AimsSodium‐glucose co‐transporter 2 inhibitors, including dapagliflozin, improveßcell function in type 2 diabetic individuals. Whether dapagliflozin can protect islet microvascular endothelial cells (IMECs) and thus contribute to the improvement ofßcell function remains unknown.Materials and MethodsThedb/dbmice were treated with dapagliflozin or vehicle for 6 weeks.ßcell function, islet capillaries and the levels of inflammatory chemokines in IMECs were detected. The mouse IMEC cell line MS‐1 cells were incubated with palmitate and/or dapagliflozin for 24 h. Angiogenesis and inflammatory chemokine levels were evaluated, and the involved signalling pathways were analysed. The mouseßcell line MIN6 cells, in the presence or absence of co‐culture with MS‐1 cells, were treated with palmitate and/or dapagliflozin for 24 h. The expression ofßcell specific markers and insulin secretion in MIN6 cells were determined.ResultsDapagliflozin significantly improvedßcell function, increased islet capillaries and decreased the levels of inflammatory chemokines of IMECs indb/dbmice. In the palmitate‐treated MS‐1 cells, angiogenesis was enhanced and the levels of inflammatory chemokines were downregulated by dapagliflozin. Either a PI3K inhibitor or mTOR inhibitor eliminated the dapagliflozin‐mediated effects. Importantly, dapagliflozin attenuated the palmitate‐induced downregulation ofßcell function‐related gene expression and insulin secretion in MIN6 cells co‐cultured with MS‐1 cells but not in those on mono‐culture.ConclusionsDapagliflozin restores islet vascularisation and attenuates the inflammation of IMECs in type 2 diabetic mice. The dapagliflozin‐induced improvement ofßcell function is at least partially accounted for by its beneficial effects on IMECs in a PI3K/Akt‐mTOR‐dependent manner.
