Amino acid metabolism in cancer metastasis. Metabolic rewiring: Illustrates the critical role of amino acid metabolism reprogramming in supporting tumor growth, immune evasion, and metastatic spread. Arginine metabolism: Highlights the influence of VIPR1 activation and FOXO3a-regulated metabolic plasticity on HCC and ESCC progression, with a focus on ASS1 and ASL enzymes. Glutamine and Serine metabolism: Shows the impact of GOT2 downregulation and ZEB1-mediated SSP reprogramming on HCC, and the role of ANGPTL4 in NSCLC metastasis. Asparagine metabolism: Depicts the effects of targeting glutamine metabolism in PDAC and the significance of ASNS in various cancers, emphasizing its role in tumor cell proliferation and metastasis.
