Metabolic networks support cancer cell survival, proliferation, and malignant progression. Cancer cells take up large amounts of nutrients such as glucose and glutamine whose metabolism provides the energy, reducing equivalents, and biosynthetic precursors required to meet the biosynthetic demands of proliferation. Intermediates of glycolysis and the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle provide critical building blocks for synthesis of non-essential amino acids, nucleotides, and fatty acids.
