Counter-transport in chick embryo fibroblasts. A significant factor in measurement of glucose entry. 1982

R J Gay, and H Amos

Enhanced rates of carrier-mediated 3-O-methyl-D-glucose (0.1 mM) transport were observed in primary cell cultures of chicken embryo fibroblasts deprived of glucose for 1 day. The addition of 5.5 mM-glucose, glucosamine or 2-deoxy-D-glucose for 15 min (37 degrees C) to glucose-starved cultures followed by washing and immediate measurement of 3-O-methyl-D-glucose transport resulted in an apparent further stimulation of transport. Transport stimulation increased with increasing concentrations of the added preincubation sugar and was observed at test concentrations ranging from 0.1 mM- to 10 mM-3-O-methyl-D-glucose. This enhancement occurred when the preloaded sugar was rapidly effluxing from cells and was eliminated by allowing cultures to incubate in buffer without sugar for 30 min (37 degrees C) after the removal of hexose and before measuring transport. A transient overshoot in the cumulative uptake of 3-O-methyl-D-glucose was observed in glucose-starved cultures that were pre-incubated in the presence of 55 mM-glucose or -glucosamine for 15 min (37 degrees C). These data suggest that counter-transport accounts for the apparent enhancement of glucose-transport capability observed in glucose-starved cells when they are briefly re-exposed to hexose.
