In this issue of Cell Metabolism, Traxler et al. report a metabolic switch in neurons that hinges on the critical balance of pyruvate kinase M (PKM) isoform ratios. Using directly induced neurons (iNs) derived from patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD), the work delineates the impact of an AD-specific switch from PKM1 to PKM2 onto neuronal resilience against neurodegeneration.
本期《细胞代谢》中,Traxler 等人报道了神经元代谢的转换,其关键在于丙酮酸激酶 M(PKM)同工型比例的关键平衡。该工作使用源自阿尔茨海默病(AD)患者的直接诱导神经元(iNs),阐明了 AD 特异性从 PKM1 向 PKM2 的转换对神经元抵抗神经退行性变的影响。
