Signaling pathways and key factors involved in hypoxic induced Warburg effect. GLUT: glucose transporter; G6P: glucose-6-phosphate; HK: hexokinase; F6P: fructose-6-phosphate; PFK: phosphofructokinase; G3P: glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate; 3PG: 3-phosphoglycerate; PEP: phosphoenolpyruvate; PK: pyruvate kinase; PKM2: pyruvate kinase isoform M2; LDHA: lactate dehydrogenase; HIF: hypoxia-inducible factor; AMPK: adenosine 5′-monophosphate- (AMP-) activated protein kinase; PI3K: phosphoinositide-3-kinase; mTOR: mammalian target of rapamycin; HRE: hypoxia response element; VHL: Von Hippel-Lindau; TIGAR: TP53-induced glycolysis and apoptosis regulator.
