O-GlcNAcylation Rewires Glycolysis in Bone Formation
2026-08-17
The reference study shows that Wnt3a promotes osteoblastogenesis by increasing O-GlcNAcylation through both rapid Ca2+-PKA-GFAT1 signaling and prolonged Wnt-β-catenin activity. Mechanistically, O-GlcNAc modification of PDK1 stabilizes this glycolytic regulator, linking glucose metabolism to bone formation and fracture repair.
