| Features: Therapy |
| Magnetic Fields can be Static, or pulsed. The most common therapy is a pulsed magnetic field in the uT or mT range. The main pathways affected are: Calcium Signaling: -influence the activity of voltage-gated calcium channels. Oxidative Stress and Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) Pathways Heat Shock Proteins (HSPs) and Cellular Stress Responses Cell Proliferation and Growth Signaling: MAPK/ERK pathway. Gene Expression and Epigenetic Modifications: NF-κB Angiogenesis Pathways: VEGF (improving VEGF for normal cells) PEMF was found to have a 2-fold increase in drug uptake compared to traditional electrochemotherapy in rat melanoma models Pathways: - most reports have ROS production increasing in cancer cells , while decreasing in normal cells. - ROS↑ related: MMP↓(ΔΨm), ER Stress↑, UPR↑, GRP78↑, Ca+2↑, Cyt‑c↑, Caspases↑, DNA damage↑, cl-PARP↑, HSP↓, Prx, - Raises AntiOxidant defense in Normal Cells: ROS↓, NRF2↑, SOD↑, GSH↑, Catalase↑, - lowers Inflammation : NF-kB↓, COX2↓, Pro-Inflammatory Cytokines : NLRP3↓, IL-1β↓, TNF-α↓, IL-6↓, IL-8↓ - inhibit Growth/Metastases : TumMeta↓, TumCG↓, VEGF↓(mostly regulated up in normal cells), - cause Cell cycle arrest : TumCCA↑, - inhibits Migration/Invasion : TumCMig↓, TumCI↓, TNF-α↓, - inhibits glycolysis /Warburg Effect and ATP depletion : HIF-1α↓, PKM2↓, GLUT1↓, LDH↓, HK2↓, PFKs↓, PDKs↓, ECAR↓, OXPHOS↓, GRP78↑, Glucose↓, GlucoseCon↓ - inhibits angiogenesis↓ : VEGF↓, HIF-1α↓, Notch↓, FGF↓, PDGF↓, EGFR↓, Integrins↓, - Others: PI3K↓, AKT↓, STAT↓, Wnt↓, β-catenin↓, ERK↓, JNK, - SREBP (related to cholesterol). - Synergies: chemo-sensitization, chemoProtective, cytoProtective, RadioSensitizer, RadioProtective, Others(review target notes), Neuroprotective, Hepatoprotective, CardioProtective, - Selectivity: Cancer Cells vs Normal Cells |

| HK2 (Hexokinase 2) is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in glycolysis, the process by which cells convert glucose into energy. HK2 is a key regulatory enzyme in the glycolytic pathway, and it is primarily expressed in various tissues, including muscle, brain, and cancer cells. HK2 has been shown to be overexpressed in many types of tumors, including breast, lung, and colon cancer. This overexpression may contribute to the development and progression of cancer by promoting glycolysis and energy production in cancer cells. HK2 is a key regulatory enzyme in the glycolytic pathway. HK2 plays a role in the regulation of glucose metabolism in diabetes. HK2 is involved in the regulation of cell proliferation, apoptosis, and autophagy. HK2 Inhibitors: -2DG -Curcumin -Resveratrol -EGCG -Berberine -Methyl Jasmonate (MJ) -Honokiol |
