Mild Alkalization Acutely Triggers the Warburg Effect by Enhancing Hexokinase Activity via Voltage-Dependent Anion Channel Binding
To fully understand the glycolytic behavior of cancer cells, it is important to recognize how it is linked to pH dynamics. Here, we evaluated the acute effects of mild acidification and alkalization on cancer cell glucose uptake and glycolytic flux and investigated the role of hexokinase (HK). Cancer cells exposed to buffers with graded pH were measured for 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake, ...
متن کاملHexokinase II Detachment from Mitochondria Triggers Apoptosis through the Permeability Transition Pore Independent of Voltage-Dependent Anion Channels
Type II hexokinase is overexpressed in most neoplastic cells, and it mainly localizes on the outer mitochondrial membrane. Hexokinase II dissociation from mitochondria triggers apoptosis. The prevailing model postulates that hexokinase II release from its mitochondrial interactor, the voltage-dependent anion channel, prompts outer mitochondrial membrane permeabilization and the ensuing release ...
متن کاملWarburg revisited: regulation of mitochondrial metabolism by voltage-dependent anion channels in cancer cells.
The bioenergetics of cancer cells is characterized by a high rate of aerobic glycolysis and suppression of mitochondrial metabolism (Warburg phenomenon). Mitochondrial metabolism requires inward and outward flux of hydrophilic metabolites, including ATP, ADP and respiratory substrates, through voltage-dependent anion channels (VDACs) in the mitochondrial outer membrane. Although VDACs were once...
متن کاملA 3D model of the voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC).
Eukaryotic porins are a group of membrane proteins whose best known role is to form an aqueous pore channel in the mitochondrial outer membrane. As opposed to the bacterial porins (a large family of protein whose 3D structure has been determined by X-ray diffraction), the structure of eukaryotic porins (also termed VDACs, voltage-dependent anion-selective channels) is still a matter of debate. ...
متن کاملStructure of the human voltage-dependent anion channel.
The voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC), also known as mitochondrial porin, is the most abundant protein in the mitochondrial outer membrane (MOM). VDAC is the channel known to guide the metabolic flux across the MOM and plays a key role in mitochondrially induced apoptosis. Here, we present the 3D structure of human VDAC1, which was solved conjointly by NMR spectroscopy and x-ray crystallog...
