Article Abstract
Girdin, an Akt substrate, has been reported to promote tumorigenesis in various tumors. However, the role of Girdin in a spontaneous tumor model has not yet been explored. Here, we studied the role of Girdin in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) using the autochthonous mouse model and found that Girdin led to LUAD progression and chemoresistance by enhancing the Warburg effect. Mechanistically, Girdin interacted with pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2), which played a vital role in aerobic glycolysis. Furthermore, Girdin impaired Platelet Derived Growth Factor Receptor Beta (PDGFRβ) degradation, which in turn, promoted PKM2 tyrosine residue 105 (Y105) phosphorylation and inhibited PKM2 activity, subsequently promoting aerobic glycolysis in cancer cells. Taken together, our study demonstrates that Girdin is a crucial regulator of tumor growth and may be a potential therapeutic target for overcoming the resistance of LUAD cells to chemotherapy.

Background: Osteosarcoma (OS) is a malignant tumor of bone that originates from mesenchymal cells. Although improvements have been made in the survival rate of five years, the outlook for individuals with metastatic or recurrent disease remains unfavorable, highlighting the need for new therapeutic strategies and drug candidates. Quinacrine (QC) is a plant-derived bioactive compound extracted from the bark of the cinchona tree, has shown promising anticancer properties by suppressing the proliferation of cancer cells, inducing autophagy, and overcoming resistance to treatment.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effects of platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) on the biological activities of human mandibular bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MBMSCs).
Design: PDGF-BB (20 ng/mL) was used to treat MBMSCs, and its effects on their proliferation, osteogenic differentiation, and migration were evaluated. Cell proliferation was evaluated using a WST-1 assay.

Girdin is a nonreceptor guanine nucleotide exchange factor but functions as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor for the G protein Gαi. It plays a crucial role in regulating cell migration and adhesion, as well as protecting cells from apoptosis. Previous research has demonstrated that Girdin activates Akt through a pathway involving phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) in HeLa cells.
