Article Title: CELF1 promotes aerobic glycolysis and an aggressive phenotype in ER-positive breast cancer via GLUT1 regulation

doi: 10.3389/fgene.2025.1687066

Figure Lengend Snippet: Mechanism diagram illustrating the involvement of CELF1 in aerobic glycolysis in breast cancer. It is well known that many aggressive tumors develop dysregulated metabolism; the glycolytic pathway was closely correlated to the vitality of tumors. Our transcriptomic analysis results suggest that CELF1 alterations impact the glycolysis process, and GLUT1 is the main molecule among all the volatile metabolites. Therefore, we focused on the genes related to aerobic glycolysis. As shown in , the expression of GLUT1 is substantially decreased in the CELF1-knocked-out group, and so is the expression of key enzymes HK and G6PD in the aerobic glycolysis process . In addition, knockout of CELF1 affects the expression of cyclin D1 and c-Myc , suggesting that the occurrence, invasion, and metastasis processed are changed accordingly in the tumor tissues.
