In the present study, using MRI, we determined the correlation between glutamine uptake and the distribution of glutamine transporters, namely ASCT2 and SLC38A2 (SNAT2), glutaminase (GLS), and CSC markers, such as CD44 and CD166, in a mouse xenograft model of HT29 human colorectal cancer cells. The gene discussed is SLC1A5; the disease is colorectal cancer.
