Gene‐dosage effect of Pfkfb3 on monocyte/macrophage biology in atherosclerosis
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "British Journal of Pharmacology"
DOI: 10.1111/bph.15926
Abstract: Macrophage‐rich atherosclerotic arteries are highly active in glycolysis. PFKFB3, a key glycolytic enzyme, has emerged as a potential therapeutic target in atherosclerosis. Small‐molecule inhibitors of PFKFB3, such as 3PO and PFK158, have demonstrated efficacy in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1155/2022/6367437
Abstract: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is significantly correlated with inflammatory bowel disease, which usually manifests as chronic relapsing-remitting colitis. Phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-biophosphatase 3 (PFKFB3) can catalyze to produce fructose-2,6-bisphosphate and function as an oncogene. In this study, we revealed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1158/0008-5472.can-19-3281
Abstract: These findings show that p38γ links KRAS oncogene signaling and the Warburg effect through PFKBF3 and Glut2 to promote pancreatic tumorigenesis, which can be disrupted via inhibition of p38γ and PFKFB3. KRAS is mutated in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1161/atvbaha.124.320665
Abstract: BACKGROUND: Despite being in an oxygen-rich environment, endothelial cells (ECs) use anaerobic glycolysis (Warburg effect) as the primary metabolic pathway for cellular energy needs. PFKFB (6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-biphosphatase)-3 regulates a critical enzymatic checkpoint in glycolysis and has… read more here.
