SGLT2 inhibitor ipragliflozin attenuates breast cancer cell proliferation.
Authors: Komatsu S, Nomiyama T, Numata T, Kawanami T, Hamaguchi Y, Iwaya C, Horikawa T, Fujimura-Tanaka Y, Hamanoue N, Motonaga R, Tanabe M, Inoue R, Yanase T, Kawanami D Abstract Cancer is currently one of the major causes of death in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. We previously reported the beneficial effects of the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist exendin-4 against prostate and breast cancer. In the present study, we examined the anti-cancer effect of the sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor ipragliflozin using a breast cancer model. In human breast cancer MCF-7 cells, SGLT2 expressi...

SGLT1 in pancreatic α cells regulates glucagon secretion in mice, possibly explaining the distinct effects of SGLT2 inhibitors on plasma glucagon levels
ConclusionsThese data suggested that a novel mechanism regulated glucagon secretion through SGLT1 in α cells. This finding possibly explained the distinct effects of dapagliflozin and canagliflozin on plasma glucagon levels in mice.

Ipragliflozin improves mitochondrial abnormalities in renal tubules induced by a high ‐fat diet
ConclusionSGLT2 inhibition may act directly on tubular cells and protect kidney tubular cells from mitochondrial damage by metabolic insults regardless of blood glucose levels or improvement in body weight reduction.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
