Abstract
The metabolism is reprogrammed in cancer cells to meet the requirement of their malignant properties. Some specific metabolites can contribute to the malignant transformation in different cancer types. This study aimed to determine the level of glucose, pyruvate, lactate, citrate, alpha-ketoglutarate (α-KG), 2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG), succinate, fumarate, malate, and oxaloacetate in the different tissues (tumor, colon, brain, and liver) of xenograft models generated by a colon adenocarcinoma cell line (SW480). Glucose and pyruvate levels were determined by the 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid (DNS) method and pyruvate assay, respectively. The level of other metabolites was determined by the HPLC analysis. The results show that D-2-HG is highly produced in the tumor tissues (120.2 mg/L), but it could not be detected in liver tissue. In conclusion, TCA and Cori cycles and Glycolysis were investigated in the different tissues of colon cancer xenograft models and found that some metabolites produced tissue-specific.
