Glucose-transporter-type-I-gene amplification correlates with Sialyl-Lewis-X synthesis and proliferation in lung cancer
22 Apr 1997
Abstract excerpt
Increased glucose transport is a common characteristic of most tumors. To examine the role of elevated glucose uptake in lung cancer, we performed PCR amplification of 2 facilitative glucose transporter genes (GLUT1 and GLUT3) and immunohistochemical staining for GLUT1, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), and sialyl Lewis x (sLe(x)) on tumor specimens from 327 patients with lung cancer who underwent...
