Abstract
BACKGROUND The glucose derivative 3-O-methyl-D-glucose (OMG) is used as a cryoprotectant in freezing cells. However, its protective role and the related mechanism in static cold storage (CS) of organs are unknown. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of OMG on cod ischemia damage in cold preservation of donor kidney. METHODS Pretreatment of OMG on kidney was performed in an isolated renal cold storage model in rats. LDH activity in renal efflux was used to evaluate the cellular damage. Indicators including iron levels, mitochondrial damage, MDA level, and cellular apoptosis were measured. Kidney quality was assessed via a kidney transplantation (KTx) model in rats. The grafted animals were followed up for 7 days. Ischemia reperfusion (I/R) injury and inflammatory response were assessed by biochemical and histological analyses. RESULTS OMG pretreatment alleviated prolonged CS-induced renal damage as evidenced by reduced LDH activities and tubular apoptosis. Kidney with pCS has significantly increased iron, MDA, and TUNEL+ cells, implying the increased ferroptosis, which has been partly inhibited by OMG. OMG pretreatment has improved the renal function (p <0.05) and prolonged the 7-day survival of the grafting recipients after KTx, as compared to the control group. OMG has significantly decreased inflammation and tubular damage after KTx, as evidenced by CD3-positive cells and TUNEL-positive cells. CONCLUSION Our study demonstrated that OMG protected kidney against the prolonged cold ischemia-caused injuries through inhibiting ferroptosis. Our results suggested that OMG might have potential clinical application in cold preservation of donor kidney.

Abstract
PURPOSE 3-O-Methyl-D-glucose (3-OMG) is a nonmetabolizable structural analog of glucose that offers potential to be used as a CEST-contrast agent for tumor detection. Here, we explore it for CEST-detection of malignant brain tumors and compare it with D-glucose. METHODS Glioma xenografts of a U87-MG cell line were implanted in five mice. Dynamic 3-OMG weighted images were collected using CEST-MRI at 11.7 T at a single offset of 1.2 ppm, showing the effect of accumulation of the contrast agent in the tumor, following an intravenous injection of 3-OMG (3 g/kg). RESULTS Tumor regions showed higher enhancement as compared to contralateral brain. The CEST contrast enhancement in the tumor region ranged from 2.5-5.0%, while it was 1.5-3.5% in contralateral brain. Previous D-glucose studies of the same tumor model showed an enhancement of 1.5-3.0% and 0.5-1.5% in tumor and contralateral brain, respectively. The signal gradually stabilized to a value that persisted for the length of the scan. CONCLUSIONS 3-OMG shows a CEST contrast enhancement that is approximately twice as much as that of D-glucose for a similar tumor line. In view of its suggested low toxicity and transport properties across the BBB, 3-OMG provides an option to be used as a nonmetallic contrast agent for evaluating brain tumors.

Abstract
A homodimer of taste type 1 receptor 3 (T1R3) functions as a sweet taste-sensing receptor in pancreatic β-cells. This receptor is activated by various sweet molecules including sugars such as glucose. To determine the role of this receptor in glucose-induced insulin secretion, we addressed whether or not this receptor modulates glucose metabolism in MIN6 cells. We measured changes in intracellular ATP ([ATP]i) in MIN6 cells expressing luciferase. Sucralose, an agonist of T1R3, induced immediate and sustained elevation of [ATP]i in the presence of 5.5 mM glucose. The effect of sucralose was dose-dependent and, at 5 mM, was greater than that induced by 25 mM glucose. In contrast, carbachol, GLP-1 or high concentration of potassium did not reproduce the sucralose action. Sucralose facilitated the increase in [ATP]i induced by a mitochondrial fuel methylsuccinate, and potentiated glucose-induced elevation of [ATP]i. Administration of a non-metabolizable glucose analogue, 3-O-methylglucose, which acts as an agonist of T1R3, induced a small and transient increase in [ATP]i. 3-O-Methylglucose augmented elevation of [ATP]i induced by methylsuccinate, and also enhanced glucose-induced increase in [ATP]i. Knock down of T1R3 by using shRNA attenuated [ATP]i-response to high concentration of glucose and also reduced the glucose-induced insulin secretion. These results indicate that activation of the homodimer of T1R3 facilitates the metabolic pathway in mitochondria and augments ATP production. The results obtained by using 3-O-methylglucose suggest that glucose, by acting on the homodimer of T1R3, promotes its own metabolism.

D-glucose‑ and 3-O-methyl-D-glucose-induced upregulation of selected genes in rat hepatocytes and INS1E cells: re‑evaluation of the possible role of hexose phosphorylation. Mol Med Rep 2013; 8:829-36.

Abstract
The biochemical events involved in the upregulation of selected glucose‑responsive genes by 3‑O‑methyl‑D‑glucose (3‑MG) remain to be elucidated. The present study mainly aimed to re‑evaluate the possible role of 3‑MG phosphorylation in the upregulation of the thioredoxin interacting protein (TXNIP) and liver pyruvate kinase (LPK) genes in rat hepatocytes and INS1E cells. TXNIP and LPK transcription was assessed in rat liver and INS1E cells exposed to a rise in D‑glucose concentration, 2‑deoxy‑D‑glucose (2‑DG), 3‑MG and, when required, D‑mannoheptulose. The phosphorylation of D‑[U‑14C]glucose and 3‑O‑[14C]methyl‑D‑glucose (14C-labeled 3-MG) was measured in rat liver, INS1E cell and rat pancreatic islet homogenates. The utilization of D‑[5‑3H]glucose by intact INS1E cells was also measured. In rat hepatocytes, a rise in the D‑glucose concentration increased the TXNIP/hypoxanthine‑guanine phosphoribosyl transferase (HPRT) and LPK/HPRT ratios, while 2‑DG and 3‑MG also increased the TXNIP/HPRT ratio, but not the LPK/HPRT ratio. In INS1E cells, the TXNIP/HPRT and LPK/HPRT ratios were increased in response to the addition of D‑glucose, 2‑DG and 3‑MG. Furthermore, D‑mannoheptulose abolished the response to D‑glucose and 2‑DG, but not to 3‑MG, in these cells. Liver cell homogenates catalyzed the phosphorylation of 3‑MG to a modest extent, whilst INS1E and rat pancreatic islet cell homogenates did not. Moreover, 3‑MG marginally decreased D‑glucose phosphorylation in INS1E cell homogenates but not in liver cell homogenates. D‑[5‑3H]glucose utilization by intact INS1E cells was decreased by 2‑DG, but not by 3‑MG. These findings reinforce the view that the upregulation of the TXNIP and LPK genes induced by 3‑MG is not attributable to its phosphorylation or any favorable effect on D‑glucose metabolism.

Abstract
Glucose is the physiological stimulus for insulin secretion in pancreatic beta cells. The uptake and phosphorylation of glucose initiate and control downstream pathways, resulting in insulin secretion. However, the temporal coordination of these events in beta cells is not fully understood. The recent development of the FLII(12)Pglu-700μ-δ6 glucose nanosensor facilitates real-time analysis of intracellular glucose within a broad concentration range. Using this fluorescence-based technique, we show the shift in intracellular glucose concentration upon external supply and removal in primary mouse beta cells with high resolution. Glucose influx, efflux, and metabolism rates were calculated from the time-dependent plots. Comparison of insulin-producing cells with different expression levels of glucose transporters and phosphorylating enzymes showed that a high glucose influx rate correlated with GLUT2 expression, but was largely also sustainable by high GLUT1 expression. In contrast, in cells not expressing the glucose sensor enzyme glucokinase glucose metabolism was slow. We found no evidence of oscillations of the intracellular glucose concentration in beta cells. Concomitant real-time analysis of glucose and calcium dynamics using FLII(12)Pglu-700μ-δ6 and fura-2-acetoxymethyl-ester determined a glucose threshold of 4mM for the [Ca(2+)](i) increase in beta cells. Indeed, a glucose concentration of 7mM had to be reached to evoke large amplitude [Ca(2+)](i) oscillations. The K(ATP) channel closing agent glibenclamide was not able to induce large amplitude [Ca(2+)](i) oscillations in the absence of glucose. Our findings suggest that glucose has to reach a threshold to evoke the [Ca(2+)](i) increase and subsequently initiate [Ca(2+)](i) oscillations in a K(ATP) channel independent manner.

Abstract
In order to assess the respective contribution of the exocrine and endocrine moieties of the pancreas to the overall net uptake of selected monosaccharides by the pancreatic gland, the apparent distribution space of L-[1-14C]glucose, 3-O-[14C-methyl]-D-glucose, D-[U-14C]glucose, D-[U-14C]mannose and D-[U-14C]fructose was measured in pieces of pancreas obtained from either control rats or animals injected with streptozotocin. Although the time course for the uptake of 3-O-[14C-methyl]-D-glucose, D-[U-14C]glucose, D-[U-14C]mannose and D-[U-14C]fructose was much slower in the pieces of pancreas than that previously documented in isolated pancreatic islets, no significant difference could, as a rule, be detected between the results obtained in pancreatic pieces of control and streptozotocin rats. A comparable situation prevailed in the pancreas of animals examined 3 min after the intravenous injection of 3-O-[14C-methyl]-D-glucose. D-Glucose inhibited the uptake of 3-O-[14C-methyl]-D-glucose and that of D-[U-14C]fructose. Likewise, 3-O-methyl-D-glucose inhibited the uptake of D-[U-14C]glucose. Cytochalasin B (20 microm) also inhibited the uptake of 3-O-[14C-methyl]-D-glucose and D-[U-14C]glucose, but not that of D-[U-14C]fructose. D-Mannoheptulose hexaacetate, but not the unesterified heptose, inhibited the metabolism of tritiated and 14C-labelled D-glucose, as well as the net uptake of D-[U-14C]glucose and D-[U-14C]mannose and, to a lesser extent, that of D-[U-14C]fructose. These findings indicate that despite marked differences between endocrine and exocrine pancreatic cells in terms of both the time course for the uptake of several hexoses and the inhibition of their phosphorylation by D-mannoheptulose, little or no preferential labelling of the endocrine moiety of the pancreas by the 14C-labelled hexoses is observed, at least when judged from their distribution space in pancreatic pieces or the whole pancreatic gland. Nevertheless, the findings made with D-mannoheptulose and its hexaacetate ester raise the view that this heptose could conceivably be used to achieve a sizeable preferential labelling of the endocrine pancreas under the present experimental conditions.

Abstract
The apparent distribution space of 6-deoxy-6-[125I]iodo-D-glucose, recently proposed as a tracer of D-glucose transport, was measured in rat isolated islets, acinar tissue, and pieces of pancreas. While such a space reached a steady-state value corresponding to the 3HOH volume in pancreatic islets within 5 min, it slowly increased in pieces of pancreas and, even after 60-min incubation, remained lower than the 3HOH volume. Moreover, the net uptake of 6-deoxy-6-[125I]iodo-D-glucose by pancreatic pieces was inhibited by unlabeled 6-deoxy-6-iodo-D-glucose, D-glucose, and cytochalasin B, while being less or not affected by these agents in isolated islets. A preferential labeling of the endocrine, relative to exocrine, moiety of the pancreas was documented both by comparing, after 2 min incubation, the uptake of 6-deoxy-6-[125I]iodo-D-glucose by pieces of pancreas from normal vs streptozotocin-injected rats and by comparing the radioactive content of pancreatic islets and acinar tissue obtained from normal rats injected intravenously 3 min before sacrifice with 6-deoxy-6-[125I]iodo-D-glucose. It is proposed, therefore, that advantage could conceivably be taken from the vastly different time course for the uptake of selected monosaccharides by pancreatic islets vs acinar cells in the perspective of imaging of the endocrine pancreas by a non invasive method.

Abstract
Tritiated glibenclamide binds to specific receptors and is internalized in pancreatic insulin-producing B-cells. We investigated, therefore, whether tritiated glibenclamide could be used to preferentially label the endocrine, as distinct from exocrine, pancreas. In isolated rat pancreatic islets, the net uptake of 3H-glibenclamide reached within 30 min of incubation a near-equilibrium value, corresponding to an apparent distribution space close to three to four times the islet volume. In pieces of pancreas exposed up to 1 h to 3H-glibenclamide, however, its apparent distribution space progressively increased and, even at the min 60 of incubation, did not exceed a third of the wet weight of the pieces. Yet, no significant difference could be detected between the time course for 3H-glibenclamide uptake by pancreatic pieces from either control animals or rats injected with streptozotocin a few days before the experiments. Likewise, no significant difference in the paired ratio between the radioactive content of the pancreas and plasma could be found between the control and diabetic rats when examined 1, 5, or 24 h after the IV administration of 3H-glibenclamide. These findings indicate that the sulfonylurea does not represent a suitable tool for preferential labeling of the endocrine pancreas in the perspective of its imaging by a noninvasive procedure.
