mRNA expression of glucose and glutamine transporters. A, Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis of Slc2a1 (Glut1) expression after 2 days of polarization demonstrates increased expression of Slc2a1 in MΦLPS, consistent with their increased 3H-2-deoxyglucose uptake. Enhanced expression of (B) Slc1a5 and (C) Slc3a2 was also detected in MΦLPS and MΦIL-4, respectively, consistent with their higher glutamine accumulation (n=3, each pooled from 2 mice).
