Evaluation of Metabolic Characteristics of Cancer Cells
摘要
Cancer cells undergo a complex rearrangement of metabolic pathways that allows them to satisfy the needs of increased proliferation. Since many cancers are characterized by a high glycolytic rate regardless of oxygen availability, targeting glycolysis, electron transport chain (ETC), and oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) have emerged as a potential therapeutic strategy. In this chapter, we describe a protocol that utilizes the Agilent Seahorse XFp Analyzer to assess mitochondrial respiration and glycolysis in ovarian cancer cells.
