Table 2 GLUT5-associated intestinal diseases and the role of GLUT5 in these diseases

Disease

Role of GLUT5

Reference

Gut microbiota dysbiosis/gut barrier dysfunction

Changes in dietary fructose levels and intestinal GLUT5 expression contribute to disease development by altering normal gut microbiota and gut barrier function.

[ 97105]

IBDs (including UC and CD)

GLUT5 promotes the formation and growth of blood vessels and lymphatic vessels in the lamina propria of the large intestine in patients with IBDs.

[ 106111]

CRC

High expression of GLUT5 promotes CRC cells proliferation, metastasis, invasion and enhances drug resistance of cancer cells.

[ 112121]

FM

Fructose malabsorption due to lack of ChREBP or rab11a, or low expression of GLUT5 itself.
