The role of the HIF‐1α/ALYREF/PKM2 axis in glycolysis and tumorigenesis of bladder cancer
Background As a rate‐limiting enzyme of glycolysis, pyruvate kinase muscle isozyme M2 (PKM2) participates in tumor metabolism and growth. The regulatory network of PKM2 in cancer is complex and has not been fully studied in bladder cancer.

Structure, function and inhibition of poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase, member 14 (PARP14) [PDF]
Poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase, member 14 (PARP14, alternatively named ARTD8, BAL2, and COAST6) is an intracellular mono(ADP-ribosyl) transferase. PARP14 transfers a negatively charged ADP-ribose unit from a donor NAD+ molecule onto a target protein, post ...

PKM2 in carcinogenesis and oncotherapy
Tumor cell metabolism is characterized by abundant glucose consumption and aerobic glycolysis. And pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) plays a decisive role in glycolysis, significantly contributing to the Warburg effect, tumor growth, angiogenesis, cell division, metastasis and apoptosis.

PKM2: A gatekeeper between growth and survival [PDF]
Pyruvate kinase catalyzes the transfer of a high-energy phosphate group from phosphoenol pyruvate (PEP) to generate pyruvate and ATP, a reaction that is the rate-limiting step of the glycolytic pathway. The PKM1 alternatively-spliced isoform is ubiquitously expressed whereas the PKM2 isoform is normally highly expressed only in embryos and ...

miRNAs link metabolic reprogramming to oncogenesis [PDF]
The most profound biochemical phenotype of cancer cells is their ability to metabolize glucose to lactate, even under aerobic conditions. This alternative metabolic circuitry is sufficient to support the biosynthetic and energy requirements for cancer ...

IGF1 regulates PKM2 function through Akt phosphorylation [PDF]
Pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) acts at the crossroad of growth and metabolism pathways in cells. PKM2 regulation by growth factors can redirect glycolytic intermediates into key biosynthetic pathway. Here we show that IGF1 can regulate glycolysis rate, stimulate PKM2 Ser/Thr phosphorylation and decrease cellular pyruvate kinase activity. Upon IGF1 treatment

Please Keep Me 2uned to PKM2 [PDF]
In this issue of Molecular Cell, Keller et al. (2014) found that binding of the metabolite SAICAR to PKM2 induces the protein kinase activity of an enzyme normally designed to terminate the glycolytic pathway.

FOXM1D potentiates PKM2‐mediated tumor glycolysis and angiogenesis [PDF]
Tumor growth, especially in the late stage, requires adequate nutrients and rich vasculature, in which PKM2 plays a convergent role. It has been reported that PKM2, together with FOXM1D, is upregulated in late‐stage colorectal cancer and associated with metastasis; however, their underlying mechanism for promoting tumor progression

Revisiting glucose metabolism in cancer: lessons from a PKM knock-in model
Isoform selection of pyruvate kinase M (PKM), a glycolytic enzyme, influences fates of glucose-derived carbons in cellular metabolic networks. We recently developed novel mouse lines to study PKM isoform function and identified PKM1 as a potential target

PKM2 is not required for colon cancer initiated by APC loss
Background Cancer cells express the M2 isoform of the glycolytic enzyme pyruvate kinase (PKM2). PKM2 expression is not required for some cancers, and PKM2 loss can promote cancer progression; however, PKM2 has been reported to be essential in other tumor
