Abstract

Different oncogenic mutations lead to different metabolic phenotypes in renal cell carcinomas (RCC).Loss of the von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) tumor suppressor gene results in metabolic alterations including aerobic glycolysis in RCC.Fumarate hydratase mutations result in an increase in aerobic glycolysis in RCC.Different oncogenic mutations lead to different metabolic phenotypes in primary liver cancer.MYC and MET mutations regulate glucose and glutamine differently in primary liver cancer.Glucose metabolism increased by acetylated phosphoglycerate kinase 1 (PGK1) leads to the promotion of cancer cell proliferation and tumorigenesis in the liver.
