Signaling of oncometabolites in macrophages. Cancer cells secrete various oncometabolites, of which lactate, succinate and kynurenine are shown here. These oncometabolites signal through receptors or get internalized by transporters on the membrane of macrophages. This inhibits inflammatory functions and induces expression of genes related to an anti-inflammatory phenotype.
