Abstract
Cancer cells hijack metabolic pathways in order to provide themselves with building blocks to support their proliferation and survival. Upregulation and addiction to de novo serine/glycine synthesis is an example of metabolic rewiring in cancer cells whereby serine and glycine are synthesised via a side branch of glycolysis. In this review, we focus on upregulation of endogenous serine/glycine production in acute leukemia, namely T-cell acute leukemia (T-ALL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Several genetic lesions directly driving the serine/glycine addiction in acute leukemia have been established. Additionally, indirect regulation of de novo serine/glycine synthesis is observed in acute leukemia.
