PKM2 promotes cell migration and inhibits autophagy by mediating PI3K/AKT activation and contributes to the malignant development of gastric cancer

Abstract Pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) is a key kinase of glycolysis and is characteristic of all proliferating cells. The role of PKM2 in gastric cancer (GC) is still ambiguous and yet to be determined. To better understand the role of PKM2 in both the migration and invasion of GC, we measured the expr...
