GLUT3/SLC2A3 is an endogenous marker of hypoxia in prostate epithelial and prostate cancer cells.


ABSTRACT: The microenvironment of solid tumors is dynamic and frequently contain pockets of low oxygen levels (hypoxia) surrounded by regions of normal oxygen levels.  Indeed, a compromised vascular is a is hallmark of the tumor microenvironment, creating gradients of hypoxia.  Notably, hypoxia associates with increased metastasis and poor survival in patients.  Therefore, to aid therapeutic decisions and better understand hypoxia's role in cancer progression, it is critical to identify endogenous biomarkers of hypoxia to spatially phenotype oncogenic lesions in human tissue, whether precancerous, benign, or malignant.  Here, we characterize the glucose transporter GLUT3/SLC2A3 as a biomarker of hypoxia prostate epithelial cells and prostate tumors.  Transcriptomic analyses of hypoxic immortalized prostate epithelial cells revealed a highly significant increase in GLUT3 expression.  GLUT3 upregulation was also detected by immunostaining in hypoxic prostate epithelial cells and prostate cancer cell lines.  Additionally, GLUT3 dramatically co-localized with the hypoxia-marker pimonidazole in xenograft tumors formed from prostate cancer cells and showed distinct concentration gradients within patient-derived xenograft tumors from primary and metastatic prostate cancer.  Compared to established hypoxia-response genes, GLUT1 and CA9, GLUT3 shows a higher degree of hypoxia labeling within tumor tissue and may serve as a alternative endogenous biomarker of hypoxia.
