title: Tumor promoter-stimulated translocation of glucose transport system in mouse embryo fibroblast Swiss 3T3 cell.
abstract: Assay for D-glucose-inhibitable 3H-cytochalasin B-binding was carried out to elucidate the action mechanism of the tumor promoter-induced enhancement of glucose transport activity in Swiss 3T3 cells. Incubation of the cells with 12-0-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) increased the amount of D-glucose-inhibitable cytochalasin B-binding sites in plasma membrane from 13.5 to 40.1 pmol/mg protein. On the other hand, TPA treatment resulted in the decrease of binding sites in microsomal membrane from 68.9 to 34.1 pmol/mg protein. The tumor promoter-induced translocation of hexose transport system from microsomal membrane to plasma membrane was inhibited by the treatment with 2,4-dinitrophenol before the addition of TPA but was not affected by the treatment with cycloheximide. By removal of the promoter from its receptor, the stimulatory effect of the promoter on the translocation of hexose transport system was decreased. The analysis by electrophoresis demonstrated that among the affinity labeled hexose transporter components of Mr 48,000 and Mr 55,000, the former was responsible for the TPA-induced increase in hexose transport activity in plasma membrane.
