Gene expression data of PFKFB3 KD in SMMC7721 cell line

Overexpression of 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-biphosphatase 3 (PFKFB3), a key molecule of glucose metabolism in cytoplasm, was found in various tumors. Emerging evidence suggested that PFKFB3 also located in nucleus and shown regulatory functions other than glycolysis. In this study, we found that PFKFB3 expression is associated with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) growth and mainly located in the nucleus of tumor cells. PFKFB3 overexpression was associated with large tumor size, and poor survival of patients with HCC. Knockdown of PFKFB3 inhibited HCC growth, not only by reducing glucose consuming but also damaging DNA repair function leading to G2/M phase arrest and apoptosis. Therefore, we performed a cDNA microarray in PFKFB3 knockdown SMMC7721 cells. Analysis of RNA isolated from SMMC7721-shVector and SMMC7721-shPFKFV3 cell lines.
