phosphoglucose isomerase/breast neoplasms

Phosphoglucose isomerase/autocrine motility factor (PGI/AMF) plays an important role in glycolysis and gluconeogenesis and is associated with invasion and metastasis of cancer cells. We have previously shown its role in the induction of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in breast cancer cells,

Phosphoglucose isomerase/autocrine motility factor (PGI/AMF) is a housekeeping gene product/cytokine that catalyzes a step in glycolysis and gluconeogenesis, and acts as a multifunctional cytokine associated with aggressive tumors. PGI/AMF has been correlated significantly with breast cancer

The diagnostic significance of three polyamines (putrescine, spermidine and spermine), of carcinoembryonic antigen and of phosphoglucose isomerase have been compared in sera of patients with breast cancer or benign breast disease and normal age matched controls. The results of the study indicate

A normal human lymphocyte-derived 54 kDa polypeptide, capable of regulating cell growth has been identified as an isoform variant (abbreviated as NP54) of protein neuroleukin-phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI). Since distinct PGI variants undetectable in normal tissues had been identified in breast

Autocrine motility factor/phosphoglucose isomerase (AMF/PGI) was identified as a binding partner for insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) in solubilized T47D and MCF-7 human breast cancer cell membranes. The interaction between AMF/PGI and IGFBP-3 was verified by cross-linking

Overexpression of the human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER) 2 has been linked to the development and maintenance of malignant phenotypes in breast tumors. In addition, the growth and dissemination of human cancers are regulated in part by the autocrine motility factor (AMF)/phosphoglucose

Phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI) is a multifunctional enzyme that functions in glucose metabolism as a glycolytic enzyme catalyzing an interconversion between glucose and fructose inside the cell, while it acts as cytokine outside the cell, with properties that include autocrine motility factor
