title: The plasma membrane-associated protein RS1 decreases transcription of the transporter SGLT1 in confluent LLC-PK1 cells.
abstract: Previously we cloned RS1, a 67-kDa polypeptide that is associated with the intracellular side of the plasma membrane. Upon co-expression in Xenopus laevis oocytes, human RS1 decreased the concentration of the Na(+)-D-glucose co-transporter hSGLT1 in the plasma membrane (Valentin, M., Kühlkamp, T., Wagner, K., Krohne, G., Arndt, P., Baumgarten, K., Weber, W.-M., Segal, A., Veyhl, M., and Koepsell, H. (2000) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1468, 367-380). Here, the porcine renal epithelial cell line LLC-PK1 was used to investigate whether porcine RS1 (pRS1) plays a role in transcriptional up-regulation of SGLT1 after confluence and in down-regulation of SGLT1 by high extracellular D-glucose concentrations. Western blots indicated a dramatic decrease of endogenous pRS1 protein at the plasma membrane after confluence but no significant effect of D-glucose. In confluent LLC-PK1 cells overexpressing pRS1, SGLT1 mRNA, protein, and methyl-alpha-D-glucopyranoside uptakes were drastically decreased; however, the reduction of methyl-alpha-D-glucopyranoside uptake after cultivation with 25 mm D-glucose remained. In confluent pRS1 antisense cells, the expression of SGLT1 mRNA and protein was strongly increased, whereas the reduction of SGLT1 expression during cultivation with high D-glucose was not influenced. Nuclear run-on assays showed that the transcription of SGLT1 was 10-fold increased in the pRS1 antisense cells. The data suggest that RS1 participates in transcriptional up-regulation of SGLT1 after confluence but not in down-regulation by D-glucose.
