SLC2A1 and glioblastoma: In a follow-up in vitro study of U87MG-luc, U87dEGFR and U118MG tumor cells, we observed that high-dose progesterone inhibited expression of Glut1, which facilitated glucose transport into the cytoplasm; glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH; a glycolysis enzyme); ATP levels; and cytoplasmic FoxO1 and Phospho-FoxO1, both of which control glycolytic metabolism through upstream PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling in GBM.
