Project description:To gain insight into the biological functions of the highly expressed GLP-1R in Brunnerâs glands, transcriptome analyses were conducted in male GLP-1R-/- and wild-type control mice. Analyses were performed 6 hours after a single s.c. dose of exendin-4 (1.0mg/kg s.c.), following 18 hours of two doses of exendin-4 (1.0 mg/kg s.c., administered at 0 and 9 hours), and in untreated controls. Brunnerâs glands were isolated by laser capture micro dissection and extracted total RNA was used for microarray profiling. A total of 18 samples consisting of laser captured microdissected Brunner's glands from individual male GLP-1R-/- and wild-type (CD-1) mice. Before the isolation of Brunner's glands, mice were dosed with exendin-4 for 6 and 18 hours. The extracted total RNA from Brunner's glands were compared by full transcriptome profiling.

Project description:Gut intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) are one of the few immune cell populations in the body that expresses glucagon-like 1 receptors (GLP-1R). To test the potential effects of GLP-1 on gut IEL function, we performed bulk RNA-seq on gut IELs isolated from C57BL/6J mice treated with anti-CD3 and with or without exendin-4 for 3 hours.

Project description:Gut intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) are one of the few immune cell populations in the body that expresses glucagon-like 1 receptors (GLP-1R). To test the potential effects of GLP-1 on the gut microbiota through the gut IEL GLP-1R, we performed 16s rRNA seq on the DNA isolated from the fecal pellet of Lck-Cre; Glp1rfl/fl mice (Glp1rTcell-/-) or controls (Glp1rTcell+/+) fed a high-fat diet (HFD) for 12 weeks followed by 1 week of HFD plus semaglutide (10 ug/kg) or vehicle treatment. Fecal pellets from a group of age-matched, sex-matched control mice were included as a chow control group.

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.

Project description:GLP-1 analogues, such as exendin-4, preserve functional β-cell mass in various model systems and are revolutionising management of type 2 diabetes. Yet, comparatively little is known about effectiveness in the face of severe β-cell depletion. Moreover, direct and sequential effects of exendin-4 on islet-specific gene expression over time in vivo are not well characterised. To address these issues and others, we have examined the time-dependent effects of exendin-4 treatment on β-cell mass regulation alongside accompanying changes in islet gene expression in vivo. Context-dependent actions were assessed by comparing effects on normal islets and also following massive toxigenetic β-cell ablation in pIns-MYCERTAM transgenic mice in vivo. Despite over 90% loss of β-cell mass, exendin-4 treatment normalised blood glucose and insulin levels in hyperglycaemic mice, though benefits rapidly waned on withdrawal of treatment. As exendin-4 did not arrest the decline in β-cell mass or turnover in this study, we could directly isolate effects on function of surviving β-cells. Improved glucose homeostasis was associated with dynamic changes in multiple islet genes and pathways in vivo favouring glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, such as Irs2, Pdx1, Sox4, glucokinase, and glycolysis pathway. Several key growth pathways and epigenetic regulators were also differentially expressed. Thus, even in the face of extensive β-cell loss exendin-4 can markedly improve hyperglycaemia by differential gene expression in surviving islet cells. Activation of MYCERTAM was achieved through administration of 1mg of 4 hydroxytamoxifen (4OHT; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) by daily intraperitoneal injection. To assess the effect of exendin-4 on MYCER-induced hyperglycaemia, mice were given either twice-daily subcutaneous (sc) injections of exendin-4 (50ug/kg dissolved in 5mls water), or equivalent volumes of water vehicle, starting 2 days prior to 4OHT injections. For microarray analyses parallel mouse experiments were set up using 8-12 week old pIns-MYCERTAM male mice either treated with 4OHT or vehicle (peanut oil) and exendin-4 or vehicle, as described, for 4, 8, 16, 32 and 72 hours (n=3 for each time point and for each of four conditions; 4OHT and exendin-4 treated, peanut oil and exendin-4 treated, 4OHT and water treated, peanut oil and water treated). !Sample_data_processing = After the quality control step, the following 8 samples out of 60 showing poor reproducibility were excluded from our further study: GSM930242, GSM930247, GSM930251, GSM930263, GSM930264, GSM930289, GSM930291, GSM930298.

Project description: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.

Project description:Combinatorial therapies are under intense investigation for the development of more efficient anti-obesity drugs, however little is known about how they act in brain to produce enhanced satiety and weight loss. Here we used a multidisciplinary strategy to decipher the central mechanisms engaged downstream from the co-administration of GLP-1R and CCK1R agonists, an efficient combination therapy in obese rodents. The nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) contained one of the few neuronal populations synergistically activated in response to GLP-1R and CCK1R co-agonism. None of the previously categorized NTS neuronal subpopulations relevant to feeding behaviour were synergistically activated. However, using PhosphoTRAP, we obtained the molecular signature of NTS and ARH neurons synergistically regulated by the GLP-1R and CCK1R co-agonism and identified NTS/AP Calcrl+ neurons and ARH Adcyap1r1+ neurons as targets of this treatment. Collectively these studies advance our understanding of the central mechanisms involved in the synergistic appetite- and weight-suppressive effect of a combinatorial therapy.
