Rapidly proliferating leukemic progenitor cells consume substantial glucose that may lead to glucose insufficiency in bone marrow. We show that acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells are prone to fructose utilization with an upregulated fructose transporter GLUT5, compensating for glucose deficiency. Notably, AML patients with upregulated transcription of GLUT5-encoding gene SLC2A5 or increased fructose utilization have poor outcomes. Pharmacological blockage of fructose uptake ameliorates leukemic phenotypes and potentiates the cytotoxicity of antileukemic agent, Ara-C. In conclusion, this study highlights enhanced fructose utilization as a metabolic feature of AML and a potential therapeutic target. Chen et al. show that AML cells exhibit enhanced fructose utilization under low-glucose conditions via upregulating the fructose transporter GLUT5, exacerbating leukemic phenotypes. Pharmacologic blockade of fructose utilization selectively eliminates AML cells and enhances the efficacy of Ara-C.
