Glucose transporter 5 is undetectable in outer hair cells and does not contribute to cochlear amplification

Abstract: Glucose transporter 5 (Glut5) is a high-affinity fructose transporter. It was proposed to be a motor protein or part of the motor complex required for cochlear amplification in outer hair cells (OHCs). Here we show that, in contrast to previous reports, Glut5 is undetectable, and possibly absent, in OHCs harvested from wildtype mice. Further, Glut5-deficient mice display normal OHC morphology and motor function (i.e., nonlinear capacitance and electromotility) and normal cochlear sensitivity and frequency sele… Show more

“…Generation of GLUT5‐KO (19), KHK‐KO (20), and Rab11a ΔIEC (12) mice was described in detail previously. Genetic modifications in these mice have been validated using primer sequences in (12, 19, 20). Although GLUT5‐KO and KHK‐KO mice showed normal phenotypes if fed fructose‐free diets, Rab11a ΔIEC mice exhibited ranting and growth retardation.…”

“…WT (129/B6) mice used for the Rab11a DIEC experiment were same-age littermates. Generation of GLUT5-KO (19), KHK-KO (20), and Rab11a DIEC (12) mice was described in detail previously. Genetic modifications in these mice have been validated using primer sequences in (12,19,20).…”

“…Study IC was conducted using GLUT5 Ϫ/Ϫ mice (background: C57BL6) donated by J. Zuo, St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital (47). Because the breeding of GLUT5 Ϫ/Ϫ produced small litters (2-4 pups) that were disproportionately female, only 10 male mice of similar age were produced from a large number of breeders.…”

“…Ϫ/Ϫ mice were generated as described (34). Briefly, a Glut5-floxed construct was generated by inserting one loxP site upstream of the predicted promoter and exon 1 and another loxP site downstream of exon 4 of the Glut5 gene, which has 14 exons.…”

“…Briefly, a Glut5-floxed construct was generated by inserting one loxP site upstream of the predicted promoter and exon 1 and another loxP site downstream of exon 4 of the Glut5 gene, which has 14 exons. After establishing germ line transmission, intercrosses between Glut5 floxed/ϩ and a ubiquitous Cre-expressing line EIIA-Cre (35) resulted in offspring with the expected global deletion of the floxed exons 1-4 of Glut5 (34). Glut5…”
