HK2 promotes malignant progression of esophageal squamous carcinoma by mediating VDAC1 resistance to mitochondrial apoptosis

2025-09-29

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p> <bold>Background:</bold> Esophageal cancer is becoming increasingly common worldwide, and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma is the most predominant type, for which there is no very effective treatment. Hexokinase 2 (HK2) has carcinogenic effects in a variety of tumours, and it has been found that HK2 is highly expressed in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma through bioinformatics me...
