Background and aims EGFR activation and PKM2 expression are instrumental in tumorigenesis.EGFR activation regulates PKM2 functions in a subcellular compartment-dependent manner and promotes gene transcription and tumor growth.In addition, PKM2 is upregulated in EGFR-induced pathways in glioma malignancies.However, we found that PKM2 could also regulate the activity of the EGF/EGFR signaling pathway in gastric cancer cells.We aimed to define the biological mechanisms for PKM2 in regulating the cell motility and invasion.
