Project description:Obesity and its co-morbidities, such as diabetes and hypertension, can significantly reduce a person’s quality of life and place huge pressure on healthcare resources. When we eat a meal our gut and brain release hormones to control the amount of food and fluid we ingest to prevent overeating. One of these hormones is called glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) and is released from intestinal cells in response to food intake, but also produced and released in the brain. Drug analogues of GLP-1 are already in use in the clinic to treat both diabetes and obesity. The aim of this work was to obtain fundamental knowledge about a GLP-1 receptor population in nerve terminals of the posterior pituitary gland. We have investigated the pharmacological actions of GLP-1 using a selective receptor agonist called liraglutide, a drug that is approved for diabetes and obesity treatment in humans. Our work has focussed on the phosphoproteome of the neurointermediate lobe (posterior pituitary + intermediate lobe) of the rat pituitary gland 30 minutes after intraperitoneal injection of liraglutide (100 µg/kg) compared to vehicle controls (n = 6 animals per group). New understanding of this GLP-1 receptor population is essential for our knowledge of current treatments of diabetes and obesity that use stable peptide analogues in humans.

Project description:B6.Cg-Lep ob/ob mice females were surgically implanted in an age of 10-12 weeks with Alzet osmotic mini pumps (model 1002, 0,25l/h, Cupertino, CA, USA) in two groups of ten mice each to perform continuous subcutaneous infusions of Dulbecco's phosphate buffered saline (vehicle; n = 8) or GLP-1 (GLP-1; n = 9) agonist Liraglutide (Victoza, batch# CS6C214, Novo Nordisk A/S, Bagsvaerd, Denmark) to investigate the effects of the respective treatment on peri-gonadal epididymal white adipose tissue gene expression. Vehicle or Liraglutide at a dose of 600 g/kg/d were continuously infused (at a dose of 600 g/kg/d) over a 14 days period. On the morning after the osmotic mini pump reservoirs liquid content should have been consumed mice were dissected to remove the peri-gonadal epididymal fat pad for white adipose tissue gene expression analysis. At least 220 mg of white adipose tissue was quickly removed, shock-frozen in liquid nitrogen and thereafter stored at -80C for mRNA extraction. To perform RNA-Seq analysis, samples were single-end sequenced at a depth of 75 80M reads per sample with a read-length of 51 bp using an Illumina Hiseq2500. Raw sequencing files were quality controlled with FastQC. Alignment and trimming of reads was performed using the OSA algorithm against the mouse reference genome b38.1 with RefSeq as the gene model as implemented in OmicSoft ArraySuite software, version 8. RNA transcripts were quantified using RSEM methods as implemented in Arraystudio counting count the read fragments mapping to each individual gene and quantify expression by the corresponding FPKM. In summary, expression was measured as FPKM for 25,054 unique genes. Principal component analysis was then performed to check for possible batch effects and outliers complemented by calculating the RNA-Seq 5'->3' trend for each sample. One sample for the vehicle control as well as for the Liraglutide group were identified as outliers and removed from subsequent analysis, resulting in 7 and 8 samples remaining for each group respectively. Abundance values (counts) were normalized and compared between liraglutide treated mice versus baseline controls using DESeq2. All P-values were adjusted for multiple testing by the Benjamini-Hochberg method.

Project description:Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) are effective treatments for type 2 diabetes, effectively lowering glucose without weight gain and with low risk for hypoglycemia. However, their influence on the retinal neurovascular unit remains unclear. In this study we analyzed the effects of the GLP-1 RA lixisenatide in a rat model of type-1 like diabetic retinopathy. Vasculo- and neuroprotective effects were assessed in experimental diabetic retinopathy and high glucose-cultivated C. elegans, respectively. In STZ-diabetic Wistar rats acellular capillaries and pericytes (quantitative retinal morphometry), neuroretinal function (mfERG), macroglia (GFAP western blot) and microglia (immunohistochemistry) quantification, methylglyoxal (LC-MS/MS) and retinal gene expressions (RNA-sequencing) were determined. The antioxidant properties of lixisenatide were tested in C. elegans. Lixisenatide had no effect on glucose metabolism. Lixisenatide preserved the retinal vasculature and neuroretinal function. The macro- and microglial activation was mitigated. Lixisenatide normalized some gene expression changes in diabetic animals to control levels. Ets2 was identified as a regulator of inflammatory genes. In C. elegans lixisenatide showed the antioxidative property. In summary, these data suggest that lixisenatide has a protective effect on the diabetic retina, most likely due to a combination of neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory and antioxidative effects of lixisenatide on the neurovascular unit.

Project description:A greater understanding of the glucose homeostasis mediated by glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) will facilitate the development of novel glucose-lowering treatments. Here we show that improved glucose metabolism in hypothyroid mice after treatment of T3, the active form of thyroid hormone (TH), is accompanied with increased GLP-1 production and insulin secretion. Treatment of a GLP-1 receptor antagonist is able to attenuate the observed T3 effect on insulin and glucose levels, suggesting that GLP-1 is critically involved in the regulation of glucose homeostasis by T3. By using a mouse model lacking hepatic TH receptor β (TRβ) and a liver-specific TRβ-selective agonist, we demonstrate that TRβ-mediated hepatic TH signalling is not only required for the regulation of GLP-1 production by T3 but also the insulinotropic and glucose-lowering effects of T3. Accordingly, administration of the liver-targeted TRβ-selective agonist is capable of increasing GLP-1 and insulin levels and alleviating hyperglycemia in diet-induced obesity. Mechanistically, through suppressing CYP8B1 expression, T3 shapes the bile acid (BA) composition and increases the levels of Farnesoid X receptor (FXR)-antagonistic BAs, thereby potentiating the GLP-1 production and insulin secretion by repressing intestinal FXR signalling. Consistently, correlations between the T3 levels and either GLP-1 or FXR-antagonistic BA levels can be observed in euthyroid human subjects. Thus, our study reveals a previously undescribed role of hepatic TH signalling in glucose homeostasis through the regulation of GLP-1 production via BA-mediated FXR antagonism, which will underpin the development of novel therapeutics.

Project description:Liraglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analog marketed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Besides lowering blood glucose, liraglutide also reduces body weight. It is not fully understood how liraglutide induces weight loss or to what degree liraglutide acts directly in the brain. Here, we determined that liraglutide does not activate GLP-1-producing neurons in the hindbrain, and liraglutide-dependent body weight reduction in rats was independent of GLP-1 receptors (GLP-1Rs) in the vagus nerve, area postrema, and paraventricular nucleus. Peripheral injection of fluorescently labeled liraglutide in mice revealed the presence of the drug in the circumventricular organs. Moreover, labeled liraglutide bound neurons within the arcuate nucleus (ARC) and other discrete sites in the hypothalamus. GLP-1R was necessary for liraglutide uptake in the brain, as liraglutide binding was not seen in Glp1r(-/-) mice. In the ARC, liraglutide was internalized in neurons expressing proopiomelanocortin (POMC) and cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript (CART). Electrophysiological measurements of murine brain slices revealed that GLP-1 directly stimulates POMC/CART neurons and indirectly inhibits neurotransmission in neurons expressing neuropeptide Y (NPY) and agouti-related peptide (AgRP) via GABA-dependent signaling. Collectively, our findings indicate that the GLP-1R on POMC/CART-expressing ARC neurons likely mediates liraglutide-induced weight loss.

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.
