Biological correlation between glucose transporters, Ki-67 and 2-deoxy-2-[18F]-fluoro-D-glucose uptake in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and natural killer/T-cell lymphoma

Y. M. Liu, Zhai, X. M., Wu, Y. W., Liu, Y. M., Zhai, X. M., and Wu, Y. W., Biological correlation between glucose transporters, Ki-67 and 2-deoxy-2-[18F]-fluoro-D-glucose uptake in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and natural killer/T-cell lymphoma, vol. 15, p. -, 2016.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between cellular 2-deoxy-2-[18F]-fluoro-D-glucose (18F-FDG) uptake and the expression of several subtypes of glucose transporters (GLUT) and Ki-67 in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and natural killer (NK)/T-cell lymphoma (NKTCL). Cell lines were histologically determined to be DLBCL (Raji cells) and NKTCL (Daudi cells), and uptake after pretreatment with 18F-FDG was determined.

Cloning and functional analysis of goat SWEET1

SWEETs are a recently discovered class of sugar transporters that mediate glucose uptake in the intestine and mammary glands. Our objectives were to clone goat SWEET1 and conduct a functional analysis of its effect on glucose efflux in goat mammary gland epithelial cells. We cloned and sequenced the goat SWEET1 gene from goat mammary glands, then conducted an analysis of the structure of goat SWEET1, including a prediction of the transmembrane helices and potential N-glycosylation sites.
