Article Abstract
Background: Glycolysis machinery regulates cancer cell behavior. However, the roles of these glycolysis enzymes in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) progression remain unknown.
Methods: Fructose-bisphosphate aldolase C (ALDOC) expression in OSCC patients and cell lines was detected using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The functions of ALDOC in migration and invasion were determined using gain and loss of function approaches. An orthotopic OSCC animal model was performed to investigate the effects of ALDOC on metastasis and tumorigenesis in vivo.
Results: ALDOC expression is negatively significantly correlated with clinical outcome and cell migration in vitro and in vivo. ALDOC blocks adenosine triphosphate generation and lactate production, and mutation constructs of Arg42 and Lys146 functionally restore ALDOC-inhibited cell migration and invasion.
Conclusion: ALDOC functions as an OSCC prognosis marker clinically, and suppresses migration and invasion by its catalytic domain of Arg42 and Lys146. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Head Neck 38: E1075-E1085, 2016.

Background: The incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma (EA) has significantly increased in developed Western countries. Despite medical advancements, the prognosis remains poor, with a 5-year survival rate of less than 20%. By 2024, the global incidence is expected to reach 141,300 new cases annually, underscoring the urgent need to elucidate the mechanisms underlying EA pathogenesis to develop effective preventive and therapeutic strategies.

Lymph node metastasis is crucial for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) malignancy. However, the molecular drivers and related mechanisms of lymph node metastasis in ESCC cells are unclear. In the present study, we found that the tyrosine kinase complex-focal adhesion kinase (FAK)/Src family kinase (SFK) axis specifically contributes to metabolic reprogramming by inducing the phosphorylation of ATP-citrate synthase (ACLY) Tyr542, Tyr652, and fructose-bisphosphate aldolase A (ALDOA) Tyr174, Tyr302, or Tyr328 sites in both primary and metastatic ESCC cells.

Investigating the physiological responses and resistance mechanisms in plants under drought stress provides critical insights for optimizing irrigation water utilization efficiency and promoting the development of irrigation science. In this study, cotton seedlings were cultivated in a light incubator. Three drought stress levels were applied: mild (M1, 50-55% field moisture), moderate (M2, 45-50%), and severe (M3, 40-45%).

Background: Aldolase B (), functioning as a glycolytic enzyme, exhibits a controversial role in malignancies and demonstrates dual potential as both a tumor suppressor and cancer-promoting enzyme. Nevertheless, it is still uncertain if there is a relationship between levels, prognosis, and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).
Objective: This study aims to investigate the prognostic significance of in ccRCC and its potential association with clinicopathological features and tumor immune microenvironment.
