Foreword
Dear colleagues,It is my great pleasure to warmly welcome you to the first conference
entitled “Towards co-operation and integrated research” organized by the Serbian Biochemical Society.
The first Biochemical Society in the world was established in the UK in 1911. The Biochemistry Section of the Serbian Chemical Society was established in 1967. The Biochemical Society of the Socialist Republic of Serbia was active from 1976 to 1991. In 1997 the Yugoslav Biochemical Society was registered (Niketic 2010). Today’s Serbian Biochemical Society was recently registered on the 5th of July 2011. Prof. Israel Pecht, the FEBS president, announced in a letter dated the 25th of August 2011 that the FEBS Council had accepted that the Serbian Biochemical Society should replace the Yugoslav Biochemical Society thereby becoming a full FEBS member.
The Serbian Biochemical Society clearly has deep roots, but this is officially its first conference. Its aim is to stimulate collaborative research work for many years to come. This year, 2011, coincides with the centennial anniversary of the UK Biochemical Society. Therefore, we have invited one lecturer from the UK and eight from Serbia to present their research interests. Their presentations are published in the conference proceedings. This first conference serves as an initiative to organize future annual scientific conferences in Serbia in order to present high quality work in fast moving research fields and to improve scientific interactions in the field of biochemistry and other disciplines of life sciences. I express my gratitude to the members of the governing board of the Serbian Biochemical Society who suggested the lecturers and to all of them who accepted their invitation.

Abstract
Cancer is a complex disease. It requires multiple components in multiple regulatory systems to fail before the disease manifests. Cancer heterogeneity is clearly apparent as over 200 types of cancers have been documented. In the UK approximately 25% of people die from cancer. Cancers of the lung, colorectum, breast and prostate account for 47% of cancer deaths. 76% of cancer deaths occur in people aged 65 years old. Six common traits “hallmarks” of cancer have been identified: (1) cancer cells stimulate their own growth; (2) they resist inhibitory signals that might otherwise stop their growth; (3) they resist their own programmed cell death (apoptosis); (4) they stimulate the growth of blood vessels to supply nutrients to tumors (angiogenesis); (5) they can multiply forever; and (6) they invade local tissue and spread to distant sites (metastasis). In short, the hallmarks are distinctive and complementary capabilities that enable tumour growth and metastatic dissemination. These have provided us with a solid foundation for our current understanding of the biology of cancer. Recent advances in technology over the last two decades have identified four more hallmarks: (7) abnormal metabolic pathways; (8) evading the immune system; (9) chromosome abnormalities and unstable DNA; and (10) inflammation. Unfortunately, due to time constraints the focus of my lecture will only consider one of these hallmarks; how cancer cells have re-programmed their metabolic pathways.
Alterations in cell metabolism associated with cancer may be selected by cancer cells to meet the distinct metabolic needs of high cell proliferation rates. Unlike metabolism in differentiated cells, which is geared to efficient ATP generation, the metabolism in cancer cells must be adapted to facillitate the accumulation of biomass. Cancer cells divert a larger fraction of their nutrient metabolism to pathways other than mitochondrial respiration regardless of oxygen availability. The reprogramming of metabolic pathways in cancer cells is under the control of both oncogenes and tumor suppressors, many of which are downstream of signal transduction pathways involving phosphoinositide metabolism. In order to integrate a vast array of incoming signalling information into downstream cellular responses, a number of effector proteins rely on a master switch; the evolutionary conserved target of rapamycin (TOR) which is present in all eukaryotes. The mammlian TOR (mTOR) is a serine/threonine protein kinase which has been the focus of a multitude of research studies. Understanding more about phosphoinositide metabolism, mTOR regulation and cancer cell metabolomics together with help from metabolic imaging technology and computation of metabolic networks will enable us to design new therapeutic approaches to target cancer-specific metabolic pathways.
