Table 2. Tumor promoting and tumor suppressor activity of FBP1/2.

I. Tumors originating in non-gluconeogenic tissues
Alteration in tumor tissue Biological effect
FBP1 Primary tumors
  • Enhanced in different histological breast cancer subtypes [72]

  • Reduced in cholangiocarcinoma [83], gastric cancer [84], pancreatic cancer [73], NSCLC [75] and cervical carcinoma [85]

  • Reduced in basal-like breast cancer but not luminal type breast cancer [71]

  • Low expression associated with poor survival in breast cancer [72], gastric cancer [81], pancreatic cancer [73], NSCLC [75], and cervical carcinoma patients [85]

  • Inversely correlated with tumor grade in pancreatic cancer tissue [74]

    Metastases/tumor initiating cells

  • Reduced in lung cancer stem cells compared to non-stem cell cancer cells [76]

In vitro
  • Overexpression reduces proliferation and invasion in NSCLC cells, particularly under hypoxia [75]

  • Overexpression reduces tumorsphere formation and suppresses proliferation of breast cancer cells in severe hypoxia [71]

  • Overexpression reduces/silencing enhances proliferation in breast cancer [72], cholangiocarcinoma [83], cervical carcinoma [85], pancreatic cancer [73,74] and colon carcinoma cells [86]

  • Overexpression reduces/silencing enhances migration in breast cancer cells [72,87]

  • Overexpression enhances/silencing reduces apoptosis in breast cancer [88] and cholangiocarcinoma cells [83]

  • Restoration of FBP1 in gastric cancer cell lines inhibits proliferation and EMT [81]

    In vivo

  • Overexpression reduces cholangiocarcinoma [83], NSCLC [75] and breast cancer xenograft growth [71]

  • Overexpression reduces tumor growth from lung cancer stem cells [76]

FBP2 Primary tumors
  • Reduced in gastric cancer [82]

  • Low expression associated with poor survival in gastric cancer patients [82]

    Metastases/tumor initiating cells

  • Increased in human breast cancer brain metastases compared to paired samples of primary breast cancer [50]

  • Increased in brain metastatic cancer cells compared to parental breast cancer cells [50]

In vitro
  • FBP1/2 silencing reduces survival and proliferation of metastatic breast cancer cells under glucose deprivation [50]

  • Overexpression reduces proliferation of gastric cancer cells [82]

    In vivo

  • FBP1/2 silencing delays the growth of breast cancer metastases in the brain [50]

  • Overexpression reduces gastric cancer xenograft growth [82]

II. Liver and kidney cancer
Alteration in tumor tissue Biological effect
FBP1
  • Reduced in HCC [61,63,69,7780], and renal cell carcinoma [63,69,89]

  • Low expression associated with poor survival in HCC [7780] and renal cell carcinoma patients [69]

In vitro
  • Overexpression reduces spheroid formation [77], proliferation [78,79,86,90,91], colony formation [78] and EMT [80] in HCC cells

  • Overexpression reduces proliferation and migration in renal cell carcinoma cells [69]

    In vivo

  • Overexpression reduces tumor growth of HCC [7779,90,91] and renal cell carcinoma [69]
