Recent studies proposed GLUT12 to be a major glucose transporter involved in the glycolytic metabolism of cancer cells.
GLUT12 expression was determined by immunohistochemistry in a selection of cancer cell lines and a tumour spheroid model.
GLUT12 expression was high in A549 and RH-36; low in HT29; and absent in NB-EB cancer cell lines. GLUT12 expression was located in the necrotic centre of HT29 spheroids, which is characterised by anaerobic metabolism.
The data supports the involvement of GLUT12 in the glycolytic metabolism of cancer cells and therefore, its potential as a novel therapeutic target for cancer treatment.
最近的研究表明,GLUT12是参与癌细胞糖酵解代谢的主要葡萄糖转运蛋白。
通过免疫组织化学法在一系列癌细胞系和肿瘤球体模型中测定GLUT12的表达。
GLUT12在A549和RH-36中高表达;在HT29中低表达;在NB-EB癌细胞系中不表达。GLUT12表达位于以无氧代谢为特征的HT29球体的坏死中心。
这些数据支持GLUT12参与癌细胞的糖酵解代谢,因此,其作为癌症治疗新靶点的潜力。
