Premature infants receiving chronic total parenteral nutrition (TPN) due to feeding intolerance develop intestinal atrophy and reduced nutrient absorption. Although providing the intestinal trophic hormone glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2) during chronic TPN improves intestinal growth and morphology, it is uncertain whether GLP-2 enhances absorptive function. We placed catheters in the carotid artery, jugular and portal veins, duodenum, and a portal vein flow probe in piglets before providing either enteral formula (ENT), TPN or a coinfusion of TPN plus GLP-2 for 6 days. On postoperative day 7, all piglets were fed enterally and digestive functions were evaluated in vivo using dual infusion of enteral ((13)C) and intravenous ((2)H) glucose, in vitro by measuring mucosal lactase activity and rates of apical glucose transport, and by assessing the abundances of sodium glucose transporter-1 (SGLT-1) and glucose transporter-2 (GLUT2). Both ENT and GLP-2 pigs had larger intestine weights, longer villi, and higher lactose digestive capacity and in vivo net glucose and galactose absorption compared with TPN alone. These endpoints were similar in ENT and GLP-2 pigs except for a lower intestinal weight and net glucose absorption in GLP-2 compared with ENT pigs. The enhanced hexose absorption in GLP-2 compared with TPN pigs corresponded with higher lactose digestive and apical glucose transport capacities, increased abundance of SGLT-1, but not GLUT-2, and lower intestinal metabolism of [(13)C]glucose to [(13)C]lactate. Our findings indicate that GLP-2 treatment during chronic TPN maintains intestinal structure and lactose digestive and hexose absorptive capacities, reduces intestinal hexose metabolism, and may facilitate the transition to enteral feeding in TPN-fed infants.  相似文献

Glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2) is an intestinal trophic enteroendocrine peptide that is associated with intestinal adaptation following resection. Herein, we investigate the effects of GLP-2 in a total parenteral nutrition (TPN)-supported model of experimental short bowel syndrome. Juvenile Sprague-Dawley rats underwent a 90% small intestinal resection and jugular catheter insertion. Rats were randomized to three groups: enteral diet and intravenous saline infusion, TPN only, or TPN + 10 microg.kg(-1).h(-1) GLP-2. Nutritional maintenance was isocaloric and isonitrogenous. After 7 days, intestinal permeability was assessed by quantifying the urinary recovery of gavaged carbohydrate probes. The following day, animals were euthanized, and intestinal tissue was processed for morphological and crypt cell proliferation (CCP) analysis, apoptosis (caspase-3), and expression of SGLT-1 and GLUT-5 transport proteins. TPN plus GLP-2 treatment resulted in increased bowel and body weight, villus height, intestinal mucosal surface area, CCP, and reduced intestinal permeability compared with the TPN alone animals (P < 0.05). GLP-2 treatment induced increases in serum GLP-2 levels and intestinal SGLT-1 expression (P < 0.01) compared with either TPN or enteral groups. No differences were seen in the villus apoptotic index between resection groups. Enterally fed resected animals had a significant decrease in crypt apoptotic indexes compared with nontreated animals. This study demonstrates that GLP-2 alone, without enteral feeding, stimulates indexes of intestinal adaptation. Secondly, villus hypertrophy associated with adaptation was predominantly due to an increase in CCP and not to changes in apoptotic rates. Further studies are warranted to establish the mechanisms of action and therapeutic potential of GLP-2.  相似文献

Exogenous glucagon-like peptide 2 (GLP-2) prevents intestinal atrophy and increases nutrient absorption in term newborn pigs receiving total parenteral nutrition (TPN). We tested the hypothesis that the immature intestine of fetuses and preterm neonates has a diminished nutrient absorption response to exogenous GLP-2. This was accomplished using catheterized fetal pigs infused for 6 days (87-91% of gestation) with GLP-2 (25 nmol.kg(-1).day(-1) iv; n = 7) or saline (n = 7), and cesarean-delivered preterm pigs (92% of gestation) that received TPN with GLP-2 (25 nmol.kg(-1).day(-1) iv; n = 8) or saline (n = 7) for 6 days after birth. Responses to GLP-2 were assessed by measuring intestinal dimensions, absorption of nutrients (glucose, leucine, lysine, proline) by intact tissues and brush border membrane vesicles, and abundance of sodium-glucose cotransporter mRNA. Infusion of GLP-2 increased circulating GLP-2 levels in fetuses, but did not increase intestinal mass or absorption of nutrients by intact tissues and brush border membrane vesicles, except for lysine. Administration of exogenous GLP-2 to preterm TPN-fed pigs similarly did not increase rates of nutrient absorption, yet nutrient absorption capacities of the entire small intestine tended to increase (+10-20%, P < 0.10) compared with TPN alone due to increased intestinal mass (+30%, P < 0.05). GLP-2 infusion did not increase sodium-glucose cotransporter-1 mRNA abundance in fetuses or postnatal preterm pigs. Hence, the efficacy of exogenous GLP-2 to improve nutrient absorption by the intestine of fetal and preterm pigs is limited compared with term pigs and more mature animals and humans.  相似文献

The presence of glucose in the intestinal lumen elicits a number of changes in gastrointestinal function, including inhibition of gastric emptying and food intake and stimulation of pancreatic and intestinal secretion. The present study tested the hypothesis that Na(+)-glucose cotransporter (SGLT)-3, a member of the SGLT family of transport proteins, is involved in detection of luminal glucose in the intestine. Gastric emptying, measured in awake rats, was significantly inhibited by perfusion of the intestine with glucose (60 and 90 mg); this effect was mimicked by alpha-methyl glucose (nonmetabolizable substrate of SGLT-1 and -3) but not 2-deoxy-d-glucose (substrate for GLUT-2) or isoosmotic mannitol. Gastric motility and intestinal fluid secretion, measured in anesthetised rats, were significantly inhibited and stimulated, respectively, by duodenal glucose but not galactose, which has a much lower affinity for SGLT-3 than glucose. Duodenal glucose but not galactose stimulated the release of 5-HT into mesenteric lymph and stimulated the discharge of duodenal vagal afferent fibers. mRNA for SGLT-3 was identified in the duodenal mucosa. Together these data suggest that detection of glucose in the intestine may involve SGLT-3, possibly expressed by enterochromaffin cells in the intestinal mucosa, and release of 5-HT.  相似文献

In chickens, elevated environmental temperature reduces food intake. We have previously reported that, during heat stress, the intestinal mucosa has an increased capacity to take up sugars. To investigate whether the effects of warm environment on sugar uptake are an intestinal adaptation to lower energy intake or a response attributable to heat stress, we examined the glucose transport kinetics of apical and basolateral membranes of the jejunum and the mucosal morphology of broiler chickens maintained in climatic chambers for 2 wk. Experimental groups were 1) control ad libitum (CAL), fed ad libitum and in thermoneutral conditions (20 degrees C); 2) heat stress ad libitum (HSAL), fed ad libitum and kept in a heated environment (30 degrees C); and 3) control pair-fed (CPF), maintained in thermoneutral conditions and fed the same amount of food as that consumed by the HSAL group. Both the CPF and the HSAL groups showed reduced body weight gain, but only the HSAL chickens had lower plasma thyroid hormones and higher corticosterone than CAL and CPF groups. The fresh weight and length of the jejunum were only reduced in the HSAL group. The activity and expression of apical sodium-dependent glucose transporter 1 (SGLT-1) were increased by approximately 50% in the HSAL chickens, without effects in the CPF group. No changes in K(d) or in SGLT-1 and glucose transporter-2 K(m) were observed in the pair-fed and heated birds. These results support the view that increased intestinal hexose transport capacity is entirely dependent on adaptations of apical SGLT-1 expression to heat stress and is not due to reduced food intake.  相似文献

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is known to be upregulated by hypoxia in vitro. However, in vivo data about VEGF regulation in chronic hypoxic diseases are conflicting. We investigated the effects of hypoxia on plasma VEGF concentration in healthy subjects. To control known confounders, such as insulin, glucose concentrations, or exercise, hypoxic effects on VEGF were studied during experimentally clamping glucose concentrations at rest. In a double-blind crossover study design, we induced hypoxia for 30 min by decreasing oxygen saturation to 75% (vs. normoxic control) in 14 healthy men. Plasma VEGF concentration was determined at baseline, immediately after hypoxia had ended, and after a further 150 min. Levels of its soluble (s)Flt-1 receptor were assessed at baseline and at the end of the clamp. In parallel, catecholamine and cortisol levels were monitored. To investigate potential effects of glucose administration on the release of VEGF, we performed a third session, reducing glucose infusion for 30 min while serum insulin was held stable thereby inducing hypoglycemia. Hypoxia decreased VEGF levels compared with the normoxic control (P<0.05). VEGF concentrations increased during hypoglycemia (P<0.02) but were comparable to the normoglycemic control at the end of the clamp (P>0.80). sFlt-1 receptor concentration remained unchanged during hypoxia and hypoglycemia compared with control (both P>0.4). Epinephrine concentration (P<0.01) increased upon hypoxia, whereas norepinephrine and cortisol did not change. Contrary to in vitro studies, in healthy humans hypoxia decreases plasma VEGF concentration, suggesting that systemic VEGF concentration may be differently regulated than the expression on cellular basis.  相似文献

The effect of epidermal growth factor (EGF) on the cellular and villous distribution of the sugar transporter SGLT-1 was examined. New Zealand White rabbits (1 kg) were anesthetized, and two jejunal blind loops were isolated and exposed to either 0.9% saline or EGF (60 ng/mL saline), for 1 h. In separate experiments, tissue was harvested for brush border membrane vesicles (BBMV), microsomal membranes, or fixed for immunohistochemistry. SGLT-1 was measured in membrane fractions by Western immunoblot or localized along the villus-crypt axis by immunofluorescent microscopy. EGF increased BBMV SGLT-1 content compared with paired controls. EGF stimulation also induced a corresponding decrease in microsomal SGLT-1 levels and induced the expression of additional SGLT-1 immunoreactivity further down the villus axis. The findings suggest that EGF upregulates intestinal glucose transport by stimulating the translocation of SGLT-1 from an internal microsomal pool into the brush border, thereby recruiting more villus enterocytes into the glucose transporting population.  相似文献

Postprandial secretion of insulin and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) is differentially regulated by not only dietary carbohydrate but also fat. Recent studies have shown that the ingestion of diacylglycerol (DAG) results in lower postprandial insulin and GIP release than that of triacylglycerol (TAG), suggesting a possible mechanism for the antiobesity effect of DAG. The structural and metabolic characteristics of DAG are believed to be responsible for its beneficial effects. This study was designed to clarify the effect of 1-monoacylglycerol [oleic acid-rich (1-MO)], the characteristic metabolite of DAG, on postprandial insulin and GIP secretion, and the underlying mechanism. Dietary 1-MO dose dependently stimulated whole body fat utilization, and reduced high-fat diet-induced body weight gain and visceral fat accumulation in mice, both of which are consistent with the physiological effect of dietary DAG. Although glucose-stimulated insulin and GIP release was augmented by the addition of fat, coingestion of 1-MO reduced the postprandial hormone release in a dose-dependent manner. Either glucose or fatty acid transport into the everted intestinal sacs and enteroendocrine HuTu-80 cells was also reduced by the addition of 1-MO. Reduction of either glucose or fatty acid transport or the nutrient-stimulated GIP release by 1-MO was nullified when the intestine was pretreated with sodium-glucose cotransporter-1 (SGLT-1) or fatty acid translocase (FAT)/CD36 inhibitor. We conclude that dietary 1-MO attenuates postprandial GIP and insulin secretion by reducing the intestinal transport of the GIP secretagogues, which may be mediated via SGLT-1 and FAT/CD36. Reduced secretion of these anabolic hormones by 1-MO may be related to the antiobesity effect of DAG.  相似文献

Mechanisms responsible for increased jejunal transport rates observed in tissues treated with orally administered insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) were studied in 5-day-old colostrum-deprived piglets. Human recombinant IGF-I (3.5 mg. kg(-1). day(-1)) or control vehicle was given orogastrically for 4 days. Disaccharidase activity, fructose uptake, and Na+-glucose cotransporter SGLT-1 protein abundance were similar between groups. Oral IGF-I produced greater rates of enterocyte Na+-K+-ATPase activity with no significant differences in Na+-K+-ATPase abundance. Cellular mechanisms responsible for transport changes were studied in Ussing chambers. In control tissues, the presence of IGF-I in mucosal solutions increased basal short-circuit current (I(sc)), potential difference, D-glucose-stimulated I(sc), and Na+-K+-ATPase activity; these changes were abolished by preincubation of tissues with wortmannin, a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) inhibitor. The results suggest that the effect of IGF-I on jejunal ion and nutrient transport involves activation of PI 3-kinase and stimulation of Na+-K+-ATPase activity in enterocytes.  相似文献

Hypoxia, via stabilization of HIF2α, regulates the expression of the intestinal iron transporters DMT1 and ferroportin. Here we investigated whether the intestinal copper importer Ctr1 was also regulated by hypoxia. Copper uptake and Ctr1 mRNA expression were significantly increased in Caco-2 cells exposed to hypoxia. To determine whether HIF2α was involved in regulation of Ctr1 expression, we employed three models of HIF2α knockdown (chemical suppression of HIF2α translation in Caco-2 cells; HIF2α-siRNA-treated HuTu80 cells; HIF2α-intestinal knockout mice); Ctr1 mRNA expression was decreased in all three models under normoxic conditions. HIF2α translational inhibitor did not alter Ctr1 expression under hypoxic conditions. We conclude that basal expression of Ctr1 is regulated by HIF2α; however, the induction by hypoxia is a HIF2α-independent event.  相似文献

Hagfish feed by immersing themselves in the body cavities of decaying animals. This ensures a rich nutrient source for absorption via the gills, skin, and gut, but it may also subject hagfish to reduced levels of dissolved oxygen and elevated levels of the products of biological degradation. This study investigated the impacts of hypoxia and ammonia on the assimilation and metabolism of selected nutrients (glycine, l-alanine, and glucose) in Pacific hagfish (Eptatretus stoutii). Throughout exposure to hypoxia, plasma glucose levels increased. This was not accompanied by an increase in gut glucose transport, which suggests mobilization of glucose from body glycogen stores. Hypoxia preexposure enhanced glycine absorption across the gut and the gill, although l-alanine uptake was unchanged in these tissues. A 24-h period of exposure to hypoxia in hagfish concurrently exposed to waterborne radio-labeled glycine led to a large (5.7-fold) increase in brain glycine accumulation. Preexposure to high levels of waterborne ammonia (10 mM) for 24 h had no impact on gut or skin glycine uptake. These results indicate that hagfish are adapted to maintain nutrient assimilation despite environmental stressors and that tissue-specific absorption of key nutrients such as glycine can even be enhanced in order to sustain critical functions during hypoxia.  相似文献

Metabolic rewiring is an established hallmark of cancer, but the details of this rewiring at a systems level are not well characterized. Here we acquire this insight in a melanoma cell line panel by tracking metabolic flux using isotopically labeled nutrients. Metabolic profiling and flux balance analysis were used to compare normal melanocytes to melanoma cell lines in both normoxic and hypoxic conditions. All melanoma cells exhibited the Warburg phenomenon; they used more glucose and produced more lactate than melanocytes. Other changes were observed in melanoma cells that are not described by the Warburg phenomenon. Hypoxic conditions increased fermentation of glucose to lactate in both melanocytes and melanoma cells (the Pasteur effect). However, metabolism was not strictly glycolytic, as the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle was functional in all melanoma lines, even under hypoxia. Furthermore, glutamine was also a key nutrient providing a substantial anaplerotic contribution to the TCA cycle. In the WM35 melanoma line glutamine was metabolized in the "reverse" (reductive) direction in the TCA cycle, particularly under hypoxia. This reverse flux allowed the melanoma cells to synthesize fatty acids from glutamine while glucose was primarily converted to lactate. Altogether, this study, which is the first comprehensive comparative analysis of metabolism in melanoma cells, provides a foundation for targeting metabolism for therapeutic benefit in melanoma.  相似文献

Sodium glucose cotransporters (SGLT) actively catalyse carbohydrate transport across cellular membranes. Six of the 12 known SGLT family members have the capacity to bind and/or transport monosaccharides (SGLT-1 to 6); of these, all but SGLT-5 have been characterised. Here we demonstrate that human SGLT-5 is exclusively expressed in the kidney. Four splice variants were detected and the most abundant SGLT-5-mRNA was functionally characterised. SGLT-5 mediates sodium-dependent [(14)C]-α-methyl-D-glucose (AMG) transport that can be inhibited by mannose, fructose, glucose, and galactose. Uptake studies using demonstrated high capacity transport for mannose and fructose and, to a lesser extent, glucose, AMG, and galactose. SGLT-5 mediated mannose, fructose and AMG transport was weakly (μM potency) inhibited by SGLT-2 inhibitors. In summary, we have characterised SGLT-5 as a kidney mannose transporter. Further studies are warranted to explore the physiological role of SGLT-5.  相似文献

AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) plays a critical role in the stimulation of glucose transport in response to hypoxia and inhibition of oxidative phosphorylation. In the present study, we examined the signaling pathway(s) mediating the glucose transport response following activation of AMPK. Using mouse fibroblasts of AMPK wild type and AMPK knockout, we documented that the expression of AMPK is essential for the glucose transport response to both azide and 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-1-beta-d-ribofuranoside (AICAR). In Clone 9 cells, the stimulation of glucose transport by a combination of azide and AICAR was not additive, whereas there was an additive increase in the abundance of phosphorylated AMPK (p-AMPK). In Clone 9 cells, AMPK wild-type fibroblasts, and H9c2 heart cells, azide or hypoxia selectively increased p-ERK1/2, whereas, in contrast, AICAR selectively stimulated p-p38; phosphorylation of JNK was unaffected. Azide's effect on p-ERK1/2 abundance and glucose transport in Clone 9 cells was partially abolished by the MEK1/2 inhibitor U0126. SB 203580, an inhibitor of p38, prevented the phosphorylation of p38 and the glucose transport response to AICAR and, unexpectedly, to azide. Hypoxia, azide, and AICAR all led to increased phosphorylation of Akt substrate of 160 kDa (AS160) in Clone 9 cells. Employing small interference RNA directed against AS160 did not inhibit the glucose transport response to azide or AICAR, whereas the content of P-AS160 was reduced by approximately 80%. Finally, we found no evidence for coimmunoprecipitation of Glut1 and p-AS160. We conclude that although azide, hypoxia, and AICAR all activate AMPK, the downstream signaling pathways are distinct, with azide and hypoxia stimulating ERK1/2 and AICAR stimulating the p38 pathway.  相似文献

The crayfish industry in Louisiana is the largest in the United States, with crayfish frequently harvested from waters that experience episodic or chronic hypoxia (dissolved oxygen [DO]≤ 2 mg/l). We examined physiological biomarkers (hemolymph lactate, glucose, and protein concentrations) of hypoxic stress in the red swamp crayfish Procambarus clarkii from chronically hypoxic natural habitats and laboratory hypoxia experiments. P. clarkii from normoxic and hypoxic areas in the Atchafalaya River Basin were sampled monthly from April to July 2010. Laboratory experiments subjected P. clarkii to severe hypoxia (1 mg/l DO), moderate hypoxia (2 mg/l DO), or normoxic conditions (control: DO>7.5 mg/l) for 12, 24, and 48 h. P. clarkii from normoxic and hypoxic natural habitats did not display significantly different hemolymph lactate or glucose concentrations; however, mean hemolymph protein concentration was significantly lower in crayfish from hypoxic areas. P. clarkii exposed to severe hypoxia in laboratory experiments had significantly higher hemolymph lactate and glucose concentrations for all three exposure times, whereas large differences in protein concentrations were not observed. These results suggest that elevated hemolymph lactate and glucose concentrations are responses to acute hypoxia in P. clarkii, while differences in protein concentrations are the result of chronic hypoxic exposure.  相似文献

Intestinal function in young animals is influenced by maternal factors, such as alterations in the maternal diet. Glucagon-like peptide 2 (GLP-2) enhances intestinal growth and absorption in mature animals. Glucocorticosteroids induce intestinal maturation in neonates and increase sugar uptake in adult animals. It is not known if maternally administered GLP-2 or glucocorticosteroids have persistent effects on intestinal transport in the offspring. This study was undertaken to determine (1) the influence of maternal GLP-2, dexamethasone (DEX) and GLP-2+DEX on intestinal sugar uptake in postweaning offspring and (2) if alterations in uptake are due to variations in intestinal morphology, sugar transporter abundance or the abundance of selected signals. Nursing rat dams were treated during pregnancy and lactation with GLP-2 (0.1 mug/g per day sc), DEX (0.128 microg/g per day sc), GLP-2+DEX or placebo. The offspring were sacrificed 4 weeks after weaning, and glucose and fructose uptake was determined using an in vitro intestinal ring uptake technique. sodium-dependent glucose transporter, glucose transporter (GLUT) 5, GLUT2, sodium potassium adenosine triphosphatase and selected signals were assessed by immunohistochemistry. The treatments did not affect body weights or intestinal morphology. GLP-2 and GLP-2+DEX increased jejunal fructose uptake, and GLP-2+DEX increased the jejunal and ileal maximal transport rate for glucose uptake. Protein kinase B and mammalian target of rapamycin abundance were also increased, while transporter abundance was unchanged. We speculate that these alterations in sugar uptake may be due to changes in the intrinsic activity of the transporters mediated by the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase pathway. These alterations in uptake may have nutritional implications for the offspring of mothers who may be treated with GLP-2 or glucocorticosteroids.  相似文献

The effects of aldosterone and arginine vasotocin (AVT) on intestinal Na(+)/H(+) exchange (NHE) and Na(+)-sugar cotransport (SGLT-1) activities have been investigated using brush-border membrane vesicles isolated from Hubbard chicken small and large intestines, and they were compared with those induced by either Na(+) depletion or dehydration. Na(+) depletion was induced by feeding the chickens with either a low- or a high-Na(+) diet for either 0.5, 1, 2, 4, or 8 days. Ileal and colonic NHE2 activity increased with the duration of the Na(+) depletion, whereas that of intestinal SGLT-1 decreased, reaching a plateau after 2 days of treatment. Three-hour incubation of the intestine with aldosterone produced the same effects on NHE activity as does Na(+) depletion, without altering SGLT-1 activity. However, 3-h incubation of the intestine with AVT increased intestinal SGLT-1 activity, without affecting intestinal NHE activity. It is concluded that aldosterone regulates apical ileal and colonic NHE2 activity, whereas that of SGLT-1 is regulated by AVT.  相似文献

Increased lactate appearance and reduced clearance during hypoxia in dogs   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
In order to assess the effects of severe hypoxia on whole body glucose and lactate kinetics, nine experiments were performed on anesthetized, ventilated mongrel dogs. [U-13C]glucose and [1-14C]lactate (n = 5), or [6-14C]glucose and [U-13C]lactate (n = 4) were infused using the primed-continuous infusion method. Cardiac output was measured by thermodilution. After a control period with 21% O2, inspired O2 was reduced for 90 minutes. Three of the experiments resulted in unstable hemodynamics and lactate levels, and are excluded from the mean data. Arterial PO2 fell from a control level of 106.8 +/- 11.9 to 24.2 +/- 3.5 mmHg during the last 45 minutes of hypoxia, and O2 transport fell to 52% of normoxic values. Arterial lactate concentration and the rate of appearance increased by 428% and 182%, respectively, from control to hypoxia. The metabolic clearance rate for lactate fell by 34%. Arterial glucose levels did not change significantly with hypoxia, but the rate of glucose disappearance rose by 70%, and the rate of glucose conversion to lactate increased 3-fold. It is concluded that acute severe hypoxia in anesthetized dogs causes 1) a large increase in arterial lactate levels, but no significant change in glycemia, 2) a large increase in the rate of lactate disappearance and only a small increase in the rate of glucose disappearance and 3) a fall in the metabolic clearance rate of lactate.  相似文献
