Metabolic abnormalities is a hallmark of cancer. About 100 years ago, Nobel laureate Otto Heinrich Warburg first described high rate of glycolysis in cancer cells. Recently more and more novel opinions about cancer metabolism supplement to this hypothesis, consist of glucose uptake, lactic acid generation and secretion, acidification of the microenvironment and cancer immune evasion. Here we briefly review metabolic pathways generating lactate, and discuss the function of higher lactic acid in cancer microenvironments.
代谢异常是癌症的一个标志。大约100年前,诺贝尔奖获得者奥托·海因里希·瓦尔堡首次描述了癌细胞中糖酵解速率很高的现象。最近,关于癌症代谢的越来越多新观点补充了这一假说,包括葡萄糖摄取、乳酸生成与分泌、微环境酸化以及癌症免疫逃逸。在此,我们简要回顾产生乳酸的代谢途径,并讨论较高水平的乳酸在癌症微环境中的作用。
