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 ...

Hormonal control of the metabolic machinery of hepatocellular carcinoma [PDF]
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most fatal malignancies worldwide. It is an aggressive cancer with low cure rate, frequent metastasis, and highly resistant to conventional chemotherapies.

Knockdown of PKM2 enhances radiosensitivity of cervical cancer cells [PDF]
Pyruvate kinase isozyme type M2 (PKM2) catalyzes the final step in glycolysis and has been found to be up-regulated in multiple human malignancies. However, whether PKM2 regulates the radiosensitivity of human cervical cancer (CC) remains unknown.The expression of PKM2 in 94 patients with CC in the complete response (CR) and noncomplete response (nCR ...

Insulin Resistance and Metabolic Hepatocarcinogenesis with Parent-of-Origin Effects in A×B Mice [PDF]
Insulin resistance is a defining feature of metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes mellitus but also may occur independently of these conditions. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), the hepatic manifestation of these disorders, increases the risk ...

PKM2 coordinates glycolysis with mitochondrial fusion and oxidative phosphorylation [PDF]
A change in the metabolic flux of glucose from mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) to aerobic glycolysis is regarded as one hallmark of cancer. However, the mechanisms underlying the metabolic switch between aerobic glycolysis and OXPHOS are unclear.

Pyruvate kinase M2 inhibits cisplatin induced caspase-dependent apoptosis via ERK-mediated signaling pathway in hepatocellular carcinoma cells [PDF]
M2型丙酮酸激酶(pyruvatekinaseisoenzymetypeM2,PKM2)在肿瘤代谢 和生长等方面发挥重要作用。此外,PKM2还可作为蛋白激酶及辅助转录因子, 调控相关基因的转录表达,促进肿瘤细胞的增殖。我们实验室前期已经证实了 PKM2在肝细胞癌中高表达,并通过EGF/EGFR及TGFβ/TGFβR信号通路调控 肝癌细胞的迁移、侵袭。本课题研究目的在于进一步探索PKM2在肝癌细胞增 殖与凋亡方面的调控作用及相关分子生物学机制。 采用短发夹RNA转染HepG2和Huh7两株肝癌细胞株 ...

Class III PI3K regulates organismal glucose homeostasis by providing negative feedback on hepatic insulin signalling. [PDF]
Defective hepatic insulin receptor (IR) signalling is a pathogenic manifestation of metabolic disorders including obesity and diabetes. The endo/lysosomal trafficking system may coordinate insulin action and nutrient homeostasis by endocytosis of IR and ...
