Under the hypoxic condition, translocation of PKM2 and p65 to the nucleus takes place. Upon interaction with PKM2, NF-kB subunit p65 activates the transcription of HIF-1α gene and its target gene, VEGF-A, in the nucleus. As a result, increased secretion of VEGF translates to increased blood vessel formation, contributing to tumor growth (55).
