Abstract

Glycolysis is a key energy‑providing process and one of the hallmarks of cancer. Nitric oxide (NO), a free radical molecule, regulates glycolysis in various cancers. NO can alter the cell cycle and apoptosis in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) cells. However, the effect of NO on glycolysis in HNSCC cells remains unresolved. The present study investigated the effects of NO on cell proliferation, glucose transporter (GLUT) gene expression and glycolytic indicators in HNSCC cell lines. Two pairs of isogenic HNSCC cell lines, HN18/HN17 and HN30/HN31, were treated with a NO donor, diethylamine NONOate (DEA‑NONOate), for 24, 48 and 72 h. Cell proliferation was assessed using MTT assay and NO concentration was measured using the Griess Reagent System. GLUT1, GLUT2, GLUT3, and GLUT4 gene expression was analyzed using reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR. Furthermore, hexokinase (HK) activity and lactate production were measured in NO‑treated cells using colorimetric assay. NO exhibited concentration‑dependent pro‑ and anti‑proliferative effects on the HNSCC cell lines. Lower NO concentrations (5‑200 µM) had pro‑proliferative effects, whereas NO >200 µM had an anti‑proliferative effect on HNSCC cells. NO (5 µM) promoted proliferation and glycolysis in HN18 cells by upregulating GLUT1 and GLUT2 gene expression and increasing HK activity and lactate levels. At 5‑20 µM, NO‑induced HN17 and HN30 cells demonstrated enhanced proliferation and GLUT2, GLUT3 and GLUT4 gene expression, whereas the glycolytic pathway was not affected. In conclusion, the present study demonstrated distinct proliferative effects of NO on HNSCC cells. NO may promote cell proliferation by stimulating glucose consumption and the glycolytic rate in HN18 cells. The effects of NO in other cell lines may be mediated by a non‑glycolysis mechanism and require further investigation.
