Glucose transport is stimulated in a variety of cells and tissues in response to inhibition of oxidative phosphorylation. However, the underlying mechanisms and mediating steps remain largely unknown. In the present study we first tested whether a decrease in the redox state of the cell per se and the resultant increase in generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) lead to stimulation of glucose transport. Clone 9 cells ( expressing the Glut1 isoform of facilitative glucose transporters) were exposed to azide, lactate, and ethanol for 1 h. Although all three agents stimulated glucose transport and increased cell NADH-to-NAD(+) ratio and phospho-ERK1/2, signifying increased ROS generation, the response to the stimuli was not blocked by N-acetyl-L-cysteine ( an agent that counteracts ROS); moreover, the response to azide was not blocked by diamide ( an intracellular sulfhydryl oxidizing agent). We then found that cell AMP-to-ATP and ADP-to-ATP ratios were increased and 5'-AMP-activated protein kinase ( AMPK) was stimulated by all three agents, as evidenced by increased phosphorylation of AMPK and acetyl-CoA carboxylase. We conclude that although azide, lactate, and ethanol increase NADH- to-NAD(+) ratios and ROS production, their stimulatory effect on glucose transport is not mediated by increased ROS generation. However, all three agents increased cell AMP-to-ATP ratio and stimulated AMPK, making it likely that the latter pathway plays an important role in the glucose transport response.
