The uptake of 2-NBDG and staining of Glut-1 in multicellular structures and cell monolayers. (A) Effects on uptake of a fluorescent glucose analog 2-NBDG after cells were treated for 48 hours with doxorubicin and cisplatin. The (■) dark and (grey square symbol) grey bars represent multicellular structures and cell monolayers respectively. (*) P < 0.05, compared to control multicellular structures. (#) P < 0.05, compared to control cell monolayers. Data are expressed as the mean ± SEM from at least four independent experiments. (B) Effects on immunohistochemistry staining of Glut-1 by doxorubicin and cisplatin. Multicellular structures of Ishikawa, RL95-2, and KLE cells were cut, fixed and stained with anti-Glut-1 antibody. Glut-1 was stained green and the nucleus is blue. The scale bar is 50 μm.
