Adenosine/A1R signaling pathway did not play dominant roles on the influence of SGLT2 inhibitor in the kidney of BSA‐overloaded STZ‐induced diabetic mice. J Diabetes Investig 2022; 13:955-964. [PMID: 35098679 PMCID: PMC9153834 DOI: 10.1111/jdi.13760] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2021] [Revised: 01/21/2022] [Accepted: 01/26/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Aims/Introduction Sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have been shown to display excellent renoprotective effects in diabetic kidney disease with macroalbuminuria/proteinuria. Regarding the renoprotective mechanism of SGLT2i, a sophisticated hypothesis was made by explaining the suppression of glomerular hypertension/hyperfiltration through the adenosine/adenosine type 1 receptor (A1R) signaling‐mediated restoration of the tubuloglomerular feedback mechanism; however, how such A1R signaling is relevant for renoprotection by SGLT2i in diabetic kidney disease with proteinuria has not been elucidated. Materials and Methods Streptozotocin‐induced diabetic CD‐1 mice were injected with bovine serum albumin (BSA) and treated with SGLT2i in the presence/absence of A1R inhibitor administration. Results We found that the influences of SGLT2i are essentially independent of the activation of A1R signaling in the kidney of BSA‐overloaded streptozotocin‐induced diabetic mice. BSA‐overloaded diabetic mice showed the trend of kidney damage with higher glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and the significant induction of fibrogenic genes, such as transforming growth factor‐β2 and collagen type III. SGLT2i TA‐1887 suppressed diabetes‐induced GFR in BSA‐overloaded diabetic mice was associated with the significant suppression of transforming growth factor‐β2 and collagen type III; A1R‐specific inhibitor 8‐cyclopentyl‐1,3‐dipropylxanthine did not cancel the effects of TA‐1887 on either GFR or associated gene levels. Both TA‐1887 and 8‐cyclopentyl‐1,3‐dipropylxanthine‐treated BSA‐overloaded diabetic mice showed suppressed glycated hemoglobin levels associated with the increased food intake. When analyzing the association among histological evaluation, GFR and potential fibrogenic gene levels, each group of mice showed distinct correlation patterns. Conclusions A1R signaling activation was not the dominant mechanism on the influence of SGLT2i in the kidney of BSA‐overloaded diabetic mice.

Abstract
High plasma levels of lipids and/or lipoproteins are risk factors for atherosclerosis, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), obesity, and diabetes. These four conditions have also been identified as risk factors leading to the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Although many pathways that generate high plasma levels of these factors have been identified, most clinical and physiologic dysfunction results from aberrant assembly and secretion of lipoproteins. The results of several published studies suggest that elevated levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol are a risk factor for atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, coronary artery calcification associated with type 2 diabetes, and NAFLD. Cholesterol metabolism has also been identified as an important pathway contributing to the development of CKD; clinical treatments designed to alter various steps of the cholesterol synthesis and metabolism pathway are currently under study. Cholesterol synthesis and catabolism contribute to a multistep process with pathways that are regulated at the cellular level in renal tissue. Cholesterol metabolism may also be regulated by the balance between the influx and efflux of cholesterol molecules that are capable of crossing the membrane of renal proximal tubular epithelial cells and podocytes. Cellular accumulation of cholesterol can result in lipotoxicity and ultimately kidney dysfunction and failure. Thus, further research focused on cholesterol metabolism pathways will be necessary to improve our understanding of the impact of cholesterol restriction, which is currently a primary intervention recommended for patients with dyslipidemia.

Abstract
The proximal tubule of the kidney is programmed to reabsorb all filtered glucose and fructose. Glucose is taken up by apical sodium-glucose cotransporters SGLT2 and SGLT1 whereas SGLT5 and potentially SGLT4 and GLUT5 have been implicated in apical fructose uptake. The glucose taken up by the proximal tubule is typically not metabolized but leaves via the basolateral facilitative glucose transporter GLUT2 and is returned to the systemic circulation or used as an energy source by distal tubular segments after basolateral uptake via GLUT1. The proximal tubule generates new glucose in metabolic acidosis and the postabsorptive phase, and fructose serves as an important substrate. In fact, under physiological conditions and intake, fructose taken up by proximal tubules is primarily utilized for gluconeogenesis. In the diabetic kidney, glucose is retained and gluconeogenesis enhanced, the latter in part driven by fructose. This is maladaptive as it sustains hyperglycemia. Moreover, renal glucose retention is coupled to sodium retention through SGLT2 and SGLT1, which induces secondary deleterious effects. SGLT2 inhibitors are new anti-hyperglycemic drugs that can protect the kidneys and heart from failing independent of kidney function and diabetes. Dietary excess of fructose also induces tubular injury. This can be magnified by kidney formation of fructose under pathological conditions. Fructose metabolism is linked to urate formation, which partially accounts for fructose-induced tubular injury, inflammation, and hemodynamic alterations. Fructose metabolism favors glycolysis over mitochondrial respiration as urate suppresses aconitase in the tricarboxylic acid cycle, and has been linked to potentially detrimental aerobic glycolysis (Warburg effect). © 2022 American Physiological Society.

Abstract
The kidney plays an important role in glucose homeostasis by releasing glucose into the blood stream to prevent hypoglycemia. It is also responsible for the filtration and subsequent reabsorption or excretion of glucose. As glucose is hydrophilic and soluble in water, it is unable to pass through the lipid bilayer on its own; therefore, transport takes place using carrier proteins localized to the plasma membrane. Both sodium-independent glucose transporters (GLUT proteins) and sodium-dependent glucose transporters (SGLT proteins) are expressed in kidney tissue, and mutations of the genes coding for these glucose transporters lead to renal disorders and diseases, including renal cancers. In addition, several diseases may disturb the expression and/or function of renal glucose transporters. The aim of this review is to describe the role of the kidney in glucose homeostasis and the contribution of glucose transporters in renal physiology and renal diseases.

Abstract
AIM To characterize the long-term changes in body composition associated with sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this multicentre, single-arm, open-label study, 107 patients with type 2 diabetes were treated with canagliflozin 100 mg, as add-on therapy, for 12 months. Body composition was measured with a body composition analyser (T-SCAN PLUS) using the impedance method to prospectively analyse changes in body components, including percentage of body fat, body fat mass, total body water, muscle mass and mineral mass. Estimated plasma volume (PV) was calculated using the Kaplan formula. RESULTS Body weight showed a significant decrease from 1 month to 12 months of treatment with canagliflozin, with a higher rate of decrease in body fat in body composition. A significant decrease in mineral mass was also observed, but its rate was low. Following treatment with canagliflozin, changes in total body water did not affect intracellular water, and a significant decrease in extracellular water, including plasma components, was observed early and was sustained up to 12 months. Protein mass, a component of muscle mass, was not affected, with only a slight decrease in water volume observed. CONCLUSIONS Canagliflozin decreased extracellular fluid and PV in addition to decreasing fat in the body via calorie loss resulting from urinary glucose excretion. This study suggested that SGLT2 inhibitors might reduce body weight by regulating fat mass or water distribution in the body and might have cardiac and renal protective effects by resetting the homeostasis of fluid balance.

Abstract
The circadian clock is a ubiquitous molecular time-keeping mechanism which synchronizes cellular, tissue, and systemic biological functions with 24-hour environmental cycles. Local circadian clocks drive cell type- and tissue-specific rhythms and their dysregulation has been implicated in pathogenesis and/or progression of a broad spectrum of diseases. However, the pathophysiological role of intrinsic circadian clocks in the kidney of diabetics remains unknown. To address this question, we induced type I diabetes with streptozotocin in mice devoid of the circadian transcriptional regulator BMAL1 in podocytes (cKOp mice) or in the kidney tubule (cKOt mice). There was no association between dysfunction of the circadian clock and the development of diabetic nephropathy in cKOp and cKOt mice with diabetes. However, cKOt mice with diabetes exhibited exacerbated hyperglycemia, increased fractional excretion of glucose in the urine, enhanced polyuria, and a more pronounced kidney hypertrophy compared to streptozotocin-treated control mice. mRNA and protein expression analyses revealed substantial enhancement of the gluconeogenic pathway in kidneys of cKOt mice with diabetes as compared to diabetic control mice. Transcriptomic analysis along with functional analysis of cKOt mice with diabetes identified changes in multiple mechanisms directly or indirectly affecting the gluconeogenic pathway. Thus, we demonstrate that dysfunction of the intrinsic kidney tubule circadian clock can aggravate diabetic hyperglycemia via enhancement of gluconeogenesis in the kidney proximal tubule and further highlight the importance of circadian behavior in patients with diabetes.

Abstract
Diabetes is a worldwide epidemic that is increasing rapidly to become the seventh leading cause of death in the world. The increased incidence of this disease mirrors a similar uptick in obesity and metabolic syndrome, and, collectively, these conditions can cause deleterious effects on a number of organ systems including the renal and cardiovascular systems. Historically, treatment of type 2 diabetes has focused on decreasing hyperglycemia and glycated hemoglobin levels. However, it now is appreciated that there is more to the puzzle. Emerging evidence has indicated that newer classes of diabetes drugs, sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide 1-receptor agonists, improve cardiovascular and renal function, while appropriately managing hyperglycemia. In this review, we highlight the recent clinical and preclinical studies that have shed light on sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide 1-receptor agonists and their ability to stabilize blood glucose levels while offering whole-body protection in diabetic and nondiabetic patient populations.

Abstract
Renal gluconeogenesis is one of the major pathways for endogenous glucose production. Impairment in this process may contribute to hyperglycemia in cases with insulin resistance and diabetes. We reviewed pertinent studies to elucidate the role of renal gluconeogenesis regulation in insulin resistance and diabetes. A consensus on the suppressive effect of insulin on kidney gluconeogenesis has started to build up. Insulin-resistant models exhibit reduced insulin receptor (IR) expression and/or post-receptor signaling in their kidney tissue. Reduced IR expression or post-receptor signaling can cause impairment in insulin’s action on kidneys, which may increase renal gluconeogenesis in the state of insulin resistance. It is now established that the kidney contributes up to 20% of all glucose production via gluconeogenesis in the post-absorptive phase. However, the rate of renal glucose release excessively increases in diabetes. The rise in renal glucose release in diabetes may contribute to fasting hyperglycemia and increased postprandial glucose levels. Enhanced glucose release by the kidneys and renal expression of the gluconeogenic-enzyme in diabetic rodents and humans further point towards the significance of renal gluconeogenesis. Overall, the available literature suggests that impairment in renal gluconeogenesis in an insulin-resistant state may contribute to hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) is emerging as a novel preservation strategy. During NMP, the organ is maintained in a metabolically active state that may not only provide superior organ preservation, but that also facilitates viability testing before transplantation, and ex situ resuscitation of marginal kidney grafts. Although the prevailing perfusion protocols for renal NMP are refined from initial pioneering studies concerning short periods of NMP, it could be argued that these protocols are not optimally tailored to address the putatively compromised metabolic plasticity of marginal donor grafts (i.e., in the context of viability testing and/or preservation), or to meet the metabolic prerequisites associated with prolonged perfusions and the required anabolic state in the context of organ regeneration. Herein, we provide a theoretical framework for the metabolic requirements for renal NMP. Aspects are discussed along the lines of carbohydrates, fatty acids, amino acids, and micronutrients required for optimal NMP of an isolated kidney. In addition, considerations for monitoring aspects of metabolic status during NMP are discussed.

Abstract
SGLT2 inhibitors are antihyperglycemic drugs that protect kidneys and the heart of patients with or without type 2 diabetes and preserved or reduced kidney function from failing. The involved protective mechanisms include blood glucose-dependent and -independent mechanisms: SGLT2 inhibitors prevent both hyper- and hypoglycemia, with expectedly little net effect on HbA1C. Metabolic adaptations to induced urinary glucose loss include reduced fat mass and more ketone bodies as additional fuel. SGLT2 inhibitors lower glomerular capillary hypertension and hyperfiltration, thereby reducing the physical stress on the filtration barrier, albuminuria, and the oxygen demand for tubular reabsorption. This improves cortical oxygenation, which, together with lesser tubular gluco-toxicity, may preserve tubular function and glomerular filtration rate in the long term. SGLT2 inhibitors may mimic systemic hypoxia and stimulate erythropoiesis, which improves organ oxygen delivery. SGLT2 inhibitors are proximal tubule and osmotic diuretics that reduce volume retention and blood pressure and preserve heart function, potentially in part by overcoming the resistance to diuretics and atrial-natriuretic-peptide and inhibiting Na-H exchangers and sympathetic tone.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a prevalent disease with the severe clinical implications including myocardial infarction, stroke, and kidney disease. Therapies focusing on glycemic control in T2DM such as biguanides, sulfonylureas, thiazolidinediones, and insulin-based regimens have largely failed to substantially improve cardiovascular and kidney outcomes. We review the recent findings on sodium-glucose co-transporter type 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors which have shown to have beneficial cardiovascular and kidney-related effects. RECENT FINDINGS SGLT2 inhibitors are a new class of diabetic medications that reduce the absorption of glucose in the kidney, decrease proteinuria, control blood pressure, and are associated with weight loss. SGLT2 inhibitors provide complementary therapy independent of insulin secretion or action with proved glucose-lowering effects. Recent placebo-controlled clinical trials have demonstrated that these medications can decrease cardiovascular death, progression of kidney disease, and all-cause mortality in diabetic and non-diabetic patients. Interestingly, SGT2 inhibitors such as dapagliflozin have also proven to decrease heart failure admissions and cardiovascular endpoints in non-diabetic patients, suggesting pleiotropic effects. The exact mechanisms responsible for reductions in atherosclerotic heart disease, need for kidney replacement therapy, and progressive kidney disease remain unknown. While regulation of glomerular hyperfiltration, albuminuria, and natriuresis may be part of the explanation, it is possible that complex cellular effects including energy balance optimization, downregulation of oxidative stress, and modulation of pro-inflammatory signaling pathways are associated with favorable outcomes observed in large clinical studies. CONCLUSION SGLT2 inhibitors are novel antidiabetic medications with immense utility in the management of patients with T2DM. Furthermore, SGLT2 inhibitors have demonstrated to reduce the progression to advanced forms of kidney disease and its associated complications. These medications should be front and center in the management of patients with diabetic kidney disease with and without chronic kidney disease as they confer protection against cardiovascular/renal death and improve all-cause mortality. Future studies should evaluate the benefits and implications of early initiation of SGLT2 inhibitors, as well as the long-term effects of this therapy.

Abstract
Therapeutic inhibition of the sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) leads to substantial loss of energy (in the form of glucose) and additional solutes (in the form of Na+ and its accompanying anions) in urine. However, despite the continuously elevated solute excretion, long-term osmotic diuresis does not occur in humans with SGLT2 inhibition. Rather, patients on SGLT2 inhibitor therapy adjust to the reduction in energy availability and conserve water. The metabolic adaptations that are induced by SGLT2 inhibition are similar to those observed in aestivation - an evolutionarily conserved survival strategy that enables physiological adaptation to energy and water shortage. Aestivators exploit amino acids from muscle to produce glucose and fatty acid fuels. This endogenous energy supply chain is coupled with nitrogen transfer for organic osmolyte production, which allows parallel water conservation. Moreover, this process is often accompanied by a reduction in metabolic rate. By comparing aestivation metabolism with the fuel switches that occur during therapeutic SGLT2 inhibition, we suggest that SGLT2 inhibitors induce aestivation-like metabolic patterns, which may contribute to the improvements in cardiac and renal function observed with this class of therapeutics.

A role for tubular Na +/H + exchanger NHE3 in the natriuretic effect of the SGLT2 inhibitor empagliflozin. Am J Physiol Renal Physiol 2020; 319:F712-F728.

Abstract
Inhibitors of proximal tubular Na+-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) are natriuretic, and they lower blood pressure. There are reports that the activities of SGLT2 and Na+-H+ exchanger 3 (NHE3) are coordinated. If so, then part of the natriuretic response to an SGLT2 inhibitor is mediated by suppressing NHE3. To examine this further, we compared the effects of an SGLT2 inhibitor, empagliflozin, on urine composition and systolic blood pressure (SBP) in nondiabetic mice with tubule-specific NHE3 knockdown (NHE3-ko) and wild-type (WT) littermates. A single dose of empagliflozin, titrated to cause minimal glucosuria, increased urinary excretion of Na+ and bicarbonate and raised urine pH in WT mice but not in NHE3-ko mice. Chronic empagliflozin treatment tended to lower SBP despite higher renal renin mRNA expression and lowered the ratio of SBP to renin mRNA, indicating volume loss. This effect of empagliflozin depended on tubular NHE3. In diabetic Akita mice, chronic empagliflozin enhanced phosphorylation of NHE3 (S552/S605), changes previously linked to lesser NHE3-mediated reabsorption. Chronic empagliflozin also increased expression of genes involved with renal gluconeogenesis, bicarbonate regeneration, and ammonium formation. While this could reflect compensatory responses to acidification of proximal tubular cells resulting from reduced NHE3 activity, these effects were at least in part independent of tubular NHE3 and potentially indicated metabolic adaptations to urinary glucose loss. Moreover, empagliflozin increased luminal α-ketoglutarate, which may serve to stimulate compensatory distal NaCl reabsorption, while cogenerated and excreted ammonium balances urine losses of this "potential bicarbonate." The data implicate NHE3 as a determinant of the natriuretic effect of empagliflozin.

SGLT2 is not expressed in pancreatic α- and β-cells, and its inhibition does not directly affect glucagon and insulin secretion in rodents and humans. Mol Metab 2020; 42:101071. [PMID: 32896668 PMCID: PMC7554656 DOI: 10.1016/j.molmet.2020.101071] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/30/2020] [Revised: 08/13/2020] [Accepted: 08/25/2020] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors (SGLT2i), or gliflozins, are anti-diabetic drugs that lower glycemia by promoting glucosuria, but they also stimulate endogenous glucose and ketone body production. The likely causes of these metabolic responses are increased blood glucagon levels, and decreased blood insulin levels, but the mechanisms involved are hotly debated. This study verified whether or not SGLT2i affect glucagon and insulin secretion by a direct action on islet cells in three species, using multiple approaches. Methods We tested the in vivo effects of two selective SGLT2i (dapagliflozin, empagliflozin) and a SGLT1/2i (sotagliflozin) on various biological parameters (glucosuria, glycemia, glucagonemia, insulinemia) in mice. mRNA expression of SGLT2 and other glucose transporters was assessed in rat, mouse, and human FACS-purified α- and β-cells, and by analysis of two human islet cell transcriptomic datasets. Immunodetection of SGLT2 in pancreatic tissues was performed with a validated antibody. The effects of dapagliflozin, empagliflozin, and sotagliflozin on glucagon and insulin secretion were assessed using isolated rat, mouse and human islets and the in situ perfused mouse pancreas. Finally, we tested the long-term effect of SGLT2i on glucagon gene expression. Results SGLT2 inhibition in mice increased the plasma glucagon/insulin ratio in the fasted state, an effect correlated with a decline in glycemia. Gene expression analyses and immunodetections showed no SGLT2 mRNA or protein expression in rodent and human islet cells, but moderate SGLT1 mRNA expression in human α-cells. However, functional experiments on rat, mouse, and human (29 donors) islets and the in situ perfused mouse pancreas did not identify any direct effect of dapagliflozin, empagliflozin or sotagliflozin on glucagon and insulin secretion. SGLT2i did not affect glucagon gene expression in rat and human islets. Conclusions The data indicate that the SGLT2i-induced increase of the plasma glucagon/insulin ratio in vivo does not result from a direct action of the gliflozins on islet cells. Gliflozins (SGLT2 and SGLT1/2 inhibitors) increase plasma glucagon/insulin ratio. SGLT2 is not expressed in rodent and human pancreatic α- and β-cells. SGLT1 is however expressed in human α-cells. SGLT2 and SGLT1/2 inhibitors do not directly affect glucagon and insulin secretion.

Abstract
Inhibitors of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) have undoubtedly shifted the paradigm for diabetes medicine and research and, especially, diabetic kidney disease (DKD). The pharmacological action of SGLT2 inhibitors is simply the release of glucose into urine; however, precisely how SGLT2 inhibitors contribute to the health of those with diabetes has still not been completely elucidated. Towards this end, the present review provides a novel insight into the action of SGLT2 inhibitors by highlighting a neglected fuel-burning system found in proximal tubular cells-'glycolysis'. In addition, exploring the details of the molecular mechanisms and clinical biomarkers of the organ protection conferred by SGLT2 inhibitors is now required to prepare for the next stage of clinical diabetes medicine-the 'post-SGLT2 inhibitor era'.

Abstract
Accumulation of glycogen in the kidney and liver is the main feature of Fanconi-Bickel Syndrome (FBS), a rare disorder of carbohydrate metabolism inherited in an autosomal recessive manner due to SLC2A2 gene mutations. Missense, nonsense, frame-shift (fs), in-frame indels, splice site, and compound heterozygous variants have all been identified in SLC2A2 gene of FBS cases. Approximately 144 FBS cases with 70 different SLC2A2 gene variants have been reported so far. SLC2A2 encodes for glucose transporter 2 (GLUT2) a low affinity facilitative transporter of glucose mainly expressed in tissues playing important roles in glucose homeostasis, such as renal tubular cells, enterocytes, pancreatic β-cells, hepatocytes and discrete regions of the brain. Dysfunctional mutations and decreased GLUT2 expression leads to dysglycaemia (fasting hypoglycemia, postprandial hyperglycemia, glucose intolerance, and rarely diabetes mellitus), hepatomegaly, galactose intolerance, rickets, and poor growth. The molecular mechanisms of dysglycaemia in FBS are still not clearly understood. In this review, we discuss the physiological roles of GLUT2 and the pathophysiology of mutants, highlight all of the previously reported SLC2A2 mutations associated with dysglycaemia, and review the potential molecular mechanisms leading to dysglycaemia and diabetes mellitus in FBS patients.

Abstract
Hypertension in chronic kidney disease (CKD) is the most commonly observed comorbidity and is a risk factor for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) as well as cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality. Therefore, suitable blood pressure (BP) control in CKD patients is very important in preventing both CVD and ESRD. We herein describe the recommendations of target BP and the pharmacological drug options from the evidence-based clinical practice guidelines for CKD in 2018 by the Japanese Society of Nephrology (JSN CKD 2018) and recent advances in the management of hypertension in CKD, including sodium-glucose cotransporter (SGLT) 2 inhibitors, mineralocorticoid receptor blockers, and renal denervation. In particular, SGLT2 inhibitors are a new class of "antihypertensive drugs" that have a homeostatic mechanism that regulates body fluid volume in addition to diuretic action, which may be closely associated with their cardiorenal protective properties.
