Metabolic rewiring of cancer cells can be driven by both extrinsic and intrinsic factors. Here the authors show that microenvironmental factors induce metabolic rewiring of B-cell lymphoma through activation of STAT3 and NF-ΚB resulting in upregulation of the aminotransferase GOT2 and glutamine addiction.
