Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor canagliflozin (Cana) is a new kind of hypoglycemic agent, which decreases urinary glucose reabsorption and reduces hyperglycemia. Cana has been shown to regulate serum lipid, decrease serum triglyceride and increase serum high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C), and improve cardiovascular outcomes. But evidence of how Cana impacted the cholesterol metabolism remains elusive.Methods: We treated Cana on mice with chow diet or western diet and then detected cholesterol metabolism in the liver and intestine. To explore the mechanism, we also treated hepG2 cells and Caco2 cells with different concentrations of Cana.Results: In this study, we showed that Cana facilitated hepatic and intestinal cholesterol efflux. Mechanically, Cana via activating adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) increased the expression of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters ABCG5 and ABCG8 in liver and intestine, increased biliary and fecal cholesterol excretion.Conclusion: This research confirms that Cana regulates cholesterol efflux and improves blood and hepatic lipid; this may be a partial reason for improving cardiovascular disease.Keywords: canagliflozin, ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters G5/8, cholesterol efflux, AMPK
