Blood glucose control is the primary strategy to prevent complications in
diabetes. At the onset of kidney disease, therapies that inhibit components of
the renin angiotensin system (RAS) are also indicated, but these approaches are
not wholly effective. Here, we show that once daily administration of the novel
glucose lowering agent, empagliflozin, an SGLT2 inhibitor which targets the
kidney to block glucose reabsorption, has the potential to improve kidney disease
in type 2 diabetes. In male db/db mice, a 10-week treatment with empagliflozin
attenuated the diabetes-induced upregulation of profibrotic gene markers,
fibronectin and transforming-growth-factor-beta. Other molecular (collagen IV and
connective tissue growth factor) and histological (tubulointerstitial total
collagen and glomerular collagen IV accumulation) benefits were seen upon dual
therapy with metformin. Albuminuria, urinary markers of tubule damage (kidney
injury molecule-1, KIM-1 and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, NGAL),
kidney growth, and glomerulosclerosis, however, were not improved with
empagliflozin or metformin, and plasma and intra-renal renin activity was
enhanced with empagliflozin. In this model, blood glucose lowering with
empagliflozin attenuated some molecular and histological markers of fibrosis but,
as per treatment with metformin, did not provide complete renoprotection. Further
research to refine the treatment regimen in type 2 diabetes and nephropathy is
warranted.
