Data are presented as mean ± s.e.m., n ≥ 5; **** P < 0.0001; *** P < 0.001; ** P < 0.01; * P < 0.05. i , Schematic illustration depicting the relationship between loss of GLIS3 function, regulation of PKM2 and cystogenesis. GLIS3 deficiency enhances Pkm gene expression in kidneys with a preferential increase in the Pkm2 isoform. Increased PKM2 phosphorylation at S37 and Y105 promotes dimer formation. PKM2-S37 phosphorylation is facilitated by increased pERK1/2 levels. Together, these events promote glycolysis, cell proliferation and cystogenesis in GLIS3-deficient kidneys. Figure 6i was created using BioRender.com.

Article Snippet: To examine the effect of PKM2 inhibition on cyst formation, PND7 Glis3 -Pax8Cre mice were treated intraperitoneally with the PKM2 inhibitor, compound 3K (S8616; Selleckchem Chemicals) (10 mg/kg) or vehicle control (10% dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), 90% corn oil) every 24 h for 7 days.
