AbstractEL-4 ascites thymoma cells are shown to have high aerobic glycolysis and decreased Pasteur effect. At the same time, glucose produces a much smaller inhibitory effect on cell respiration (Crabtree effect) than in Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) cells. In intact EL-4 cells, the respiratory control ratio (RCR) was found to be 6.2 with endogenous substrates and 8.0 with glutamine. Glucose decreased the RCR to 3.2, by stimulating the state 4 respiration. In rat thymocytes and EAC cells, such an effect of glucose was absent (RCR of 7.0 and 7.2, respectively). It is suggested that in EL-4 tumor cells, the high aerobic glycolysis and small Crabtree effect may be due to glucose-induced 'uncoupling' of oxidation and phosphorylation.
