ABSTRACT
Objective:
Our aim was to study the concentrations and regulatory characteristics of heparin-binding epidermal growth factor-like factor (HB-EGF) and its functional consequences in inducing the activities of hexokinases (HKs) and net Glc utilization.Methods:
The SV40MES13 cell line was used as cell model for this experiment to measure the total activity of Hks by using a standard G6PDH-coupled assay. The net Glc utilization was measured indirectly as Glc disappearance from the medium using the standard Glc oxidase-coupled reaction(Trinder).Results:
The HB-EGF induced HKs activity in time- and dose-dependent manners and increased the net Glc utilization by SV40MES13 cells.Conclusion:
The HB-EGF plays an important role in pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy by inducing total HKs activity specifically and increases the net Glc utilization in mesangial cells.
