Tumor cell membrane-coated continuous electrochemical sensor for GLUT1 inhibitor screening.

ABSTRACT: Glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) overexpression in tumor cells is a potential target for drug therapy, but few studies have reported screening GLUT1 inhibitors from natural or synthetic compounds. With current analysis techniques, it is difficult to accurately monitor the GLUT1 inhibitory effect of drug molecules in real-time. We developed a cell membrane-based glucose sensor (CMGS) that integrated a hydrogel electrode with tumor cell membranes to monitor GLUT1 transmembrane transport and screen for GLUT1 inhibitors in traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs). CMGS is compatible with cell membranes of various origins, including different types of tumors and cell lines with GLUT1 expression knocked down by small interfering RNA or small molecules. Based on CMGS continuous monitoring technique, we
