Cancer cells depend heavily on glucose as both energy and biosynthesis sources and are found to upregulate glucose transport and switch their main energy supply pathway from oxidative phosphorylation to glycolysis These molecular and metabolic changes also provide targets for cancer treatment Here we report that novel small molecules inhibited basal glucose transport and cell proliferation and induced apoptosis in lung and breast cancer cells without affecting much their normal cell counterparts Cancer cells survived the compound treatment lost their capability to proliferate Mechanistic study indicates that the cancer cell inhibition by the test compounds has a component of apoptosis and the induced apoptosis was p53-independent and caspase 3-dependent similar to those resulted from glucose deprivation Compound treatment also led to cell cycle arrest in G1/S phase The inhibition of cancer cell growth was partially relieved when additional glucose was supplied to cells suggesting that the inhibition was due to at least in part the inhibition of basal glucose transport When used in combination the test compounds demonstrated synergistic effects with anticancer drugs cisplatin or paclitaxel in inhibition of cancer cell growth All these results suggest that these glucose transport inhibitors mimic glucose deprivation and work through inhibiting basal glucose transport These inhibitors have the potential to complement and replace traditional glucose deprivation which cannot be used in animals as new tools to study the effects of glucose transport and metabolism on cancer and normal cells (C) 2010 Elsevier Ireland Ltd All rights reserved
