ABSTRACT
<p><b>AIM</b>To investigate the alterations of taurine transport, and taurine transporter (TAUT) mRNA by hyperglycemia in cultured rat cardiomyocytes.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>3H-taurine measured the amount of taurine uptake. TAUT mRNA consents were measured using quantitative RT-PCR.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The cellular uptake amounts of taurine in seven groups increased with incubation time, and near to be saturated after 5 min. The uptake amount of 10, 20, and 30 mmol/L glucose groups was obviously lower than that of the control group (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). In 30 mmmol/L glucose, taurine release obviously was decreased, as compared with that of the control. Exposure of cells to 10, 20, and 30 mmmol/L glucose decreased taurine uptake in a concentration-dependent fashion. Exposure to hyperglycemia did not affect the Km of the TAUT, but the apparent Vmax were significantly decreased (P < 0.05). In 20 and 30 mmmol/L groups, TAUT mRNA contents of myocardial cells were significantly reduced, as compared with the control group (P < 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The data suggests that there are dysfunction of taurine uptake and downregulation of TAUT gene expression by glucose in cultured rat cardiomyocytes.</p>
