Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In proximal tubular epithelial cells (PTEC) in diabetes, increase in glucose and sodium flux through sodium-glucose cotransporter (SGLT) due to increase in urine glucose causes metabolic stress on these cells. Therefore, roles of thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP), a metabolic stress sensor, in PTEC in progression of diabetic nephropathy should be elucidated. In diabetic STZ mice, blood glucose and urinary albumin increased compared to controls. Protein expression of TXNIP increased in skeletal muscle but did not increased in liver and proximal tubules. In STZ mice, oral administration of SGLT2 inhibitor decreased blood glucose and caused decrease in TXNIP expression in skeletal muscles but did not alter TXNIP expression in liver and proximal tubules.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研研究においてTXNIPが糖尿病の尿細管における代謝ストレスを感知する役割を担っていることが証明されれば、新たな治療ターゲットが提示でき、医療経済的にも重要課題である透析予防において新規治療戦略の構築に貢献できる可能性があった。しかし実験の結果、その関与は否定的であった。本研究によりTXNIPは骨格筋においては代謝障害センサーとして作動する可能性が示唆されたので、更なる研究がすすめば、糖尿病の病態への理解が深まり、新たな治療戦略の端緒となる可能性がある。
