This work focusses on the interaction of altered glucose metabolism and DNA damage response in myeloma cells. Glucose transporters, glycolytic enzymes (e.g. hexokinase) and metabolic pathways have been shown to be upregulated in myeloma and other cancer cells. Here we investigated the effects of inhibitors of topoisomerases, of DDR and of PI3K/Akt/mTOR on glucose metabolism and on cell survival in myeloma cells. Elevated glucose consumption in myeloma cells can be reversed by targeting both DDR and PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling, thus reinforcing apoptotic process.
