PG - 242-8 AB - Transcript levels of hexokinase (HK) isozymes and glucose transporter (GLUT) isoforms in RNA samples of AH130 cells obtained from dish cultures and ascites were evaluated in a quantitative manner. In AH130 cells cultured in dishes, HKI and HKII were expressed at a similar level, but HKIII and HKIV were not. GLUT1 and GLUT3 were also expressed, and messages of these two isoforms represented 27% and 71%, respectively, of the total GLUT messages. A faint signal of GLUT2 was also observed. On the contrary, in cells grown as ascites, the transcript of HKII was dominant, and its level was about 15-fold over that of dish-cultured AH130 cells. Transcript levels of GLUT1 and GLUT3 were 4.5- and 2-fold, respectively, higher than those in dish-cultured cells. Thus, GLUT1 was more susceptible to changes in culture conditions than GLUT3. Based on these results, we concluded that the change in growth conditions caused synchronized changes in the transcript levels of HKII and GLUT1 in AH130 cells. However, such marked changes in the transcript levels of HKII and GLUT1 were not observed when AH130 cells were cultured in dishes under a hypoxic condition, indicating that the observed changes were not solely attributable to the difference in oxygen concentration between the ascites and cell culture conditions. Accordingly, other factors such as growth factors may be responsible for this difference in levels of HKII and GLUT1 between the two growth conditions.
