Chronic treatment with glucagon-like peptide-1/glucagon receptor co-agonist causes weight-loss independent improvements in hepatic steatosis

ABSTRACT: Co-agonists at the glucagon-like peptide-1/glucagon receptors (GLP1R/GCGR) show promise as treatments for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Unlike GLP1, glucagon directly acts on the liver to reduce fat content. To date most metabolic studies have looked at heavily GLP1R-biased co-agonists and have not distinguished weight-loss versus weight loss-independent effects. We demonstrate that 24 days’ treatment with Dicretin, a GLP1/GCGR co-agonist with high potency at the GCGR, in mice with hepatic steatosis secondary to diet-induced obesity leads to superior reduction of hepatic lipid content when compared to Semaglutide or equivalent weight loss by calorie restriction. Hepatic transcriptomic and metabolomic profiling demonstrated many changes that were unique to Dicretin-treated mice: some known targets of glucagon signalling and others with as yet unclear physiological significance. Our study supports the development of GLP1/GCGR co-agonists for treatment of MASLD and related conditions.

Disruption of glucagon receptor increase α-cell glucagon expression and secretion beyond hyperplasia in zebrafish

Project description:Glucagon receptor (GCGR) is a potential target for diabetes therapy. Several emerging GCGR antagonism-based therapies are under pre-clinical and clinical development. However, the GCGR antagonism as well as GCGR deficient animal accompanied with α-cell hyperplasia and hyperglucagonemia, which may limit the application of GCGR antagonism. To better understand the physiological changes in the α cells during the GCGR disruption, we performed the single cell sequencing of α cells isolated from control and gcgr-/- zebrafish. We found that α cells in gcgr-/- zebrafish dramatically increased glucagon (both gcga and gcgb) expression, we also found that several transcriptional factors that regulate glucagon expression were also increased. Based on the sequencing data, we further experimentally confirmed that gcgr-/- up-regulated glucagon mRNA level by in situ hybridization, and the gcgr-/- increased glucagon promoter activity indicated by reporter line Tg(gcga: GFP). Moreover, our results also revealed that α cells increased glucagon granule population and glucagon level in gcgr-/- zebrafish. These data suggested that hyperglucagonemia in the organism of GCGR antagonism not only contributed by the α-cell hyperplasia but also contributed by the increased glucagon expression and secretion from α cells. Our study provided more comprehensive understanding of physiological changes of α-cell during the GCGR disruption.

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.

Glucagon-receptor signaling regulates energy metabolism via hepatic Farnesoid X Receptor and Fibroblast Growth Factor 21

Project description:Glucagon, an essential regulator of glucose and lipid metabolism, also promotes weight loss, in part through potentiation of fibroblast-growth factor 21 (FGF21) secretion. However, FGF21 is only a partial mediator of metabolic actions ensuing from GcgR-activation, prompting us to search for additional pathways. Intriguingly, chronic GcgR agonism increases plasma bile acid levels. We hypothesized that GcgR agonism regulates energy metabolism, at least in part, through farnesoid X receptor (FXR). To test this hypothesis, we studied whole body and liver-specific FXR knockout (FXR∆liver) mice. Chronic GcgR agonist (IUB288) administration in diet-induced obese (DIO) Gcgr, Fgf21 and Fxr whole body or liver-specific knockout (∆liver) mice failed to reduce body weight (BW) when compared to wildtype (WT) mice. IUB288 increased energy expenditure and respiration in DIO WT mice, but not FXR∆liver mice. GcgR agonism increased [14C]-palmitate oxidation in hepatocytes isolated from WT mice in a dose-dependent manner, an effect blunted in hepatocytes from FXR∆liver mice. Our data clearly demonstrate that control of whole body energy expenditure by GcgR agonism requires intact FXR signaling in the liver. This heretofore-unappreciated aspect of glucagon biology has implications for the use of GcgR agonism in the therapy of metabolic disorders.

Effects of dual agonist of GLP1 and GCGR on animal model of NAS (MCD diet) and hepatic regeneration

Project description:The genomic analysis of liver from mice fed with standard or methyl and choline deficient (MCD) diet and treated with dual agonist of GLP1R/GCGR during two weeks before 70% partial hepatectomy (PH) and after 2 weeks PH resulted in a set of genes regulated by diet and other set regulated differentially by treatment in MCD treated animals. These genes are apparently responsible for the reversion and prevention of NAS and improvement in hepatic regeneration induced by drug treatment All microarray analyses were performed with RNA samples obtained from four independent liver from animals with different diet and drug treatmens.

Glucagon regulates Hepatic Kisspeptin1 to Impair Insulin Secretion in Diabetes Mellitus

Project description:Glucagon and insulin are counter-regulatory pancreatic hormones that precisely control blood glucose homeostasis1. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is characterized by inappropriately elevated blood glucagon2-5 levels as well as insufficient glucose stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) by pancreatic ß-cells6. Early in the pathogenesis of T2DM, hyperglucagonemia is observable antecedent to ß-cell dysfunction7-9; and in mice, liver-specific activation of glucagon receptor-dependent signaling results in impaired GSIS10. However, the mechanistic relationship between hyperglucagonemia, hepatic glucagon action, and ß-cell dysfunction remains poorly understood. Here we show that glucagon action stimulates hepatic production of the neuropeptide kisspeptin1, which acts in an endocrine manner on ß-cells to suppress GSIS. In vivo glucagon administration acutely stimulates hepatic kisspeptin1 production, and kisspeptin1 is increased in livers from humans with T2DM and from mouse models of diabetes mellitus. Synthetic kisspeptin1 potently suppresses GSIS in vivo and in vitro from normal isolated islets, which express the kisspeptin1 receptor Kiss1R. Administration of a Kiss1R antagonist in diabetic Leprdb/db mice potently augments GSIS and reduces glycemia. Our observations indicate in the pathogenesis of T2DM an endocrine mechanism sequentially linking hyperglucagonemia via hepatic kisspeptin1 production to impaired insulin secretion. In addition, our findings suggest Kiss1R antagonism as a therapeutic avenue to improve ß-cell function in T2DM. Total RNA from L-Δprkar1a KO mice compared to control D-glucose mice

RNA-seq of kidneys from mice treated for eight weeks with the glucagon receptor antibody, REGN1193, compared to mice treated with a control antibody, REGN1945.

Project description:Chronic glucagon receptor inhibition induced by a glucagon receptor antibody causes decrease in mesangial cell area and increases kidney weight. To dissect the molecular mechanism underlying these effects, RNA sequencing of kidney biopsies from female mice treated for eight weeks with the glucagon receptor antibody, REGN1193, or a control antibody, REGN1945, were performed.
