糖酵解酶的非代谢途径:内皮细胞功能调控新机制

    Non-metabolic pathways of glycolytic enzymes: a novel mechanism for regulating endothelial cell function

    • 摘要: 糖酵解是内皮细胞(endothelial cell, EC)中葡萄糖的主要代谢途径,能够为EC生命活动提供能量和所需物质,并参与组织器官发育与多种病理进程。近年研究发现,除代谢调控作用外,糖酵解酶具有“兼职蛋白(moonlighting proteins)”的特点,可通过非代谢依赖途径参与维持线粒体膜稳定性、调控细胞周期、调节基因转录和信号转导等过程,成为耦联EC代谢与分子表达调控的重要新机制。本研究综述了糖酵解酶的非代谢功能在生理和病理环境下对EC生物学行为的调控作用和机制,以期进一步揭示EC功能调控机制,寻找相关血管性疾病的潜在治疗新靶点。

       

      Abstract: Glycolysis serves as the primary metabolic pathway for glucose in endothelial cells (ECs), providing energy and essential substances for EC life activities and also participating in tissue and organ development as well as various pathological processes. Recent studies have revealed that glycolytic enzymes possess the characteristics of "moonlighting proteins" beyond their metabolic role, enabling them to contribute to the maintenance of mitochondrial membrane stability, cell cycle regulation, gene transcription and signal transduction through non-metabolically dependent pathways. Therefore, the moonlighting function of glycolytic enzymes has emerged as a significant novel mechanism for co-regulating EC metabolism and molecular expression. In this review, we comprehensively summarize the regulatory effects and mechanisms underlying the non-metabolic functions of glycolytic enzymes on EC’s biological behavior in both physiological and pathological environments, with an aim to further elucidate the regulatory mechanisms governing EC function and identify new potential therapeutic targets for related vascular diseases.
