SGLT2 inhibitor promotes mitochondrial dysfunction and ER-phagy in colorectal cancer cells.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sodium-glucose transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors (iSGLT2) are approved medications for type 2 diabetes. Recent studies indicate that iSGLT2 inhibit the growth of some cancer cells. However, the mechanism(s) remains to be fully elucidated.

Methods

The SGLT2 levels were determined in normal colon CCD 841 CoN and, HCT 116, HT-29, SW480 and LoVo colorectal cancer (CRC) cell lines by quantitative real-time PCR and western blot. The effect of iSGLT2 canagliflozin on cell proliferation was examined using CCK-8, as its role on CRC cells metabolism and tumorigenesis has been evaluated by XF HS Seahorse Bioanalyzer and flow cytometric analyses. Transient gene silencing experiments and analysis of protein-protein interaction network were conducted to evaluate the SGLT2 molecu
