Abstract
p62 is an important multifunctional adaptor protein participating in autophagy and many other activities. Many studies have revealed that p62 is highly expressed in multiple cancers and decreasing its level can effectively lower the proliferation ability of cancer cells. Moreover, much research has highlighted the significant role of the regulation of cancer cell metabolism in helping to treat tumors. Recent reports demonstrate that p62 could regulate cancer cell metabolism through various mechanisms. However, the relationship between p62 and cancer cell metabolism as well as the related mechanisms has not been fully elucidated. In this review, we describe glucose, glutamine, and fatty acid metabolism in tumor cells and some signaling pathways that can regulate cancer metabolism and are mediated by p62.
