The role of monocarboxylate transpoter 1 to uptake acetate in low glycolytic hepatocellular carcinoma cell line HepG2 cells

Conclusions Our data demonstrate that acetate was supported to HCC cells through MCT1 specifically in the low glycolytic cancer cells, and high MCT1 expression is related with low glycolytic phenotype cancer that would be the therapeutic target or diagnosis probe for low glycolytic cancers.
