The GLUT1 glucose transporter gene is regulated at the post-transcriptional level, and a 10 nucleotide (nt) cis-acting element located at nt 2181-2190 of the GLUT1 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) increases the transient expression of a luciferase reporter gene. To investigate the role of this mRNA cis-element, stable transfectants expressing luciferase reporter genes were established in rat C6 glioma cells. Insertion of nt 2100-2300 of GLUT1 3'-UTR resulted in a marked increase in the abundance of both reporter gene mRNA and protein compared to the control, in parallel with a 228% increase in the mRNA t(1/2) determined with actinomycin D. Deletion of the 10 nt cis-acting element in the GLUT1 3'-UTR reduced the abundance of reporter gene products and the mRNA t(1/2) to levels similar to the control clone. Data suggest that the cis-acting element located at nt 2181-2190 of bovine GLUT1 mRNA 3'-UTR is responsible for increased GLUT1 gene expression via enhanced GLUT1 mRNA stabilization.
