Aerobic glycolysis, known as the Warburg effect, is one of the hallmarks of cancer cells. We recently reported that the hexokinase 2 (HK2)-mediated Warburg effect is required for castration-resistant prostate cancer that is driven by Pten/p53 deficiency, suggesting that HK2 might be a therapeutic target for prostate cancer patients carrying PTEN and p53 mutations.
有氧糖酵解,即著名的瓦伯格效应,是癌细胞的特征之一。我们最近报道,由Pten/p53缺陷驱动的去势抵抗性前列腺癌需要己糖激酶2(HK2)介导的瓦伯格效应,这表明HK2可能是携带PTEN和p53突变的前列腺癌患者的治疗靶点。
