Abstract:
Head and neck cancers, including oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), are the sixth most common malignancies worldwide. OSCC frequently leads to oral dysfunction, which worsens a patient’s quality of life. Moreover, its prognosis remains poor. Unlike normal cells, tumor cells preferentially metabolize glucose by aerobic glycolysis. Pyruvate kinase (PK) catalyzes the final step in glycolysis, and the transition from PKM1 to PKM2 is observed in many cancer cells. However, little is known about PKM expression and function in OSCC. In this study, we investigated the expression of PKM in OSCC speci

Abstract:
Abstract A common characteristic among nearly all cancers, including leukemia, is the cell’s metabolic proclivity for glycolysis over the more energy efficient process of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) in the presence of oxygen. This altered state of aerobic glycolysis was observed in tumor cells by Otto Warburg over fifty years ago (Warburg, 1956) and continues to be intensely investigated in hopes of ultimately exploiting this “Warburg effect” in the treatment of cancer (Vander Heiden et al. 2009).

Abstract Background: Most of the cellular responses initiated upon platelet activation are energy consuming.

Abstract The pyruvate kinase (PK) is a rate-limiting glycolytic enzyme catalyzing the dephosphorylation of phosphoenolpyruvate to pyruvate.

Abstract:
Abstract Increased glycolysis is involved in the proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Pyruvate kinase isoform M2 (PKM2), a key rate-limiting enzyme in glycolysis, accelerates the proliferation and migration of tumor cells. Although the intracellular mechanisms associated with oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL)-stimulated VSMC proliferation and migration have been extensively explored, it is still unclear whether oxLDL promotes the proliferation and migration of VSMCs by enhancing PKM2-dependent glycolysis. In the present study, we detected PKM2 expression

Abstract:
Background. Tripartite motif containing 58 (TRIM58), an E3 ubiquitin ligase, is reported as a suppressor gene in certain human tumors. However, the biological function of TRIM58 in osteosarcoma (OS) is still less identified. Methods. In the present study, TRIM58 induced silencing and overexpression in OS cells using RNA interference (RNAi) and lentiviral-mediated vector, respectively. Cell proliferation profiles were analyzed using cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. Cell apoptosis profiles were determined using a flow cytometer. qRT-PCR and western blot were used to determine gene expression.

Abstract:
Aerobic glycolysis is the dominant metabolic pathway utilized by cancer cells, owing to its ability to divert glucose metabolites from ATP production towards the synthesis of cellular building blocks (nucleotides, amino acids, and lipids) to meet the demands of proliferation. The M2 isoform of pyruvate kinase (PKM2) catalyzes the final and also a rate-limiting reaction in the glycolytic pathway. In the PK family, PKM2 is subjected to a complex regulation by both oncogenes and tumour suppressors, which allows for a fine-tone regulation of PKM2 activity. The less active form of PKM2 drives gluco

Abstract:
Reprogrammed glucose metabolism is one of the hallmarks of cancer, and increased expression of key glycolytic enzymes, such as pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) and lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA), has been associated with poor prognosis in various malignancies. Targeting these enzymes could attenuate aerobic glycolysis and inhibit tumor proliferation. We investigated whether the PKM2 activator, TEPP-46, and the LDHA inhibitor, FX-11, can be combined to inhibit in vitro and in vivo tumor growth in preclinical models of pancreatic cancer. We assessed PKM2 and LDHA expression, enzyme activity, and cell p

Severe aplastic anemia (SAA) is a rare disease characterized by severe pancytopenia and bone marrow failure. Over-activated myeloid dendritic cells (mDCs) play an important role in the pathogenesis of SAA. In recent years, the role of pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) in DC function and autoimmune response has been gradually recognized. In this study, an immune attack-mediated AA mouse model was constructed by total body irradiation and lymphocyte infusion. The AA model mice showed pancytopenia, decreased ratio of CD4+/CD8+ cells, increased expression of cytotoxic molecules perforin and granzyme in CD

Abstract Severe aplastic anemia (SAA) is a hematologic disease characterized by pancytopenia with severe bone marrow failure. Our previous studies have demonstrated that activated myeloid dendritic cells (mDCs) increased in the bone marrow of SAA patients, which might promote Th0 cells to polarize to Th1 cells and cause the subsequent over-function of T lymphocytes and hematopoiesis failure in SAA. The other notable finding in our study is that abnormal expression of pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) in mDCs from SAA patients may be one of the reason for mDC hyperfunction. Human pyruvate kinase M2, wh

Redox regulation of proteins via cysteine residue oxidation is involved in the control of various cellular signal pathways. Pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2), a rate-limiting enzyme in glycolysis, is critical for the metabolic shift from glycolysis to the pentose phosphate pathway under oxidative stress in cancer cell growth. The PKM2 tetramer is required for optimal pyruvate kinase (PK) activity, whereas the inhibition of inter-subunit interaction of PKM2 induced by Cys358 oxidation has reduced PK activity. In the present study, we identified three oxidation-sensitive cysteine residues (Cys358, Cys42

Abstract:
SIRT6 (sirtuin 6) is a member of sirtuin family of deacetylases involved in diverse processes including genome stability, metabolic homeostasis, and tumorigenesis. However, the role of SIRT6 deacetylase activity in its tumor-suppressor functions is not well understood. Here we report that SIRT6 binds to and deacetylates nuclear PKM2 (pyruvate kinase M2) at the lysine 433 residue. PKM2 is a glycolytic enzyme with nonmetabolic nuclear oncogenic functions. SIRT6-mediated deacetylation results in PKM2 nuclear export. We further have identified exportin 4 as the specific transporter mediating PKM2
