Biomarker: PGI

Histology type: endometrial carcinoma

Country: China

Region: Shanghai

Study type: Prospective study.

Followed up time :

Subgroup 1 name : EC

Subgroup 1 number: 72

Subgroup 2 name: normal endometrium (NE)

Subgroup 2 number: 32

Conclusion: AMF/PGI is a potential therapeutic target in endometrial carcinoma.

Sample type : serum

Sample method: ELISA

Expression pattern : AMF/PGI

Funtion description: AMF was highly expressed in human EC cell lines and endometrial tissue in EC patients. AMF knockdown reduced the growth, invasion, and migration of the EC cells both in vitro and in vivo. Exogenous PGI stimulation induces the promotion of EC cell migration, invasion, and proliferation, likely through MAPK-ERK1/2 signaling pathway, which suggests that AMF/PGI plays important roles in EC occurrence and progression.

Funtion Uniprot: In the cytoplasm, catalyzes the conversion of glucose-6-phosphate to fructose-6-phosphate, the second step in glycolysis, and the reverse reaction during gluconeogenesis (PubMed:28803808). Besides it's role as a glycolytic enzyme, also acts as a secreted cytokine: acts as an angiogenic factor (AMF) that stimulates endothelial cell motility (PubMed:11437381). Acts as a neurotrophic factor, neuroleukin, for spinal and sensory neurons (PubMed:3352745, PubMed:11004567). It is secreted by lectin-stimulated T-cells and induces immunoglobulin secretion (PubMed:3352745, PubMed:11004567).
