Sodium-glucose cotransporters 2 (SGLT2) are high-capacity, low-affinity transporters, expressed mainly in the early portion of the proximal renal tube, mediating up to 90% of renal glucose uptake, while SGLT1 receptors are found mainly in the small intestine, facilitating glucose absorption. SGLT2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) originally emerged as agents for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus; however, they soon demonstrated remarkable cardio- and renoprotective actions that led to their licensed use for the treatment of heart failure and chronic kidney disease, regardless of the diabetic status. Cardiovascular remodelling represents an umbrella term that encompasses changes that occur in the cardiovascular system, from the molecular and cellular level, to tissue and organs after local injury, chronic stress, or pressure. SGLT modulation has been shown to positively affect many of these molecular and cellular changes observed during pathological remodelling. Among the different pathophysiological mechanisms that contribute to adverse remodelling, various stem and progenitor cells have been shown to be involved, through alterations in their number or function. Recent studies have examined the effects of SGLT2i on stem and progenitor cell populations and more specifically on endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs). Although some found no significant effect, others showed that SGLT2i can modulate the morphology and function of EPCs. These preliminary observations of the effect of SGLT2i on EPCs may be responsible for some of the beneficial effects of gliflozins on pathological remodelling and, by extension, on cardiovascular disease. The purpose of this narrative review is to critically discuss recent evidence on the cardioprotective effects of SGLT2is, in the context of cardiac remodelling.
