OBJECTIVE We aimed to characterise the development of autoregulation of glucose transport in vascular endothelial cells and its relationship to 12-lipoxygenase (12-LO) expression. METHODS Bovine aortic endothelial cells were exposed to 5.5 and 23.0 mmol/l glucose for up to 48 h. The rates of glucose transport, GLUT-1 and 12-LO expression and of 12-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (12-HETE) production were determined. RESULTS We showed high glucose-dependent downregulation of glucose transport and transporter in vascular endothelial cells within 36-48 h. A similar time-dependent increase in the expression of 12-LO and the generation of its product 12-HETE was also observed. This downregulatory process was prevented when lipoxygenase activity was inhibited. CONCLUSIONS Vascular endothelial cells, which were previously thought to be "glucose-blind", do in fact downregulate GLUT-1 expression and the rate of glucose transport in response to extended exposure to high glucose concentrations. This slow development of glucose-induced downregulation in vascular endothelial cells is related to the slower basal rate of glucose transport in these cells and the slow induction of 12-LO. These data are interesting in view of current hypotheses that attribute vascular endothelial cell dysfunction in diabetes to the lack of a glucose-induced autoregulatory response.

D006027 Glycosides Any compound that contains a constituent sugar, in which the hydroxyl group attached to the first carbon is substituted by an alcoholic, phenolic, or other group. They are named specifically for the sugar contained, such as glucoside (glucose), pentoside (pentose), fructoside (fructose), etc. Upon hydrolysis, a sugar and nonsugar component (aglycone) are formed.
