GLUT1 has recently been suggested to be a binding receptor for human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1). We used a novel, short-term assay to define the role of GLUT1 in cell-to-cell transmission. Although increasing cell surface levels of GLUT1 enhanced HTLV-1 transfer, efficient virus spread correlated largely with heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG) expression on target cells. Moreover, since activated CD4(+) T cells and cord blood lymphocytes that are susceptible to HTLV-1 infection expressed undetectable levels of surface GLUT1, these results indicate that GLUT1 and HSPGs are important for efficient cell-to-cell transmission of HTLV-1 but raise concerns on the role of GLUT1 as the HTLV-1 primary binding receptor.
