Abstract:Objective To investigate the effects of glucose transporter 1(GLUT1) gene overexpression on mesangial cells.Methods Rat mesangial cells were transduced with the human GLUT1 gene (MCGT1) by retrovirus vector.Mesangial cells transduced with bacterial [β-glaetosidase (MCLacZ) were used as control.Glucose uptake was detected by 2-deoxyglucose(2-DG).Lactate was measured with a spectrophotometry method.Cell volmne、RNA/DNA ratio and protein/DNA ratio were evaluated by flow cytometry analysis.The syntheses of collagen and fibronectin were measured by 3 H-proline incorporation and flow cytometry.The expression of collagenⅣ、 fibronectin mRNA were analyzed by RT-PCR.Results Northern blot and RT-PCR showed that the exogenous GLUT1 gene was expressed in MCGT1.MCGT1 demonstrated a higher 2-DG uptake than MCLacZ [(741.0±60. 5)dpm·μg prot-1 vs (92.2±9.0)dpm·μg prot-1,P<0. 01].Kinetic analysis revealed a 3.7-fold higher Vmax in MCGT1 vs MCLacZ with no difference in Km values.Lactate release into the media as well as that associated with the cell layer were 2.4,1.9-fold greater,respectively,in MCGT1 than in MCLacZ.MCGT1 showed an increase in cell volume,RNA/DNA ratio and protein/DNA ratio.In addition,MCGT1 exhibited greater synthesis of extracellular matrix than MCLacZ.Conclusions Glucose transport activity is an important modulator of cellular glucose metabolism in mesangial cells.GLUT1 may play an important role in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy.
