PDK-1 (Pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase-1) is a 48 kDa protein kinase. It is a member of the mitrochondrial matrix protein kinase family and is related to the histidine protein kinases found in prokaryotes. PDK-1 is responsible for phosphorylation and concomitant inactivation of pyruvate dehydrogenase.

Methylprednisolone affects the glucose metabolism of Gli1+ progenitors. (A) OCR: oxygen consumption rate; (B) ECAR: extracellular acidification rate; (C–F) basal respiration (C), maximal respiration (D), ATP production (E), and spare respiratory capacity (F). (G) Western blot was performed to detect the protein expression levels of Glut1, PDK1, LDHA, HK2, and β-actin in Gli1-positive cells exposed to vehicle and MPS, respectively. Numbers below the strip denote the grey values (mean ± SD) analyzed by ImageJ version2.1.0. Error bar: SD. * p < 0.05, n = 3, Student’s t-test.
