Cutting off the fuel supply to calcium pumps in pancreatic cancer cells: role of pyruvate kinase-M2 (PKM2)

BACKGROUND: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has poor survival and treatment options. PDAC cells shift their metabolism towards glycolysis, which fuels the plasma membrane calcium pump (PMCA), thereby preventing Ca(2+)-dependent cell death. The ATP-generating pyruvate kinase-M2 (PKM2) is onco...
