MC dysfunction arises from excessive glucose uptake through insulin-independent glucose transporter (GLUT1). The role of the insulin-dependent transporter (GLUT4) remains unknown. This study evaluated the effect of high glucose on GLUT1, GLUT4, and fibronectin expression levels. Glucose uptake was determined in the absence and presence of insulin. Angiotensin II has been implicated as a mediator of MC abnormalities in DN, and its effects on the GLUTs expression were evaluated in the presence of losartan. MCs were exposed to normal (NG, 10 m M) or high (HG, 30 m M) glucose for 1, 4, 12, 24, and 72 hrs. Glucose uptake was elevated from 1 hr up to 24 hrs of HG, but returned to NG levels after 72 hrs. HG induced an early (1-, 4-, and 12-hrs) rise in GLUT1 expression, returning to NG levels after 72 hrs, whereas GLUT4 was overexpressed at later timepoints (24 and 72 hrs). HG during 4 hrs induced a 40% rise in glucose uptake, which was unaffected by insulin. In contrast, after 72 hrs, glucose uptake was increased by 50%, only under insulin stimulus. Losartan blunted the effects of HG on GLUT1, GLUT4, and fibronectin expression and on glucose uptake. Results suggest that MCs can be highly susceptible to the HG environment since they uptake glucose in both an insulin-independent and insulin-dependent manner. The beneficial effects of angiotensin II inhibition in DN may also involve a decrease in the rate of glucose uptake by MCs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3181\/0902-rm-50","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,6,22]],"date-time":"2009-06-22T21:55:52Z","timestamp":1245707752000},"page":"1095-1101","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Regulation of Glucose Uptake in Mesangial Cells Stimulated by High Glucose: Role of Angiotensin II and Insulin"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"234","author":[{"given":"Carine P.","family":"Arnoni","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal University of S\u00e3o Paulo, Renal Division, 04023-900, S\u00e3o Paulo, SP, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Carla","family":"Lima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal University of S\u00e3o Paulo, Renal Division, 04023-900, S\u00e3o Paulo, SP, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Priscila C.","family":"Cristovam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal University of S\u00e3o Paulo, Renal Division, 04023-900, S\u00e3o Paulo, SP, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Edgar","family":"Maquigussa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal University of S\u00e3o Paulo, Renal Division, 04023-900, S\u00e3o Paulo, SP, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Daniela B.","family":"Vidotti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal University of S\u00e3o Paulo, Renal Division, 04023-900, S\u00e3o Paulo, SP, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mirian A.","family":"Boim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal University of S\u00e3o Paulo, Renal Division, 04023-900, S\u00e3o Paulo, SP, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,9,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr-R1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Steffes MW, Osterby R, Chavers B, Mauer SM.
