Introduction

Catalyzes the hydrolysis of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate to fructose 6-phosphate in the presence of divalent cations and probably participates in glycogen synthesis from carbohydrate precursors, such as lactate.

Effects of decrease in Klotho protein expression on insulin signaling and levels of proteins related to brain energy metabolism

Mutations in Klotho have been associated with premature ageing and cognitive dysfunction. Although highly expressed in specific regions of the brain, the actions of Klotho in the central nervous system (CNS) remain largely unknown. Here, we show that animals with a mutated hypomorphic Klotho gene have altered glycaemic regulation, suggesting higher insulin sensitivity. In the CNS, pathways related to insulin intracellular signalling were found to be up-regulated in the hippocampus, with higher activation of protein kinase B and mammalian target of rapamycin and inactivation of the transcription factors forkhead box O (FOXO)-1 and FOXO-3a. In addition, the present study showed that in the hippocampi of wild-type aged mice, where Klotho is naturally downregulated, the levels of some proteins related to energy metabolism and metabolic coupling between neurones and astrocytes, such as monocarboxylate transporter 2 and 4, 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase isoform 3 and lactate dehydrogenase enzymes isoforms A and B were altered. These findings suggest that Klotho plays an essential role in regulating proteins and genes related to metabolic coupling in the brain.

Fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase as a promising target of anticancer treatment

Review

Fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase (FBP) is a regulatory enzyme of gluconeogenesis that also influences in a non-catalytic manner - via protein-protein interactions - cell cycle-dependent events, mitochondria biogenesis and polarization, synaptic plasticity and even cancer progression. FBP reduces glycolytic capacity of cells via blocking HIF-1α transcriptional activity and modulating NF-κB action, and influences oxidative metabolism by binding to c-MYC. Because FBP limits the energy-producing potential of cells and because a reduction of FBP amounts is observed in cancer cells, FBP is considered to be an anti-oncogenic protein. This is supported by the observation that cancer cells overexpress aldolase A (ALDOA), a pro-oncogenic protein that can bind to FBP and potentially block its anti-oncogenic activity. Interestingly, only the muscle isozyme of FBP (FBP2) interacts strongly with ALDOA, whereas the binding of the liver isozyme (FBP1) to ALDOA is more than an order of magnitude weaker. Here, we briefly review the most important evidence supporting the anti-oncogenic function of FBP and discuss what structural properties of the two FBP isozymes allow FBP2, rather than FBP1, to exert more flexible anticancer functions.

DNA methyltransferase 3a-induced hypermethylation of the fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase-2 promoter contributes to gastric carcinogenesis

Article

Author: Li, He ; Huang, Yu ; Lu, Hong

BACKGROUNDAberrant DNA methylation has been implicated in the development of gastric cancer (GC). In our previous study, we demonstrated that fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase-2 (FBP2), an enzyme that suppresses cell glycolysis and growth, is downregulated in GC due to promoter methylation. However, the precise mechanism underlying this process remains unknown. Thus, this study aimed to elucidate the mechanisms involved in FBP2 promoter hypermethylation.METHODS AND RESULTSThe methylation levels in GC and normal adjacent tissues were quantified using methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction. FBP2 promoter was frequently hypermethylated in primary GC tissues compared to adjacent normal tissues. To explore the functional consequences of this hypermethylation, we employed small interfering RNA-mediated knockdown of DNA methyltransferase 3a (DNMT3a) in GC cells. FBP2 expression increased following DNMT3a knockdown, suggesting that reduced methylation of the FBP2 promoter contributed to this upregulation. To further investigate this interaction, chromatin immunoprecipitation assays were conducted. The results confirmed an interaction between DNMT3a and the FBP2 promoter region, providing evidence that DNMT3a-mediated hypermethylation of the FBP2 promoter promotes GC progression.CONCLUSIONSThis study provides evidence that DNMT3a is involved in the hypermethylation of the FBP2 promoter and regulation of GC cell metabolism. Hypermethylation of the FBP2 promoter may be a promising prognostic biomarker in GC.
