Both insulin and IGF-1 receptors are present in intestinal mucosal cells, although their role in this tissue is unclear. We have characterized these receptors in a human adenocarcinoma cell line, Caco-2, and examined their role in the regulation of glucose transport and absorption in these cells. The Caco-2 cells demonstrated specific insulin and IGF-1 receptors. They also bound cytochalasin B, suggesting the presence of a glucose transporter-like protein. When grown on membranes, the Caco-2 cells formed columnar, bipolar cells with tight junctions. The monolayer selectively transported D-glucose and methyl-D-glucose, with complete exclusion of L-glucose, D-mannitol and inulin. The absorption of glucose across the monolayer occurred via a Na+/glucose cotransporter, as indicated by a change in short circuit current after addition of glucose to the apical membrane. When examined under several conditions, neither insulin nor IGF-1 had an affect on the transport of glucose across the Caco-2 monolayer, nor the production of lactate by the cells. It is concluded that the insulin and IGF-1 receptors of Caco-2 cells do not regulate glucose transport.
