Adult neural stem cells express glucose transporters GLUT1 and GLUT3 and regulate GLUT3 expression.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the brain, glucose is transported by GLUT1 across the blood-brain barrier and into astrocytes, and by GLUT3 into neurons. In the present study, the expression of GLUT1 and GLUT3 mRNA and protein was determined in adult neural stem cells cultured from the subventricular zone of rats. Both mRNAs and proteins were coexpressed, GLUT1 protein being 5-fold higher than GLUT3. Stress induced by hypoxia and/or hyperglycemia increased the expression of GLUT1 and GLUT3 mRNA and of GLUT3 protein. It is concluded that adult neural stem cells can transport glucose by GLUT1 and GLUT3 and can regulate their glucose transporter densities.

Expression and cellular localization of glucose transporters (GLUT1, GLUT3, GLUT4) during differentiation of myogenic cells isolated from rat foetuses.
Skeletal muscle regeneration is mediated by the proliferation of myoblasts from stem cells located beneath the basal lamina of myofibres, the muscle satellite cells. They are functionally indistinguishable from embryonic myoblasts. The myogenic process includes the fusion of myoblasts into multinucleated myotubes, the biosynthesis of proteins specific for skeletal muscle and proteins that regul...
متن کاملExpression of hypoxia-related glucose transporters GLUT1 and GLUT3 in benign, malignant and non-neoplastic thyroid lesions.
The enhancement of glucose metabolism in neoplastic cells is mediated by the overexpression of key glycolytic enzymes and glucose transporters (GLUTs). In particular, an increased expression of hypoxia-related GLUT1 and GLUT3 has been found in a variety of malignancies. The aim of this study was to examine the expression levels of GLUT1 and GLUT3 ...
متن کاملThe GLUT3 glucose transporter is the predominant isoform in primary cultured neurons: assessment by biosynthetic and photoaffinity labelling.
Cerebellar granule neurons in primary culture express increasing levels of two glucose transporter isoforms, GLUT1 and GLUT3, as they differentiate in vitro. We have determined the relative abundance of GLUT1 and GLUT3 in these neurons by three different labelling methods. (1) Photoaffinity cell surface labelling of neurons with an impermeant bis-mannose photolabel revealed 6-10-fold more GLUT3...
متن کاملExpression patterns for glucose transporters GLUT1 and GLUT3 in the normal rat lens and in models of diabetic cataract.
PURPOSE To determine whether the expression levels and cellular distribution of the facilitative glucose transporters GLUT1 and -3 undergo changes in the hyperglycemic lens. METHODS Hyperglycemia was induced in vivo by injecting rats with streptozotocin or in vitro by culturing lenses in the presence of 50 mM glucose. Northern blot analysis and quantitative RT-PCR were used to detect changes ...
متن کاملExpression of glucose transporters in epithelial ovarian carcinoma: correlation with clinical characteristics and tumor angiogenesis.
We immunohistochemically examined the expression of the glucose transporters (GLUT)1, GLUT3 and GLUT4, in 154 tumor samples of epithelial ovarian carcinoma. In addition, we investigated the correlations between the expression of GLUTs and the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and microvessel count and clinical parameters. The rates of expression of GLUT1, GLUT3 and GLUT4 were 98.7%, 92...
