In vitro experiments revealed the ability of the serum- and glucocorticoid-inducible kinase 1 (SGK1) to stimulate the intestinal Na+, glucose cotransporter SGLT1 and the intestinal Na+/H+ exchanger NHE3. The present study explored the contribution of SGK1 to the regulation of intestinal transport in vivo. SGK1 transcript levels were determined by real-time PCR and glucose induced currents (Ig), reflecting SGLT1 activity by Ussing chamber experiments. BCECF fluorescence was utilized for determination of Na+-dependent pH recovery from an ammonium pulse ({Delta}pHnhe) reflecting NHE activity. As a result, intestinal SGK1 transcript levels were significantly enhanced by a 4 day treatment with 10 µg/g BW/day dexamethasone (DEX). Ig was under control conditions virtually identical in SGK1-knockout mice (sgk1-/-) and their wild type littermates (sgk1+/+). A 4 day treatment with DEX, however, increased Ig ~3 fold in sgk1+/+ but not in sgk1-/- mice. {Delta}pHnhe was similar in sgk1-/- and sgk1+/+ mice prior to treatment. DEX increased {Delta}pHnhe ~3 fold in sgk1+/+ and ~2 fold in sgk1-/- mice, an effect significantly blunted in the presence of the specific NHE3 blocker S3226 (10 µM). According to Western blotting, DEX significantly enhanced SGLT1 and NHE3 protein abundance in brush border membranes of sgk1+/+ but not of sgk1-/- mice. In conclusion, basic functions of SGLT1 and NHE3 in intestine do not require stimulation by SGK1. However, the effects of glucocorticoids on SGLT1 are fully, and on NHE3 partially dependent on SGK1.
