Neoplastic cells overexpress glucose transporters (GLUT), particularly GLUT1 and GLUT3, to support altered metabolism. Hence, novel strategies are being explored to effectively inhibit GLUTs for a daunting interference of glucose uptake. Glutor, a piperazine-2-one derivative, is a newly reported pan-GLUT inhibitor with a promising antineoplastic potential. However, several aspects of the underlying mechanisms remain obscure. To understand this better, tumor cells of thymic origin designated as Dalton’s lymphoma (DL) were treated with glutor and analyzed for survival and metabolism regulatory molecular events. Treatment of tumor cells with glutor caused a decrease in cell survival with augmented induction of apoptosis. It also caused a decrease in glucose uptake associated with altered expression of GLUT1 and GLUT3. HIF-1α, HK-2, LDH-A, and MCT1 also decreased with diminished lactate production and deregulated pH homeostasis. Moreover, glutor treatment modulated the expression of cell survival regulatory molecules p53, Hsp70, IL-2 receptor CD25, and C-myc along with mitochondrial membrane depolarization, increased intracellular ROS expression, and altered Bcl-2/BAX ratio. Glutor also enhanced the chemosensitivity of tumor cells to cisplatin, accompanied by decreased MDR1 expression. Adding fructose to the culture medium containing glutor reversed the latter’s inhibitory action on tumor cell survival. These results demonstrate that in addition to inhibited glucose uptake, modulated tumor growth regulatory molecular pathways are also implicated in the manifestation of the antineoplastic action of glutor. Thus, the novel findings of this study will have a long-lasting clinical significance in evaluating and optimizing the use of glutor in anticancer therapeutic strategies.
