Popis: The regulation of nutrient transport by both cytokines and oncogenes has been linked to haemopoietic cell survival. In this study, we found that activation of Bcr--Abl protein tyrosine kinase was associated with the stimulation of glucose transport in the multipotent haemopoietic cell line FDCP-mix, a cell model for chronic-phase chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML). Bcr--Abl upregulation of glucose transport was mediated by phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase. The observation that Bcr--Abl can regulate glucose transport in a CML cell model raises the possibility that glucose transport regulation may have a role to play in the aberrant survival of stem cells in the chronic phase of CML.
