GIPR agonism and antagonism decrease body weight and food intake via different mechanisms of action.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Agonists and antagonists of the glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor (GIPR) enhance body weight loss induced by glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonism. But while GIPR agonism decreases body weight and food intake in a GLP-1R-independent manner via GABAergic GIPR+ neurons, it remains unclear whether GIPR antagonism affects energy metabolism via a similar mechanism. Here we show that the body weight and food intake reducing effects of GIPR antagonism vanish in mice with global loss of either Gipr or Glp-1r but are preserved in mice with loss of Gipr in either GABAergic or peripheral neurons. RNA-sequencing shows opposing effects of GIPR agonism and antagonism in the hindbrain, with antagonism, but not agonism, mimicking GLP-1R signaling, and with GIPR antagonism and GLP-1R agonism both regulating gene programs implicated in synaptic plasticity. Collectively, we show that GIPR agonism and antagonism decrease body weight via different mechanisms, with GIPR antagonism, unlike agonism, depending on functional GLP-1R signaling.
