        Empagliflozin mitigates type 2 diabetes-associated peripheral neuropathy: a glucose-independent effect through AMPK signaling

        Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) representsa severe microvascular condition that dramatically affectsdiabetic patients despite adequate glycemic control, resultingin high morbidity. Thus, recently, anti-diabetic drugsthat possess glucose-independent mechanisms attractedattention. This work aims to explore the potentiality of theselective sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor, empagliflozin (EMPA), to ameliorate streptozotocin-induced DPNin rats with insight into its precise signaling mechanism. Rats were allocated into four groups, where control animalsreceived vehicle daily for 2 weeks. In the remaining groups,DPN was elicited by single intraperitoneal injections offreshly prepared streptozotocin and nicotinamide (52.5 and50 mg/kg, respectively). Then EMPA (3 mg/kg/p.o.) wasgiven to two groups either alone or accompanied with theAMPK inhibitor dorsomorphin (0.2 mg/kg/i.p.). Despite thenon-significant anti-hyperglycemic effect, EMPA improvedsciatic nerve histopathological alterations, scoring, myelination,nerve fibers’ count, and nerve conduction velocity. Moreover, EMPA alleviated responses to different nociceptivestimuli along with improved motor coordination. EMPAmodulated ATP/AMP ratio, upregulated p-AMPK whilereducing p-p38 MAPK expression, p-ERK1/2 and consequentlyp-NF-κB p65 as well as its downstream mediators (TNF-α and IL-1β), besides enhancing SOD activity andlowering MDA content. Moreover, EMPA downregulatedmTOR and stimulated ULK1 as well as beclin-1. Likewise,EMPA reduced miR-21 that enhanced RECK, reducingMMP-2 and -9 contents. EMPA’s beneficial effects werealmost abolished by dorsomorphin administration. In conclusion,EMPA displayed a protective effect against DPNindependently from its anti-hyperglycemic effect, probablyvia modulating the AMPK pathway to modulate oxidativeand inflammatory burden, extracellular matrix remodeling,and autophagy.
