Novel Anti-inflammatory Effects of Canagliflozin Involving Hexokinase II in Lipopolysaccharide-Stimulated Human Coronary Artery Endothelial Cells
ConclusionCana conveys anti-inflammatory actions in LPS-treated HCAECs through 1) reductions in HKII and ERK1/2 phosphorylation and 2) AMPK activation. These data suggest a novel anti-inflammatory mechanism of Cana through HKII.

Dapagliflozin alleviates cardiac fibrosis through suppressing EndMT and fibroblast activation via AMPK α/TGF-β/Smad signalling in type 2 diabetic rats
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of SGLT2 inhibitor dapagliflozin (DAPA) on DCM especially for cardiac fibrosis and explore the underlying mechanism. In vivo, the model of type 2 diabetic rats was built with high-fat feeding and streptozotocin injection. Untreated diabetic rats showed cardiac dysfunction, increased myocardial fibrosis and EndMT, which was attenuated after treatment with DAPA and metformin. In vitro, HUVECs and primary cardiac fibroblasts were treated with DAPA and exposed to high glucose (HG). HG-induced EndMT in HUVECs and collagen secretion of fibroblasts were markedly inhibited by DAPA. Up-regula...

Inhibition of the glucose transporter SGLT2 with dapagliflozin in pancreatic alpha cells triggers glucagon secretion
Nature Medicine 21, 512 (2015). doi:10.1038/nm.3828 Authors: Caroline Bonner, Julie Kerr-Conte, Valéry Gmyr, Gurvan Queniat, Ericka Moerman, Julien Thévenet, Cédric Beaucamps, Nathalie Delalleau, Iuliana Popescu, Willy J Malaisse, Abdullah Sener, Benoit Deprez, Amar Abderrahmani, Bart Staels & François Pattou Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is characterized by chronic hyperglycemia resulting from a deficiency in insulin signaling, because of insulin resistance and/or defects in insulin secretion; it is also associated with increases in glucagon and endogenous glucose production (EGP). Gliflozins, incl...
