Definitions

• Glycolysis is a metabolic pathway in which sugars are degraded to generate energy (ATP).
• ATP energy
• the rate o f glycolysis is regulated by the enzymes hexokinase.
• phosphofructokinase, and pyruvate kinase These enzymes catalyze irreversible reactions, and each is controlled to meet metabolic needs.
• Phosphofructokinase is the most important control point in glycolysis, and the rate limiting enzyme 6-phosphofructo- l -kinase (PF - 1 ) normally controls the rate of glycolysis.
• PFKFB 6- phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase
• PFKFB3 Unlike normal healthy cells, cancer cells maintain a high glycolic rate for ATP production, even under aerobic conditions. The glycolic rate can be up to 200 times greater in malignant, rapidly-growing tumor cells. This is known as the Warburg effect.
• One of the four PFKFB isozymes, PFKFB3 is responsible for encoding an inducible form of 6- phosphofructose-2-kinase, iPFK-2.
• PFK.FB3 is expressed at high levels in tumor cell lines. Treatment with specific antisense oligonucleotides reverses this high expression of PFKFB3 in tumor cells, shrinking the tumors in vivo.
• PFKFB3 is also essential for Ras-mediated transformation, as shown in vitro by soft agar colony formation and in vivo by
• iPFK-2 which is encoded by PFKFB3. is a potent allosteric activator of PFK- 1 , the rate-limiting enzyme in glycolysis. iPFK-2 thus functions as an activator of anaerobic glycolysis within the hypoxic microenvironmenl of growing tumors. Blocking the activity of iPFK-2 can decrease tumor growth by reducing the extremely high rate of glycosis in cancer cells. Inhibition of i PFK-2 is thus useful for the treatment of a wide variety of cancers.
• Regulation of the rate of glycolysis by inhibiting iPFK-2 can also be useful in the treatment of a range of other disorders, including, but not limited to, metabolic disorders, autoimmune disorders, Alzheimer's disease, muscular dystrophy, and osteoarthritis.
