Background: It has been known that facilitative glucose transporter(GLUT) is the main carrier which intervenes the glucose uptake of cell,and there is a significant correlation between GLUT1 and cancer.The expression of GLUT1 in lung cancer has close relationship with the uptake of 18fluoro-2-deoxyglucose(FDG) of lung cancer,and the expression of GLUT1 is regulated by hypoxia inducible factor-1(HIF-1).The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship among expression of GLUT1,HIF-1α and the uptake of FDG in non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).
Methods: Eighty-four patients with NSCLC were evaluated with FDG PET/CT before operation.The expression of GLUT1 and HIF-1α was detected immunohistochemically in lung cancer,and their expression level was assessed by the intensity of immunohistochemical staining.Correlation analysis was carried out among the expression level of GLUT1,HIF-1α and the value of standard uptake value(SUV) obtained from preoperative FDG PET/CT examination.
Results: The range of average SUV(SUVave) of the eighty-four patients was 3.6-13.2,and the average value was 7.8±3.0.There was no significant correlation between the SUVave and the maximum diameter of the tumors,the TNM stage,pathological classification and the degree of differentiation.The positive rate of GLUT1 in the eighty-four patients was 95.2%(80/84).The average intensity of immunohistochemical staining was 4.4±1.3.The positive rate of HIF-1α in the eighty-four patients was 96.4%(81/84).The average intensity of immunohistochemical staining was 4.4±1.4.A highly significant positive correlation was found between GLUT1 expression and the SUVave(r=0.78,P < 0.01),and also between HIF-1α expression and the SUVave(r=0.73,P < 0.01).There was also a highly significant positive correlation between GLUT1 expression and HIF-1α expression(r=0.93,P < 0.01).
Conclusions: GLUT1 protein and HIF-1α expressions are general in NSCLC tissues.GLUT1 may paly an important role in the glucose and FDG uptake of lung cancer cell,and HIF-1α might be one of the most important regulative factors of GLUT1 expression,which up-regulates the expression of GLUT1.

Cutaneous (CLE) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are autoimmune diseases with a multifactorial pathogenesis. Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is the most important trigger of CLE; however, the degree of photosensitivity varies between the clinical subtypes. The expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs)-important enzymes involved in skin turnover and homeostasis-is modulated by UVR.

Purpose: Precise tumor excision is important but challenging in breast-conserving surgery (BCS). Tumor-specific fluorescence imaging may be used for intraoperative tumor detection and, therefore, to guide precise tumor excision. The aims of this study are to develop a glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1)-targeted near-infrared fluorescence tracer and evaluate its accuracy for breast cancer detection using fresh surgical breast specimens.

Background: Glucose deprivation inhibits T-cell metabolism and function. Glucose levels are low in the tumor microenvironment of solid tumors and insufficient glucose uptake limits the antitumor response of T cells. Furthermore, glucose restriction can contribute to the failure of chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy for solid tumors.

Background: Cervical cancer is a major health burden in females worldwide, available studies indicated that sex-determining region Y-box 2 (SOX2) is closely related to the malignant phenotypes of multiple cancers including cervical cancer. However, the underlying mechanisms were blurred.
Experimental Procedures: A bioinformatics analysis was conducted to investigate the clinical correlation between SOX2 and cervical cancer.

Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma is one of the highly fatal cancers and poses a serious threat to human health. Ferroptosis has been widely studied and proved to have an important role in tumor suppression, providing new avenues for cancer therapy; glutathione peroxidase 4(GPX4) and selenoprotein thioredoxin reductase(TXNRD1) are important regulatory targets in ferroptosis.Warburg effect is one of the important energy sources for cancer hypermetabolism, and pyruvate kinase isoenzyme 2 (PKM2) is a key metabolism enzyme that is important in this effect.
