1 miR-4458 suppresses glycolysis and lactate production by directly targeting hexokinase2 in colon cancer cells. Lactic Acid hexokinase 2 Homo sapiens
2 Using bioinformatic databases, we predicted that hexokinase2 (HK2), a rate-limiting enzyme in the glycolytic pathway, was a target of miR-4458, so the effects of miR-4458 on glycolysis and lactate production was assessed in colon cancer cells. Lactic Acid hexokinase 2 Homo sapiens
3 Using bioinformatic databases, we predicted that hexokinase2 (HK2), a rate-limiting enzyme in the glycolytic pathway, was a target of miR-4458, so the effects of miR-4458 on glycolysis and lactate production was assessed in colon cancer cells. Lactic Acid hexokinase 2 Homo sapiens
4 Moreover, knockdown of HK2 by specific RNAi also suppressed proliferation, glycolysis, and lactate production under both normoxic and hypoxic conditions. Lactic Acid hexokinase 2 Homo sapiens
5 In conclusion, our findings suggested that miR-4458 inhibited the progression of colon cancer cells by inhibition of glycolysis and lactate production via directly targeting HK2 mRNA. Lactic Acid hexokinase 2 Homo sapiens
