Abstract
Dysregulation of cancer cell bioenergetics is one of the hallmarks of cancer. The Warburg effect is one such documented change. However, glucose metabolism is not universally increased in cancer cells. Uptake of 18F-FDG in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) fails as a marker of proliferation and whilst the underlying reason is poorly understood it suggests that CLL cells utilize energy sources other than glucose to proliferate. Using genetic, proteomic and lipidomic analyses, complemented with microscopy and nutrient uptake assays the preferred metabolic pathways of CLL cells have been identified.
