TL;DR

FGD5 is identified as a metabolic vulnerability that increases PDAC sensitivity to the glycolysis inhibitor 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG) and a mechanistic framework supporting combinatorial strategies that couple glycolysis inhibition with perturbation of FGD5–PGK1-associated proteostasis is provided.

PGM3 inhibition rewires RUVBL2-dependent DNA repair and induces a BRCAness-like state in pancreatic cancer cells

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) exhibits profound metabolic rewiring and strong resistance to DNA-damaging therapies, yet how metabolic pathways regulate genome maintenance remains poorly understood. The hexosamine biosynthetic pathway (HBP) integrates nutrient availability with protein glycosylation through pr...

Glycolytic Reprogramming Mediated by the OTUD4-FXR1-HIF1A Axis Drives Gastric Cancer Progression

Findings uncover an OTUD4-FXR1-HIF1A signaling axis that promotes glycolysis, which in turn functionally drives gastric cancer progression, and thereby provides a potential prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target.

Epitranscriptomic stabilization of PGRMC1 by the METTL3-IGF2BP1 axis promotes ovarian cancer progression.

Ovarian cancer (OV) remains one of the most lethal gynecological malignancies, with limited effective early detection strategies and therapeutic options. Despite advances in platinum-based chemotherapy and targeted therapies, including PARP inhibitors and immune checkpoint inhibitors, treatment failure and recurrence r...

The KAT2/HDACⅡa-PGK-ALDO axis constitutes a dual degradation inhibition cascade links energy stress to glycolytic amplification.

A metazoan-conserved dual degradation inhibition cascade whereby energy stress coordinates acetylation-phosphorylation crosstalk that simultaneously enhances glycolytic output and suppresses two protein degradation systems is reported.

WDR12 Promotes Glucose Metabolism via PFKFB4 Upregulation in Gastric Cancer

ABSTRACT Metabolic reprogramming is a hallmark of gastric cancer (GC); however, the role of transcriptional regulators in modulating glycolysis remains incompletely understood. By integrating proteomic, transcriptomic, and CRISPR‐based functional screening datasets, we identified WDR12, a WD40‐family protein that is up...
