Table 3 Malignant tumors associated with high GLUT5 expression mentioned in this review

Cancer

Expression of GLUT5

Influence

Reference

Colorectal cancer

Up-regulated

GLUT5 promotes cancer cell proliferation, migration and invasion, and enhances cancer cell drug resistance.

[ 114121]

Glioma

Up-regulated

GLUT5 is associated with tumor malignancy and poor patient survival.

[132]

Ovarian cancer

Up-regulated

GLUT5 is associated with tumor malignancy and poor patient survival.

[133]

Lung adenocarcinoma

Up-regulated

GLUT5 promotes cancer cell proliferation, migration, invasion and tumorigenicity, enhances cancer cell drug resistance and is associated with poor patient prognosis.

[ 134, 135]

Breast cancer

Up-regulated

GLUT5 promotes tumor progression.

[137]

Acute myeloid leukemia

Up-regulated

GLUT5 promotes tumor progression.

[138]

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma

Up-regulated

GLUT5 promotes tumor progression.

[139]

Cholangiocarcinoma

Up-regulated

Cancer cells with high GLUT5 expression showed increased cell proliferation and ATP synthesis.

[143]

Oral squamous cell carcinoma

Up-regulated

Up-regulated GLUT5 mediates increased uptake and utilization of fructose by cancer cells induced by IL-6.

[144]

Prostate cancer

Up-regulated

Up-regulated GLUT5 mediates increased uptake and utilization of fructose by cancer cells induced by IL-6.

[ 136, 144]

Pancreatic cancer

Up-regulated

GLUT5-mediated fructose uptake and utilization promote nucleotide synthesis in cancer cells.
