Abstract

Altered energy metabolism is a biochemical fingerprint of cancer cells, widely recognized as one of the "hallmarks of cancer". Cancer cells show highly increased rates of glucose uptake and glycolysis, after which the resulting pyruvate is converted to lactate. The maintenance of this metabolic asset is warranted by lactate dehydrogenase A (LDH-A) and for this reason the development of novel LDH-targeted anticancer therapeutics is underway. However, possible interference in cancer cell metabolism could also arise from cAMP signaling pathway, which could be activated by either oncogenic induction or exogenously, as a result of microenvironment-derived stimuli, increasing cellular cAMP levels. This study aimed at evaluating the impact of activated cAMP signaling pathway on the efficacy of an LDH-targeted anticancer approach.
