IntroductionHypoxia can stimulate 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake in cultured cells. A better understanding of the underlying molecular mechanism is required to determine the value of FDG for studying tumour hypoxia.MethodsThe effect of hypoxia on FDG uptake, and key proteins involved in glucose transport and glycolysis, was studied in MCF7 and MDA231 breast cancer cell lines.ResultsHypoxia induced a dose- and time-dependent increase in FDG uptake. The FDG increase was transient, suggesting that FDG uptake is only likely to be increased by acute hypoxia (< 24 h). Molecular analysis indicated that hypoxia upregulated glut1 and 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase, key proteins involved in regulating glucose transport and glycolysis, and that these changes were induced by Hypoxia-Inducible factor 1 (HIF1) upregulation and/or AMP-activated protein kinase activation.ConclusionsFDG may provide useful information about the oxygenation status of cells in hypoxic regions where HIF1 upregulation is hypoxia-driven.
