Glycogen metabolism commonly altered in cancer is just beginning to be understood. Phosphoglucomutase 1 (PGM1), the first enzyme in glycogenesis that catalyzes the reversible conversion between glucose 1-phosphate (G-1-P) and glucose 6-phosphate (G-6-P), participates in both the breakdown and synthesis of glycogen. Here, we show that PGM1 is down-regulated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), which is associated with the malignancy and poor prognosis of HCC. Decreased PGM1 expression obstructed glycogenesis pathway, which leads to the increased flow of glucose into glycolysis, thereby promoting tumor cell proliferation and HCC development. The loss of forkhead box protein J2 (FOXJ2), at least partly due to low genomic copy number in HCC, releases cellular nucleic acid-binding protein (CNBP), a nucleic acid chaperon, to bind to and promote G-quadruplex formation in PGM1 promoter and therefore decreases PGM1 expression. In addition, integrated analyses of PGM1 and FOXJ2 expression provide a better prediction for the malignance and prognosis of HCC. This study establishes a tumor-suppressive role of PGM1 by regulating glucose trafficking and uncovers a novel regulatory mechanism of PGM1 expression. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of primary liver cancer in adults. Sorafenib is the only clinically approved systemic drug for patients with advanced HCC. Identification of novel targets and biomarkers will provide new therapeutic strategies for advanced HCC and better prognostic prediction. Phosphoglucomutase (PGM) is an evolutionarily conserved enzyme that regulates one of the most important pathways in glucose metabolis—catalyzing the bidirectional interconversion of glucose 1-phosphate (G-1-P) and glucose 6-phosphate (G-6-P). In this study, we identify PGM1 as a metabolic tumor suppressor. Its expression allocates more glucose to glycogenesis, which reduces the glycolytic intermediates for biosynthesis, thereby impairing HCC progression. We delineate the mechanism of PGM1 down-regulation in HCC, finding that forkhead box protein J2 (FOXJ2) loss releases cellular nucleic acid-binding protein (CNBP) to bind to and modify the DNA structure of PGM1 promoter, thereby inhibiting PGM1 expression. Immunohistochemical analyses of human HCC tumors indicate that low FOXJ2 and PGM1 expression correlates with the malignancy and poor progression of human HCC. These results also suggest that the activation of residual PGM1 may impair HCC development through switching glycolysis to glycogenesis.
