Abstract
Background: Recent studies proposed GLUT12 to be a major glucose transporter involved in the glycolytic metabolism of cancer cells.
Methods: GLUT12 expression was determined by immunohistochemistry in a selection of cancer
cell lines and a tumour spheroid model.
Results: GLUT12 expression was high in A549 and RH-36; low in HT29; and absent in NB-EB cancer cell lines. GLUT12 expression was located in the necrotic centre of HT29 spheroids, which
is characterised by anaerobic metabolism.
Conclusion: The data supports the involvement of GLUT12 in the glycolytic metabolism of cancer
cells and therefore, its potential as a novel therapeutic target for cancer treatment.
