Abstract
In the recent years, bioenergetics of tumor cells and particularly cell respiration have been attracting great attention because of the involvement of mitochondria in apoptosis and growing evidence of the possibility to diagnose and treat cancer by affecting the system of oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria. In the present work, a comparative study of oxygen consumption in 3T3B-SV40 cells transformed with oncovirus SV40 and parental BALB/3T3 cells was conducted. Such fractions of oxygen consumption as "phosphorylating" respiration coupled to ATP synthesis, "free" respiration not coupled to ATP synthesis, and "reserve" or hidden respiration observed in the presence of protonophore were determined. Maximal respiration was shown to be only slightly decreased in 3T3B-SV40 cells as compared to BALB/3T3. However, in the case of certain fractions of cellular respiration, the changes were significant. "Phosphorylating" respiration was found to be reduced to 54% and "reserve" respiration, on the contrary, increased up to 160% in virus-transformed 3T3B-SV40 cells. The low rate of "phosphorylating" respiration and high "reserve" respiration indicate that under normal incubation conditions the larger part of mitochondrial respiratory chains of the virus-transformed cells is in the resting state (i.e. there is no electron transfer to oxygen). The high "reserve" respiration is suggested to play an important role in preventing apoptosis of 3T3B-SV40 cells.

Abstract
PURPOSE 2-Deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG), a glucose analog that accumulates in cells and interferes with carbohydrate metabolism by inhibiting glycolytic enzymes, has anticonvulsant actions. Recognizing that severe glucose deprivation can induce seizures, we sought to determine whether acute treatment with 2-DG can promote seizure susceptibility by assessing its effects on seizure threshold. For comparison, we studied 3-methyl-glucose (3-MG), which like 2-DG accumulates in cells and reduces glucose uptake, but does not inhibit glycolysis. METHODS Mice were treated with 2-DG or 3-MG and the seizure threshold determined in the 6-Hz test, the mouse electroshock seizure threshold (MEST) test, and the intravenous pentylenetetrazol (i.v. PTZ) or kainic acid (i.v. KA) seizure threshold tests. 2-DG was also tested in fully amygdala-kindled rats. RESULTS 2-DG (125-500 mg/kg, i.p., 30 min before testing) significantly elevated the seizure threshold in the 6-Hz seizure test. 2-DG (250-500 mg/kg) decreased the threshold in the MEST and i.v. PTZ and i.v. KA tests. 3-MG had no effect on seizure threshold in the 6-Hz test but, like 2-DG, decreased seizure threshold in the i.v. PTZ test. 2-DG (250 and 500 mg/kg, i.p., 30 min before testing) had no effect on amygdala-kindled seizures. CONCLUSIONS Although 2-DG protects against seizures in the 6-Hz seizure test, it promotes seizures in some other models. The proconvulsant action may relate to reduced glucose uptake, whereas the anticonvulsant action may require inhibition of glycolysis and shunting of glucose metabolism through the pentose phosphate pathway.

Abstract
Rat L6 myoblasts were recently shown to possess the GLUT 1, 3 and 4 transporters, and not the GLUT 2 isoform [1]. This investigation examined the expression and properties of the GLUT 1 isoform. GLUT 1 transcript level was significantly reduced in cells grown at high densities and during myogenic differentiation. A comparison of the GLUT 1 and 4 transcript levels in myogenesis-competent and impaired cells revealed an inverse relationship between these two isoforms. This relationship was confirmed by studies using two independent spontaneous GLUT 3- GLUT 4- mutants, M1 and M3. These mutants possessed very high level of the GLUT 1 isoform, but negligible amount of the GLUT 3 and 4 isoforms. GLUT 1 expression was also subject to positive regulation. Glucose starvation was found to increase not only the levels of the GLUT 1 transcript and transporter, but also the intrinsic activity of the GLUT 1 transporter. Studies with M1 and M3 mutants revealed that the GLUT 1 transporter was not functional in glucose-grown cells, even though it was present at a very high level in the plasma membrane. This transporter became functional when cells were starved for glucose. The functional GLUT 1 transporter had an apparent Km value of around 0.9 mM, and was sensitive to cytochalasin B, phloretin, phlorizin and pCMBS.

Abstract
The presence of glycogen in astroglia-rich primary cultures derived from the brains of newborn rats depends on the availability of glucose in the culture medium. On glucose deprivation, glycogen vanishes from the astroglial cultures. This decrease of glycogen content is completely prevented if 2-deoxyglucose in a concentration of > 1 mM or 1,5-gluconolactone (20 mM) is present in the culture medium. 2-Deoxyglucose itself or 3-O-methylglucose, a glucose derivative that is not phosphorylated by hexokinase, does not reduce the activity of glycogen phosphorylase purified from bovine brain or in the homogenate of astroglia-rich rat primary cultures. In contrast, deoxyglucose-6-phosphate strongly inhibits the glycogen phosphorylase activities of the preparations. Half-maximal effects were obtained at deoxyglucose-6-phosphate concentrations of 0.75 (phosphorylase a, astroglial culture), 5 (phosphorylase b, astroglial culture), 2 (phosphorylase a, bovine brain), or 9 mM (phosphorylase b, bovine brain). Thus, the block of glycogen degradation in these cells appears to be due to inhibition of glycogen phosphorylase by deoxyglucose-6-phosphate rather than deoxyglucose itself. These results suggest that glucose-6-phosphate, rather than glucose, acts as a physiological negative feedback regulator of the brain isoenzyme of phosphorylase and thus of glycogen degradation in astrocytes.

Abstract
We have expressed GLUT3 protein, an isoform of a facilitative glucose transporter, in Chinese hamster ovary cells by transfection of its cDNA using an expression vector. The expressed GLUT3 protein was detected by Western-blot analysis as a broad band of 45-65 kDa, indicating intensive glycosylation of the protein. The expressed GLUT3 protein was observed, by immunofluorescence staining, to be located mainly at the plasma membrane, and its expression was associated with a marked increase in glucose-transport activity. Kinetic analysis revealed that the Km value of GLUT3 protein for 3-O-methylglucose uptake was approx. 35% of that of GLUT1 protein, whereas the Km value of GLUT3 protein for 2-deoxy-D-glucose uptake was very similar to that of GLUT1 protein. The Vmax. value of GLUT3 protein for 3-O-methylglucose and 2-deoxyglucose uptake was approx. 20-50% of that of GLUT1 protein. GLUT3 protein was well photolabelled with [3H]cytochalasin B or a mannose derivative, 2-N-4-[3H](1-azi-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)benzoyl-1,3-bis-(D-mannos -4-yloxy)-2- propylamine. Thus GLUT3 protein has very similar characteristics to GLUT1 protein including its subcellular localization, but exhibits lower Km and Vmax. values for 3-O-methylglucose uptake.

Abstract
3-O-Methyl-D-glucose (methylglucose) is often used to study blood-brain barrier transport and the distribution spaces of hexoses in brain. A critical requirement of this application is that it not be chemically converted in the tissues. Recent reports of phosphorylation of methylglucose by yeast and heart hexokinase have raised questions about its metabolic stability in brain. Therefore, we have re-examined this question by studying the metabolism of methylglucose by yeast hexokinase and rat brain homogenates in vitro and rat brain, heart, and liver in vivo. Commercial preparations of yeast hexokinase did convert methylglucose to acidic products, but only when the enzyme was present in very large amounts. Methylglucose was not phosphorylated by brain homogenates under conditions that converted 97% of [U-14C]glucose to ionic derivatives. When [14C]methylglucose, labeled in either the methyl or glucose moiety, was administered to rats by an intravenous pulse or a programmed infusion that maintained the arterial concentration constant and total 14C was extracted from the tissues 60 min later, 97-100% of the 14C in brain, greater than 99% of the 14C in plasma, and greater than 90% of that in heart and liver were recovered as unmetabolized [14C]methylglucose. Small amounts of 14C in brain (1-3%), heart (3-6%), and liver (4-7%) were recovered in acidic products. Plasma glucose levels ranging from hypoglycemia to hyperglycemia had little influence on the degree of this conversion. The distribution spaces for methylglucose were found to be 0.52 in brain and heart and 0.75 in liver.

Abstract
Human skin fibroblasts from 'normal' subjects were found to possess at least two hexose transport systems. One system was responsible for the uptake of 2-deoxy-D-glucose (dGlc), D-glucose and D-galactose, whereas the other was responsible primarily for the uptake of 3-O-methyl-D-glucose (MeGlc). The transport of dGlc was the rate-limiting step in the uptake process; over 97% of the internalized dGlc was phosphorylated and the specific activity of hexokinase was several times higher than that for dGlc transport. The dGlc transport system was activated by glucose starvation, and was very sensitive to inhibition by cytochalasin B and energy uncouplers. Fibroblasts isolated from a patient with symptoms of hypoglycaemia were found to differ from their normal counterparts in the dGlc transport system. They exhibited a much higher transport affinity for dGlc, D-glucose and D-galactose, with no change in the respective transport capacity. Transport was not the rate-limiting step in dGlc uptake by these cells. Moreover, the patient's dGlc transport system was no longer sensitive to inhibition by cytochalasin B and energy uncouplers. This suggested that the intrinsic properties of the patient's dGlc transport system were altered. It should be noted that the patient's dGlc transport system could still be activated by glucose starvation. Despite the changes in the dGlc transport system, the MeGlc transport system in the patient's fibroblasts remained unaltered. The observed difference in the properties of the two hexose transport systems in the 'normal' and the patient's fibroblasts strongly suggests that the two transport systems may be coded or regulated by different genes. The present finding provides the first genetic evidence from naturally occurring fibroblasts indicating the presence of two different hexose transport systems.

Abstract
The present investigation reports on the hexose transport properties of human myoblasts isolated from normal subjects and from patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Similar to rat myoblast L6, normal human myoblasts possess a high- (HAHT) and a low- (LAHT) affinity hexose transport system. The non-metabolizable hexose analogue, 2-deoxyglucose, is preferentially taken up by HAHT. The transport of this analogue is the rate-limiting step in the uptake process. This human myoblast HAHT is also similar to that of the rat myoblast in its substrate specificity and in response to the energy uncouplers, cytochalasin B and phloretin. The human myoblast LAHT resembles that of rat myoblast in its insensitivity to energy uncouplers, and in its transport affinity and capacity for 3-O-methyl-D-glucose. Although DMD myoblasts resemble their normal counterpart in their ability to differentiate, they differ significantly in their hexose transport properties. In addition to HAHT and LAHT present in normal human myoblast, DMD myoblasts contain a super-high-affinity hexose transport system (SHAHT). SHAHT can be detected only at very low substrate concentrations. It differs from HAHT not only in its much higher transport affinity, but also in its response to the traditional hexose transport inhibitors. For example, SHAHT can be activated by cytochalasin B and phlorizin, whereas it is more sensitive to inhibition by phloretin. Unlike HAHT, energy uncouplers are found to be ineffective in inhibiting SHAHT. It should be mentioned that SHAHT cannot be detected in myoblasts isolated from patients with other types of myopathy. The present study serves to demonstrate that more than one hexose transport system is operating in human skeletal muscle cells, as found in other cell types.

Abstract
We report the kinetic characteristics for D-galactose, 2-deoxy-D-glucose and 3-O-methyl-D-glucose transport in a galactokinase null-allele mutant of a Chinese hamster V79 cell line. GalKl cells exhibited a Km and Vmax for D-galactose, 2-deoxy-D-glucose, and 3-O-methyl-D-glucose transport of 8.6 +/- 2.6 mM and 26.1 +/- 7.2 nmol/mg p/min, 4.1 +/- 1.2 mM and 40.3 +/- 9.5 nmol/mg p/min, and 7.01 +/- .85 mM and 11.6 +/- 4.8 nmol/mg p/30 s, respectively. Nonsaturable hexose uptake was determined using cytochalasin B inhibition of galactose uptake (89.6 +/- 3.7% of galactose uptake was cytochalasin B inhibitable) and L-glucose uptake (7.5% of the galactose uptake). D-Galactose was not metabolized and effluxed rapidly from preloaded cells. The Kls for the inhibition of D-galactose transport were 4.5 +/- 2.5 mM for D-glucose, 7.0 +/- 2.0 mM for 2-deoxy-D-glucose, 6 mM for 2-deoxy-D-galactose and 6.0 +/- 0.6 mM for 3-O-methyl-D-glucose. This indicates the operation of a single common carrier. The hexose transport rate decreased 50-60% after 24 h serum deprivation. Addition of insulin was shown to increase hexose transport (more than twofold) in serum-deprived cells. Hexose transport rates increased substantially in glucose-deprived, D-fructose- or D-galactose-fed cells as compared to glucose-fed cells. Since GalKl does not metabolize galactose, the hexose transport increases induced by feeding cells galactose suggest that carrier interaction with ligand is not a significant factor in transport regulation in GalKl. The kinetic and regulatory characteristics of D-galactose transport in the GalKl cell line indicate that this system is a good model to study sugar transport from a mechanistic and regulatory point of view.

Abstract
We have recently demonstrated that two hexose-transport systems are present in undifferentiated rat L6 myoblasts: D-glucose and 2-deoxy-D-glucose are preferentially transported by the high-affinity system, whereas 3-O-methyl-D-glucose is transported primarily by the low-affinity system. Mutant D23 is found to be defective only in the high-affinity hexose-transport system. The low-affinity transport system is much more sensitive to inhibition by cytochalasin B (CB). The present study examines the identity, properties and regulation of the CB-binding sites by measuring CB binding to both whole cells and plasma membrane. Scatchard analysis of the binding data revealed the presence of two CB-binding sites, namely CBH and CBL. These two sites differ not only in their affinity for CB, but their levels can also be differentially altered by various biochemical, physiological and genetic manipulations. CBL resembles the high-affinity hexose-transport system in that it is absent in mutant D23 and is present in larger quantities in glucose-starved cells. Moreover, CB binding to this site is inhibited by D-glucose and 2-deoxy-D-glucose, the preferred substrates of the high-affinity hexose-transport system. On the other hand, CBH is found to be unaltered in mutant D23, which also retains the normal low-affinity hexose-transport system. CBH also resembles the low-affinity transport system in that it is not elevated in glucose-starved cells. Furthermore, binding of CB to this site can be inhibited by 3-O-methyl-D-glucose, the preferred substrate of the low-affinity transport system. It should be noted that 2-deoxy-D-glucose does not have much effect on CBH, and vice versa. Studies with purified membrane preparations indicate that both CB-binding sites are present in similar ratios in the plasma membrane and the low-density microsomal fraction. Plasma-membrane studies also reveal that D-glucose 6-phosphate, but not 2-deoxy-D-glucose 6-phosphate, is very effective in activating CB binding. Data presented suggest that CB binding may be regulated by sugar analogues in an allosteric manner.

Abstract
The hexose transport system of undifferentiated L6 rat myoblasts was investigated. 2-Deoxy-D-glucose (2-DOG) and 2-deoxy-2-fluoro-D-glucose (2FG) were used as analogues to investigate the rate-limiting step of hexose uptake into the cell. Virtually all of the 2-DOG or 2FG taken up into the cell was found to be in the phosphorylated form. No significant pool of intracellular free sugar could be detected. This demonstrates that hexose transport, not phosphorylation, is the rate-limiting step. The inhibitory effect of various glucose analogues on 2-DOG and 3-O-methyl-D-glucose (3-OMG) uptake revealed that these two sugars may be taken up into the cell by different carriers. In addition, kinetics analysis of the transport of both sugars also indicates that two hexose transport systems may be present in L6 cells. 2-DOG is transported by high and low affinity transport systems (Km 0.6 mM and 2.9 mM, respectively), whereas 3-OMG is transported by a low affinity system (Km 3.5 mM). Treatment of cells with ionophores or energy uncouplers results in inactivation of the high affinity system, but not the low affinity system.

Abstract
The importance of sulfhydryl groups for hexose transport in undifferentiated L6 rat myoblasts was investigated. N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) and p-chloromercuribenzenesulfonic acid (pCMBS) inhibited 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-DOG) transport in a time and concentration-dependent manner. The inhibition produced by both reagents was virtually complete within 5 min, although neither reagent inhibited transport more than 70-80% regardless of the concentrations or incubation times used. Furthermore, the inhibition of 2-DOG transport by pCMBS or NEM could not be prevented by simultaneous preincubation of cells with 20 mM D-glucose or 20 mM 2-DOG. This suggests that sulfhydryl groups required for transport are separate from the hexose binding and transport site. By comparing the effects of the membrane impermeant pCMBS to those of the membrane permeant NEM, cell surface sulfhydryl groups were shown to be essential for hexose binding and transport. In contrast to the inhibition of 2-DOG transport, pCMBS and NEM had much less of an effect on 3-O-methyl-D-glucose (3-OMG) transport. For example, 1 mM NEM inhibited 2-DOG transport by 66%, whereas 3-OMG transport was inhibited by only 7%. This supports the suggestion that these hexose analogues may be transported by different carriers. Kinetic analysis of transport shows that treatment of cells with 1 mM NEM or 1 pCMBS results in inactivation of the high affinity 2-DOG transport system, whereas the low affinity transport system is unaffected. 3-OMG is preferentially transported by the low affinity system.

Abstract
In the hepatocyte endoplasmic reticulum, a substrate transporter could provide a means of regulating hydrolysis of glucose-6-phosphate by specifically modulating access of the substrate to the hydrolase. Several characteristics of the cerebral microsomal enzyme suggest that such an hypothesis is untenable in the brain. These are: (a) the inability of the enzyme in either untreated or detergent-disrupted brain microsomes to distinguish between glucose-6-phosphate and mannose-6-phosphate; (b) the close agreement of the apparent Km values for either substrate in intact or disrupted microsomal preparations; (c) the constancy of the latency toward both substrates over a wide concentration range; (d) the inability of nonpenetrating, covalently-linking reagents [e.g., 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (DIDS)] to affect the accessibility of the hydrolase to its substrate; (e) the absence of a putative transporter polypeptide, such as that of the liver, in experiments where tritiated H2DIDS, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and radioautography are applied to brain microsomes.

Abstract
A method for the selection and isolation of hexose transport mutants in undifferentiated rat myoblast L6 cells is reported; 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-DOG)-and 2-deoxy-2-fluoro-D-glucose (2FG)-resistant mutants were selected after mutagenization of L6 cells with ethyl methanesulfonate. Of these, D18 and D23 (selected with 0.1 mM 2-DOG) and F72 and F76 (selected with 0.1 mM 2FG) exhibited the lowest hexose transport activity. Uptake of 0.06 mM 2-DOG, 2FG, or 3-O-methyl-D-glucose (3-OMG) by mutants grown in fructose medium supplemented with 0.05 mM 2FG was about four- to five-fold lower than the parental L6 cells. These mutants contain normal levels of ATP and glycolytic enzyme activities. They also exhibit normal transport activities for alpha-aminoisobutyric acid and fructose. Furthermore, hexose transport was observed to be decreased in plasma membrane vesicles prepared from these mutants. Kinetic analysis of 2-DOG and 3-OMG transport in mutant F72 demonstrated that the Vmax for 2-DOG uptake was significantly reduced, whereas the Vmax for 3-OMG transport was not affected. In all cases, the affinity for these hexose analogues was unaffected. In addition mutant F72 was found to be only slightly affected by treatment with various energy inhibitors and sulfhydryl reagents. The results suggest that this mutant is defective in, or has low levels of, a plasma membrane component(s) involved in the high-affinity hexose transport system.

The effect of simian virus 40 transformation on the hexose transport system in mouse embryo fibroblast Swiss 3T3 cells was examined. The concentration of hexose transporters was estimated by measuring D-glucose-inhibitable cytochalasin B binding. The binding of cytochalasin B to the plasma membranes of simian virus 40-transformed mouse 3T3 cells (SV3T3 cells) was significantly greater than that of 3T3 cells. On the other hand, cytochalasin B binding to the microsomal membranes of SV3T3 cells was decreased, and the total amount of binding to plasma and microsomal membranes was not significantly changed in both cell lines. The electrophoretic analysis demonstrated that both hexose-transporter components of Mr 46 000 and Mr 58 000 affinity labeled were responsible for an increase in the hexose transport by viral transformation. These results suggested that the higher hexose-transport activity of transformed cells is caused by a redistribution of transporter from intracellular membranes to plasma membranes.

Abstract
Unidirectional influx of 14C-3OMG (3-O-methyl-D-glucose) and rate of phosphorylation of 14C-2DG (2-deoxy-D-glucose) were determined in primary cultures of astroblasts under conditions with negligible unstirred layers. The influx exhibited rate constants between 7.2 and 8.3 min-1 in the concentration range 2.5-25 mM of unlabeled 3OMG and was considered constant, irrespective of concentration of 3OMG. The rate of phosphorylation of 14C-2DG declined for rising concentrations of 2DG and hence showed saturability. The rate constants ranged from 7.9 to 0.1 min-1 in the concentration range 0.04-25 mM of 2DG. These results are not consistent with the view that the influx limits the rate of phosphorylation. They support the notion that the influx is not rate limiting for the phosphorylation.

Abstract
Mixed membrane vesicle preparations from mouse embryo fibroblasts (Swiss 3T3) exhibited a facilitated diffusion transport system for D-glucose that showed many of the characteristics of the D-glucose transport system of whole cells: stereospecificity, counterflow, Michaelis-Menten kinetics with an apparent Km similar to that of whole cells, and sensitivity to inhibition by cytochalasin B. Comparison of the stereospecific D-glucose transport activities of membrane vesicles from quiescent, serum-stimulated, and SV40 virus-transformed 3T3 cells showed no significant differences in rates of D-glucose uptake or efflux. This is in contrast to whole cells; quiescent 3T3 cells transported 6-deoxy-D-glucose at a significantly lower rate than serum-stimulated or SV40-transformed cells. These results indicate that D-glucose transport in quiescent vs. actively growing cells is regulated by cellular factors that are not retained in membrane vesicle preparations.

Abstract
6-Deoxy-D-glucose and D-xylose, structural homomorphs of D-glucose that lack a 6-hydroxyl group or a 6-hydroxymethyl group, respectively, are transported efficiently by mouse 3T3 cells, with good affinity and high specificity for the D-glucose transport system. Since these analogs lack the 6-hydroxyl group, which is the site of phosphorylation of glucose by hexokinase, they are taken up and are recoverable from cells in an unchanged state. Thus, 6-deoxy-D-glucose and D-xylose offer advantages as transport substrates over 2-deoxy-D-glucose, which is phosphorylated by intercellular hexokinases, and 3-O-methyl-D-glucose, which shows a lower specificity for the D-glucose transport system.

Abstract
Transport rates of the nonphosphorylated D-glucose analogs 6-deoxy-D-glucose and D-xylose were measured in quiescent and serum-stimulated cultures of mouse 3T3 cells, in SV40-transformed 3T3 cells (SV101), and in a density revertant cell line derived from SV101 (FI-SV101). Initial rates of both entry and exit of 6-deoxy-D-glucose and D-xylose were more than threefold higher in serum-stimulated 3T3 and in SV101 cells than they were in quiescent 3T3 cells, but transport rates were not higher in the transformed cells (SV101) than they were in serum-stimulated 3T3. Confluent cultures of FI-SV101 showed lower rates of transport than serum-stimulated FI-SV101, but not as low as quiescent 3T3 cells enter the quiescent G0 state, but emphasize that SV40-transformed 3T3 cells do not show higher activity of the D-glucose carrier than do actively growing 3T3 cells. Thus, enhanced glucose transport appears not to be a specific consequence of transformation, but a reflection of the active growth state of the cell.

Abstract
A temperature-sensitive mouse fibroblast cell line was used to examine the relationship between hexose sugar uptake rates and the control of cell growth. The cell line (ts-H6-15) is a derivative of SV-3T3 cells, exhibiting a transformed phenotype at 32 degrees C and a normal phenotype at 39 degrees C. For cells actively growing at either temperature, a marked decrease in the rate of 3-O-methyl-D-glucose (3-O-MeG) transport is observed as cell population density increases. At cell population densities tested, 3-O-MeG transport rates (at a common assay temperature) were greater in H6-15 cells grown at 32 degrees C than at 39 degrees C, with the enhancement being maximal at the lowest cell densities. The effect of low serum-arrest on H6-15 cells revealed that cells growing at 39 degrees C arrest in G1, while cells at 32 degrees C stop more randomly throughout their cycle. Under conditions of low serum-arrest the rate of 3-O-MeG transport remained as high as in actively growing cells at both 32 degrees C and 39 degrees C. However, 2-deoxyglucose uptake rates were growth state-dependent at 39 degrees C, indicating perhaps metabolic as well as membrane-level control of sugar accumulation. These results further demonstrate that rates of hexose sugar transport by themselves are not always absolutely correlated with rates of cell proliferation and, thus, may be reliable predictors of cell growth potential.

Abstract
The glucose analogues, 3-O-methyl-D-glucose and 2-deoxy-D-glucose, have been used to characterize glucose transport and its regulation by serum and growth factors in monolayer cultures of granulosa cells obtained from bovine ovaries. Uptake of 3-O-methylglucose was shown to be independent of the Na+-gradient, independent of energy, did not show accelerated exchange, and was stereospecific. Serum withdrawal resulted in a biphasic decrease in initial rates of glucose uptake with half-times for the two phases of 50 minutes and 3 hours. Insulin could prevent the decrease in uptake rates with a half-maximum concentration of 10.0 1/8 3 nM. Insulin was shown to stimulate DNA synthesis with a concentration of half-maximum response of 28 nM. Insulin or serum stimulation of 3-O-methylglucose uptakes in serum-starved cells resulted in a two threefold increase in initial rates, with a time for half-maximum stimulation of 3 minutes. The insulin-stimulated increase was insensitive to cycloheximide and cyanide during the first 30 minutes, and this early, rapid stimulation was also produced by brain FGF (fibroblast growth factor), pituitary FGF, epidermal growth factor, calf serum, and some but not all samples of follicular fluid. Insulin also stimulated 2-deoxyglucose and a-aminoisobutyric acid uptake during the first 5 minutes of addition and these early stimulations were shown to be posttranslational changes.

Abstract
Studies were performed to determine whether decreases in transport of calcium and glucose might be among the earliest changes triggered by the antigen-antibody reactions occurring on the cell surface of murine leukemia L5178Y cells after treatment with rabbit antisera. After treatment with antisera, in the absence of complement, these cells exhibited a decreased uptake of 45Ca, 2-deoxy[3H]glucose, and 3-0-methyl[3H]glucose. These changes occurred rapidly, within 2 minutes after the addition of antiserum, in contrast to the previously reported inhibitory effects of antiserum on DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis, which became demonstrable only after 4 to 8 hours. The kinetics of uptake of the radioactive substrates was biphasic, with a very rapid initial uptake followed by less rapid linear uptake. The precise mechanism of cell growth inhibition remains to be elucidated, but one of the initial effects of antiserum treatment may be a perturbation at the cell membrane such that transport of specific nutrients is decreased, resulting in the observed effects on macromolecular synthesis.

Abstract
Transport-competent plasma membrane vesicles isolated from mammalian cells provide a system to investigate mechanisms and regulation of nutrient and ion transport systems. The characteristics of membrane vesicle systems to study transport in erythrocytes, renal and epithelial membranes, Ehrlich ascites cells, and mouse fibroblasts are discussed. Studies of Na+-stimulated and Na+-independent amino acid and glucose transport in these systems are evaluated, with emphasis on experimental verification of concepts stated in the Na+ gradient hypothesis. Nucleoside, phosphate, and calcium transport systems in plasma membrane vesicles from mouse fibroblast cultures are discussed. Also, current biochemical approaches to investigate mechanisms of regulation of nutrient transport systems by hormones or cellular proliferative state are described.

Abstract
The uptake of 14C-labeled D-glucose into the cellular space of human diploid fibroblasts (Flow 2000)--grown to confluency and detached with trypsin-EDTA--was studied using silicone-oil-layerfiltering centrifugation. This method is rapid enough to enable the determination of initial transport rates, which are not complicated by subsequent metabolism of the hexose taken up into the cells. D-Glucose uptake shows saturation kinetics with a Km of 1.8mM and maximal transport capacity of 4--8 nmol/(10(6) cells x min) at 20 degrees C. This saturable transport system is responsible for at least 80% of the total glucose taken up into the cells in the concentration range tested (0.1--10mM D-glucose in incubation medium). The glucose carrier is stereo-specific, is independent of sodium and potassium ions, and is inhibited by cytochalasin B. Its temperature dependence reveals an activation energy of 3 1 kJ/mol (7.5 kcal/mol; Q10 approximately equal to 1.5). As detachment of the cells from the culture flasks is necessary for applying silicone-layer-filtering centrifugation, various detachment procedures were tested. In the enzymatic procedure cells were treated with either trypsin or pronase. In the chelating method, Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions were chelated by EDTA and K+ ions with sodium tetraphenylborate. For mechanical detachment, cells were grown initially on plastic foil. After each of these detachment procedures the transport of D-glucose was the same. It is therefore concluded that this method of rapid measurement of D-glucose uptake in suspended human fibroblasts may serve as an alternative to the uptake measurement with glucose analogues in attached cells when studying the hexose transport system in human diploid fibroblasts.

Abstract
At the present time, growth in agar suspension is one of the best in vitro correlates of tumorigenicity. Growth in agarose, however, has not been evaluated extensively as an in vitro criterion for tumorigenicity. In the present study we have tested 19 cell lines, including six mouse-human hybrids, for growth in agarose and agar in the presence and absence of exogenous hypoxanthine. None of the six nontumorigenic cell lines grew in agar or agarose. Ten of the 13 tumorigenic cell lines grew in both agar and agarose with about equal efficiency. The remaining three tumorigenic cell lines grew well in agarose but poorly or not at all in agar. Hypoxanthine did not stimulate the growth in agar or agarose of any of the cell lines except BHK. We conclude that growth in agarose may be a more sensitive marker for tumorigenicity than growth in agar and that BHK is exceptional in its sensitivity to supplemental purines.

Abstract
Effects of transformation by Rous sarcoma virus on sugar uptake and activity and the subcellular distribution of hexokinase isozymes in chick embryo fibroblasts were examined. Transformation caused a several-fold increase in the maximum velocity for uptake of 2-deoxyglucose without a significant change in Km. Cytochalasin B (CB), was used to differentiate between the effects of transformation on facilitated diffusion and the nonsaturable (CB-insensitive) mode. Transformation was found to stimulate 2-deoxyglucose transport by both mechanisms, but the increase in transport by the CB-insensitive mode was greater. Transformation enhances the activity of hexokinase, the enhancement being confined to the particulate fraction of the enzyme. Heat-inactivation and electrophoretic mobility studies showed that although hexokinase Type I is the major form in both normal and transformed fibroblasts, there is a significant increase in the proportion of the Type II isozyme in the transformed cells.

Abstract
Detailed time courses of uptake of labeled 3-O-methyl-D-glucose and 2-deoxy-D-glycose by untreated and ATP-depleted Novikoff rat hepatoma cells were determined as function of concentration (0.2-10 mM) by a rapid mixing/sampling technique which allows uptake measurements in time intervals as short as 1.5 seconds. Intracellular accumulation of 3-O-methylglucose in untreated and ATP-depleted cells and of deoxyglucose in ATP-depleted cells to equilibrium followed pseudo-first order kinetics and initial velocities were computed from overall time courses of substrate accumulation. Initial velocity was a Michaelis-Menten function of exogenous substrate concentration. The estimated kinetic constants for zero-trans transport of 3-O-methylglucose were about the same for untreated and ATP-depleted cells (Kztm = 1.73 +/- 0.24 mM; Vztmax = 28.8 +/- 3.6 pmoles/microliter cell H2O. sec) and were similar to those for deoxyglucose transport in ATP-depleted cells (Kztm = 0.65 +/- 0.1 mM; Vztmax = 19.6 +/- 1.6 pmoles/microliter cell H2O. sec). Similar kinetic parameters were obtained for the transport of D-glucose and D-galactose in ATP-depleted cells. The transport of 3-O-methylglucose and deoxyglucose were inhibited by each other in a simple competitive manner with apparent Ki's similar to their transport Km's. In untreated cells, in which deoxyglucose was phosphorylated, intracellular steady-state levels of free deoxyglucose accumulated within 10 to 20 seconds of incubation regardless of its concentration in the medium. Thereafter, the rate of deoxyglucose incorporation into total cell material reflected the rate of phosphorylation rather than the transport rate. The rate of deoxyglucose transport exceeded the initial rate of its phosphorylation by 20-40 %. The intracellular steady-state-levels observed during the first 2 minutes of incubation decreased from about 40% of equilibrium level at 0.2 mM deoxyglucose to about 8% at 10 mM. Computer fits of a kinetic equation describing transport and phosphorylation as independent processes operating in tandem to these data are consistent with the observed kinetic constants for hexose transport and hexokinase activity with deoxyglucose as substrate. Upon longer incubation (2-10 minutes) the rate of deoxyglucose uptake by the phosphorylating cells decreased progressively, concomitant with a decrease in intracellular ATP and an increase in intracellular deoxyglucose to equilibrium levels. It is demonstrated that the rate of deoxyglucose uptake, measured at two or more minutes, seriously underestimates the hexose transport rate and yields misleading conclusions regarding the extent and type of inhibition by transport inhibitors, such as persantin or cytochalasin B. Persantin inhibited hexose transport in a simple non-competitive manner (Ki = 20 muM) indicating that the drug affects the function of the hexose carrier.

Abstract
In order to further investigate the connection between transport and growth control, 3T3 cells, SV40 transformed 3T3 cells (SV101), and three revertant cell lines derived from SV101 which have regained certain manifestations of growth control were used. Transport rates of 2-amino-isobutyric acid and 3-O-methyl-D-glucose were measured in sparse, confluent, serum-starved, and serum-stimulated cultures. As shown before, cessation of 3T3 cell growth in G0 under conditions of confluence or serum deprivation was associated with reduced rates of transport for both compounds, whereas the density and serum dependence of growth and transport was largely eliminated in SV101. The density revertant F1SV101, which has regained density regulation of growth similar to 3T3 cells, has also regained density regulation of transport. Neither growth nor transport were serum dependent. The serum revertants AgammaSV7 and LsSV6 have regained both density and serum regulation of growth, but not according to the original mechanism of 3T3 cells of entry into a Go state. Transport was high under conditions of confluence or serum deprivation. Thus for these cells rates of transport were not reduced simply as a consequences of slower cell growth nor were low transport rates responsible for growth arrest. The data are consistent with the possibility that growth arrest specifically in the G0 state could shut off a number of cellular activities, including transport.

Abstract
Transformation of chicken embryo fibroblasts with Rous sarcoma virus results in cells with an enhanced rate of hexose uptake. We have examined transport of the glucose analogs 2-deoxyglucose and 3-O-methylglucose in cells infected with a temperature sensitive variant of the virus. In cells shifted from restrictive to permissive conditions for transformation, increased transport of the non-phosphorylatable analog 3-O-methylglucose occurs at the same time as that of 2-deoxyglucose, a phosphorylatable analog. This enhanced rate of transport can be observed within three hours of the temperature shift. There is a corresponding decrease in the transport rate of both analogs following shift to the restrictive temperature. These results suggest that increased transport is likely to be the primary event in causing transformation-specific changes in sugar metabolism. We have also examined uptake into the internal pools of both the phosphorylated and non-phosphorylated forms of 2-deoxyglucose in normal cells and in cells transformed by the wild-type virus. These data indicate a corresponding increase in the rate of accumulation of the free sugar in transformed cells and point to transport as the rate limiting step in the accumulation of 2-deoxyglucose in both normal and transformed chicken embryo cells.

Abstract
Much of the literature on the uptake of glucose by untransformed and transformed animal cells is based on experiments carried out with 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-DOG). Results obtained with this analog can be ambiguous, since 2-DOG can be phosphorylated by hexokinases of animal cells. An intracellular trapping mechanism is thus provided. Therefore, the total flux of 2-DOG into the cell is a resultant of both transport and hexokinase action, and the measurement of total 2-DOG incorporation is a valid measurement of transport only if 2-DOG is phosphorylated as rapidly as it enters the cell. Evidence is presented here that this is not necessarily the case, significant levels of free intracellular 2-DOG approaching external concentrations were found in untransformed and transformed mouse 3T3 cells even at early times during uptake. Differences in total intracellular 2-DOG between untransformed and transformed cells were accounted for entirely by 2-deoxyglucose phosphate. Thus, it appears the apparent increase of 2-DOG uptake accompanying transformation in these cell lines is not due to an effect on the transport process, but on enhanced phosphorylation, which is a reflection of an alteration in the regulation of glycolysis. The ambiguity introduced by phosphorylation can be oviated by the use of an analog that cannot be phosphorylated, such as 3-O-methyl-D-glucose. The rate of transport and efflux of this sugar was not found to be different in untransformed versus transformed 3T3 cells. Moreover, deficiencies of this analog as a substrate for the glucose transport system are pointed out.

Abstract
We can distinguish two classes of membrane transport changes in cultured cells: (a) growth-rate contingent changes are those which occur in coordination with the onset of density-dependent inhibition of growth; (b) transformation-specific changes are those which occur when cells become transformed, and which can be detected even when normal and transformed cells are growing at the same rate. Growth-rate contingent changes include the density-dependent changes in phosphate, nucleoside, glucose, amino acid, and potassium transport. Only one transformation-specific transport change has been found in Rous-transformed chicken embryo fibroblasts: an increased rate of hexose transport. The variation in potassium transport are associated with variations in the number of ouabain binding sites in the membrane. The molecular basis for changes in the rate of hexose transport is unknown, although gross changes in membrane bilayer composition and "fluidity" seem not to be involved. In analyzing the regulation of hexose transport activity, we find that decreased cAMP may play a role in the transformation-specific increase in hexose transport, but that fibrinolytic activity is not necessary.

Abstract
Membrane vesicles isolated from untransformed Balb/c and Swiss mouse fibroblasts and their SV 40-transformed derivatives were shown to catalyze carrier-mediated, intravesicular uptake of alpha-aminoisobutyric acid and D-glucose. Concentrative uptake of alpha-aminoisobutyric acid required the presence of a Na+-gradient (external greater than internal) and could occur independently of endogenous (Na+ + K+)ATPase activity. A K+ diffusion gradient (internal greater than external) in the presence of valinomycin, or the addition of the Na+ salt of a highly permeant anion, conditions expected to create an interior-negative membrane potential stimulated Na+-gradient-dependent uptake, suggesting this process is electrogenic. D-Glucose uptake was nonconcentrative and did not require ion gradients or metabolic conversion. Na+ gradient-dependent transport of alpha-aminoisobutyric acid was reduced both in initial rate and extent of uptake in vesicles from confluent untransformed cells and increased in those from SV 40-transformed cells, compared with activities observed in vesicles from proliferating untransformed cells. No changes in D-glucose carrier activity were observed when assayed at low glucose concentrations.

Abstract
To study the molecular basis of changes in sugar uptake rate in cultured mouse fibroblasts with different physiological states, we have measured the high affinity binding of [3H] cytochalsin B, a potent sugar transport inhibitor, to actively growing and contact inhibited Balb/3T3 cells as well as to 3T12 and SV3T3 cells. Binding was the same whether the cells were detached from dishes with EDTA or trypsin. The amount of drug bound to intact cells measured with a centrifugation assay was essentially the same as that bound to cell sonicates measured with equilibrium dialysis. Cytochalasin B binding to intact cells was extremely rapid and reversible over a wide range of drug concentrations, and was not affected by 0.1 M D--glucose in the assay medium. Actively growing and contact inhibited 3T3 cells had a similar number of high affinity cytochalasin B binding sites per cell, while 3T12 and SV3T3 cells had one third to one fourth the number of sites per cell. However, the number of sites per mug cellular protein appeared to be similar for cells in all of the physiological states examined.

Abstract
Neoplastic cells exhibit numerous membrane anomalies. Those involving the plasma membrane have attracted the greatest attention, although ample evidence indicates that the membranes of mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum and lysosomes are also profoundly implicated. The information on these topics is briefly reviewed and it is concluded that of the multiple membrane anomalies observed, those responsible for high aerobic lactate production, abnormal plasma membrane transport and release of hydrolytic enzymes may figure prominently in malignant behaviour, i.e. invasiveness and metastasis. It is proposed that the membrane polymorphism of neoplastic cells can be explained in terms of the Changeux membrane lattice hypothesis. In particular it is suggested that the concerted behaviour of tumor cell membranes might deviate from normal due to one or more of the following processes: (a) insertion of a new protein (or lipid); (b) alteration of existing proteins (or lipids); (c) change in the proportion of phospholipid; (d) change in the proportion of glycolipid; (e) change in the proportion of cholesterol; (f) change in the steady-state of membrane ligands. The validity of this proposal is evaluated in terms of recent advances in membrane molecular biology.
