Abstract
The success of disseminating cancer cells (DTCs) at specific metastatic sites is influenced by several metabolic factors. Even before DTCs arrival, metabolic conditioning from the primary tumor participates in creating a favorable premetastatic niche at distant organs. In addition, DTCs adjust their metabolism to better survive along the metastatic journey and successfully colonize their ultimate destination. However, the idea that the environment of the target organs may metabolically impact the metastatic fate is often underestimated. Here, we review the coexistence of two distinct strategies by which cancer cells shape and/or adapt to the metabolic profile of colonized tissues, ultimately creating a proper soil for their seeding and proliferation.
期刊介绍:
Trends in Endocrinology and Metabolism (TEM) stands as a premier Reviews journal in the realms of metabolism and endocrinology. Our commitment is reflected in the publication of refined, concise, and highly impactful articles that delve into cutting-edge topics, encompassing basic, translational, and clinical aspects. From state-of-the-art treatments for endocrine diseases to groundbreaking developments in molecular biology, TEM provides comprehensive coverage.
Explore recent advancements in diabetes, endocrine diseases, obesity, neuroendocrinology, immunometabolism, molecular and cellular biology, and a myriad of other areas through our journal.
TEM serves as an invaluable resource for researchers, clinicians, lecturers, teachers, and students. Each monthly issue is anchored by Reviews and Opinion articles, with Reviews meticulously chronicling recent and significant developments, often contributed by leading researchers in specific fields. Opinion articles foster debate and hypotheses. Our shorter pieces include Science & Society, shedding light on issues at the intersection of science, society, and policy; Spotlights, which focus on exciting recent developments in the literature, and single-point hypotheses as Forum articles. We wholeheartedly welcome and encourage responses to previously published TEM content in the form of Letters.
