This study comprehensively explores the molecular mechanisms of PGK1 in the progression and sorafenib resistance of KIRC. The upregulation of PGK1 is associated with poor prognosis in KIRC patients. Furthermore, PGK1 promotes tumor growth and sorafenib resistance in KIRC through regulating glycolysis and the CXCR4/ERK signaling pathway.
Phosphoglycerate kinase 1 (PGK1) has complicated and multiple functions in cancer occurrence, tumor progression and drug resistance. Sorafenib is the first-line treatment targeted drug for patients with kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC) as a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, but sorafenib resistance is extremely common to retard therapy efficiency. So far, it is unclear whether and how PGK1 is involved in the pathogenesis and sorafenib resistance of KIRC. Herein, the molecular mechanisms of PGK1-mediated KIRC progression and sorafenib resistance have been explored by comprehensively integrative studies using biochemical approaches, mass spectrometry (MS) identification, microarray assay, nude mouse xenograft model and bioinformatics analysis. We have confirmed PGK1 is specifically upregulated in KIRC based on the transcriptome data generated by our own gene chip experiment, proteomics identification and the bioinformatics analysis for five online transcriptome datasets, and PGK1 upregulation in tumor tissues and serum is indicative with poor prognosis of KIRC patients. In the KIRC tissues, a high expression of PGK1 is often accompanied with an increase of glycolysis-related enzymes and CXCR4. PGK1 exhibits pro-tumorigenic properties in vitro and in a xenograft tumor model by accelerating glycolysis and inducing CXCR4-mediated phosphorylation of AKT and ERK. Moreover, PGK1 promotes sorafenib resistance via increasing CXCR4-mediated ERK phosphorylation. In conclusion, PGK1-invovled metabolic reprogramming and activation of CXCR4/ERK signaling pathway contributes to tumor growth and sorafenib resistance of KIRC.
