The HIF-1α/PKM2 Feedback Loop in Relation to EGFR Mutational Status in Lung Adenocarcinoma

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Gene mutations in tumor cells can lead to several unique metabolic phenotypes, which are crucial for the proliferation of cancer cells. EGFR mutation (EGFR-mt) is the main oncogenic driving mutation in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). HIF-1 α and PKM2 are two key metabolic regulatory proteins that can form a feedback loop and promote cancer growth by promoting glycolysis. Here, the linkage between EGFR...
