Abstract | What mechanisms can link the inhibition of SGLT2-mediated Na+-coupled glucose reabsorption in early proximal tubules to kidney and heart protection in patients with and without type 2 diabetes? Due to physical and functional coupling of SGLT2 to other sodium and metabolite transporters in the early proximal tubule (including NHE3, URAT1), inhibitors of SGLT2 (SGLT2i) reduce reabsorption not only of glucose, inducing osmotic diuresis, but of other metabolites plus of a larger amount of sodium than expected based on SGLT2 inhibition alone, thereby reducing volume retention, hypertension, and hyperuricemia. Metabolic adaptations to SGLT2i include a fasting-like response, with enhanced lipolysis and formation of ketone bodies that serve as additional fuel for kidneys and heart. Making use of the physiology of tubulo-glomerular communication, SGLT2i functionally lower glomerular capillary pressure and filtration rate, thereby reducing physical stress on the glomerular filtration barrier, tubular exposure to albumin and nephrotoxic compounds, and the oxygen demand for reabsorbing the filtered load. Together with reduced gluco-toxicity in the early proximal tubule and better distribution of transport work along the nephron, SGLT2i can preserve tubular integrity and transport function and, thereby, GFR in the long-term. By shifting transport downstream, SGLT2 inhibitors may simulate systemic hypoxia at the oxygen sensors in the deep cortex/outer medulla, which stimulates erythropoiesis and, together with osmotic diuresis, enhances hematocrit and thereby improves oxygen delivery to all organs. The described SGLT2-dependent effects may be complemented by off-target effects of SGLT2i on the heart itself and on the microbiome formation of cardiovascular-effective uremic toxins. |
