Clinicopathological significance of glucose transporter protein-1 overexpression in human osteosarcoma.

Abstract:

:Although previous studies have demonstrated that Glut-1 is the predominant glucose transporter, is significantly overexpressed in various types of tumor and is correlated with poor prognosis, the potential function and clinical value of Glut-1 expression in osteosarcoma remains largely unclear. In particular, the prospective associations between Glut-1 expression levels and clinicopathological factors remains to be elucidated. In the present study, immunohistochemistry was performed to detect Glut-1 protein expression in 51 paired osteosarcoma specimens and adjacent non-cancerous tissues, and reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis was performed to examine Glut-1 mRNA expression levels in 6 pairs of these tissues. Statistical analyses were conducted to determine the associations between Glut-1 expression and various clinicopathological parameters. Glut-1 protein was revealed to be overexpressed in 38 (74.5%) osteosarcoma tissues, but only in 6 (11.8%) adjacent non-cancerous tissues. Glut-1 mRNA levels were also upregulated in osteosarcoma tissues compared with adjacent non-cancerous tissues. While there were no clear statistical relationships between Glut-1 expression and patient sex, resection, tumor location, size, T stage and adjuvant treatment, Glut-1 expression levels were significantly associated with age, tumor-node-metastasis stage, lymph node metastasis and survival. The median survival time in patients with low Glut-1 expression levels was longer than in patients with a high expression level. Glut-1 was significantly overexpressed in osteosarcoma tissues, and Glut-1 expression was associated with clinicopathological factors which upregulate the invasion and metastasis of osteosarcoma, and may be a potential predictor of survival in patients with osteosarcoma.
