Negative correlation between serum pyruvate kinase M2 and cognitive function in patients with cerebral small vessel disease. Clin Neurol Neurosurg 2023; 225:107586. [PMID: 36641992 DOI: 10.1016/j.clineuro.2023.107586] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2022] [Revised: 01/03/2023] [Accepted: 01/06/2023] [Indexed: 01/15/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) is one of the main contributing factors to vascular cognitive impairment (VCI), with an increasing incidence rate. However, the genesis of CSVD cognitive impairment remains unknown. Inflammation and metabolic disorders are considered important pathogenesis of CSVD. In addition to acting as the key regulator of aerobic glycolysis, pyruvate kinase muscle isozyme 2 (PKM2) is a proinflammatory mediator transcriptional activator that can promote an inflammatory response. This study explored whether serum PKM2 is associated with cognitive impairment in CSVD patients. METHODS The demographic data, history of risk factors, laboratory data, and cognitive function scale assessment of 219 CSVD patients were analyzed, and the correlation between the CSVD clinical data and neuroimaging parameters with serum PKM2 was further explored. The serum PKM2 level was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using the collected serum samples. Insulin resistance (IR) was assessed with reference to the Homeostasis Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR). HOMA-IR was calculated using the formula HOMA-IR = fasting plasma glucose (FPG, mmol/L) × fasting insulin (FINS, μU/mL)/22.5. A binomial logistic regression model was referred to infer the risk factors for VCI, and the ability of serum PKM2 to diagnose VCI was assessed by using a ROC curve. RESULTS Serum PKM2 level was positively correlated with HOMA-IR (r = 0.206, P = 0.002), negatively correlated with MMSE and MOCA on the cognitive scale in CSVD patients, and higher in CSVD patients with white matter hyperintensities (WMH) (P < 0.001). When compared with patients without cognitive impairment, the serum PKM2 levels were elevated in cases with suspected dementia, mild dementia, mild to moderate dementia, and moderate to severe dementia, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Serum PKM2 levels were correlated with cognitive screening test scores in CSVD. CONCLUSION The present findings indicated that the serum PKM2 level was positively correlated with HOMA-IR, WMH, and enlarged perivascular spaces and negatively correlated with cognitive function in CSVD patients.

Abstract
For nearly 2000 years, Eucommia ulmoides Oliver (EUO) has been utilized in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) throughout China. Flavonoids present in bark and leaves of EUO are responsible for their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antitumor, anti-osteoporosis, hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic, antibacterial, and antiviral properties, but the main bioactive compound has not been established yet. In this study, we isolated and identified quercetin glycoside (QAG) from EUO leaves (EUOL) and preliminarily explored its molecular mechanism in improving insulin resistance (IR). The results showed that QAG increased uptake of glucose as well as glycogen production in the palmitic acid (PA)-induced HepG2 cells in a dose-dependent way. Further, we observed that QAG increases glucose transporters 2 and 4 (GLUT2 and GLUT4) expression and suppresses the phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-1 at serine612, thus promoting the expression of phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) at tyrosine458 and tyrosine199, as well as protein kinase B (Akt) and glycogen synthase kinase (GSK)-3β at serine473 and serine9, respectively. The influence posed by QAG on the improvement of uptake of glucose was significantly inhibited by LY294002, a PI3K inhibitor. In addition, the molecular docking result showed that QAG could bind to insulin receptors. In summary, our data established that QAG improved IR as demonstrated by the increased uptake of glucose and glycogen production through a signaling pathway called IRS-1/PI3K/Akt/GSK-3β.

Abstract
Chemotherapy resistance is the main reason for the failure of cancer treatment. The mechanism of drug resistance is complex and diverse. In recent years, the role of glucose metabolism and mitochondrial function in cancer resistance has gathered considerable interest. The increase in metabolic plasticity of cancer cells' mitochondria and adaptive changes to the mitochondrial function are some of the mechanisms through which cancer cells resist chemotherapy. As a key molecule regulating the mitochondrial function and glucose metabolism, PGC-1α plays an indispensable role in cancer progression. However, the role of PGC-1α in chemotherapy resistance remains controversial. Here, we discuss the role of PGC-1α in glucose metabolism and mitochondrial function and present a comprehensive overview of PGC-1α in chemotherapy resistance.

Abstract
Obesity is a risk factor for the development of asthma and represents a difficult-to-treat disease phenotype. Aerobic glycolysis is emerging as a key feature of asthma, and changes in glucose metabolism are linked to leukocyte activation and adaptation to oxidative stress. Dysregulation of PKM2 (pyruvate kinase M2), the enzyme that catalyzes the last step of glycolysis, contributes to house dust mite (HDM)-induced airway inflammation and remodeling in lean mice. It remains unclear whether glycolytic reprogramming and dysregulation of PKM2 also contribute to obese asthma. The goal of the present study was to elucidate the functional role of PKM2 in a murine model of obese allergic asthma. We evaluated the small molecule activator of PKM2, TEPP46, and assessed the role of PKM2 using conditional ablation of the Pkm2 allele from airway epithelial cells. In obese C57BL/6NJ mice, parameters indicative of glycolytic reprogramming remained unchanged in the absence of stimulation with HDM. Obese mice that were subjected to HDM showed evidence of glycolytic reprogramming, and treatment with TEPP46 diminished airway inflammation, whereas parameters of airway remodeling were unaffected. Epithelial ablation of Pkm2 decreased central airway resistance in both lean and obese allergic mice in addition to decreasing inflammatory cytokines in the lung tissue. Lastly, we highlight a novel role for PKM2 in the regulation of glutathione-dependent protein oxidation in the lung tissue of obese allergic mice via a putative IFN-γ-glutaredoxin1 pathway. Overall, targeting metabolism and protein oxidation may be a novel treatment strategy for obese allergic asthma.

Abstract
Chronic inflammation (CI) is a primary contributing factor involved in multiple diseases like cancer, stroke, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, allergy, asthma, autoimmune diseases, coeliac disease, glomerulonephritis, sepsis, hepatitis, inflammatory bowel disease, reperfusion injury, and transplant rejections. Despite several expansions in our understanding of inflammatory disorders and their mediators, it seems clear that numerous proteins participate in the onset of CI. One crucial protein pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) much studied in cancer is also found to be inextricably woven in the onset of several CI's. It has been found that PKM2 plays a significant role in several disorders using a network of proteins that interact in multiple ways. For instance, PKM2 forms a close association with epidermal growth factor receptors (EGFRs) for uncontrolled growth and proliferation of tumor cells. In neurodegeneration, PKM2 interacts with apurinic/apyrimidinic endodeoxyribonuclease 1 (APE1) to onset Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis. The cross-talk of protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) and PKM2 acts as stepping stones for the commencement of diabetes. Perhaps PKM2 stores the potential to unlock the pathophysiology of several diseases. Here we provide an overview of the notoriously convoluted biology of CI's and PKM2. The cross-talk of PKM2 with several proteins involved in stroke, Alzheimer's, cancer, and other diseases has also been discussed. We believe that considering the importance of PKM2 in inflammation-related diseases, new options for treating various disorders with the development of more selective agents targeting PKM2 may appear.

Abstract
Pyruvate kinase M2 is a critical enzyme that regulates cell metabolism and growth under different physiological conditions. In its metabolic role, pyruvate kinase M2 catalyzes the last glycolytic step which converts phosphoenolpyruvate to pyruvate with the generation of ATP. Beyond this metabolic role in glycolysis, PKM2 regulates gene expression in the nucleus, phosphorylates several essential proteins that regulate major cell signaling pathways, and contribute to the redox homeostasis of cancer cells. The expression of PKM2 has been demonstrated to be significantly elevated in several types of cancer, and the overall inflammatory response. The unusual pattern of PKM2 expression inspired scientists to investigate the unrevealed functions of PKM2 and the therapeutic potential of targeting PKM2 in cancer and other disorders. Therefore, the purpose of this review is to discuss the mechanistic and therapeutic potential of targeting PKM2 with the focus on cancer metabolism, redox homeostasis, inflammation, and metabolic disorders. This review highlights and provides insight into the metabolic and non-metabolic functions of PKM2 and its relevant association with health and disease.

Abstract
As cancer cells undergo metabolic reprogramming in the course of tumorigenesis, targeting energy metabolism represents a promising strategy in cancer therapy. Among various metabolic enzymes examined, pyruvate kinase M2 type (PKM2) has received much attention in light of its multifaceted function in promoting tumor growth and progression. In this study, we reported the development of a novel irreversible inhibitor of PKM2, compound 1, that exhibits a differential tumor-suppressive effect among an array of cancer cell lines. We further used a clickable activity-based protein profiling (ABPP) probe and SILAC coupled with LC-MS/MS to identify the Cys-317 and Cys-326 residues of PKM2 as the covalent binding sites. Equally important, compound 1 at 10 mg/kg was effective in suppressing xenograft tumor growth in nude mice without causing acute toxicity by targeting both metabolic and oncogenic functions. Together, these data suggest its translational potential to foster new strategies for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Aim: To investigate the anti-diabetic activity of amentoflavone (AME) in diabetic mice, and to explore the potential mechanisms. Methods: Diabetic mice induced by high fat diet and streptozotocin were administered with amentoflavone for 8 weeks. Biochemical indexes were tested to evaluate its anti-diabetic effect. Hepatic steatosis, the histopathology change of the pancreas was evaluated. The activity of glucose metabolic enzymes, the expression of Akt and pAkt, and the glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT4) immunoreactivity were detected. Results: AME decreased the level of glucose, total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and glucagon, and increased the levels of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and insulin. Additionally, AME increased the activity of glucokinase (GCK), phosphofructokinase-1 (PFK-1), and pyruvate kinase (PK), and inhibited the activity of glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3), phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK), and glucose-6-phosphatase (G-6-Pase). Mechanistically, AME increased superoxide dismutase (SOD), decreased malondialdehyde (MDA), activation of several key signaling molecules including pAkt (Ser473), and increased the translocation to the sedimenting membranes of GLUT4 in skeletal muscle tissue. Conclusions: AME exerted anti-diabetic effects by regulating glucose and lipid metabolism, perhaps via anti-oxidant effects and activating the PI3K/Akt pathway. Our study provided novel insight into the role and underlying mechanisms of AME in diabetes.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) share the common hallmark of insulin resistance. It is conjectured that receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) play definitive roles in the process. To decipher the signaling overlap behind this phenotypic resemblance, the activity status of RTKs is probed in post-mortem AD and T2D tissues and cell models. Activities of only about one-third changed in a similar fashion, whereas about half of them showed opposite outcomes when exposed to contrasting signals akin to AD and T2D. Interestingly, irrespective of disease type, RTKs with enhanced and compromised activities clustered distinctly, indicating separate levels of regulations. Similar regulatory mechanisms within an activity cluster could be inferred, which have potential to impact future therapeutic developments.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to determine whether resveratrol (Rev) affects the expression, phosphorylation, and nuclear and cytoplasmic distribution of histone deacetylase 4 (HDAC4), which in turn affects gluconeogenesis in hepatocytes under an insulin-resistant state. MATERIALS AND METHODS HepG2 cells were treated with 0.25 mmol/L palmitic acid (PA) to establish an insulin resistance model. The cells were divided into five groups: control, PA, PA + Rev 100 µM, PA + Rev 50 µM, and PA + Rev 20 µM. After treatment for 24 hours, mRNA and protein expression levels of gluconeogenesis pathway-related molecules and HDAC4 were examined. Next, HepG2 cells were transfected with siRNA-HDAC4. The cells were divided into control, PA, PA + Rev 20 µM, PA + Rev 20 µM +siRNA-HDAC4 negative control, and PA + Rev 20 µM +siRNA-HDAC4 knockdown groups to determine the expression of gluconeogenesis pathway proteins. RESULTS Compared with the control group, the gluconeogenesis pathway-related molecules, glucose-6-phosphatase catalytic subunit (G6PC), phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase 1 (PCK1) and forkhead box protein O1 (FOXO1), were increased, and the phosphorylation of FOXO1 decreased after PA treatment. The p-HDAC4 level decreased with the increase in HDAC4 in the nucleus and the decrease in HDAC4 in the cytoplasm in the PA group. Treatment with Rev 20 µM suppressed gluconeogenesis and promoted HDAC4 shuttling into the cytoplasm from the nucleus. However, 100 and Rev 50 µM exerted the opposite effects. Finally, after HDAC4 knockdown, the expression levels of the key gluconeogenesis molecules, G6PC, PCK1, and FOXO1, were increased, and p-FOXO1 was decreased, indicating that gluconeogenesis was enhanced. CONCLUSION A low concentration of Rev inhibited gluconeogenesis under insulin-resistance conditions via translocation of HDAC4 from the nucleus to the cytoplasm.
