Potassium channels emerge as one of the crucial groups of proteins that shape the biology of cancer cells. Their involvement in processes like cell growth, migration, or electric signaling, seems obvious. However, the relationship between the function of K+ channels, glucose metabolism, and cancer glycome appears much more intriguing. Among the typical hallmarks of cancer, one can mention the switch to aerobic glycolysis as the most favorable mechanism for glucose metabolism and glycome alterations. This review outlines the interconnections between the expression and activity of potassium channels, carbohydrate metabolism, and altered glycosylation in cancer cells, which have not been broadly discussed in the literature hitherto. Moreover, we propose the potential mediators for the described relations (e.g., enzymes, microRNAs) and the novel promising directions (e.g., glycans-orinented drugs) for further research.
钾通道是一类重要的蛋白质,它们能够影响癌细胞的生物学特性。这些通道参与细胞生长、迁移或电信号传递等过程,这一点似乎显而易见。然而,钾通道的功能、葡萄糖代谢和肿瘤糖组学之间的关系更加有趣。在癌症的典型特征中,人们可以提到有氧糖酵解的转变,这是葡萄糖代谢和糖组学改变最有利的机制。本综述概述了钾通道的表达和活性、碳水化合物代谢以及癌细胞中糖基化改变之间的相互关系,这些关系迄今在文献中尚未广泛讨论。此外,我们还提出了描述性关系的潜在介质(如酶、microRNAs)和进一步研究的新的有前途的方向(如糖基导向药物)。
