(AB) Endogenous TKT coimmunoprecipitates with GRP78 in SW480 and HCT116. (C) The regulation of TKT to AKT phosphorylation was dependent on GRP78. (DE) Regulation of TKT to aerobic glycolysis is dependent on GRP78. (F) Relative glucose consumption was determined in HCT116 cells. 12 h: Ctrl vs. TKT-Flag: *; TKT-Flag vs TKT-Flag +NC: n.s; TKT + NC vs TKT + shGRP78-1: **, TKT + NC vs TKT + shGRP78-2: **. 24 h: Ctrl vs. TKT-Flag: **; TKT-Flag vs TKT-Flag +NC: n.s; TKT + NC vs TKT + shGRP78-1: *, TKT + NC vs TKT + shGRP78-2: *. 36 h: Ctrl vs. TKT-Flag: *; TKT-Flag vs TKT-Flag +NC: n.s; TKT + NC vs TKT + shGRP78-1: *, TKT + NC vs TKT + shGRP78-2: *. 48 h: Ctrl vs. TKT-Flag: *; TKT-Flag vs TKT-Flag +NC: n.s; TKT + NC vs TKT + shGRP78-1: **, TKT + NC vs TKT + shGRP78-2: *.
