Abstract
Viruses are fundamental tools in cancer research. They were used to discover the first oncogenes in the 1970s, and they are now being modified for use as antitumor therapeutics. Key to both of these oncogenic and oncolytic properties is the ability of viruses to rewire host cell metabolism. In this review, we describe how viral oncogenes alter metabolism to increase the synthesis of macromolecules necessary for both viral replication and tumor growth. We then describe how understanding the specific metabolic requirements of virus-infected cells can help guide strategies to improve the efficacy of oncolytic viruses, and highlight immunometabolism and tumor microenvironment research that could also increase the therapeutic benefits of oncolytic viruses. We also describe how studies describing the therapeutic effects of dietary nutrient restriction in cancer can suggest new avenues for research into antiviral therapeutics. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Cancer Biology, Volume 6 is April 2022. Please see http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates for revised estimates.
期刊介绍:
The Annual Review of Cancer Biology offers comprehensive reviews on various topics within cancer research, covering pivotal and emerging areas in the field. As our understanding of cancer's fundamental mechanisms deepens and more findings transition into targeted clinical treatments, the journal is structured around three main themes: Cancer Cell Biology, Tumorigenesis and Cancer Progression, and Translational Cancer Science. The current volume of this journal has transitioned from gated to open access through Annual Reviews' Subscribe to Open program, ensuring all articles are published under a CC BY license.
