We then analyzed the relationship between Glut5 expression in tumor VECs (V-Glut5) and MVD in cancer tissues (Fig. 5c) and found that although V-Glut5 expression did not correlate with MVD in total samples and in tumors less than 5 cm in diameter, MVD was higher in tumors with high V-Glut5 expression in tumors larger than 5 cm in diameter (Fig. 5d). The gene discussed is SLC2A5; the disease is cancer.
