Article Synopsis
  • - The Warburg effect describes how cancer cells favor aerobic glycolysis, producing more lactate even with oxygen available, which leads to an acidic tumor environment that promotes cancer traits like drug resistance and immune evasion.
  • - Proton-sensing G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), such as GPR68, can detect this acidity and activate cancer-promoting signaling pathways, suggesting a link between the acidic environment and tumor growth mechanisms.
  • - Understanding how these proton-sensing receptors relate to the Warburg effect could open up new avenues for cancer treatment by targeting the metabolic changes that favor tumor development.

Cancer research is linked to modern life-sciences, encompassing achievements in virology, yeast-biology, molecular-biology, genetics, systems-biology, bioinformatics, and so on. With these fascinating developments, it's easy to overlook that the fundamental theories and treatment strategies were established in the early 20th century and have remained valid ever since. Therefore, tribute must be paid to the founders of the field.

If you are a scientist and you only know one thing about tumor metabolism, it's likely the Warburg effect. But who was Otto Warburg, and how did his discoveries regarding the metabolism of tumors shape our current thinking about the metabolic needs of cancer cells?

The Warburg effect, which was first described a century ago, asserts that mitotic tumor cells generate higher quantities of lactate. Intriguingly, even in typical physiological circumstances, postmitotic retinal photoreceptor cells also produce elevated levels of lactate. Initially classified as metabolic waste, lactate has since gained recognition as a significant intracellular signaling mediator and extracellular ligand.

Despite many efforts, a comprehensive understanding and clarification of the intricate connections within cancer cell metabolism remain elusive. This might pertain to intracellular dynamics and the complex interplay between cancer cells, and cells with the tumor stroma. Almost a century ago, Otto Warburg found that cancer cells exhibit a glycolytic phenotype, which continues to be a subject of thorough investigation.
