SGLT2-inhibitors; more than just glycosuria and diuresis.

ABSTRACT: Heart failure (HF) continues to be a serious public health challenge despite significant advancements in therapeutics and is often complicated by multiple other comorbidities. Of particular concern is type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) which not only amplifies the risk, but also limits the treatment options available to patients. The sodium-glucose linked cotransporter subtype 2 (SGLT2)-inhibitor class, which was initially developed as a treatment for T2DM, has shown great promise in reducing cardiovascular risk, particularly around HF outcomes - regardless of diabetes status.There are ongoing efforts to elucidate the true mechanism of action of this novel drug class. Its primary mechanism of inducing glycosuria and diuresis from receptor blockade in the renal nephron seems unlikely to be responsible for the rapid and striking benefits seen in clinical trials. Early mechanistic work around conventional therapeutic targets seem to be inconclusive. There are some emerging theories around its effect on myocardial energetics and calcium balance as well as on renal physiology. In this review, we discuss some of the cutting-edge hypotheses and concepts currently being explored around this drug class in an attempt better understand the molecular mechanics of this novel agent.

SGLT2 inhibitors and zebrafish

Project description:The CANVAS program revealed that the SGLT2 inhibitor canagliflozin increases the risk for lower-limb (minor) amputations in type 2 diabetics about a two-fold. On the contrary, the large RCTs with empagliflozin and dapagliflozin did not demonstrate a similar observation. Thus, a question arises whether the increased risk for minor amputations is associated only with canagliflozin or whether it is a class effect of SGLT2 inhibitors. Vascular disorders including defective angiogenesis are among the leading causes of lower-limb amputations. Therefore, here we examined the effects of empagliflozin, dapagliflozin, and canagliflozin on angiogenesis using zebrafish embryos and HUVECs.

Role of Glycosuria in SGLT2 Inhibitor-Induced Cardiorenal Protection: A Mechanistic Analysis of the CREDENCE Trial.

Project description:SGLT2 inhibitors have been shown to provide pronounced reductions in cardiorenal outcomes, including cardiovascular death, heart failure, and renal failure. The mechanisms underlying these benefits remain uncertain. We hypothesized that the effects could be attributed to the elevated glycosuria induced by these drugs. Urine concentrations of glucose, creatinine, and ketones were measured at baseline and after 1 year of treatment with either placebo or canagliflozin 100 mg/day, in approximately 2,600 individuals from the Canagliflozin and Renal Events in Diabetes with Established Nephropathy Clinical Evaluation (CREDENCE) trial (enrolling patients with type 2 diabetes, chronic kidney disease (CKD), and albuminuria). Associations between glycosuria and the primary composite end point from CREDENCE, and secondary outcomes were assessed using Cox proportional hazards models. Canagliflozin treatment increased fractional urinary glucose excretion (± SD) from 3 ± 9% at baseline to 30 ± 26% at year 1 (vs. 5 ± 19% with placebo; P < 0.001). Patients in the canagliflozin arm and in the top quartile of urine glucose to creatinine ratio at year 1 were significantly protected for the primary end point (hazard ratio [HR] 0.42; 95% CI 0.30-0.61); similar results were seen for cases of hospitalized heart failure (HR 0.45; 95% CI 0.27-0.73) and all-cause death (HR 0.56; 95% CI 0.39-0.80). These associations persisted when adjustments were made for multiple conventional risk factors. Among patients with type 2 diabetes and CKD treated with canagliflozin, individuals with the highest glycosuria levels had the strongest protection against multiple cardiorenal outcomes.Article highlights

Osmotic diuresis by SGLT2 inhibition stimulates vasopressin-induced water reabsorption to maintain body fluid volume.

Project description:Most of the filtered glucose is reabsorbed in the early proximal tubule by the sodium-glucose cotransporter SGLT2. The glycosuric effect of the SGLT2 inhibitor ipragliflozin is linked to a diuretic and natriuretic effect that activates compensatory increases in fluid and food intake to stabilize body fluid volume (BFV). However, the compensatory mechanisms that are activated on the level of renal tubules remain unclear. Type 2 diabetic Goto-Kakizaki (GK) rats were treated with vehicle or 0.01% (in diet) ipragliflozin with free access to fluid and food. After 8 weeks, GK rats were placed in metabolic cages for 24-hr. Ipragliflozin decreased body weight, serum glucose and systolic blood pressure, and increased fluid and food intake, urinary glucose and Na+ excretion, urine volume, and renal osmolar clearance, as well as urine vasopressin and solute-free water reabsorption (TcH2O). BFV, measured by bioimpedance spectroscopy, and fluid balance were similar among the two groups. Urine vasopressin in ipragliflozin-treated rats was negatively and positively associated with fluid balance and TcH2O, respectively. Ipragliflozin increased the renal membrane protein expression of SGLT2, aquaporin (AQP) 2 phosphorylated at Ser269 and vasopressin V2 receptor. The expression of SGLT1, GLUT2, AQP1, and AQP2 was similar between the groups. In conclusion, the SGLT2 inhibitor ipragliflozin induced a sustained glucosuria, diuresis, and natriuresis, with compensatory increases in fluid intake and vasopressin-induced TcH2O in proportion to the reduced fluid balance to maintain BFV. These results indicate that the osmotic diuresis induced by SGLT2 inhibition stimulates compensatory fluid intake and renal water reabsorption to maintain BFV.

SGLT2 inhibitor lowers serum uric acid through alteration of uric acid transport activity in renal tubule by increased glycosuria.

Project description:Sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have been reported to lower the serum uric acid (SUA) level. To elucidate the mechanism responsible for this reduction, SUA and the urinary excretion rate of uric acid (UE(UA)) were analysed after the oral administration of luseogliflozin, a SGLT2 inhibitor, to healthy subjects. After dosing, SUA decreased, and a negative correlation was observed between the SUA level and the UE(UA), suggesting that SUA decreased as a result of the increase in the UE(UA). The increase in UE(UA) was correlated with an increase in urinary D-glucose excretion, but not with the plasma luseogliflozin concentration. Additionally, in vitro transport experiments showed that luseogliflozin had no direct effect on the transporters involved in renal UA reabsorption. To explain that the increase in UE(UA) is likely due to glycosuria, the study focused on the facilitative glucose transporter 9 isoform 2 (GLUT9ΔN, SLC2A9b), which is expressed at the apical membrane of the kidney tubular cells and transports both UA and D-glucose. It was observed that the efflux of [(14) C]UA in Xenopus oocytes expressing the GLUT9 isoform 2 was trans-stimulated by 10 mm D-glucose, a high concentration of glucose that existed under SGLT2 inhibition. On the other hand, the uptake of [(14) C]UA by oocytes was cis-inhibited by 100 mm D-glucose, a concentration assumed to exist in collecting ducts. In conclusion, it was demonstrated that the UE(UA) could potentially be increased by luseogliflozin-induced glycosuria, with alterations of UA transport activity because of urinary glucose.

Development of SGLT1 and SGLT2 inhibitors.

Project description:Sodium-glucose cotransporters SGLT1 (encoded by SGLT1, also known as SLC5A1) and SGLT2 (encoded by SGLT2, also known as SLC5A2) are important mediators of epithelial glucose transport. While SGLT1 accounts for most of the dietary glucose uptake in the intestine, SGLT2 is responsible for the majority of glucose reuptake in the tubular system of the kidney, with SGLT1 reabsorbing the remainder of the filtered glucose. As a consequence, mutations in the SLC5A1 gene cause glucose/galactose malabsorption, whereas mutations in SLC5A2 are associated with glucosuria. Since the cloning of SGLT1 more than 30 years ago, big strides have been made in our understanding of these transporters and their suitability as drug targets. Phlorizin, a naturally occurring competitive inhibitor of SGLT1 and SGLT2, provided the first insights into potential efficacy, but its use was hampered by intestinal side effects and a short half-life. Nevertheless, it was a starting point for the development of specific inhibitors of SGLT1 and SGLT2, as well as dual SGLT1/2 inhibitors. Since the approval of the first SGLT2 inhibitor in 2013 by the US Food and Drug Administration, SGLT2 inhibitors have become a new mainstay in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. They also have beneficial effects on the cardiovascular system (including heart failure) and the kidney. This review focuses on the rationale for the development of individual SGLT2 and SGLT1 inhibitors, as well as dual SGLT1/2 inhibition, including, but not limited to, aspects of genetics, genetically modified mouse models, mathematical modelling and general considerations of drug discovery in the field of metabolism.

Benefits of SGLT2 inhibitors in arrhythmias.

Project description:Some studies have shown that sodium-glucose cotransporter (SGLT) 2 inhibitors can definitively attenuate the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases such as heart failure (HF), dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), and myocardial infarction. With the development of research, SGLT2 inhibitors can also reduce the risk of arrhythmias. So in this review, how SGLT2 inhibitors play a role in reducing the risk of arrhythmia from the perspective of electrical remodeling and structural remodeling are explored and then the possible mechanisms are discussed. Specifically, we focus on the role of SGLT2 inhibitors in Na+ and Ca2 + homeostasis and the transients of Na+ and Ca2 +, which could affect electrical remodeling and then lead to arrythmia. We also discuss the protective role of SGLT2 inhibitors in structural remodeling from the perspective of fibrosis, inflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis. Ultimately, it is clear that SGLT2 inhibitors have significant benefits on cardiovascular diseases such as HF, myocardial hypertrophy and myocardial infarction. It can be expected that SGLT2 inhibitors can reduce the risk of arrhythmia.

Comparison of incident hypertension between SGLT2 inhibitors vs. DPP4 inhibitors.

Project description:Although several randomized clinical trials have reported the potential benefit of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) in reducing blood pressure (BP), whether SGLT2i can reduce incident hypertension is unknown. We analyzed individuals with diabetes who were newly prescribed SGLT2i or dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors (DPP4i) in a large-scale epidemiological database. The primary outcome was the incidence of hypertension. A propensity score matching algorithm was employed to compare the subsequent development of hypertension between the SGLT2i and DPP4i groups. After propensity score matching, 5708 well-balanced pairs of SGLT2i and DPP4i users were identified. SGLT2i administration was associated with a reduced risk of hypertension (HR 0.91, 95% CI: 0.84-0.97). The advantage of SGLT2i use over DPP4i use for incident hypertension was generally consistent in several sensitivity analyses, and subgroup analyses showed that SGLT2i use was significantly associated with a lower risk of hypertension in men, patients with baseline HbA1c of <7.5%, and baseline systolic blood pressure ≥127 mmHg. Our investigation using nationwide real-world data demonstrated the potential advantage of SGLT2i over DPP4i in reducing the development of hypertension in individuals with diabetes.

Safety of four SGLT2 inhibitors in three chronic diseases: A meta-analysis of large randomized trials of SGLT2 inhibitors.

Project description:There are no relevant meta-analyses that have assessed the safety of the sodium-glucose transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors in different chronic diseases. We aimed at evaluating the safety of four SGLT2 inhibitors in three chronic diseases by meta-analysis of the large randomized trials of SGLT2 inhibitors. We performed random-effects meta-analysis and carried out subgroup analysis according to type of underlying diseases and type of SGLT2 inhibitors. SGLT2 inhibitors versus placebo significantly reduced the risk of acute kidney injury (RR 0.75, 95% CI 0.66-0.85), and showed the reduced trend in the risk of severe hypoglycemia (RR 0.86, 95% CI 0.71-1.03). SGLT2 inhibitors significantly increased the risks of diabetic ketoacidosis (RR 2.57), genital infection (RR 3.75), and volume depletion (RR 1.14); and showed the increased trends in the risks of fracture (RR 1.07), amputation (RR 1.21), and urinary tract infection (RR 1.07). These effects exhibited by SGLT2 inhibitors were consistent across three chronic diseases (i.e. type 2 diabetes, chronic heart failure, and chronic kidney disease) and four SGLT2 inhibitors (i.e. dapagliflozin, empagliflozin, ertugliflozin, and canagliflozin) (all Psubgroup > 0.05). These findings will guide that specific adverse events are monitored when SGLT2 inhibitors are used in clinical practice.
