摘要
Knockout (KO) mice missing the sweet taste receptor subunit T1R3 or the signaling protein TRPM5 have greatly attenuated sweetener preferences. Yet both types of KO mice develop preferences for glucose but not fructose in 24-h tests, which has been attributed to the postoral reinforcing actions of glucose. Here we probed for residual sugar taste sensitivity in KO mice. Unlike wildtype (WT) mice, food-restricted T1R3 KO and TRPM5 KO mice displayed little attraction for 8% glucose and 8% fructose in 1-min, two-bottle choice tests. However, in 1-h tests about half of the T1R3 KO mice displayed a significant preference for glucose over fructose (78-84%), while WT mice showed either no or weak preferences (41-56%) for glucose. Following one-bottle training sessions, WT mice display greater glucose preferences although still weaker than those observed in T1R3 KO mice. In contrast, TRPM5 KO mice were indifferent to sugars in 1-h tests but developed a strong preference for glucose over fructose in 24-h tests. T1R3 taste cells contain the sodium glucose cotransporter 1 (SGLT1) and the ATP-gated K+ (K-ATP) metabolic sensor, which may mediate the unlearned glucose preference displayed by T1R3 KO mice. Unlike WT mice, many T1R3 KO mice strongly preferred glucose to a non-metabolizable glucose analog (a-methyl-D-glucopyranoside, MDG) in initial 1-h choice tests. Glucose and MDG are both ligands for SGLT1 which indicates that SGLT1 sensing does not mediate the glucose preference of T1R3 KO mice. Instead, KATP sensing and/or other oral sensors are implicated. The MDG findings also argue against postoral sensing as the primary source of the initial glucose preference displayed by T1R3 KO mice. Why only half of the T1R3 KO mice showed this preference in 1-h tests remains to be determined. All T1R3 KO mice preferred glucose to fructose in 24-h tests, which appears to be due to both oral and postoral glucose sensing.
