The Implications of PDK1–4 on Tumor Energy Metabolism, Aggressiveness and Therapy Resistance

A metabolic shift from oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) to glycolysis—known as the Warburg effect—is characteristic for many cancers. It gives the cancer cells a survival advantage in the hypoxic tumor microenvironment and protects them from cytotoxic effects of oxidative damage and apoptosis. The...
