ErbB2 is overexpressed in 15-20% of breast cancer, which is associated with malignancy and poor prognosis. We previously reported that ErbB2 supports malignant progression of breast cancer by upregulating lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA), an important enzyme in glycolysis. However, whether ErbB2 promotes breast cancer progression through other glycolytic enzymes remains unclear. Hexokinase 1 (HK1) and hexokinase 2 (HK2) are the first rate-limiting enzymes of glycolysis and both of them are increased in breast cancer. Here, we aim to investigate whether ErbB2 upregulates HK1 and HK2 and the role of HK1 and HK2 in the malignant progression of ErbB2-overexpressing breast cancer. In current study, we found that the mRNA level of ErbB2 was positively correlated with that of HK1 and HK2, respectively. Moreover, ErbB2 upregulated the protein levels of HK1 and HK2 in breast cancer cells. We also found that both siHK1 and siHK2 significantly inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion of ErbB2-overexpressing breast cancer cells. Taken together, our findings suggested that ErbB2 promoted the malignant progression of breast cancer cells by upregulating HK1 and HK2, and HK1 and HK2 might serve as promising therapeutic targets for ErbB2-overexpressing breast cancer.
ErbB2 在 15-20%的乳腺癌中过表达,与恶性程度和预后不良相关。我们之前报道过,ErbB2 通过上调糖酵解中重要的酶——乳酸脱氢酶 A(LDHA)来支持乳腺癌的恶性进展。然而,ErbB2 是否通过其他糖酵解酶促进乳腺癌的进展尚不清楚。己糖激酶 1(HK1)和己糖激酶 2(HK2)是糖酵解的第一个限速酶,在乳腺癌中均增加。在这里,我们旨在研究 ErbB2 是否上调 HK1 和 HK2,以及 HK1 和 HK2 在 ErbB2 过表达的乳腺癌恶性进展中的作用。在本研究中,我们发现 ErbB2 的 mRNA 水平分别与 HK1 和 HK2 的 mRNA 水平呈正相关。此外,ErbB2 上调了乳腺癌细胞中 HK1 和 HK2 的蛋白水平。我们还发现,siHK1 和 siHK2 均显著抑制 ErbB2 过表达的乳腺癌细胞的增殖、迁移和侵袭。综上所述,我们的研究结果表明,ErbB2 通过上调 HK1 和 HK2 促进乳腺癌细胞的恶性进展,HK1 和 HK2 可能成为 ErbB2 过表达乳腺癌有前途的治疗靶点。
