Alpha-enolase regulates the malignant phenotype of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells via the AMPK-Akt pathway
Metabolic reprogramming of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) plays an important role in the pathogenesis of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Here, Dai et al. show that the glycolytic enzyme alpha-enolase contributes to this reprogramming, and that its inhibition limits SMC proliferation and disease p...
