A non‐metabolic function of hexokinase 2 in small cell lung cancer: promotes cancer cell stemness by increasing USP11‐mediated CD133 stability
16 Aug 2022
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Background Maintenance of cancer stem‐like cell (CSC) stemness supported by aberrantly regulated cancer cell metabolism is critical for CSC self‐renewal and tumor progression. As a key glycolytic enzyme, hexokinase 2 (HK2) plays an instrumental role in aerobic glycolysis and tumor progression. However, whether HK2 directly contribute to CSC stemness maintenance in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is largely...
