1 Glucose transporter-1 (Glut-1) and hexokinase II (HKII) proteins are highly expressed in many breast carcinomas, but their status while undergoing DOX or 5FU chemotherapy has not been systematically evaluated. Doxorubicin solute carrier family 2 member 1 Homo sapiens
2 Glucose transporter-1 (Glut-1) and hexokinase II (HKII) proteins are highly expressed in many breast carcinomas, but their status while undergoing DOX or 5FU chemotherapy has not been systematically evaluated. Doxorubicin solute carrier family 2 member 1 Homo sapiens
3 With DOX treatment, the cells showed increased Glut-1 mRNA and decreased HKII mRNA for the duration of active treatment; these levels returned to those seen in the untreated cells once the treatment was stopped for 24 h. However, HKII protein levels remained somewhat low. Doxorubicin solute carrier family 2 member 1 Homo sapiens
4 CONCLUSION: After DOX or 5FU therapy, the relationship between (3)H-FDG uptake and viable cell number can become disjointed, with transient declines in (3)H-FDG uptake in excess of the decline in cell number despite increased Glut-1 mRNA levels. Doxorubicin solute carrier family 2 member 1 Homo sapiens
