Abstract

Tumor-induced immune tolerance permits growth and spread of malignant cells. Cancer cells have strong influence on surrounding cells and shape the hypoxic tumor microenvironment (TME) facilitating cancer progression. A dynamic change in glucose metabolism occurring in cancer cells and its influence on the TME are still poorly understood. Indeed, cancer and/or immune cells undergo rapid adaptation in metabolic pathways during cancer progression. Metabolic reprograming affects macrophages, T cells, and myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) among other immune cells. Their role in the TME depends on a nature and concentration of factors, such as cytokines, reactive oxygen species (ROS), growth factors, and most importantly, diffusible metabolites (i.e., lactate). Further, the amounts of available nutrients and oxygen as well as activity of microbiota may influence metabolic pathways in the TME. The roles of metabolites in regulating of the interaction between immune and cancer cell are highlighted in this review. Targeting metabolic reprogramming or signaling pathways controlling cell metabolism in the TME might be a potential strategy for anti-cancer therapy alone or in combination with current immunotherapies.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 30 August 2018.
All research outputs
#14,920,631
of 25,385,509 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in oncology
#4,143
of 22,432 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#174,955
of 341,279 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in oncology
#59
of 169 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,385,509 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 40th percentile – i.e., 40% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 22,432 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.0. This one has done well, scoring higher than 80% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 341,279 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 47th percentile – i.e., 47% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 169 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 61% of its contemporaries.
