  • Lack of insulin impairs Mg2+ homeostasis and transport in cardiac cells of streptozotocin-injected diabetic rats. Abstract Text:

    Serum and tissue Mg(2+) content are markedly decreased in diabetic patients and animals. At the tissue level, Mg(2+) loss progresses over time and affects predominantly heart, liver and skeletal muscles. In the present study, alterations in Mg(2+) homeostasis and transport in diabetic cardiac ventricular myocytes were evaluated. Cardiac tissue and isolated cardiac ventricular myocytes from diabetic animals displayed a decrease in total Mg(2+) content that affected all cellular compartments. This decrease was associated with a marked reduction in cellular protein and ATP content. Diabetic ventricular myocytes were unable to mobilize Mg(2+) following beta-adrenergic receptor stimulation or addition of cell permeant cyclic-AMP. Sarcolemma vesicles purified from diabetic animals, however, transported Mg(2+) normally as compared to vesicles from non-diabetic animals. Treatment of diabetic animals with exogenous insulin for 2 weeks restored ATP and protein levels as well as Mg(2+) homeostasis and transport to levels comparable to those observed in non-diabetic animals. These results suggest that in diabetic cardiac cells Mg(2+) homeostasis and extrusion via beta-adrenergic/cAMP signaling are markedly affected by the concomitant decrease in protein and ATP content. As Mg(2+) regulates numerous cellular enzymes and functions, including protein synthesis, these results provide a new rationale to interpret some aspects of the cardiac dysfunctions observed under diabetic conditions.
