  • Title: Streptozotocin diabetes and the expression of GLUT1 at the brush border and basolateral membranes of intestinal enterocytes.

    Abstract:
    Changes in membrane expression of sodium-dependent glucose transporter (SGLT1) and glucose transporter isoform (GLUT2) protein have been implicated in the increased intestinal glucose transport in streptozotocin-diabetes. The possible involvement of GLUT1 in the transport response, however, has not previously been studied. Using confocal microscopy on tissue sections and Western blotting of purified brush border membrane (BBM) and basolateral membrane (BLM), we have examined enterocyte expression of GLUT1 in untreated and in 1 and 21 day streptozotocin diabetic rats. In control enterocytes, GLUT1 was absent at the BBM and detected at low levels at the BLM. Diabetes resulted in a 4- to 5-fold increased expression of GLUT1 at the BLM and the protein could also be readily detected at the BBM. Insulin treatment of diabetic rats increased GLUT1 level at the BBM but was without effect on expression of the protein at the BLM.
