Discussion on pathogenesis and intervention strategies of tumor metabolic reprogramming from the "spleen⁃metabolism" correlation in traditional Chinese medicine
Metabolic reprogramming is one of the key biological characteristics of malignant tumors, playing a crucial role throughout the course of cancer. It is closely associated with the development, progression, and prognosis of the disease. Based on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) visceral manifestation theory of the spleen,this paper elaborates on the correlation between spleen qi dispersing essence and the metabolism of matter and energy from the perspectives of mitochondria, gut microbiota and other factors, explores the pathological connection between "spleen's failure to disperse essence" and tumor metabolic reprogramming, proposing that "spleen's failure to disperse essence" is the core pathogenesis of tumor metabolic reprogramming. By analyzing the pathological process underlying the "spleen's failure to disperse essence", this paper further deconstructs how the pathological transformation from "spleen qi dispersing essence" to "spleen's failure to disperse essence" is triggered by spleen deficiency and dysfunction, spleen's inability to raise clear fluids, and cancerous turbidity stagnating the spleen. This pathological transformation mediates and accelerates the tumor metabolic reprogramming. Based on the intervention strategy of "assisting the spleen to disperse essence", methods such as tonifying qi, regulating qi, and resolving turbidity should be applied to achieve the effects of nourishing the middle, strengthening the spleen, harmonizing the middle and promoting spleen function, and clearing the middle and reviving the spleen. When the spleen qi is abundant, water and grains can be transported and transformed; with healthy function of transportation and proper transformation, the subtle essence can be distributed and dispersed. The clearing of pathogenic turbidity prevents the formation of cancer, thereby helping to restore the normal processes of spleen qi dispersing essence. This paper offers a new approach for TCM to reshape tumor metabolic reprogramming.
