| Research Abstract |
Glycolysis is a system of energy production which plays an important role in many diseases such as cancer and inflammatory diseases. However, how glycolysis is regulated remains unclear. To address this, we explored novel genes that regulate glycolysis using a genome-wide siRNA library, and identified novel 19 genes. Some of these genes regulate cancer cell growth or macrophage function. Therefore, these genes we identified in this study might be therapeutic targets for cancer or inflammatory diseases.
