriptional modification

Abstract

Energy metabolism plays a pivotal role in cancer clinical treatment and has become an important means of clinical diagnosis of tumour progression. However, current research mostly focuses on changes in metabolic products and neglects the deeper mechanisms of transcriptional regulation. This paper proposes a new perspective, establishing a comprehensive network that reveals the interaction between metabolism and transcription, which explores how tumour metabolism affects tumour progression through transcriptional modifications, and provides a novel approach for optimizing tumour treatment strategies. This viewpoint is conducive to overcoming current bottlenecks in treatment and promoting the development of drug combinations and personalized medicine.
