Aldolase A promotes cervical cancer cell radioresistance by regulating the glycolysis and DNA damage after irradiation.

ABSTRACT: Radioresistance is the major obstacle that affects the efficacy of radiotherapy which is an important treatment for cervical cancer. By analyzing the databases, we found that aldolase A (ALDOA), which is a key enzyme in metabolic reprogramming, has a higher expression in cervical cancer patients and is associated with poor prognosis. We detected the expression of ALDOA in the constructed cervical cancer radioresistance (RR) cells by repetitive irradiation and found that it was upregulated compared to the control cells. Functional assays were conducted and the results showed that the knockdown of ALDOA in cervical cancer RR cells inhibited the proliferation, migration, and clonogenic abilities by regulating the cell glycolysis. In addition, downregulation of ALDOA enhanced radiation-induced
