ABSTRACT
Objective To establish heterologous expression system of Na+-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) gene.Methods Human SGLT2 cDNA from normal kidney, generated by RT-PCR,was subclonedintoPEXL-GFP vector andtransfectedinto HEK293cells. After 24hours of incubation, the expression of SGLT2-GFP fusion protein was detected by Western blotting and laser confocal microscopy.Transport activity of SGLT2-GFP fusion proteins in cultured human HEK293 cells was evaluated with the uptake test of glucose analogue.ResultsSGLT2-GFP fusion protein was expressed in cultured human HEK293 cells.Furthermore, confocal microscopy using green fluorescent protein(GFP) revealed a punctate membrane pattern of SGLT2.Glucose analogue uptake increased in HEK293 cells transfected with SGLT2-GFP at least by 3.5 folds compared with HEK293 cells transfected with GFP vector only(P<0.01).Conclusion Heterologous expression of SGLT2 gene in HEK293 cells is successfully established, which provides valuable approach for the functional and pathological study of SGLT2 gene.
