High fructose consumption is considered to be related to the increasing prevalence of hyperuricemia (HUA). Glucose transporters (GLUT) 2 and 5 are crucial for fructose absorption and transporter. Effects of anti-HUA drugs, allopurinol (API) and benzbromarone (BBR), on expressions of GLUT5 and GLUT2 are not evaluated.
Wistar rats were given 10% fructose in drinking water for 60 days to induce HUA, and 5mg/kg API and 10mg/kg BBR were intragastricly treated for 30 days. Serum level of uric acid and xanthine oxidase (XOD) activity in liver were determined. Expressions of GLUT2 and GLUT5 in intestine were analyzed by immunohistochemistry staining assay and Western blot assay.
Treatment with API or BBR significantly decreased the serum level of uric acid in HUA rats induced by fructose. Meanwhile, API treatment significantly reduced the XOD activity in liver and GLUT5 expression in intestine. However, BBR treatment did not show inhibitory effects on hepatic XOD activity and intestinal GLUT5 expression. In addition, treatment with API or BBR did not show any effect on GLUT2 expression in intestine.
API decreases serum level of uric acid in fructose-induced HUA rats. The mechanisms are associated with suppressing XOD activity in liver to reduce uric acid production, and inhibiting GLUT5 expression in intestine to reduce fructose absorption.
高果糖摄入被认为与高尿酸血症(HUA)患病率的增加有关。葡萄糖转运蛋白(GLUT)2和5对果糖的吸收和转运至关重要。抗HUA药物别嘌醇(API)和苯溴马隆(BBR)对GLUT5和GLUT2表达的影响尚未评估。
给Wistar大鼠饮用含10%果糖的水60天以诱导HUA,然后分别用5mg/kg API和10mg/kg BBR灌胃治疗30天。测定血清尿酸水平和肝脏中的黄嘌呤氧化酶(XOD)活性。通过免疫组织化学染色法和蛋白质印迹法分析肠道中GLUT2和GLUT5的表达。
用API或BBR治疗可显著降低果糖诱导的HUA大鼠的血清尿酸水平。同时,API治疗可显著降低肝脏中的XOD活性和肠道中的GLUT5表达。然而,BBR治疗对肝脏XOD活性和肠道GLUT5表达没有抑制作用。此外,用API或BBR治疗对肠道中GLUT2的表达没有任何影响。
API可降低果糖诱导的HUA大鼠的血清尿酸水平。其机制与抑制肝脏中的XOD活性以减少尿酸生成,以及抑制肠道中的GLUT5表达以减少果糖吸收有关。
