Such a redox environment may provide a basis for ROS-dependent signaling pathways to subsequently drive progressive phenotypes such as proliferation, survival, and angiogenesis ( Figure 2 Within the tumor microenvironment, hormonal signaling serves as a critical upstream trigger that drives HGSOC progression through ROS-dependent pathways
M1-dominant macrophages overproduce TNF- and IL-6, directly blocking insulin receptor signalling in metabolically active tissues [4]
With regard to glutamine metabolism, inhibition of glutamine utilization has likewise been incorporated into the clinical development strategy of metabolic targeting plus immunotherapy. Animal studies have shown that JHU083, a prodrug of the glutamine antagonist 6-diazo-5-oxo-L-norleucine (DON), not only suppresses tumor growth, but also reshapes the transcriptional profile and antigen-presentation/inflammatory cytokine characteristics of tumor-associated macrophages, shifting them from an immunosuppressive tendency toward a functional state more favorable for antitumor immunity (118)
