Biochem/physiol Actions

PDHK3 or Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Kinase 3 is a member of the PDHK family that phosphorylate and inactivate the Pyruvate Dehydrogenase (PDH). PDH is a mitochondrial multienzyme complex that catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate and is one of the major enzymes responsible for the regulation of homeostasis of carbohydrate fuels in mammals. HIF-1 induces PDHK3 expression leading to inhibition of mitochondrial respiration. Forced expression of PDHK3 in cancer cells results in increased lactic acid accumulation and drugs resistance, whereas knocking down PDHK3 inhibits hypoxia-induced cytoplasmic glycolysis and cell survival.

The switch of cellular metabolism from mitochondrial respiration to glycolysis is the hallmark of cancer cells and associated with tumor malignancy. However, the mechanism of this metabolic switch remains largely unknown. Herein, we reported that hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) induced pyruvate

Recent evidence from this laboratory indicates that at least two isoenzymic forms of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDK1 and PDK2) may be involved in the regulation of enzymatic activity of mammalian pyruvate dehydrogenase complex by phosphorylation (Popov, K.M., Kedishvili, N.Y., Zhao

Articles

Aerobic Glycolysis and the Warburg Effect

We presents an article about the Warburg effect, and how it is the enhanced conversion of glucose to lactate observed in tumor cells, even in the presence of normal levels of oxygen. Otto Heinrich Warburg demonstrated in 1924 that cancer cells show an increased dependence on glycolysis to meet their energy needs, regardless of whether they were well-oxygenated or not.
