The MYC proto-oncogene is frequently deregulated in human cancers, activating
genetic programs that orchestrate biological processes to promote growth and
proliferation. Altered metabolism characterized by heightened nutrients uptake,
enhanced glycolysis and glutaminolysis and elevated fatty acid and nucleotide
synthesis is the hallmark of MYC-driven cancer. Recent evidence strongly suggests
that Myc-dependent metabolic reprogramming is critical for tumorigenesis, which
could be attenuated by targeting specific metabolic pathways using small
drug-like molecules. Understanding the complexity of MYC-mediated metabolic
re-wiring in cancers as well as how MYC cooperates with other metabolic drivers
such as mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) will provide translational
opportunities for cancer therapy.
