Modulation of PKM alternative splicing by PTBP1 promotes gemcitabine resistance in pancreatic cancer cells [PDF]
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is an aggressive and incurable disease. Poor prognosis is due to multiple reasons, including acquisition of resistance to gemcitabine, the first-line chemotherapeutic approach.

Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential involvement of pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2), an enzyme acting as a rate-limiting enzyme in the final phase of glycolysis, in the regulation of glial activation and brain damage of ...

Modeling cancer metabolism on a genome scale [PDF]
Cancer cells have fundamentally altered cellular metabolism that is associated with their tumorigenicity and malignancy. In addition to the widely studied Warburg effect, several new key metabolic alterations in cancer have been established over the last

PKM2 functions as a histone kinase [PDF]
In the presence of oxygen, most differentiated cells generate the energy needed for cellular processes primarily by metabolizing glucose to carbon dioxide by oxidation of glycolytic pyruvate in the mitochondrial tricarboxylic acid cycle. When oxygen becomes limited, differentiated cells produce large amounts of lactate.

Metabolic reprogramming identifies the most aggressive lesions at early phases of hepatic carcinogenesis [PDF]
Metabolic changes are associated with cancer, but whether they are just bystander effects of deregulated oncogenic signaling pathways or characterize early phases of tumorigenesis remains unclear.

The M2 isoform of pyruvate kinase, highly expressed in tumor cells, is known to engage a feed forward loop with the glycolysis master transcription factor HIF-1α. Gao and co-authors recently showed that dimeric PKM2 localizes to the nucleus in highly proliferating cancer cells, where it regulates in vivo growth by acting as a protein kinase and ...

Pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) links metabolic and inflammatory dysfunction in atherosclerotic coronary artery disease; however, its role in oxidized LDL (Ox-LDL)-induced macrophage foam cell formation and inflammation is unknown and therefore was studied. In

Dual roles of PKM2 in cancer metabolism [PDF]
Cancer cells have distinct metabolism that highly depends on glycolysis instead of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation alone, known as aerobic glycolysis. Pyruvate kinase (PK), which catalyzes the final step of glycolysis, has emerged as a potential regulator of this metabolic phenotype.

Pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) is an alternatively spliced variant, which mediates the conversion of glucose to lactate in cancer cells under normoxic conditions, known as the Warburg effect.
