“…Strategies that increase supply include metabolic adaptation to use alternative fuels, including glucose, glutamine, alanine, pyruvate, lactate, and lipids (Allen et al, 2016;Jimenez-Valerio and Casanovas, 2016;Nieman et al, 2011;Pavlova and Thompson, 2016;Pisarsky et al, 2016); increased macropinocytosis to take up and degrade proteins and lipids from their environment, including extracellular matrix and necrotic cell debris (Commisso et al, 2013;Davidson et al, 2016;Kamphorst et al, 2015;Kim et al, 2018;Muranen et al, 2017;Palm et al, 2015); secretion of ''feed me'' signals that trigger the release of nutrients, including amino and fatty acids, from other cells in the vicinity, a process termed metabolic symbiosis (Martinez-Outschoorn et al, 2014;Mikkilineni et al, 2017;Nakajima and Van Houten, 2013;Sonveaux et al, 2008;Sousa et al, 2016); and enhancing autophagy, a lysosome-dependent process by which nonessential intracellular components are recycled (Rzymski et al, 2009), which is a key survival strategy in several cancers (Goulielmaki et al, 2016;Guo et al, 2011;Perera et al, 2015;White, 2013;Yang et al, 2011). Tumor cells may also ensure a longerterm increase in nutrient supply by stimulating neoangiogenesis through the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) that promotes formation of new blood vessels (Simons et al, 2016).…”
