Abstract EN
The self-renewal and differentiation potentials of stem cells are dependent on amino acid (AA) metabolism.
We review the literature on the metabolic preference of both cancer and noncancer stem cells.
The balance in AA metabolism is responsible for maintaining the functionality of noncancer stem cells, and altering the levels of AAs can influence the malignant biological behavior of cancer stem cells.
AAs are considered nutrients participating in metabolism and playing a critical role in maintaining the activity of normal stem cells and the effect of therapy of cancer stem cells.
Targeting AA metabolism helps inhibit the stemness of cancer stem cells and remodels the function of normal stem cells.
This review summarizes the metabolic characteristics and regulation pathways of AA in different stem cells, not only from the nutritional perspective but also from the genomic perspective that have been reported in the recent five years.
In addition, we briefly survey new therapeutic modalities that may help eradicate cancer stem cells by exploiting nutrient deprivation.
Understanding AA uptake characteristics helps researchers define the preference for AA in different stem cells and enables clinicians make timely interventions to specifically target the cell behavior.
