Involvement of CYP1A1 in the regulation of sucrase-isomaltase and hexose transporters was analyzed in low- (TC7) and high- (PF11) glucose consuming Caco-2 clones. CYP1A1 mRNA is elevated in exponentially growing cells, concomitantly with high rates of glucose consumption and high levels of GLUT1 and GLUT3 mRNA. After confluency CYP1A1 is not detectable in TC7 cells, this being associated with a decreased glucose consumption, a downregulation of GLUT1 and GLUT3, and an upregulation of sucrase-isomaltase, SGLT1, GLUT2 and GLUT5. In PF11 cells CYP1A1 mRNA remains elevated, along with high glucose consumption, high levels of GLUT1 and GLUT3 and minimal expression of sucrase-isomaltase, SGLT1, GLUT2 and GLUT5. Exposure of TC7 cells to inducers of CYP1A1 results in high levels of CYP1A1 mRNA, a tenfold increase of glucose consumption after confluency, an upregulation of GLUT1 and GLUT3 and a downregulation of sucrase-isomaltase, GLUT2, and to a lower extent SGLT1 and GLUT5. These results suggest that activation of CYP1A1, whether spontaneous or drug-induced, is involved in the variations of glucose utilization and in the associated modifications of expression of sucrase-isomaltase and hexose transporters.
