Abstract

Since the 1956 hypothesis of Otto Warburg, aerobic glycolysis has been recognized as a metabolic hallmark of cancer. Because methylglyoxal (MG) is a naturally occurring waste metabolite of glycolysis, we measured blood levels of this molecule in colon cancer‑bearing rats. To compare the blood levels of free MG in cancerous and healthy animals,the present study used a dedicated tumor graft model consisting of the subcutaneous administration in syngenic BD‑IX rats of a tumorigenic cell clone (PROb) and another non‑tumorigenic clone (REGb) derived from the same tumor. Rats grafted with the PROb growing tumor cell clone exhibited a statistically significant increase in free MG blood levels (P=0.003), whereas rats transplanted with the REGb non‑growing tumor cell clone exhibited normal MG values. The present study (first of three parts) suggests that cancer cells can produce and release free MG at higher levels than normal cells, making MG a putative novel metabolic biomarker of cancer.
