Abstract

Metformin therapy is associated with lower serum magnesium (Mg; 2+; ) levels in type 2 diabetes patients. The TRPM6 channel determines the fine-tuning of Mg; 2+; (re)absorption in intestine and kidney. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the short- and long-term effects of metformin on TRPM6. Patch clamp recordings and biotinylation assays were performed upon 1 h of incubation with metformin in TRPM6-transfected HEK293 cells. Additionally, 24 h of treatment of mDCT15 kidney and hCaco-2 colon cells with metformin was applied to measure the effects on endogenous; TRPM6; expression by quantitative real-time PCR. To assess Mg; 2+; absorption,; 25; Mg; 2+; uptake measurements were performed using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Short-term effects of metformin significantly increased TRPM6 activity and its cell surface trafficking. In contrast, long-term effects significantly decreased; TRPM6; mRNA expression and; 25; Mg; 2+; uptake. Metformin lowered; TRPM6; mRNA levels independently of insulin- and AMPK-mediated pathways. Moreover, in type 2 diabetes patients, metformin therapy was associated with lower plasma Mg; 2+; concentrations and fractional excretion of Mg; 2+; . Thereby, short-term metformin treatment increases TRPM6 activity explained by enhanced cell surface expression. Conversely, long-term metformin treatment results in downregulation of; TRPM6; gene expression in intestine and kidney cells. This long-term effect translated in an inverse correlation between metformin and plasma Mg; 2+; concentration in type 2 diabetes patients.
