Overview of Gene Research
Pfkfb3, also known as 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase 3, is a key glycolytic enzyme. It produces fructose-2,6-biphosphate (F2,6BP) which activates 6-phosphofructo-1-kinase (PFK-1) in glycolysis, playing a crucial role in metabolic reprogramming. Its activity is involved in multiple signaling pathways and is important for various biological processes such as cell proliferation, DNA repair, and drug resistance [6]. Genetic models like KO/CKO mouse models are valuable for studying its functions.
In kidney fibrosis, PTC-specific deletion of Pfkfb3 in mice reduced kidney lactate levels, mitigated inflammation and fibrosis, and preserved kidney function after ischemia-reperfusion injury, indicating its role in driving kidney fibrosis through promoting histone lactylation-mediated NF-κB family activation [1]. In sepsis, inhibition of Pfkfb3 alone or in combination showed potential in treatment as sepsis-induced high expression of Pfkfb3 in cells enhanced glycolytic flux, related to excessive inflammation and high mortality [2]. In vessel sprouting, loss of Pfkfb3 in endothelial cells impaired vessel formation [3]. In endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition and fibrotic response, pharmacological suppression or haplodeficiency of Pfkfb3 attenuated these processes [4]. In pulmonary hypertension, heterozygous global deficiency or endothelial-specific deficiency of Pfkfb3 in mice protected them from developing or slowed the progression of PH [5].
In conclusion, Pfkfb3 is essential in regulating glycolysis and has significant impacts on multiple biological processes. Studies using KO/CKO mouse models have revealed its roles in diseases such as kidney fibrosis, sepsis, and pulmonary hypertension, providing potential therapeutic targets for these conditions.
