Journal ArticleDOI

Pyruvate Kinase M2: Multiple Faces for Conferring Benefits on Cancer Cells

TL;DR: Induction of PKM2 is induced translocation into the nucleus, where it activates transcription of various genes by interacting with and phosphorylating specific nuclear proteins, endowing cancer cells with a survival and growth advantage.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modulation of Glucose Metabolism by CD44 Contributes to Antioxidant Status and Drug Resistance in Cancer Cells

TL;DR: It is found that CD44, a cell surface marker for cancer stem cells, interacts with pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) and thereby enhances the glycolytic phenotype of cancer cells that are either deficient in p53 or exposed to hypoxia.
Journal ArticleDOI

CD44s regulates the TGF-β-mediated mesenchymal phenotype and is associated with poor prognosis in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma

TL;DR: It is suggested that CD44s plays a critical role in the TGF-β-mediated mesenchymal phenotype and therefore represents a potential therapeutic target for HCC.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hochuekkito (TJ-41), a Kampo Formula, Ameliorates Cachexia Induced by Colon 26 Adenocarcinoma in Mice

TL;DR: It is suggested that hochuekkito inhibits the production of proinflammatory cytokines, particularly IL-6, by host cells such as macrophages, and may be a promising anticachectic agent for the treatment of patients with cancer.
