| Research Abstract |
We raised three antipeptide antibodies against three different domains of HepG2 type glucose transporter. These antibodies recognized only 3 and 30 % of all the glucose transporters presnt in rat adipocyte and brain, respectively, suggesting the presence of more that two types of glucose transporter in rat adipocyte and brain. Western blotting of the brain membranes from streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats with these antibodies showed no difference in the glucose transporter amount, compared with normal rats or insulin-treated diabetic rats. In addition, photoaffinity-labeling of glucose transporter with [^3H] cytochalasin B showed no alteration of glucose transporter amount in the brain from diabetic rats. Furthermore, no significant changes in the amount of HepG2 type glucose transporter mRNA was observed in the brain from diabetic rats when Northern blotting was performed with rabbit brain HepG2 type glucose transporter cDNA as a probe. The similar results were observed in the heart from diabetic rats, i. e. no significant changes were observed in the amount of both glucose transporter protein and HepG2 type glucose transporter mRNA compared with normal rats or insulin-treated diabetic rats.
These results showed a remarkable contrast to the results observed in the adipocytes from diabetic rats, indicating that different mechanisms regulate the amount of glucose transporter in different tissues in diabetic state.
