| Abstract | Uptake of 3-O-methyl-D-glucoside (3-OMG) into thymocytes was studied to ascertain if it is modulated by endofacial hexokinase activity or by intracellular glucose. (1) The Vmax for net uptake of 3-OMG into rat thymocytes is increased by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA; 40 nM) or starvation for 4 h, and decreased by dexamethasone (1 microM). Starvation for 4 h abolishes the PMA-dependent increase in 3-OMG uptake; this effect is prevented by incubation in 2-deoxyglucose (2-dGlc; 1 mM). (2) Dexamethasone decreases 2-dGlc uptake, increases the rate of 2-dGlc exit and decreases accumulation of free 2-dGlc, consistent with decreased endofacial hexokinase activity. (3) 3-OMG uptake is decreased by preloading the cells with 2-dGlc or glucose, whereas preloading with 3-OMG (40 mM) increases uptake of 3-OMG. (4) The inhibitory effect of preloaded 2-dGlc or glucose on 3-OMG uptake is decreased by PMA. (5) Preloading cells with 3-OMG (40 mM) increases 2-dGlc influx in control and dexamethasone-treated cells, but not into PMA-treated cells. (6) The maximal rate of self-exchange of 3-OMG is similar in control, PMA- or dexamethasone-treated cells. These results are consistent with the following view: 3-OMG uptake is retarded by exchange with cytosolic glucose, or 2-dGlc. PMA, by increasing endofacial hexokinase activity, or starvation depletes glucose from the endofacial surface of the transporter, and hence increase 3-OMG uptake. Dexamethasone, by decreasing endofacial hexokinase activity, increases endofacial binding of glucose, and hence decreases 3-OMG uptake. Cytosolic 3-OMG competes with glucose for endofacial sites, and hence the maximal rates of exchange uptake of 3-OMG are similar in control, PMA- or dexamethasone-treated cells, as the activity of thymocyte glucose transporters is apparently unaltered. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
