Antiangiogenic Activity of 2-Deoxy-D-Glucose
BACKGROUND During tumor angiogenesis, endothelial cells (ECs) are engaged in a number of energy consuming biological processes, such as proliferation, migration, and capillary formation. Since glucose uptake and metabolism are increased to meet this energy need, the effects of the glycolytic inhibitor 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG) on in vitro and in vivo angiogenesis were investigated. METHODOLOGY...
متن کامل2-Deoxy-2-fluoro-d-glucose metabolism in Arabidopsis thaliana
2-Deoxy-2-fluoro-d-glucose (FDG) is glucose analog routinely used in clinical and animal radiotracer studies to trace glucose uptake but it has rarely been used in plants. Previous studies analyzed FDG translocation and distribution pattern in plants and proposed that FDG could be used as a tracer for photoassimilates in plants. Elucidating FDG metabolism in plants is a crucial aspect for estab...
متن کاملA glucose sensor in Candida albicans.
The Hgt4 protein of Candida albicans (orf19.5962) is orthologous to the Snf3 and Rgt2 glucose sensors of Saccharomyces cerevisiae that govern sugar acquisition by regulating the expression of genes encoding hexose transporters. We found that HGT4 is required for glucose induction of the expression of HGT12, HXT10, and HGT7, which encode apparent hexose transporters in C. albicans. An hgt4Delta ...
متن کاملAnticonvulsant and proconvulsant actions of 2-deoxy-D-glucose.
PURPOSE 2-Deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG), a glucose analog that accumulates in cells and interferes with carbohydrate metabolism by inhibiting glycolytic enzymes, has anticonvulsant actions. Recognizing that severe glucose deprivation can induce seizures, we sought to determine whether acute treatment with 2-DG can promote seizure susceptibility by assessing its effects on seizure threshold. For compar...
متن کاملEffects of 2-deoxy-D-glucose on DNA repair and mutagenesis in UV-irradiated yeast.
We have studied the effects of 2-deoxy-D-Glucose (2-DG) on the recovery of potentially lethal damage (PLDR), repair of chromosomal DNA, cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs), reverse mutation and gene-conversion in UVC (254 nm) irradiated yeast. As studied by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, post-irradiation chromosomal DNA repair kinetics in a phosphate buffer (PB) with 10 mM glucose (G) was b...
