Overview of Gene Research
Pkm, which codes for pyruvate kinase muscle isoforms, is a crucial gene in the glycolytic pathway. Its alternative splicing gives rise to PKM1 and PKM2 isoforms. PKM plays a key role in the last step of aerobic glycolysis, converting phosphoenolpyruvate to pyruvate, and is thus important for energy metabolism in cells [3,4].

In hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) that switch PKM splicing from the cancer-associated PKM2 to the PKM1 isoform inhibited tumor growth in both orthotopic HCC xenograft and genetic HCC mouse models. This PKM isoform switch increased pyruvate-kinase activity and altered glucose metabolism [1]. In a genetic HCC mouse model, a surrogate mouse-specific ASO induced Pkm splice switching and inhibited tumorigenesis without observable toxicity [1]. In colorectal cancer, the lncRNA LINC01852 inhibits SRSF5-mediated alternative splicing of PKM, decreasing the production of PKM2, which attenuates chemoresistance by inhibiting PKM2-mediated glycolysis [2].

In conclusion, Pkm is essential for glycolysis and energy metabolism. Through studies using mouse models, Pkm has been shown to play a significant role in cancer, particularly in hepatocellular and colorectal cancers. These findings suggest that targeting Pkm and its splicing mechanisms could be potential therapeutic strategies for these diseases.
