Regulation of glucose uptake by an astroglial cell secreted factor(s) was studied in primary cultures of brain microvessel endothelial cells (BMECs). Uptake of a non-metabolizable glucose analog, 3-O-[3H]methyl-D-glucose ([3H]3MG), was measured after the BMECs were treated with media conditioned by primary cultures of rat astrocytes (Astrocyte Conditioned Media: ACM) or rat C6 glioma cells (Glioma Cell Conditioned Media: GCM). Uptake of [3H]3MG was significantly increased by ACM (30-50%) and GCM (60-200%) treatments, whereas conditioned medium from 3T3 fibroblasts (3T3) caused no significant effect. The elevation in [3H]3MG uptake increased with increasing time of exposure of BMECs to these conditioned media (CM), and the effect was shown to be reversible. Glucose depletion of CM was shown not to be a factor. The presence of cycloheximide, a protein synthesis inhibitor, during treatment of the BMECs with ACM and GCM blocked the increase in [3H]3MG uptake by the cells. These results suggested that ACM or GCM treatment elevated de novo synthesis of brain-type glucose transporter (GLUT1). Indeed, enhanced GLUT1 expression by these treatments in BMECs was demonstrated directly by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using antibodies against human GLUT1. After trypsinization of ACM and GCM, both conditioned media still induced significant stimulation of [3H]3MG uptake by BMECs. A significant increase in [3H]3MG uptake was also observed when ACM or GCM was exposed to BMECs through a dialysis membrane with a molecular weight cutoff of 1000. To examine whether the effects were specific to brain endothelial cells, [3H]3MG uptake experiments were performed employing aortic endothelial cells (AECs), pulmonary microvessel endothelial cells (PMECs), and 3T3 cells. ACM treatment did not alter 3MG uptake by these cells, suggesting that the ACM effect was specific to BMECs. On the other hand, [3H]3MG uptake by AECs and PMECs treated with GCM was significantly enhanced. The present study demonstrated that some factor(s) of relatively small molecular weight, which was released from astrocytes or glioma cells, stimulated glucose uptake by enhancing GLUT1 synthesis in BMECs.

D005910 Glioma Benign and malignant central nervous system neoplasms derived from glial cells (i.e., astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and ependymocytes). Astrocytes may give rise to astrocytomas (ASTROCYTOMA) or glioblastoma multiforme (see GLIOBLASTOMA). Oligodendrocytes give rise to oligodendrogliomas (OLIGODENDROGLIOMA) and ependymocytes may undergo transformation to become EPENDYMOMA; CHOROID PLEXUS NEOPLASMS; or colloid cysts of the third ventricle.
