SLC2A4 and cancer: Our IPA analysis revealed that hypoxia-induced factors (EPAS1, HIF1A) and TGFB-associated genes (SKIL, TGIF1, SMAD4) as well as genes involved in stemness and tumorigenesis (MYB, FOXL2, FOXO1, NOTCH3) were all upregulated, which supported the hypothesis that GLUT4 may be an abnormal responder to environmental carcinogens and result in carcinogenesis, cancer progression, and metabolic shifts.
