Glioblastoma (GBM) is an aggressive brain tumor characterized by extensive metabolic reprogramming that drives growth and therapeutic resistance. Key pathways, including glycolysis, lactate production, lipid metabolism, are upregulated to sustain survival in the hypoxic nutrient-deprived microenvironment (TME), while glutamine tryptophan metabolism further contribute phenotype of GBM. These alterations impair immune cell function, leading exhaustion stress CD8+ CD4+ T cells favoring immunosuppressive populations such as regulatory (Tregs) M2-like macrophages. Recent studies emphasize role slow-cycling GBM (SCCs), lipid-laden macrophages, tumor-associated astrocytes (TAAs) reshaping GBM’s landscape reinforcing evasion. Genetic mutations, Isocitrate Dehydrogenase (IDH) Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) amplification, Phosphotase Tensin Homolog (PTEN) loss, drive offer potential targets for therapy. Understanding relationship between suppression critical overcoming This review focuses on rewiring GBM, its impact microenvironment, combining targeting with immunotherapy improve clinical outcomes patients.

Drug resistance remains a significant barrier to effective cancer therapy. Cancer cells evade treatment by reprogramming their metabolism, switching from glycolysis oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), and relying on alternative carbon sources such as glutamine. These adaptations not only enable tumor survival but also contribute immune evasion through mechanisms reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation the upregulation of checkpoint molecules like PD-L1. This review explores potential targeting metabolic weaknesses in drug-resistant cancers enhance therapeutic efficacy. Key pathways involved resistance, including glycolysis, glutamine kynurenine pathway, are discussed. The combination inhibitors with (ICIs), particularly anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapies, represents promising approach overcoming both mechanisms. Clinical trials combining therapies have shown early promise, further research is needed optimize combinations identify biomarkers for patient selection. In conclusion, metabolism blockade offers novel drug providing pathway improved outcomes Future directions include personalized treatments based profiles expanding other types.

Ovarian cancer (OC) is one of the three most common malignant tumors female reproductive system, with highest mortality rate among gynecologic malignancies. Like other tumors, OC cells undergo metabolic reprogramming phenomenon and convert glucose metabolism into "aerobic glycolysis" generate a high concentration lactate, i.e., "Warburg effect", which provides large amount energy corresponding intermediary metabolites for their survival, reproduction metastasis. Numerous studies have shown that targeted inhibition aerobic glycolysis lactate promising strategy to enhance sensitivity immunotherapy. Therefore, this review summarizes features in highlights how abnormal affects differentiation, metabolism, function infiltrating immune cells, contributes immunosuppression, may be potential therapeutic efficacy OC.

Lactic acid, a key metabolic byproduct within the tumor microenvironment, has garnered significant attention for its role in immune evasion mechanisms. Tumor cells produce and release large amounts of lactic acid into microenvironment through aberrant glycolysis via Warburg effect, leading to drop pH. Elevated levels profoundly suppress proliferation capacity, cytotoxic functions, migratory abilities effector such as macrophages natural killer at site. Moreover, can modulate expression surface molecules on cells, interfering with their recognition attack it regulates signaling pathways that promote expansion enhanced function immunosuppressive like regulatory T thereby fostering tolerance microenvironment. Current research is actively exploring strategies targeting metabolism ameliorate evasion. Key approaches under investigation include inhibiting activity critical enzymes production reduce synthesis or blocking lactate transporters alter intracellular extracellular distribution. These methods hold promise when combined existing immunotherapies checkpoint inhibitors chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapies enhance system's ability eliminate cells. This could pave way novel combinatorial treatment clinical cancer therapy, effectively overcoming phenomena, ultimately improving overall efficacy.
