Abstract
- Hyperglycemia is associated with decreased Mg <superscript>2+</superscript> content in red blood cells (RBC), but mechanisms remain unclear. We characterized the regulation of Mg <superscript>2+</superscript> efflux by glucose in ex vivo human RBC. We observed that hemoglobin A <subscript>1C</subscript> (HbA <subscript>1C</subscript> ) values correlated with Na <superscript>+</superscript> -dependent Mg <superscript>2+</superscript> efflux (Na <superscript>+</superscript> /Mg <superscript>2+</superscript> exchange) and inversely correlated with cellular Mg content. Treatment of cells with 50 mM D-glucose, but not with sorbitol, lowered total cellular Mg (2.2 ± 0.1 to 2.0 ± 0.1 mM, p < 0.01) and enhanced Na <superscript>+</superscript> /Mg <superscript>2+</superscript> exchange activity [0.60 ± 0.09 to 1.12 ± 0.09 mmol/10 <superscript>13</superscript> cell × h (flux units, FU), p < 0.05]. In contrast, incubation with selective Src family kinase inhibitors PP2 or SU6656 reduced glucose-stimulated exchange activation ( p < 0.01). Na <superscript>+</superscript> /Mg <superscript>2+</superscript> exchange activity was also higher in RBC from individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D, 1.19 ± 0.13 FU) than from non-diabetic individuals (0.58 ± 0.05 FU, p < 0.01). Increased Na <superscript>+</superscript> /Mg <superscript>2+</superscript> exchange activity in RBC from T2D subjects was associated with lower intracellular Mg content. Similarly increased exchange activity was evident in RBC from the diabetic db / db mouse model as compared to its non-diabetic control ( p < 0.03). Extracellular exposure of intact RBC from T2D subjects to recombinant peptidyl-N-glycosidase F (PNGase F) reduced Na <superscript>+</superscript> /Mg <superscript>2+</superscript> exchange activity from 0.98 ± 0.14 to 0.59 ± 0.13 FU ( p < 0.05) and increased baseline intracellular Mg content (1.8 ± 0.1 mM) to normal values (2.1 ± 0.1 mM, p < 0.05). These data suggest that the reduced RBC Mg content of T2D RBC reflects enhanced RBC Na <superscript>+</superscript> /Mg <superscript>2+</superscript> exchange subject to regulation by Src family kinases and by the N-glycosylation state of one or more membrane proteins. The data extend our understanding of dysregulated RBC Mg <superscript>2+</superscript> homeostasis in T2D.<br />Competing Interests: Authors JW and JD were employed by the company Quest Diagnostics.
