Inhibition of Glutamine Uptake Improves the Efficacy of Cetuximab on Gastric Cancer by Huanrong Ma PhD, Jingjing Wu Bachelor, Minyu Zhou PhD, Jianhua Wu PhD, Zhenzhen Wu PhD, Li Lin PhD, Na Huang PhD, Wangjun Liao PhD, Li Sun PhD

“…The results of MTT assay showed that by glutamine deprivation or inhibition of glutamine uptake, the viability of gastric carcinoma cells was inhibited more severely than that of human immortal gastric mucosa epithelial cells (GES-1). The expression of the key glutamine transporter alanine-serine-cysteine (ASC) transporter 2 (ASCT2; SLC1A5) was significantly higher in gastric carcinoma tissues and various gastric carcinoma cell lines than in normal gastric tissues and cells, as shown by immunohistochemistry and western blotting, while silencing ASCT2 significantly inhibited the viability and proliferation of gastric carcinoma cells. …”
