As a significant energy source for living systems, the aberrant cellular glucose uptake is seriously implicated in numerous metabolic diseases. Unfortunately, current shortage of robust tools leaves the limitation to understand its precise biology. Herein we presented a bioorthogonal light-up fluorescent probe consist of two reagents, +, for rapidly responsive (within 25 min), highly specific and sensitive (20-folds enhancement) detection of live-cell glucose uptake based on arylphosphine-induced a-PET effect and Staudinger ligation. Especially, taking the advantage of wash-free characteristic, the probe displayed the real-time dynamic monitoring of cellular glucose uptake. Furthermore, it was successfully capable of not only differentiating cancer cells from normal cells, but also allowing evaluation of anticancer/glycolysis/transport mediated glucose flux. Importantly, it was employed to monitor the fluctuations of glucose uptake in a doxycycline-inducible K-ras expression oncogenic cell system, implying its potential as a valuable tool to explore glucose uptake biology.

Glucose is a major source of energy for the brain. At the blood-brain barrier (BBB), glucose uptake is facilitated by glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1). GLUT1 Deficiency Syndrome (GLUT1DS), a haploinsufficiency affecting SLC2A1, reduces glucose brain uptake.

Background: We still know little about the effective pharmacological treatment of heart failure (HF) associated with the Fontan circulation. One of the new options may be sodium glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), which have been proven effective in classic forms of left ventricular HF.

Objectives: To evaluate the effect and safety of SGLT2i inclusion in adults with Fontan circulation.

Purpose: Radionuclide-labeled fibroblast activation protein inhibitor (FAPI) is an emerging tumor tracer. We sought to assess the uptake and diagnostic performance of F-FAPI-42 PET/CT compared with simultaneous 2-deoxy-2[F]fluoro-D-glucose (F-FDG) PET/CT in primary and metastatic lesions in patients with malignant digestive system neoplasms and to determine the potential clinical benefit.

Procedures: Forty-two patients (men = 30, women = 12, mean age = 56.

The study investigated the effect of casticin on the proliferation of non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) H322 cells and explored its molecular mechanism. Firstly, the cell counting kit-8(CCK-8) assay, colony formation assay, and EdU assay were used to detect the effect of casticin on the proliferation capacity of H322 cells under different concentrations and treatment durations. Then, glucose uptake, lactate production, extracellular pH, and oxygen consumption of H322 cells were measured before and after casticin treatment to analyze its impact on glycolysis in NSCLC H322 cells.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a metabolic liver disorder with severe complications. Mitochondrial dysfunction due to over-opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) in liver cells plays a central role in the development and progression of NAFLD. Restoring mitochondrial function is a promising strategy for NAFLD therapy.
