The role of disturbed pH dynamics and the Na+/H+ exchanger in metastasis

Recent research has highlighted the fundamental role of the tumour's extracellular metabolic microenvironment in malignant invasion. This microenvironment is acidified primarily by the tumour-cell Na+/H+ exchanger NHE1 and the H+/lactate cotransporter, which are activated in cancer cells. NHE1 also regulates formation of invadopodia — cell structures that mediate tumour cell migration and invasion. How do these alterations of the metabolic microenvironment and cell invasiveness contribute to tumour formation and progression?
