The expression and regulation of glucose transporters in tumor cells

Abstract: Glucose transporter proteins are involved in many physiological and biochemical processes. In particular, the high expressions of sodium-glucose cotransporter and glucose transporter proteins in tumor cells show that these two transporters play a key role in tumor cell metabolism. Studying the crystal structure and conformation of human glucose transporter proteins has enabled the development of drugs based on specific binding sites, opening up a new path towards more effective cancer treatments.

“…Lung cancer cells have been found to overexpress SGLT1; 151 however, in another study, SGLT1 and SGLT2 expression was unchanged in lung cancer cells compared to healthy controls. 152 Investigations of early-stage lung adenocarcinoma, a subtype of NSCLC, indicated, that SGLT2 may be used as diagnostic marker and therapeutic target for this form of lung cancer.…”

“…Uno de los rasgos distintivos del desarrollo de las células cancerosas es el aumento de la dependencia de la glucosa como combustible de la glucólisis aeróbica para la producción de metabolitos celulares necesarios para la generación de nueva biomasa y para facilitar la señalización de nutrientes (Cignarelli et al, 2018;Zhao, Wang, Yang, & Gaole, 2016). Otto Warburg a finales del siglo XX, demostró la existencia de glucólisis como la principal vía de producción de energía de las células tumorales (Duarte et al, 2016).…”

“…Además, se ha demostrado que la dependencia de la glucólisis para la producción de energía es cada vez más marcada según el grado de anaplasia de las células (Duarte et al, 2016). La importancia de esta regulación de las vías metabólicas es que, facilita la incorporación de nutrientes esenciales para la proliferación celular en la biomasa (Zhao et al, 2016).…”
