Small-molecule inhibition of 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase activity suppresses glycolytic flux and tumor growth
Abstract
6-Phosphofructo-1-kinase, a rate-limiting enzyme of glycolysis, is activated in neoplastic cells by fructose-2,6-bisphosphate (Fru-2,6-BP), a product of four 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase isozymes (PFKFB1-4). The inducible PFKFB3 isozyme is constitutively expressed by neoplastic cells and required for the high glycolytic rate and anchorage-independent growth of ras-transformed cells. We report herein the computational identification of a small-molecule inhibitor of PFKFB3, 3-(3-pyridinyl)-1-(4-pyridinyl)-2-propen-1-one (3PO), which suppresses glycolytic flux and is cytostatic to neoplastic cells. 3PO inhibits recombinant PFKFB3 activity, suppresses glucose uptake, and decreases the intracellular concentration of Fru-2,6-BP, lactate, ATP, NAD+, and NADH. 3PO markedly attenuates the proliferation of several human malignant hematopoietic and adenocarcinoma cell lines (IC50, 1.4-24 μmol/L) and is selectively cytostatic to ras-transformed human bronchial epithelial cells relative to normal human bronchial epithelial cells. The PFKFB3 enzyme is an essential molecular target of 3PO because transformed cells are rendered resistant to 3PO by ectopic expression of PFKFB3 and sensitive to 3PO by heterozygotic genomic deletion of PFKFB3. Importantly, i.p. administration of 3PO (0.07 mg/g) to tumor-bearing mice markedly reduces the intracellular concentration of Fru-2,6-BP, glucose uptake, and growth of established tumors in vivo. Taken together, these data support the clinical development of 3PO and other PFKFB3 inhibitors as chemotherapeutic agents. [Mol Cancer Ther 2008;7(1):110–20]

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
