Overview of Gene Research
PFKM, short for Phosphofructokinase, Muscle, is a key regulatory enzyme in glycolysis. It catalyzes the phosphorylation of fructose-6-phosphate, playing a vital role in energy metabolism pathways. Alterations in PFKM can impact various biological processes and is associated with multiple disease conditions, making it an important gene for functional studies [4,6].
In cancer research, ZEB1 was found to transcriptionally upregulate PFKM, enhancing the Warburg effect and facilitating tumorigenesis and metastasis in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Silencing ZEB1 led to impaired PFKM expression, glycolysis, proliferation, and invasion, which were rescued by exogenous PFKM expression. This indicates the significance of the ZEB1-PFKM axis in HCC carcinogenesis and metastasis [1].
In renal fibrosis, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomal miR-21a-5p alleviates fibrosis by repressing PFKM expression and attenuating glycolysis in tubular epithelial cells [2].
In osteosarcoma, NAT10-mediated ac4C acetylation drives m6A modification involving YTHDC1-LDHA/PFKM, regulating glycolysis and promoting the disease [3].
In doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity, PFKM overexpression inhibits apoptosis, while its silencing promotes apoptosis, with PFKM regulating cell viability and apoptosis through the glycolysis pathway [4].
In sepsis, rTM treatment downregulates PFKM expression in macrophages, protecting mice from sepsis, and HIF-1α regulates PFKM expression through METTL3-mediated m6A modification [5].
In ovarian cancer cells, S-nitrosylation of PFKM at Cys351 by NOS1 stabilizes its tetramer, promoting metabolic reprogramming [7].
In summary, PFKM is crucial for glycolysis and has a far-reaching impact on multiple disease conditions, including cancer, renal fibrosis, osteosarcoma, cardiotoxicity, and sepsis. Gene-knockout or conditional-knockout mouse models (if applicable in these studies) could potentially further clarify its role in these biological processes, providing insights for developing new therapeutic strategies for related diseases.
