Abstract
Dysglycemia is one of the most serious adverse events associated with the clinical use of certain fluoroquinolones. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the representative fluoroquinolones moxifloxacin and gatifloxacin on hepatic gluconeogenesis using primary monkey hepatocytes. Glucose production was induced after the cells were incubated for 4 h with 10 mM sodium lactate and 1 mM sodium pyruvate as gluconeogenic substrates. Under these conditions, moxifloxacin and gatifloxacin dose-dependently suppressed gluconeogenesis at concentrations of 100 μM or higher. Transcriptome analysis of rate-limiting enzymes involved in hepatic gluconeogenesis revealed that moxifloxacin and gatifloxacin at a concentration of 1000 μM did not affect the expression of key gluconeogenic enzymes such as phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, glucose 6-phosphatase, and fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase. Furthermore, metabolome analysis, in vitro glucose production assay using additional gluconeogenic substrates, and fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase assay using the cell extracts showed that fluoroquinolones enzymatically suppressed hepatic gluconeogenesis by inhibiting fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase. These inhibitory effects may involve in the clinically relevant dysglycemia associated with fluoroquinolones in human.

Abstract
We characterized pancreatic islet lesions induced by several quinolones using functional and morphological examinations of the pancreatic islets in male rats orally administered gatifloxacin, lomefloxacin, or levofloxacin at 300 mg/kg for 14 consecutive days. Consequently, in contrast to lomefloxacin or levofloxacin, gatifloxacin increased serum glucose and glycosylated albumin on day 14 and elevated serum glucose tended to decrease insulin in the intravenous glucose tolerance test. Microscopically, only gatifloxacin induced cytoplasmic vacuoles containing eosinophilic homogenous contents in islet cells. Immunohistochemical examination revealed that vacuolated islet cells were positively stained for insulin, demonstrating they were pancreatic β cells. Electron microscopy showed that the cytoplasmic vacuoles represented dilated cisterna of the rough endoplasmic reticulum filled with electron-lucent materials in pancreatic β cells. Moreover, insulin secretory granules were drastically decreased in vacuolated islet cells, suggesting impaired insulin synthesis and/or transport. This gatifloxacin-induced pancreatic toxicity in rats was considered to be associated with high pancreatic drug distribution. These results demonstrated that gatifloxacin provoked functional and morphological pancreatic β cell alteration associated with impaired insulin synthesis and/or transport, leading to hyperglycemia.

Abstract
Accumulating evidences have showed that gatifloxacin causes dysglycemia in both diabetic and non-diabetic patients. Our preliminary study demonstrated that gatifloxacin stimulated glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) secretion from intestinal cells. The aim of the study was to investigate the association between gatifloxacin-stimulated GLP-1 release and dysglycemia in both normal and streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats and explore the possible mechanisms. Oral administration of gatifloxacin (100 mg/kg/day and 200 mg/kg/day) for 3 and 12 days led to marked elevation of GLP-1 levels, accompanied by significant decrease in insulin levels and increase in plasma glucose. Similar results were found in normal rats treated with 3-day gatifloxacin. Gatifloxacin-stimulated GLP-1 release was further confirmed in NCI-H716 cells, which was abolished by diazoxide, a K(ATP) channel opener. QT-PCR analysis showed that gatifloxacin also upregulated expression of proglucagon and prohormone convertase 3 mRNA. To clarify the contradiction on elevated GLP-1 without insulinotropic effect, effects of GLP-1 and gatifloxacin on insulin release were investigated using INS-1 cells. We found that short exposure (2h) to GLP-1 stimulated insulin secretion and biosynthesis, whereas long exposure (24 h and 48 h) to high level of GLP-1 inhibited insulin secretion and biosynthesis. Moreover, we also confirmed gatifloxacin acutely stimulated insulin secretion while chronically inhibited insulin biosynthesis. All the results gave an inference that gatifloxacin stimulated over-secretion of GLP-1, in turn, high levels of GLP-1 and gatifloxacin synergistically impaired insulin release, worsening hyperglycemia.
