Under nutrient stress conditions such as fasting, diabetes, or high free‐fatty‐acid availability, PDK4 expression is robustly induced in skeletal muscle, liver, and other tissues – a response that preserves gluconeogenic substrates and promotes fatty acid oxidation. Moreover, transcriptional and epigenetic mechanisms—including glucocorticoid, retinoic acid, and nuclear receptor (PPAR, FXR, ERRγ) signaling as well as histone acetylation—fine‐tune PDK4 gene expression in response to the hormonal and nutrient milieu. These regulatory processes, revealed by studies ranging from in vitro HepG2 and primary muscle cells to clinical observations after bariatric surgery and very low calorie diets, underscore the role of PDK4 as a surrogate marker for metabolic shifts between glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "1", "end_ref": "17"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nIn the context of cancer, PDK4’s modulation of pyruvate oxidation is hijacked to support the reprogrammed metabolism characteristic of tumor cells. Elevated PDK4 levels are frequently associated with enhanced glycolysis (the Warburg effect), increased synthesis of lipids, and the maintenance of stem‐like properties in cancer cells. Several studies demonstrate that oncogenic signals and non‐coding RNAs—including m6A-mediated stabilization, multiple microRNAs (e.g., miR-15b-5p, miR-182, miR-507) and long noncoding RNAs or circular RNAs (e.g., PCAT19, circ-ERBB2)—target PDK4 to regulate its expression and thereby modulate tumor growth, metastasis, and even resistance to cell death (ferroptosis). Furthermore, PDK4 expression has emerged as a promising prognostic biomarker in several cancers, including hepatocellular, colorectal, non–small cell lung, prostate, and triple‐negative breast cancers, highlighting its dual role in metabolic adaptation and tumorigenesis."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "18", "end_ref": "29"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nBeyond its roles in metabolic homeostasis and cancer, aberrant PDK4 expression is implicated in a spectrum of pathologies and offers a novel therapeutic target. In vascular smooth muscle cells, for instance, PDK4 overexpression exacerbates osteogenic differentiation and calcification. In the liver, altered PDK4 levels contribute to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) by affecting insulin signaling and de novo lipogenesis, while in regenerating liver and glioma models, PDK4-mediated metabolic reprogramming supports proliferation and survival. Additionally, studies in placental trophoblasts indicate that downregulation of PDK4 is necessary for the shift from glycolysis to oxidative phosphorylation during syncytialization, and structural investigations have elucidated its dynamic open conformation that underlies high basal activity. Genetic and bioinformatic analyses further suggest connections between PDK4, apoptosis regulation, and even insulin resistance, reinforcing its multifaceted role across normal physiology and disease states."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "30", "end_ref": "46"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "rg", "children": [{"type": "r", "ref": 1, "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "Peter Razeghi, Martin E Young, Jun Ying, et al.
