Pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2), playing a central role in regulating aerobic glycolysis, was considered as promising target for cancer therapy. However, its metastasis is rarely known. Here, we found tight relationship between PKM2 and breast metastasis, demonstrated by the findings that beta-elemene (β-elemene), an approved drug complementary therapy, exerted distinct anti-metastatic activity dependent on PKM2. The results indicated β-elemene inhibited cell migration, invasion vitro well...
