Fig. 7From: TIGAR cooperated with glycolysis to inhibit the apoptosis of leukemia cells and associated with poor prognosis in patients with cytogenetically normal acute myeloid leukemiaA working model of TIGAR regulating the glycolysis and the proliferation of human leukemia cells. TIGAR played a dual role in human AML cells. It protected the leukemia cells from cell death while inhibited PFKFB3-regulated glycolysis in AML. Thus, TIGAR knockdown or decitabine induced apoptosis of leukemia cells through inhibiting the expression of TIGAR and sensitized leukemia cells to glycolysis inhibition in human AMLBack to article page
