Keywords: Cervical cancer; immunometabolism; HPV; tumor microenvironment; glycolysis; lactate; immune evasion; T cells; macrophages; metabolic reprogramming; immunotherapy
Cervical cancer is a biologically complex malignancy in which persistent high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infection interacts with host-cell signaling, metabolic reprogramming, and immune-system dysfunction. Increasing evidence indicates that tumor metabolism is not restricted to meeting the energy and biosynthetic requirements of malignant cells; it also influences the composition and activity of the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME). HPV-associated oncogenic signaling can promote aerobic glycolysis, alter mitochondrial function, increase lactate production, and modify amino-acid and lipid metabolism. These changes contribute to nutrient competition, extracellular acidosis, hypoxia-associated signaling, and the suppression of antitumor immune responses. In parallel, tumor-associated macrophages, regulatory T cells, myeloid-derived suppressor cells, and dysfunctional dendritic cells can reinforce an immunosuppressive metabolic environment. This reciprocal relationship between metabolism and immunity is increasingly described as immunometabolism.
This review discusses the metabolic adaptations associated with cervical carcinogenesis, the mechanisms through which HPV-associated tumors interfere with immune-cell metabolism, and the contribution of glycolysis, glutamine utilization, lipid metabolism, tryptophan catabolism, hypoxia, and mitochondrial dysfunction to immune escape. It also examines emerging therapeutic opportunities, including metabolic inhibitors, immune-checkpoint blockade, microbiome-directed interventions, and nanotechnology-assisted drug delivery. Although several mechanisms are supported by cervical cancer studies, other therapeutic concepts are extrapolated from broader cancer immunometabolism research and require direct validation in cervical cancer models. Integrating metabolic profiling with immune characterization may therefore provide a framework for identifying biomarkers and developing more effective combination therapies.
Cervical cancer remains an important global health challenge, particularly in regions where access to HPV vaccination, screening, and timely treatment is limited. Persistent infection with high-risk HPV genotypes, especially HPV16 and HPV18, is the principal etiological factor associated with cervical carcinogenesis. The viral oncoproteins E6 and E7 interfere with important host regulatory pathways, including p53- and retinoblastoma protein-mediated tumor suppression, thereby promoting cellular proliferation, genomic instability, and malignant transformation [1–3].
In addition to genetic and epigenetic alterations, cervical cancer development involves substantial metabolic changes. Malignant cells frequently increase glucose uptake and glycolytic activity, modify mitochondrial energy production, and alter amino-acid and lipid utilization. These adaptations support rapid proliferation and survival under conditions of oxygen and nutrient limitation [4–6]. Importantly, the metabolic consequences extend beyond tumor cells because metabolites released or consumed by malignant tissues influence neighboring immune cells, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and other components of the tumor microenvironment [7,8].
The concept of immunometabolism describes the relationship between cellular metabolic pathways and immune-cell differentiation, activation, survival, and function. Activated effector T cells, regulatory T cells, macrophages, and dendritic cells have distinct metabolic requirements. Consequently, changes in glucose availability, lactate concentration, amino-acid metabolism, lipid composition, and oxygen tension can determine whether immune cells maintain antitumor activity or develop suppressive phenotypes [9–11].
In cervical cancer, HPV-associated metabolic reprogramming may contribute to immune evasion through several interconnected mechanisms. Increased glycolysis can deplete extracellular glucose and generate lactate, while hypoxia can activate hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF-1α) and promote immunosuppressive signaling. Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1)-mediated tryptophan degradation, altered fatty-acid metabolism, and mitochondrial dysfunction may further impair immune-cell activity [12–15].
Understanding these interactions is important because immunotherapy responses are heterogeneous. Immune-checkpoint inhibitors have demonstrated clinical activity in selected cervical cancer populations, but not all patients respond. Metabolic barriers within the tumor microenvironment may contribute to this variability and provide additional therapeutic targets [16,17].
2.1 Role of high-risk HPV infection
High-risk HPV infection establishes a persistent oncogenic environment in cervical epithelial cells. E6 promotes p53 degradation through the ubiquitin-proteasome system, whereas E7 disrupts retinoblastoma protein-mediated cell-cycle regulation. These events facilitate uncontrolled proliferation and create conditions that favor the accumulation of additional molecular abnormalities [1,2].
HPV oncoproteins also influence cellular metabolism. E6-associated p53 inactivation can affect glycolytic regulation, mitochondrial function, and oxidative stress responses. E7-mediated disruption of cell-cycle control can increase the demand for nucleotides, amino acids, and energy required for cellular growth [3,18]. Experimental studies have linked HPV-associated signaling with increased expression of glucose transporters and glycolytic enzymes, although the precise contribution of individual viral proteins varies across experimental systems [19,20].
2.2 Metabolic adaptation during cervical carcinogenesis
Metabolic reprogramming is an important feature of malignant transformation. Cervical cancer cells can increase glucose uptake, enhance glycolysis, modify oxidative phosphorylation, and alter lipid and glutamine metabolism. These changes provide ATP, reducing equivalents, and metabolic intermediates for biosynthesis [4,5,21].
The metabolic profile is also influenced by tumor stage, HPV genotype, oxygen availability, treatment exposure, and the composition of the surrounding tissue. Therefore, cervical cancer should not be considered metabolically uniform. Different tumor regions may exhibit distinct metabolic dependencies, creating spatial variation in nutrient availability and immune-cell activity [22,23].
2.3 The tumor immune microenvironment
The cervical tumor immune microenvironment contains multiple immune-cell populations, including CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes, CD4+ helper T cells, regulatory T cells, natural killer cells, dendritic cells, tumor-associated macrophages, and myeloid-derived suppressor cells. Their relative abundance and functional state influence tumor progression and therapeutic response [24–26].
An effective antitumor response requires antigen recognition, immune-cell activation, metabolic adaptation, and sustained cytotoxic activity. However, malignant cells can establish an environment characterized by nutrient depletion, acidity, hypoxia, inhibitory cytokines, and immune-checkpoint signaling. These conditions may reduce the metabolic fitness of effector lymphocytes while supporting suppressive immune-cell populations [7,9,27].
3.1 The Warburg effect in cervical cancer
The Warburg effect refers to the preferential conversion of glucose into lactate despite the availability of oxygen. This metabolic pattern allows cancer cells to maintain high glycolytic flux and generate intermediates for biosynthetic pathways. Increased glucose transporter expression and glycolytic enzyme activity have been described in cervical cancer, supporting the relevance of glycolytic reprogramming in this disease [4,5,28].
Important glycolytic regulators include glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1), hexokinase 2 (HK2), phosphofructokinase, pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2), and lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA). Their altered expression can increase glucose utilization and lactate generation. HPV-associated signaling, oncogenic transcription factors, and hypoxia-responsive pathways may contribute to these changes [19,20,29].
3.2 Glucose competition between tumor cells and T lymphocytes
Activated CD8+ T cells require glucose to support proliferation, cytokine production, and cytotoxic activity. When tumor cells consume large quantities of glucose, the availability of this nutrient to infiltrating lymphocytes may decline. Reduced glucose availability can interfere with T-cell glycolysis and compromise effector functions [9,10,30].
This competition is particularly important in metabolically active tumors. A glucose-depleted microenvironment may favor the persistence of malignant cells while limiting the capacity of cytotoxic lymphocytes to produce interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), and cytotoxic molecules such as granzyme B and perforin [31,32].
3.3 Lactate accumulation and extracellular acidosis
LDHA converts pyruvate into lactate, regenerating NAD+ and supporting continued glycolysis. Lactate is transported across cellular membranes by monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs), including MCT1 and MCT4. Increased MCT4 expression and altered lactate transport have been associated with cervical cancer progression and metabolic adaptation [28,33].
Extracellular lactate accumulation can acidify the tumor microenvironment. Acidic conditions may suppress T-cell proliferation, reduce cytokine production, and impair natural killer cell activity. Lactate can also influence macrophage polarization and promote angiogenic and invasive tumor-associated processes [34–36].
The lactate-rich environment is therefore not simply a consequence of increased tumor glycolysis. It can function as an immunoregulatory signal that alters the behavior of neighboring cells. However, the exact contribution of lactate signaling to cervical tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte dysfunction requires additional disease-specific investigation.
3.4 Lactate transport as a therapeutic target
MCT1 and MCT4 represent potential targets for disrupting metabolic communication between tumor cells and their microenvironment. Inhibiting lactate export or uptake may reduce metabolic flexibility and alter extracellular pH. Preclinical studies in several tumor types suggest that interfering with lactate transport can improve antitumor immune activity [35,37].
In cervical cancer, MCT expression, lactate concentration, and immune-cell infiltration could be evaluated together to determine whether lactate transport is associated with treatment resistance. Combining MCT inhibition with immune-checkpoint blockade is an interesting experimental strategy, but it should not yet be considered an established cervical cancer treatment [37,38].
4.1 Hypoxia-inducible factor signaling
Rapid tumor growth and abnormal vascular development can produce regions of low oxygen tension. Hypoxia stabilizes HIF-1α, which regulates genes involved in glucose transport, glycolysis, angiogenesis, cell survival, and metabolic adaptation. HIF-1α can increase GLUT1, HK2, and other glycolysis-associated molecules, thereby reinforcing the metabolic phenotype of malignant cells [39–41].
In cervical cancer, hypoxia is associated with aggressive tumor characteristics and resistance to radiotherapy. HIF-associated signaling may also influence the expression of immune-regulatory molecules, including PD-L1, and promote the recruitment or activity of immunosuppressive cell populations [42,43].
4.2 Hypoxia-mediated immune dysfunction
Hypoxia affects both innate and adaptive immune responses. Although some immune-cell populations can adapt to low oxygen, sustained hypoxia may impair cytotoxic lymphocyte activity and alter cytokine production. HIF-dependent signaling can also influence macrophage differentiation, dendritic-cell function, and the recruitment of regulatory immune populations [40,44].
The interaction between hypoxia and lactate accumulation may further intensify immune suppression. Hypoxic tumor cells increase glycolytic activity, release lactate, and contribute to extracellular acidification. These changes can create a microenvironment in which tumor cells remain metabolically adaptable while effector lymphocytes experience unfavorable conditions [34,39,45].
4.3 HIF-1α and immune-checkpoint regulation
PD-1/PD-L1 signaling is an important mechanism of immune regulation in cervical cancer. PD-L1 expression can be influenced by inflammatory cytokines, oncogenic signaling, and hypoxia-associated pathways. HIF-1α-mediated regulation of PD-L1 has been demonstrated in cancer models and provides a possible connection between oxygen availability and immune escape [43,46].
The therapeutic relevance of this relationship is that hypoxia may contribute to resistance even when immune-checkpoint molecules are present. Therefore, the combined assessment of HIF-1α, PD-L1, oxygenation-related markers, and immune-cell infiltration may provide more information than measuring PD-L1 alone.
5.1 Tryptophan metabolism and the IDO1–kynurenine pathway
Tryptophan is an essential amino acid required for protein synthesis and immune-cell function. IDO1 catalyzes the conversion of tryptophan into kynurenine-pathway metabolites. Increased IDO1 activity can reduce local tryptophan availability and generate metabolites that interfere with antitumor immunity [47,48].
A particularly relevant cervical cancer study identified IDO1-expressing LAMP3-positive dendritic cells as important regulators of the immunosuppressive microenvironment. These cells were associated with regulatory T cells and exhausted CD8+ T cells, suggesting that tryptophan metabolism can participate in a reciprocal immune-suppressive network [49].
Kynurenine can activate the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), influencing immune-cell differentiation and promoting regulatory T-cell-associated responses. Tryptophan depletion can also activate stress-response pathways that restrict T-cell proliferation and function [47,50].
5.2 IDO1 and regulatory T-cell differentiation
Regulatory T cells suppress excessive immune activation and maintain immune tolerance. However, their accumulation within tumors can limit antitumor immunity. IDO1-mediated tryptophan catabolism may favor regulatory T-cell differentiation while suppressing the proliferation and activity of effector T cells [48,50].
In cervical cancer, the interaction between IDO1-expressing dendritic cells, regulatory T cells, and exhausted CD8+ lymphocytes provides a disease-specific example of metabolic regulation of immune escape [49]. This pathway may be particularly relevant when designing combination strategies involving IDO1 inhibition and immune-checkpoint blockade.
5.3 Glutamine metabolism
Glutamine contributes to protein synthesis, nucleotide production, redox regulation, and mitochondrial metabolism. Cancer cells can use glutamine to support the tricarboxylic acid cycle and maintain biosynthetic activity. Glutamine metabolism also influences the function of activated lymphocytes and other immune populations [51,52].
In the tumor microenvironment, competition for glutamine may restrict immune-cell activity. Glutamine availability affects T-cell differentiation, cytokine production, and metabolic flexibility. However, the effect of glutamine restriction is complex because different immune-cell populations have different metabolic requirements [9,51,53].
Glutaminase and glutamine transporters are therefore potential therapeutic targets. Nevertheless, systemic glutamine inhibition could also impair normal immune responses. Any therapeutic approach should consider the metabolic requirements of both malignant and immune cells.
5.4 Arginine metabolism
Arginine is important for T-cell proliferation, protein synthesis, and nitric oxide production. Arginase-expressing myeloid-derived suppressor cells and tumor-associated macrophages can reduce extracellular arginine availability. This may inhibit T-cell receptor signaling, proliferation, and cytokine production [54,55].
Arginine metabolism is also connected with nitric oxide synthase activity and macrophage function. Depending on the cellular context, nitric oxide can contribute to tumor-cell killing or support tumor progression through vascular and inflammatory effects. Consequently, arginine-related pathways should be interpreted in relation to the immune-cell population and tumor context being investigated [55,56].
6.1 Fatty-acid synthesis in cervical cancer
Lipid metabolism supports membrane formation, energy storage, signaling, and cellular proliferation. Cancer cells can increase de novo fatty-acid synthesis through pathways involving acetyl-CoA carboxylase, fatty-acid synthase, and sterol regulatory element-binding proteins. These pathways may help malignant cells adapt to changing nutrient conditions [57,58].
Altered lipid metabolism can also influence immune-cell function. Lipid accumulation in tumor-associated macrophages and dendritic cells may interfere with antigen processing and presentation. In addition, changes in fatty-acid availability can influence the differentiation and activity of T lymphocytes [59,60].
6.2 Fatty-acid oxidation and T-cell function
Fatty-acid oxidation (FAO) is an important energy-generating pathway in several immune-cell populations. Memory T cells frequently rely on mitochondrial metabolism and fatty-acid utilization to maintain long-term survival. By contrast, activated effector T cells generally increase glycolytic activity to support rapid proliferation and cytokine production [9,61].
Altered lipid availability in the tumor microenvironment may affect the balance between effector, memory, and exhausted T-cell states. Excessive lipid uptake can contribute to mitochondrial and endoplasmic-reticulum stress in some T-cell populations, thereby reducing their functional capacity [60,62].
6.3 Cholesterol metabolism
Cholesterol is required for cellular membranes and influences membrane organization, signaling, and immune-cell activation. However, excessive cholesterol accumulation can induce cellular stress and impair T-cell function. Cholesterol metabolism also influences immune-checkpoint signaling and the differentiation of immune-cell subsets [62,63].
Investigating cholesterol-related genes, including those involved in synthesis, transport, and efflux, may help identify metabolic features associated with immune dysfunction in cervical cancer. However, direct clinical evidence linking specific cholesterol-metabolism signatures to cervical cancer immunotherapy outcomes remains limited.
6.4 Lipid mediators and immunosuppression
Bioactive lipid mediators, including prostaglandins and other eicosanoids, can influence inflammation, angiogenesis, and immune-cell recruitment. Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), for example, can suppress aspects of antitumor immunity and support the development of immunosuppressive tumor-associated cell populations [64,65].
Targeting lipid mediator pathways may therefore complement immunotherapy. Cyclooxygenase-associated pathways, prostaglandin receptors, and lipid transport mechanisms are potential research targets, although their clinical utility in cervical cancer requires further evaluation.
7.1 Mitochondrial alterations in cervical cancer
Mitochondria regulate ATP production, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, apoptosis, and several biosynthetic pathways. Although cervical cancer cells often exhibit increased glycolysis, mitochondrial metabolism remains important for tumor-cell survival, redox balance, and adaptation to changing nutrient conditions [4,66].
HPV-associated signaling can influence mitochondrial function through alterations in tumor-suppressor pathways, oxidative stress responses, and apoptosis regulation. Mitochondrial adaptations may contribute to resistance against chemotherapy and radiotherapy, although their exact relationship with immune-cell dysfunction requires additional investigation [66,67].
7.2 Mitochondrial dysfunction in tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes
Mitochondrial fitness is essential for sustained T-cell activity. Dysfunctional mitochondria can increase oxidative stress, reduce respiratory capacity, and contribute to T-cell exhaustion. In cancer, persistent antigen stimulation and nutrient limitation may produce metabolic conditions that progressively weaken cytotoxic lymphocyte function [61,68].
Restoring mitochondrial function is therefore being investigated as a strategy to improve antitumor immunity. Potential approaches include improving mitochondrial biogenesis, supporting oxidative metabolism, and reducing excessive oxidative stress. Such approaches must be carefully balanced because ROS also participate in normal immune signaling and tumor-cell killing [68,69].
7.3 Reactive oxygen species and redox regulation
ROS are generated during mitochondrial respiration and several enzymatic reactions. At controlled levels, ROS participate in cellular signaling. Excessive ROS, however, can cause oxidative damage to DNA, proteins, and lipids. Tumor cells frequently develop antioxidant mechanisms to maintain redox balance and survive under metabolic stress [70,71].
In immune cells, redox imbalance can impair antigen recognition, cytokine signaling, and cytotoxic activity. Therefore, the relationship between ROS and immunity is context-dependent. Therapeutic strategies should aim to selectively disrupt tumor-cell redox adaptation without compromising the oxidative mechanisms required for effective immune responses.
7.4 Mitochondrial metabolism and treatment resistance
Mitochondrial plasticity may influence sensitivity to chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapy. Changes in oxidative phosphorylation, mitochondrial dynamics, mitophagy, and apoptotic signaling can contribute to tumor-cell survival following treatment [66,67].
In cervical cancer, investigating mitochondrial markers alongside immune-cell phenotypes may help clarify whether metabolic adaptation is associated with treatment-resistant disease. Potential markers include mitochondrial DNA alterations, respiratory-chain proteins, ROS-associated markers, and regulators of mitochondrial biogenesis and mitophagy.
8.1 CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes
CD8+ T lymphocytes are central to antitumor immunity because they recognize tumor-associated antigens and kill malignant cells. Their activity depends on adequate nutrient availability, mitochondrial function, glycolytic capacity, and appropriate cytokine signaling [30,61].
In metabolically hostile tumor environments, CD8+ T cells may exhibit reduced proliferation, impaired IFN-γ production, diminished cytotoxic activity, and increased expression of exhaustion-associated molecules such as PD-1, TIM-3, and LAG-3. These changes may limit tumor control and reduce the effectiveness of immune-checkpoint blockade [68,72].
8.2 CD4+ helper T lymphocytes
CD4+ helper T cells coordinate immune responses by producing cytokines and supporting cytotoxic lymphocytes, B cells, and antigen-presenting cells. Their differentiation into distinct functional subsets is influenced by metabolic signaling, nutrient availability, and cytokine exposure [73].
In cervical cancer, the balance between antitumor helper T-cell responses and immunosuppressive regulatory T-cell populations may influence disease progression. Metabolic pathways such as glycolysis, mitochondrial oxidation, and amino-acid metabolism can contribute to this balance.
8.3 Regulatory T cells
Regulatory T cells are characterized by the expression of FOXP3 and suppressive immune functions. They can limit antitumor immunity through inhibitory cytokines, metabolic competition, and direct suppression of effector lymphocytes [74].
Regulatory T cells may adapt to nutrient-limited environments differently from effector T cells. Their metabolic flexibility can support survival under conditions in which glucose availability is restricted. In cervical cancer, IDO1-associated tryptophan metabolism and the presence of immunoregulatory dendritic cells may further support regulatory T-cell accumulation [49,74].
8.4 Tumor-associated macrophages
Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are important regulators of inflammation, angiogenesis, tissue remodeling, and immune suppression. Macrophage phenotypes exist along a continuum rather than as strictly separated M1 and M2 categories. Their functional states are influenced by cytokines, metabolites, oxygen tension, and signals from tumor cells [75,76].
In cervical cancer, TAMs have been associated with tumor progression, angiogenesis, invasion, and immune suppression. The 2024 review by Wang and colleagues summarizes the contribution of TAMs to cervical cancer biology and discusses their therapeutic relevance [77].
Metabolic pathways influence macrophage function. Glycolysis, oxidative phosphorylation, fatty-acid metabolism, and amino-acid utilization can shape inflammatory or immunoregulatory phenotypes. Targeting macrophage metabolism may therefore provide an opportunity to modify the tumor microenvironment [75,76].
8.5 Myeloid-derived suppressor cells
Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are immunosuppressive myeloid populations that can inhibit T-cell activity through arginine depletion, ROS production, nitric oxide signaling, and other mechanisms. Their accumulation can contribute to tumor progression and reduced response to immunotherapy [54,78].
MDSCs can also interact with tumor-associated macrophages and regulatory T cells, reinforcing immune suppression. Their metabolic activity is influenced by the availability of amino acids, lipids, and glucose. Evaluating MDSC abundance alongside arginase activity and T-cell function may help characterize immunometabolic suppression in cervical cancer.
8.6 Dendritic cells and antigen presentation
Dendritic cells are responsible for antigen uptake, processing, and presentation to T lymphocytes. Their metabolic state influences maturation, migration, cytokine production, and antigen-presenting capacity [79].
A particularly important cervical cancer observation concerns IDO1-expressing LAMP3-positive dendritic cells. These cells have been associated with exhausted CD8+ T cells and regulatory T cells, suggesting that dendritic-cell metabolism can contribute directly to immune tolerance in cervical tumors [49].
8.7 Natural killer cells
Natural killer (NK) cells recognize and eliminate abnormal cells without requiring conventional antigen-specific recognition. Their cytotoxic activity depends on metabolic pathways that support cellular activation, granule release, and cytokine production [80].
Nutrient limitation, hypoxia, lactate accumulation, and suppressive cytokines may reduce NK-cell activity in tumors. Enhancing NK-cell metabolic fitness is therefore a potential component of future immunometabolic therapies.
9.1 PD-1/PD-L1 signaling
The PD-1/PD-L1 pathway is a major inhibitory checkpoint that regulates T-cell activation. PD-1 expression increases during persistent antigen stimulation, while PD-L1 can be expressed by malignant cells and other cells within the tumor microenvironment. Their interaction reduces T-cell receptor signaling and limits cytotoxic immune activity [81].
In cervical cancer, HPV-associated immune regulation, inflammatory signaling, and hypoxia may contribute to PD-L1 expression. The presence of PD-L1 is clinically relevant because immune-checkpoint inhibitors have demonstrated benefit in selected cervical cancer settings. Nevertheless, PD-L1 expression alone does not fully explain treatment response [16,17,81].
9.2 CTLA-4-mediated immune suppression
CTLA-4 is an inhibitory receptor that regulates early T-cell activation and competes with the costimulatory receptor CD28 for binding to CD80 and CD86. Its activity is particularly important in regulatory T-cell-mediated immune suppression [82].
CTLA-4 signaling may cooperate with metabolic mechanisms that limit effector T-cell activity. Consequently, combining CTLA-4-directed treatment with interventions targeting immunosuppressive metabolism is a potential research direction.
9.3 Interaction between metabolic pathways and immune checkpoints
Metabolic stress and immune-checkpoint signaling can reinforce each other. Nutrient deprivation, lactate accumulation, hypoxia, and mitochondrial dysfunction may promote T-cell exhaustion, while inhibitory checkpoint signaling can further reduce metabolic activity and effector function [7,68,81].
This relationship provides a rationale for combination approaches that simultaneously improve immune-cell metabolic fitness and inhibit suppressive checkpoint pathways. However, the optimal combination and timing must be established experimentally and clinically.
10.1 Targeting glycolysis
Inhibiting glycolysis may reduce tumor-cell energy production and biosynthetic activity. Potential targets include GLUT1, HK2, PKM2, and LDHA. However, glycolysis is also essential for activated effector lymphocytes, making nonselective inhibition potentially harmful to antitumor immunity [28,30,83].
A more selective strategy could target tumor-associated glucose transport, glycolytic enzymes, or metabolic dependencies that are more pronounced in malignant cells. The therapeutic window of such approaches requires careful assessment.
10.2 Targeting lactate production and transport
Inhibitors of LDHA and MCT1/MCT4 may reduce lactate production or transport, potentially limiting extracellular acidification and improving immune-cell activity. These strategies are supported by preclinical research in multiple cancer types but require direct evaluation in cervical cancer models [35,37,83].
Potential experimental combinations include lactate-transport inhibition with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy, radiotherapy, or cytotoxic chemotherapy. Biomarkers such as LDHA, MCT1, MCT4, and intratumoral lactate could help identify tumors with strong lactate-associated metabolic activity.
10.3 Targeting IDO1 and tryptophan metabolism
IDO1 inhibition is a particularly relevant strategy in cervical cancer because IDO1-expressing LAMP3-positive dendritic cells have been implicated in the formation of an immunosuppressive microenvironment. Experimental evidence suggests that combining IDO1 inhibition with immune-checkpoint blockade can improve tumor control in cervical cancer models [49].
Potential approaches include IDO1 inhibition, modulation of kynurenine production, and interference with kynurenine–AhR signaling. These strategies should be evaluated with measurements of tryptophan, kynurenine, IDO1 expression, regulatory T-cell abundance, and CD8+ T-cell function.
10.4 Targeting glutamine metabolism
Glutaminase and glutamine transport pathways are being investigated as metabolic targets in cancer. Their inhibition may reduce tumor-cell biosynthesis and alter metabolic competition within the tumor microenvironment [51,52].
However, glutamine is also important for lymphocyte activation and survival. Therefore, combining glutamine-pathway inhibitors with immunotherapy requires careful dose selection and evaluation of immune-cell metabolic effects.
10.5 Modulating lipid metabolism
Inhibiting fatty-acid synthesis or modifying lipid uptake may affect tumor-cell growth and immune-cell function. Potential targets include fatty-acid synthase, acetyl-CoA carboxylase, sterol regulatory element-binding proteins, and selected lipid transport proteins [57–60].
Strategies that modify lipid metabolism may be particularly useful when cervical tumors display strong lipid-metabolic signatures. However, systemic inhibition could affect normal tissues and immune-cell populations, making tumor-selective delivery desirable.
10.6 Modulating adenosine signaling
Adenosine is an immunosuppressive metabolite generated through extracellular nucleotide metabolism. CD39 and CD73 contribute to the conversion of extracellular ATP into adenosine, which can activate adenosine receptors and suppress antitumor immune responses [84].
Adenosine signaling may inhibit cytotoxic T-cell and NK-cell functions while supporting immunosuppressive populations. Blocking CD39, CD73, or adenosine receptors is therefore a potential strategy for improving antitumor immunity. Its precise therapeutic value in cervical cancer remains under investigation.
10.7 Improving mitochondrial fitness
Strategies that improve mitochondrial function may support T-cell persistence and cytotoxic activity. Potential approaches include regulating mitochondrial biogenesis, oxidative phosphorylation, mitochondrial dynamics, and oxidative stress responses [61,68,69].
Such approaches could be explored alongside immune-checkpoint inhibitors or adoptive cell therapies. The main challenge is achieving selective improvement of immune-cell fitness without supporting mitochondrial adaptation in malignant cells.
11.1 Immunometabolism and chemotherapy
Chemotherapy can influence tumor-cell metabolism and the immune microenvironment. Treatment-induced tumor-cell death may release antigens and danger-associated molecular patterns, potentially supporting antitumor immune responses. However, chemotherapy can also affect lymphocyte numbers and immune-cell function [85].
Combining metabolic inhibitors with chemotherapy may increase tumor-cell vulnerability, but the sequence and dose of treatment are important. Experimental studies should assess tumor response, immune-cell viability, cytokine production, and metabolic changes after treatment.
11.2 Immunometabolism and radiotherapy
Radiotherapy can induce DNA damage, modify tumor antigen presentation, and stimulate inflammatory signaling. At the same time, radiation-associated hypoxia, oxidative stress, and metabolic adaptation may contribute to treatment resistance [39,42].
Combining radiotherapy with strategies targeting hypoxia, lactate metabolism, or immune checkpoints may improve treatment response. Such combinations require evaluation of both tumor radiosensitivity and immune-cell preservation.
11.3 Immunometabolism and immune-checkpoint blockade
Immune-checkpoint blockade may be more effective when tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes retain sufficient metabolic fitness. A metabolically hostile tumor microenvironment can limit the benefits of checkpoint inhibition by restricting glucose availability, increasing lactate, and promoting T-cell exhaustion [7,68].
Combining PD-1/PD-L1 blockade with IDO1 inhibition, lactate-transport inhibition, or selected metabolic interventions is therefore a promising strategy. In cervical cancer, the IDO1–LAMP3-positive dendritic-cell axis provides a disease-specific rationale for investigating metabolic and checkpoint combinations [49].
12.1 Metabolic biomarkers
Potential metabolic biomarkers include GLUT1, HK2, PKM2, LDHA, MCT1, MCT4, HIF-1α, glutaminase, fatty-acid synthase, and IDO1. Their expression may reflect metabolic dependencies and provide information about tumor adaptation [28,33,39,47,57].
12.2 Immune-cell biomarkers
Immune profiling may include CD8, CD4, FOXP3, CD68, CD163, CD11c, CD33, CD15, PD-1, PD-L1, TIM-3, and LAG-3. Combining these markers with metabolic measurements may provide a more comprehensive assessment of the tumor microenvironment [24–26,49,77].
12.3 Metabolite-based biomarkers
Lactate, kynurenine, tryptophan, arginine, glutamine, and selected lipid mediators may provide information about metabolic activity and immune suppression. Measurements in tumor tissue, plasma, or other biological samples could be evaluated for diagnostic, prognostic, or predictive value.
12.4 Integrated biomarker panels
A combined biomarker panel may include:
Such panels could be assessed using immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, quantitative PCR, Western blotting, ELISA, flow cytometry, and targeted metabolomics.
13.1 Cervical cancer cell-line models
HeLa and SiHa cells are frequently used to investigate HPV-associated cervical cancer biology. HeLa cells contain HPV18-associated oncogenic sequences, whereas SiHa cells are associated with HPV16. These models can be used to examine glycolysis, mitochondrial activity, oxidative stress, and responses to metabolic inhibitors.
However, conventional cancer cell lines do not reproduce the complete immune microenvironment. Therefore, metabolic findings from HeLa and SiHa monocultures should not automatically be interpreted as evidence of immune-cell suppression.
13.2 Immune-cell co-culture systems
Co-culture experiments can provide a more direct assessment of metabolic interactions between tumor cells and immune cells. Cervical cancer cells may be cultured with CD8+ T cells, CD4+ T cells, macrophages, dendritic cells, or NK cells to investigate changes in immune-cell activation and tumor-cell killing.
Relevant outcomes include cytokine production, immune-cell proliferation, cytotoxicity, apoptosis, and expression of exhaustion-associated markers. Measuring glucose consumption, lactate release, and amino-acid concentrations can help connect metabolic alterations with immune-cell function.
13.3 Three-dimensional models and organoids
Three-dimensional spheroids and patient-derived organoids can better reproduce certain structural and metabolic features of tumors than conventional two-dimensional cell cultures. They may provide opportunities to investigate oxygen gradients, nutrient limitation, drug penetration, and tumor-cell heterogeneity.
Immune-cell integration into organoid systems may further improve their relevance for immunometabolic studies. Nevertheless, the availability of standardized cervical cancer organoid models containing functional immune components remains a challenge.
13.4 Animal models
Animal models can be used to examine tumor growth, immune-cell recruitment, systemic metabolism, and treatment response. Immunocompetent models are particularly important when investigating immune-mediated mechanisms because xenograft models using human tumor cells in immunodeficient animals cannot fully reproduce an intact antitumor immune response.
For cervical cancer research, model selection should reflect the biological question, HPV-associated features, and the need to evaluate immune function.
13.5 Metabolomics and transcriptomics
Untargeted and targeted metabolomics can identify alterations in glucose, amino-acid, lipid, and mitochondrial pathways. Transcriptomic approaches can identify metabolic genes and immune-associated signatures, while single-cell RNA sequencing can help distinguish the metabolic programs of malignant and immune-cell populations.
Spatial transcriptomics and spatial metabolomics may be particularly valuable because metabolic conditions differ between hypoxic tumor regions, vascularized areas, and immune-cell-rich regions. Integrating these technologies may help identify localized immunometabolic interactions.
Despite growing interest, several challenges limit the translation of immunometabolic research into cervical cancer treatment.
First, cervical cancer is metabolically heterogeneous. HPV genotype, histological subtype, tumor stage, treatment history, and microenvironmental conditions may influence metabolic dependencies. Second, metabolic pathways are shared by malignant and immune cells, making selective targeting difficult. Third, results obtained from cell-line experiments may not accurately reflect the complexity of patient tumors.
Another major limitation is the shortage of prospective clinical studies specifically designed to test immunometabolic interventions in cervical cancer. Although immune-checkpoint inhibitors have established clinical roles in selected settings, many metabolism-directed combinations remain experimental. Biomarker validation, pharmacokinetic evaluation, toxicity assessment, and appropriate patient stratification are therefore essential.
Finally, the relationship between a metabolic marker and clinical outcome does not automatically establish that the pathway is a therapeutic driver. Functional studies are needed to distinguish causal mechanisms from associations.
Future cervical cancer research should move beyond the separate analysis of tumor metabolism and immune-cell composition. Instead, integrated approaches should investigate how metabolic changes in malignant cells influence the activity of neighboring immune populations.
Several research priorities deserve attention:
The integration of metabolomics, transcriptomics, spatial analysis, and functional immunology may ultimately enable the identification of patient-specific metabolic vulnerabilities. However, these approaches require standardized protocols, independent validation cohorts, and carefully designed clinical studies.
Immunometabolism provides an important framework for understanding the interaction between tumor-cell metabolism and immune regulation in cervical cancer. HPV-associated oncogenic signaling can influence glycolysis, mitochondrial function, lipid metabolism, amino-acid utilization, and hypoxia-associated pathways. These metabolic alterations may create conditions that impair cytotoxic lymphocytes and support immunosuppressive populations, including regulatory T cells, tumor-associated macrophages, and myeloid-derived suppressor cells.
Among the pathways discussed, the IDO1–kynurenine axis, lactate-associated metabolic changes, hypoxia signaling, and altered lipid metabolism represent important areas for further investigation. The identification of IDO1-expressing LAMP3-positive dendritic cells in cervical cancer provides a particularly relevant example of how metabolism and immune regulation can interact within the tumor microenvironment.
Although immune-checkpoint inhibitors have improved treatment options for selected patients, metabolic barriers may contribute to variable therapeutic responses. Combining immune-based treatments with carefully selected metabolic interventions may therefore represent a promising direction. Further validation using immune-competent models, patient-derived systems, spatial multiomics, and prospective clinical studies will be essential before these approaches can be incorporated into routine cervical cancer management.

Dear Maria Emerson, Editorial Coordinator of International Journal of Clinical Case Reports and Reviews, What distinguishes International Journal of Clinical Case Report and Review is not only the scientific rigor of its publications, but the intellectual climate in which research is evaluated. The submission process is refreshingly free of unnecessary formal barriers and bureaucratic rituals that often complicate academic publishing without adding real value. The peer-review system is demanding yet constructive, guided by genuine scientific dialogue rather than hierarchical or authoritarian attitudes. Reviewers act as collaborators in improving the manuscript, not as gatekeepers imposing arbitrary standards. This journal offers a rare balance: high methodological standards combined with a respectful, transparent, and supportive editorial approach. In an era where publishing can feel more burdensome than research itself, this platform restores the original purpose of peer review — to refine ideas, not to obstruct them Prof. Perlat Kapisyzi, FCCP PULMONOLOGIST AND THORACIC IMAGING.
Dear Reader: We have published several articles in the Auctores Publishing, LLC, journal, Clinical Medical Reviews and Reports in recent years (CMRR). This is an ‘open access’ journal and the following are our observations. From the initial invitation to submit an article, to the final edits of galley proofs, we have found CMRR personnel to be professional, responsive, rapid and thorough. This entire process begins with Catherine Mitchell, Editorial Coordinator. She is simply outstanding, and, I believe, unparalleled in her capacity. I cannot imagine a more responsive and dedicated Editorial Coordinator. As I read the dates and timing of her correspondence with us, it seems that she never sleeps. I hope Auctores Publishing, LLC, appreciates her efforts as much as these authors do. Thank you to Auctores Publishing, LLC, to the Editorial Staff/Board, and to Catherine Mitchell from a grateful author(s).

Dear Mayra Duenas, Editorial Coordinator of the journal IJCCR, I write here a little on my experience as an author submitting to the International Journal of Clinical Case Reports and Reviews (IJCCR). This was my first submission to IJCCR and my manuscript was inherently an outsider’s effort. It attempted to broadly identify and then make some sense of life’s under-appreciated mysteries. I initially had responded to a request for possible submissions. I then contacted IJCCR with a tentative topic for a manuscript. They quickly got back with an approval for the submission, but with a particular requirement that it be medically relevant. I then put together a manuscript and submitted it. After the usual back-and-forth over forms and formality, the manuscript was sent off for reviews. Within 2 weeks I got back 4 reviews which were both helpful and also surprising. Surprising in that the topic was somewhat foreign to medical literature. My subsequent updates in response to the reviewer comments went smoothly and in short order I had a series of proofs to evaluate. All in all, the whole publication process seemed outstanding. It was both helpful in terms of the paper’s content and also in terms of its efficient and friendly communications. Thank you all very much. Sincerely, Ted Christopher, Rochester, NY.
