Hypoxia stimulates 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose uptake in breast cancer cells via Hypoxia inducible Factor-1 and AMP-activated protein kinase

Hypoxia can stimulate 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake in cultured cells. A better understanding of the underlying molecular mechanism is required to determine the value of FDG for studying tumour hypoxia. The effect of hypoxia on FDG uptake, and key proteins involved in glucose transport and gly...

Description
Summary:Hypoxia can stimulate 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake in cultured cells. A better understanding of the underlying molecular mechanism is required to determine the value of FDG for studying tumour hypoxia. The effect of hypoxia on FDG uptake, and key proteins involved in glucose transport and glycolysis, was studied in MCF7 and MDA231 breast cancer cell lines. Hypoxia induced a dose- and time-dependent increase in FDG uptake. The FDG increase was transient, suggesting that FDG uptake is only likely to be increased by acute hypoxia (
