GLP-1 receptor signaling increases PCSK1 and beta-cell features in human alpha-cells

ABSTRACT: Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is an incretin hormone that potentiates glucose stimulated insulin secretion. GLP-1 is classically produced by gut L cells; however, under certain circumstances alpha-cells can express the prohormone convertase required for proglucagon processing to GLP-1, prohormone convertase 1/3 (PC1/3), and can produce GLP-1. However, the mechanisms through which this occurs are poorly defined. Understanding the mechanisms by which alpha-cell PC1/3 expression can be activated may reveal new targets for diabetes treatment. Here, we demonstrate that the GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonist, liraglutide, increases alpha-cell GLP-1 expression in a beta cell GLP-1R-dependent manner. We demonstrate that this effect of liraglutide is translationally relevant in human islets through application of a new scRNA-sequencing technology, DART-seq. We find that the effect of liraglutide to increase alpha-cell PC1/3 mRNA expression occurs in a sub-cluster of alpha-cells and is associated with increased expression of other beta-cell-like genes, which we confirm by IHC. Finally, we find that the effect of liraglutide to increase bi-hormonal insulin+ glucagon+ cells is mediated by the beta-cell GLP-1R in mice. Together, our data validate a new high-sensitivity method for scRNA-sequencing in human islets and identify a novel GLP-1 mediated pathway regulating human alpha-cell function.

Acute effects of liraglutides on gene expression in the hearts of mice with experimental myocardial infarction

Project description:Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists reduce the rates of major cardiovascular events, including myocardial infarction in people with type 2 diabetes, and decrease infarct size while preserving ventricular function in preclinical studies. Nevertheless, the precise cellular sites of GLP-1R expression that mediate the cardioprotective actions of GLP-1 in the setting of ischemic cardiac injury are uncertain. Here, cardiac gene expression profiles regulated by liraglutide were examined using RNA-Seq to interrogate mouse atria and both non-infarcted and non-infarcted ventricular tissue after acute coronary artery ligation.

RNA-Seq analysis on the liver of mice treated with high-fat diet and liraglutide

Project description:GLP-1 based diabetes drugs are effective to reduce hepatic lipid accumulation beyong glycemic control. As GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) is not expressed in hepatocytes, the mechanism behind the beneficial effects of GLP-1 based drugs on the liver remained elusive. Several studies have shown that the expression of hepatic fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) can be stimulated by GLP-1-based drugs. Therefore, the present study aimed to assess such stimulation in mice and in mouse primary hepatocytes, determine whether hepatic FGF21 mediates functions of the GLP-1R agonist liraglutide, and to explore the potential mechanisms of liraglutide regulating the expression of FGF21. In high-fat diet induced obese mice, we observed hepatic and plasma FGF21 elevation, improved glucose disposal, and reduced plasma triglyceride levels by liraglutide treatment. Moreover, RNA-sequencing on the liver suggested that Fgf21 was the most upregulated gene after liraglutide treatment. In liver-specific FGF21 knock-out mice on high-fat and high-fructose diet, the body-weight gain attenuation and lipid homeostatic effects of liraglutide was lost or significantly reduced. These studies implied that hepatic FGF21 was the critical mediator of liraglutide-induced metabolic improvement.

BI 456906: a dual glucagon-like peptide-1/glucagon agonist promoting bodyweight reduction

Project description:Glucagon and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) are hormones involved in energy homeostasis. GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonism reduces food intake and delays gastric emptying, and glucagon receptor (GCGR) agonism increases energy expenditure by thermogenesis. BI 456906 is a subcutaneous, once-weekly injectable dual GLP-1R/GCGR agonist in development for the treatment of obesity or non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. Here we show that BI 456906 is a potent dual agonist with an extended half-life in human plasma. Key GLP-1R-mediated mechanisms of reduced food intake, delayed gastric emptying and improved glucose tolerance were confirmed in GLP-1R knockout mice. GCGR activity was confirmed by reduced plasma amino acids, increased hepatic expression of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase and increased energy expenditure. BI 456906 produced greater bodyweight reductions than maximally efficacious semaglutide doses and modulated gene expression, including genes involved in amino acid metabolism. BI 456906 is a potent dual agonist that produces bodyweight-lowering effects through both GLP-1R and GCGR agonism.

Combination of an ACLY inhibitor with a GLP-1R agonist exerts additive benefits on NASH and hepatic fibrosis [NASH Custom panel]

Project description:Increased liver de novo lipogenesis (DNL) is a hallmark of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). A key enzyme controlling DNL upregulated in NASH is ATP citrate lyase (ACLY). In mice, inhibition of ACLY reduces liver steatosis, ballooning and fibrosis and inhibits activation of hepatic stellate cells. Glucagon like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists lower body mass, insulin resistance and steatosis without improving fibrosis. Here, we find that combining an inhibitor of liver ACLY, bempedoic acid, and the GLP-1R agonist liraglutide reduces liver steatosis, hepatocellular ballooning, and hepatic fibrosis in a mouse model of NASH. Liver RNA analyses revealed additive downregulation of pathways that are predictive of NASH resolution, reductions in the expression of prognostically significant genes compared to clinical NASH samples, and a predicted gene signature profile that supports fibrosis resolution. These findings support further investigation of this combinatorial therapy to treat obesity, insulin resistance, hypercholesterolemia, steatohepatitis, and fibrosis in people with NASH.

GPCR signaling neighborhoods associate with the susceptibility to adverse drug reactions of incretin mimetics

Project description:G protein-coupled receptors are important drug targets that engage and activate signaling transducers in multiple cellular compartments. Delineating therapeutic signaling from signaling associated with adverse events is an important step towards rational drug design. The glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) is a validated target for the treatment of diabetes and obesity, but drugs that target this receptor are a frequent cause of adverse events. Using recently developed biosensors, we explored the ability of GLP-1R to activate 15 pathways in 4 cellular compartments and demonstrate that modifications aimed at improving the therapeutic potential of GLP-1R agonists greatly influence compound efficacy, potency and safety in a pathway- and compartment-selective manner. These findings, together with comparative structure analysis, time-lapse microscopy and phosphoproteomics, reveal unique signaling signatures for GLP-1R agonists at the level of receptor conformation, functional selectivity and location bias, thus associating signaling neighborhoods with functionally distinct cellular outcomes and clinical consequences.

Molecular Connectomics Reveals a Glucagon-Like Peptide 1 Sensitive Neural Circuit for Satiety

Project description:Liraglutide and other agonists of the glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP-1RAs) are effective weight-loss drugs, but how they suppress appetite remains unclear. One potential mechanism is by activating neurons which inhibit hunger-promoting Agouti-related peptide (AgRP) neurons of the arcuate hypothalamus (Arc). To identify these afferents, we developed a method combining rabies-based connectomics with single-nuclei transcriptomics. Applying this method to AgRP neurons predicted at least 21 afferent subtypes in the mouse mediobasal and paraventricular hypothalamus. Among these are Trh+ Arc neurons (TrhArc), inhibitory neurons which express the Glp1r gene and are activated by the GLP-1RA liraglutide. Activating TrhArc neurons inhibits AgRP neurons and feeding, likely in an AgRP neuron-dependent manner. Silencing TrhArc neurons causes over-eating and weight gain and attenuates liraglutide’s effect on body weight. Our results demonstrate a widely applicable method for molecular connectomics, comprehensively identify local inputs to AgRP neurons, and reveal a circuit through which GLP-1RAs suppress appetite.
