Transcription profiling of rat A7r5 vascular smooth muscle cells over-expressing glucose transporter

ABSTRACT: Hypothesis: Overexpression of the GLUT1 facilitative glucose transporter, in A7r5 vascular smooth muscle cells, is sufficient and/or necessary to induce alterations in gene expression which influence apoptosis, growth, and proliferation. Experiment Overall Design: Scientific Approach: A7r5 rat embryonic vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) (ATCC, CRL-1444) were infected for 72 hours with adenoviral vectors containing human GLUT1 or empty vector controls at a multiplicity of infection of 10 (MOI of 1 = 100 particles/cell) and grown in both high glucose (25mM) and low glucose (5.5mM) media. The human GLUT1 cDNA adenoviral vector and empty vector controls were a gift from Dr Arno Kumagai (University of Michigan). Total RNA was isolated using TRIzol (Invitrogen Life Technologies, Carlsbad,
