    Targeting AMPK for Cancer Therapy: Metabolic Reprogramming as a Therapeutic Strategy

    Minseo Hong, Jea-Hyun Baek*

    Oncology Research, Vol.33, No.10, pp. 2699-2724, 2025, DOI:10.32604/or.2025.067487 - 26 September 2025

    Abstract AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a highly conserved serine/threonine kinase that functions as a central regulator of cellular energy status. In cancer, where metabolic reprogramming enables rapid proliferation and survival under stress, AMPK functions as a metabolic checkpoint that restrains tumor growth by inhibiting biosynthetic pathways and promoting catabolic processes, such as autophagy and fatty acid oxidation. Given its role in opposing many hallmarks of cancer metabolism, AMPK has attracted significant interest as a therapeutic target. This review examines the molecular mechanisms by which AMPK influences tumor progression and evaluates the preclinical and clinical evidence… More >

    Apigenin facilitates apoptosis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells via AMP-activated protein kinase-mediated ferroptosis

    CANCAN HE1,2,*, TINGTING ZHANG3, WEI XIONG4, SHENGYU WANG5, XIN SUN6

    Oncology Research, Vol.33, No.2, pp. 421-429, 2025, DOI:10.32604/or.2024.049757 - 16 January 2025

    Abstract Background: The outcomes of pediatric patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) remain far less than favorable. While apigenin is an anti-cancer agent, studies on the mechanism by which it regulates ALL cell cycle progression are inadequate. Ferroptosis and AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling are important processes for ALL patients. However, it remains unclear whether apigenin works by affecting AMPK and apoptosis. Materials and Methods: SUP-B15 and T-cell Jurkat ALL cells were treated with apigenin, and cell viability and apoptosis were measured using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assays, respectively.… More >
