Abstract
Thus far, some potentially interesting predictive gene profiles (consisting of 4-825 genes) have been described. The studies have focused on predicting survival, the development of lymph node metastases and the occurrence of distant metastases. The overlap of genes between studies was limited, proba...

Abstract
We have assayed not only the expression of GLUT-1, GLUT-3 and TGF-beta1 proteins, but also the uptake of 2-fluoro-[18F]-2-deoxy-D-glucose (18FDG), a tracer for cancer diagnosis. Western blot analysis and whole body autoradiography were used to measure the 18FDG uptake of tumor cells. Elevated 18FDG...

Abstract
These results show that the adrenals regulate basal GLUT3 gene profiles in the DVC alone; during hypoglycemia, these glands suppress (DVC) or increase GLUT3 (LHA and VMH) mRNA, and selectively elevate GLUT4 transcripts in the LHA. The data demonstrate divergent adrenal control of DVC neuronal monoca...

Abstract
We propose that the modulation of glucose uptake by angiotensin IV and LVV-hemorphin 7 is region-specific and is critically dependent on a high degree of colocalisation between IRAP and GLUT4. These findings also confirm a role for IRAP and GLUT4 in activity-dependent glucose uptake in hippocampal n...

The glucose transporters GLUT-1 and GLUT-3 are targets of the hypoxia-inducible transcription factor HIF-1alpha and it has been shown that nucleus pulposus (NP) cells in rat intervertebral discs (IVD) express both HIF-1alpha and GLUT-1. However, there is limited data on the expression of HIF-1alpha...

Here we demonstrated that hypoxia induced an elevated expression level of GLUT-1 and -3 in chondrocytes. Also elevated was hypoxia inducible factor-1alpha (HIF-1alpha) protein level. On the contrary, deletion of HIF-1alpha led to complete loss of the hypoxia-induced gene expression of GLUT-1 and 3....

Chronic hyperglycemia downregulates GLUT(1) and GLUT(3) expression at both mRNA and protein levels in the rat brain, which is not due to the decrease of the density of microvessels.
