[PMID: 38904353 DOI: 10.1080/1062936x.2024.2366886] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2024] [Accepted: 06/05/2024] [Indexed: 06/22/2024]
Abstract
Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors belong to a prominent group of pharmaceutical agents that are used in the governance of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). They exert their antidiabetic effects by inhibiting the incretin hormones like glucagon-like peptide-1 and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide which, play a pivotal role in the regulation of blood glucose homoeostasis in our body. DPP-4 inhibitors have emerged as an important class of oral antidiabetic drugs for the treatment of T2DM. Surprisingly, only a few 2D-QSAR studies have been reported on DPP-4 inhibitors. Here, fragment-based QSAR (Laplacian-modified Bayesian modelling and Recursive partitioning (RP) approaches have been utilized on a dataset of 108 DPP-4 inhibitors to achieve a deeper understanding of the association among their molecular structures. The Bayesian analysis demonstrated satisfactory ROC values for the training as well as the test sets. Meanwhile, the RP analysis resulted in decision tree 3 with 2 leaves (Tree 3: 2 leaves). This present study is an effort to get an insight into the pivotal fragments modulating DPP-4 inhibition.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the largest public health problems worldwide and in the last decades various therapeutic targets have been investigated. For the treatment of type-2 DM (T2DM), dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) is one of the well reported target and has established safety in terms of cardiovascular complexicity. Preclinical and clinical studies using DPP-4 inhibitors have demonstrated its safety and effectiveness and have lesser risk of associated hypoglycaemic effect making it suitable for elderly patients. FDA has approved a number of structurally diverse DPP-4 inhibitors for clinical use. The present manuscript aims to focus on the well reported hybrid and non-hybrid analogues and their structural activity relationship (SAR) studies. It aims to provide structural insights for this class of compounds pertaining to favourable applicability of selective DPP-4 inhibitors in the treatment of T2DM.

Abstract
Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4), also known as CD26, is a 110-kDa cell surface glycoprotein with enzymatic and signal transducing activity. DPP-4/CD26 is expressed by various cells, including CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, B cells, dendritic cells, macrophages, and NK cells. DPP-4 inhibitors (DPP-4i) were introduced to clinics in 2006 as new oral antihyperglycemic drugs approved for type 2 diabetes mellitus treatment. In addition to glucose-lowering effects, emerging data, from clinical studies and their animal models, suggest that DPP-4i could display anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects as well, but the molecular and immunological mechanisms of these actions are insufficiently investigated. This review focuses on the modulatory activity of DPP-4i in the immune system and the possible application of DPP-4i in other immune-related diseases in patients with or without diabetes.

Front Immunol 2023; 13:1084960.

Abstract
Recent studies have suggested that dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) inhibitors increase the risk of development of bullous pemphigoid (BP), which is the most common autoimmune blistering skin disease; however, the associated mechanisms remain unclear, and thus far, no therapeutic targets responsible for drug-induced BP have been identified. Therefore, we used clinical data mining to identify candidate drugs that can suppress DPP4 inhibitor-associated BP, and we experimentally examined the underlying molecular mechanisms using human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (hPBMCs). A search of the US Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System and the IBM® MarketScan® Research databases indicated that DPP4 inhibitors increased the risk of BP, and that the concomitant use of lisinopril, an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, significantly decreased the incidence of BP in patients receiving DPP4 inhibitors. Additionally, in vitro experiments with hPBMCs showed that DPP4 inhibitors upregulated mRNA expression of MMP9 and ACE2, which are responsible for the pathophysiology of BP in monocytes/macrophages. Furthermore, lisinopril and Mas receptor (MasR) inhibitors suppressed DPP4 inhibitor-induced upregulation of MMP9. These findings suggest that the modulation of the renin-angiotensin system, especially the angiotensin1-7/MasR axis, is a therapeutic target in DPP4 inhibitor-associated BP.

Abstract
A "honeymoon" phase is a transient period of type 1 diabetes (T1D) remission, characterized by a significant reduction in insulin requirements and good glycemic control due to a temporary restoration of pancreatic β-cell function. This phenomenon occurs in about 60% of adults with this disease, is usually partial, and lasts for up to 1 year. We present a case of a 6-year complete remission of T1D in a 33-year-old man, the longest remission ever described in the literature to our knowledge. He was referred for presenting a 6-month history of polydipsia, polyuria, and weight loss of 5 kg. Laboratory studies confirmed the diagnosis of T1D (fasting blood glucose of 270 mg/dL; HbA1c of 10.6%, and positive antiglutamic acid decarboxylase), and the patient started intensive insulin therapy. After 3 months, a complete remission of the disease was assumed, he suspended insulin administration and since then, he has been under treatment with sitagliptin 100 mg daily, a low-carbohydrate diet, and regular aerobic physical activity. This work aims to highlight the potential role of these factors in delaying disease progression and preserving pancreatic β-cells when introduced at the time of presentation. More robust, prospective, and randomized studies will be needed to confirm its protective effect on the natural course of the disease and support its indication in adults with newly diagnosed T1D.

Abstract
Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disease with a high blood glucose level, leading to both seriously acute and chronic complications. The closed-loop system is an ideal system for diabetes management. However, the large size and high cost of the commercial systems restrict their widespread uses. Here, we present for the first time a microtube-based wearable closed-loop minisystem for diabetes management. The closed-loop minisystem includes a biosensing device, an electroosmotic micropump, and a printed circuit board (PCB) with an algorithm. The microtube-based sensing device coated on the outer surface of the microtube is inserted into subcutaneous tissue for detecting interstitial glucose; the current signal for sensing glucose is processed by the PCB to power the electroosmotic micropump intelligently for the delivery of insulin into the subcutaneous tissue via the microtube channel. The closed-loop minisystem worn on a diabetic SD rat can successfully maintain its blood glucose level within a safe level. It is expected that this new closed-loop paradigm could open up new prospects for clinical diabetes management.

Abstract
The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is the primary pathway for regulating blood pressure in the body, and angiotensin-converting enzymes (ACEs) play a crucial role in it. Hirudo nipponia is an invertebrate that contains a variety of active peptides; however, there are no studies on the ACE inhibitory activity of hirudo. In the present study, our aim was to identify the active peptides in hirudo based on active peptide database analysis, unexpectedly filling the gap in hirudo ACE inhibitory activity research. Prep-HPLC was used to separate the part below 3 kD from hirudo. The peptide composition of the isolates was obtained based on Orbitrap LC-MS. The activity of each group of peptides was predicted by the database and the activity was determined by bioassay. Peptides with validation activity were screened through the database. In total, 337 peptides and 18 peptides matching the NCBI leech protein database were identified. All four fractions showed ACE inhibitory activity, and the IC50 was 0.8266, 0.2708, 0.4432, and 0.1764 mg/mL, respectively. Six screened peptides showed good affinity for ACE. This work reveals for the first time that low-molecular-weight peptides from H. nipponia have ACE inhibitory activity, which can provide a new explanation for leech treatment of hypertension.

Abstract
The enzymatic activity of CD26/DPP4 (dipeptidyl peptidase 4/DPP4) is highlighted in multiple studies to play a vital role in glucose metabolism by cleaving and inactivating the incretins glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP) and gastric inhibitory protein (GIP). A large number of studies demonstrate that CD26 also plays an integral role in the immune system, particularly in T cell activation. CD26 is extensively expressed in immune cells, such as T cells, B cells, NK cells, dendritic cells, and macrophages. The enzymatic activity of CD26 cleaves and regulates numerous chomokines and cytokines. CD26 inhibitors have been widely used for the treatment of diabetes mellitus, while it is still under investigation as a therapy for immune-mediated diseases. In addition, CD26’s involvement in cancer immunology was also described. The review aims to summarize the therapeutic effects of CD26 inhibitors on immune-mediated diseases, as well as the mechanisms that underpin them.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Decreased serum dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (sDPPIV) levels have been reported in patients with autoimmune diseases. However, few studies have analyzed the association between sDPPIV levels and autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD). This study aimed to evaluate the association between sDPPIV levels and three types of AITD: Graves' disease (GD), Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO), and Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT). METHODS Patients newly diagnosed with GD (n = 65), GO (n = 22), and HT (n = 27) and healthy individuals (n = 30) were recruited. Clinical characteristics and thyroid function data were collected. sDPPIV was measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. RESULTS Compared with controls (786.3 ± 46.95), patients with GD and GO had significantly lower sDPPIV levels (662.2 ± 38.81 and 438.4 ± 31.78). Additionally, sDPPIV levels were negatively associated with antithyroid peroxidase antibody (r = -0.20) and antithyroglobulin antibody (r = -0.19), but there was no significant relationship between thyroid hormone and sDPPIV levels. GO cases were divided by proptosis with and without muscle thickening; sDPPIV levels were lower in the muscle thickening group than those in the without muscle thickening group. Logistic regression analysis showed that sDPPIV was negatively correlated with GO and GD. CONCLUSIONS sDPPIV concentrations were abnormal in patients with GD and GO, and reduced sDPPIV expression may be involved in the progression of GO and GD.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) continues to be a substantial medical problem due to its increasing global prevalence and because chronic hyperglycemic states are closely linked with obesity, liver disease and several cardiovascular diseases. Since the early discovery of insulin, numerous antihyperglycemic drug therapies to treat diabetes have been approved, and also discontinued, by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). To provide an up-to-date account of the current trends of antidiabetic pharmaceuticals, this review offers a comprehensive analysis of the main classes of antihyperglycemic compounds and their mechanisms: insulin types, biguanides, sulfonylureas, meglitinides (glinides), alpha-glucosidase inhibitors (AGIs), thiazolidinediones (TZD), incretin-dependent therapies, sodium-glucose cotransporter type 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors and combinations thereof. The number of therapeutic alternatives to treat T2DM are increasing and now there are nearly 60 drugs approved by the FDA. Beyond this there are nearly 100 additional antidiabetic agents being evaluated in clinical trials. In addition to the standard treatments of insulin therapy and metformin, there are new drug combinations, e.g., containing metformin, SGLT2 inhibitors and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) inhibitors, that have gained substantial use during the last decade. Furthermore, there are several interesting alternatives, such as lobeglitazone, efpeglenatide and tirzepatide, in ongoing clinical trials. Modern drugs, such as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, DPP4 inhibitors and SGLT2 inhibitors have gained popularity on the pharmaceutical market, while less expensive over the counter alternatives are increasing in developing economies. The large heterogeneity of T2DM is also creating a push towards more personalized and accessible treatments. We describe several interesting alternatives in ongoing clinical trials, which may help to achieve this in the near future.

Abstract
Chondrocyte dysregulation plays a critical role in the development of osteoarthritis (OA). The pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1β (IL-1β) activates chondrocytes and degrades the structural extracellular matrix (ECM). These events are the important mechanism of OA. Trelagliptin, a selective inhibitor of dipeptidyl Peptidase 4 (DPP-4) used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), has displayed a wide range of anti-inflammatory capacities. The effects of Trelagliptin in OA and chondrocytes have not been tested before. Here, we show that Trelagliptin mitigates IL-1β-induced production of inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin 6 (IL-6), interleukin 8 (IL-8), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) in human chondrocytes. Trelagliptin ameliorates IL-1β-induced oxidative stress by reducing the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Particularly, the presence of Trelagliptin prevents IL-1β-induced reduction of Acan genes and the protein Aggrecan. Moreover, we show that Trelagliptin restores IL-1β-induced reduction of SOX-9 and that the knockdown of SOX-9 abolishes the protective effects of Trelagliptin. Mechanistically, we demonstrate that AMPK is required for the amelioration of Trelagliptin on SOX-9- reduction by IL-1β. Collectively, our study demonstrates that the DPP-4 inhibitor Trelagliptin has a protective effect on chondrocyte function. Trelagliptin may have the potential role to antagonize chondrocyte-derived inflammation in OA.

Abstract
The coronaviruses that cause notable diseases, namely, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), middle east respiratory syndrome (MERS) and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), exhibit remarkable similarities in genomic components and pathogenetic mechanisms. Although coronaviruses have widely been studied as respiratory tract pathogens, their effects on the hepatobiliary system have seldom been reported. Overall, the manifestations of liver injury caused by coronaviruses typically involve decreased albumin and elevated aminotransferase and bilirubin levels. Several pathophysiological hypotheses have been proposed, including direct damage, immune-mediated injury, ischemia and hypoxia, thrombosis and drug hepatotoxicity. The interaction between pre-existing liver disease and coronavirus infection has been illustrated, whereby coronaviruses influence the occurrence, severity, prognosis and treatment of liver diseases. Drugs and vaccines used for treating and preventing coronavirus infection also have hepatotoxicity. Currently, the establishment of optimized therapy for coronavirus infection and liver disease comorbidity is of significance, warranting further safety tests, animal trials and clinical trials.

Abstract
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is one of the highly prevalence disorder and increasing day by day worldwidely. T2DM is a metabolic disorder, which is characterized by deficiency in insulin or resistance to insulin and thus increases the glucose levels in the blood. Various approaches are there to treat diabetes but still there is no cure for this disease. DPP-4 inhibitor is a privileged target in the field of drug discovery and provides various opportunities in exploring this target for development of molecules as antidiabetic agents. DPP-4 acts by inhibiting the incretin action and thus decreases the level of blood glucose by imparting minimal side effects. Sitagliptin, vildagliptin, linagliptin etc. are the different DPP-4 based drugs approved throughout the world for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. Cyanopyrrolidines, triazolopiperazine amide, pyrrolidines are basic core nucleus present in various DPP-4 inhibitors and has potential effects. In the past few years, researchers had applied various approaches to synthesize potent DPP-4 inhibitors as antidiabetic agent without side effects like weight gain, cardiovascular risks, retinopathy etc. This review will also emphasize the recent strategies and rationale utilized by researchers for the development of DPP-4 inhibitors. This review also reveals about the various other approaches like molecular modelling, ligand based drug designing, high throughput screening etc. are used by the various research group for the development of potential DPP-4 inhibitors.

Abstract
The outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic regarded as a major health/economic hazard. The importance of coming up with mechanisms for preventing or treating SARS-CoV-2infection has been felt across the world. This work aimed at examining the efficiency of Sitagliptin (SIT) and human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) trans-activator transcription peptide (TAT) against SARS-CoV-2 virus. 3CL-protease inhibition activity and docking studies were examined. According to the results, the prepared complex's formula was as follows 1: 1 SIT: TAT molar ratio, whereas zeta potential and particle size values were at 34.17 mV and 97.19 nm, respectively. This combination did exhibit its antiviral potentiality against SARS-CoV-2 via IC50 values of 9.083 5.415, and 16.14 μM for TAT, SIT-TAT, and SIT, respectively. In addition, the complex SIT-TAT showed a significant (P < 0.001) viral-3CL-protease inhibitory effect. This was further confirmed via in silico study. Molecular docking investigation has shown promising binding affinity of the formula components towards SARS-CoV-2 main protease (3-CL).

Abstract
Background The outbreak of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection has become a global health emergency. We aim to decipher SARS-CoV-2 infected cell types, the consequent host immune response and their interplay in lung of COVID-19 patients. Methods We analyzed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) samples from 10 healthy donors, 6 severe COVID-19 patients and 3 mild recovered patients. The expressions of SARS-CoV-2 receptors (ACE2 and TMPRSS2) were examined among different cell types. The immune cells infiltration patterns, their expression profiles, and interplays between immune cells and SARS-CoV-2 target cells were further investigated. Findings Compared to healthy controls, ACE2 and TMPRSS2 expressions were significantly higher in lung epithelial cells of COVID-19 patients, in particular club and ciliated cells. SARS-CoV-2 activated pro-inflammatory genes and interferon/cytokine signaling in these cells. In severe COVID-19 patients, significantly higher neutrophil, but lower macrophage in lung was observed along with markedly increased cytokines expression compared with healthy controls and mild patients. By contrast, neutrophil and macrophage returned to normal level whilst more T and NK cells accumulation were observed in mild patients. Moreover, SARS-CoV-2 infection altered the community interplays of lung epithelial and immune cells: interactions between the club and immune cells were higher in COVID-19 patients compared to healthy donors; on the other hand, immune-immune cells interactions appeared the strongest in mild patients. Interpretation SARS-CoV-2 could infect lung epithelium, alter communication patterns between lung epithelial cells and immune system, and drive dysregulated host immune response in COVID-19 patients.

Abstract
Background Excess adiposity is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease due to metabolic changes in the body. Visceral obesity increases the risk of diabetes mellitus through adipocytokines and hence the effective targeting therapies are essential to control obesity in high-risk individuals. The study's main objective was to evaluate the effect of add-on therapy of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors and dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) inhibitors on visceral fat-associated serum adipokines. Methods The study included 90 subjects diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The blood samples were taken before starting first-line therapy with metformin, 12 weeks after starting metformin therapy and 12 weeks after starting add-on therapy. Serum adipokines were analyzed with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level was estimated with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The biochemical variables were measured using Cobas® 6000 analyzer. Results The mean adiponectin level was significantly elevated with add-on therapy using SGLT2 inhibitors and DPP4 inhibitors (P < 0.001). The mean retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4), fatty acid binding protein 4 (FABP4) and visfatin levels were reduced considerably (P < 0.001). The SGLT2 inhibitors are more effective on serum FABP4 in patients with type 2 diabetes (P = 0.038). The mean fasting plasma glucose (FPG), postprandial blood glucose (PPBG) and HbA1c levels were reduced significantly with add-on therapy (P < 0.001). Lipid profile was also altered significantly with this add-on therapy (P < 0.001). Conclusions The results indicate that add-on therapy exerts a beneficial effect in type 2 diabetic patients insufficiently controlled with metformin only by altering the visceral fat-associated adipokine levels and controlling the metabolic activities.

Abstract
Incretin hormones, including glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1, GLP-2 and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), are gastrointestinal peptides secreted from enteroendocrine cells. These hormones play significant roles in many physiological processes via binding to G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) on different organs and tissues; one of them is the immunomodulatory effect on the immune system and its molecular components such as cytokines and chemokines. Anti-inflammatory effects of incretins and dependent molecules involving long-acting analogs and DPP4 inhibitors through regulation of T and B cell activation may attenuate autoimmune diseases caused by immune system disorders in mistakenly recognizing self as the foreign agent. In this review, we investigate incretin effects on the immune system response and the potential benefits of incretin-based therapy for treating autoimmune diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many studies have corroborated the association of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP4i) use with bullous pemphigoid (BP). It has been speculated that this drug-induced variant presents with a different clinical spectrum than conventional BP. OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of DPP4i-induced cases of BP and to evaluate whether gliptin-related BP has specific clinicopathological and immunological features. METHODS We conducted a retrospective, observational study of BP cases attended at our centre between January 2000 and June 2020. Epidemiological, clinical, histopathological and laboratory data were collected. RESULTS A total of 257 cases of BP were collected; 51 (24.3%) were on treatment with DPP4i. When analysing DPP4i-induced BP cases, generalized BP was the predominant pattern and scalp/mucosal involvement was found in 13 patients. Gliptin-related BP cases were associated to a decrease in the eosinophilic infiltrate (p = 0.000) and both the detection rate and concentration of anti-BP180 IgG were lower (p = 0.004, p = 0.001, respectively) than non-DPP4i cases. LIMITATIONS Retrospective, single-centre study. CONCLUSION Our large DPP4i-induced BP case series has highlighted that DPP4i-induced BP is characterized by generalized lesions and scalp involvement. Lower titres of anti-BP180 antibodies and a decrease in eosinophils infiltrating into the skin may be distinct features of DPP4i-related BP.

Abstract
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) and latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) represent the most common types of autoimmune diabetes and are characterized by different age of onset, degrees of immune-mediated destruction of pancreatic beta cells and rates of disease progression towards insulin dependence. Several immunotherapies aimed to counteract autoimmune responses against beta cells and preserve beta-cell function are currently being investigated, particularly in T1D. Preliminary findings suggest a potential role of combination therapy with vitamin D and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors (VIDPP-4i) in preserving beta-cell function in autoimmune diabetes. This manuscript aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the immunomodulatory properties of vitamin D and DPP-4 inhibitors, as well as the rationale for investigation of their combined use as an immunomodulation therapy for autoimmune diabetes.

Abstract
The development of alternatives for autologous bone grafts is a major focus of bone tissue engineering. To produce living bone-forming implants, skeletal stem and progenitor cells (SSPCs) are envisioned as key ingredients. SSPCs can be obtained from different tissues including bone marrow, adipose tissue, dental pulp, and periosteum. Human periosteum-derived cells (hPDCs) exhibit progenitor cell characteristics and have well-documented in vivo bone formation potency. Here, we have characterized and compared hPDCs derived from tibia with craniofacial hPDCs, from maxilla and mandible, respectively, each representing a potential source for cell-based tissue engineered implants for craniofacial applications. Maxilla and mandible-derived hPDCs display similar growth curves as tibial hPDCs, with equal trilineage differentiation potential toward chondrogenic, osteogenic, and adipogenic cells. These craniofacial hPDCs are positive for SSPC-markers CD73, CD164, and Podoplanin (PDPN), and negative for CD146, hematopoietic and endothelial lineage markers. Bulk RNA-sequencing identified genes that are differentially expressed between the three sources of hPDC. In particular, differential expression was found for genes of the HOX and DLX family, for SOX9 and genes involved in skeletal system development. The in vivo bone formation, 8 weeks after ectopic implantation in nude mice, was observed in constructs seeded with tibial and mandibular hPDCs. Taken together, we provide evidence that hPDCs show different profiles and properties according to their anatomical origin, and that craniofacial hPDCs are potential sources for cell-based bone tissue engineering strategies. The mandible-derived hPDCs display - both in vitro and in vivo - chondrogenic and osteogenic differentiation potential, which supports their future testing for use in craniofacial bone regeneration applications.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus has been described as a chronic endocrine and metabolic disease, which is characterized by hyperglycemia and the coexistence of multiple complications. At present, the drugs widely applied in clinical treatment of diabetes mellitus mainly include insulin, insulin analogs, non-insulin oral hypoglycemic drugs and genetic drugs. Nevertheless, there is still no complete therapy strategy for diabetes mellitus management by far due to the intrinsic deficiencies of drugs and limits in administration routes such as the adverse reactions caused by long-term subcutaneous injection and various challenges in oral administration, such as enzymatic degradation, chemical instability and poor gastrointestinal absorption. Therefore, it is remarkably necessary to develop appropriate delivery systems and explore complete therapy strategies according to the characters of drugs and diabetes mellitus. Delivery systems have been found to be potentially beneficial in many aspects for effective diabetes treatment, such as improving the stability of drugs, overcoming different biological barriers in vivo to increase bioavailability, and acting as an intelligent automatized system to mimic endogenous insulin delivery and reduce the risk of hypoglycemia. This review aims to provide an overview related with the research advances, development trend of drug therapy and the application of delivery systems in the treatment diabetes mellitus, which could offer reference for the application of various drugs in the field of diabetes mellitus treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Insulin resistance (IR) plays a great role in type 1 diabetes (T1DM) disease process than is commonly recognized. Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) is an enzyme that deactivates many bioactive peptides involved in glucose regulation. AIMS This study evaluates DPP-4 level in adolescent patients with T1DM compared to controls and investigates the relationship between DPP-4 level and IR in these patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS We measured serum DPP-4 level in 50 patients with T1DM recruited from the Diabetes Endocrine Metabolism Pediatric Unit, and in 80 healthy controls. IR was assessed by the equation for estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR). Biochemical evaluation including glycated haemoglobin (HbA1C) and lipid profile were included. RESULTS IR was found in 80% of patients with T1DM. DPP-4 was significantly higher in control group than patients with T1DM. Patients with T1DM were classified into 3 groups according to DPP-4 tertiles showing significant increase in BMI SDS and total cholesterol across the 3 groups. Significant correlation was found between DPP-4 levels and insulin dose. DPP-4 was significantly higher in patients with T1DM with good glycemic control. CONCLUSION In sample of individuals researched by us, serum DPP-4 was related to adiposity and not to the hyperglycemia in patients with T1DM. Larger sample should be researched to make firm conclusions.

Toxicol Appl Pharmacol 2019; 384:114799. [PMID: 31678606 DOI: 10.1016/j.taap.2019.114799] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2019] [Revised: 10/10/2019] [Accepted: 10/30/2019] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
The present study investigated the vasorelaxant effects of sitagliptin, which is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor in aortic rings pre-contracted with phenylephrine (Phe). Sitagliptin induced vasorelaxation in a concentration-dependent manner but the inhibition of voltage-dependent K+ (Kv) channels by pretreatment with 4-aminopyridine (4-AP) effectively reduced this effect. By contrast, the inhibition of inward rectifier K+ (Kir) channels by pretreatment with barium (Ba2+), large-conductance calcium (Ca2+)-activated K+ (BKCa) channels with paxilline, and adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-sensitive K+ (KATP) channels with glibenclamide did not change this effect. Although the application of SQ 22536, which is an adenylyl cyclase inhibitor, also did not change this effect, treatment with KT 5720, a protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitor, effectively reduced the vasorelaxant effects of sitagliptin. ODQ, which is a guanylyl cyclase inhibitor, and KT 5823, a protein kinase G (PKG) inhibitor, did not impact the effect. Furthermore, neither the inhibition of Ca2+ channels by pretreatment with nifedipine nor the inhibition of sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA) pumps by pretreatment with thapsigargin changed the effect. Similarly, the effects of sitagliptin were not altered by eliminating the endothelium, by pretreatment with a nitric oxide (NO) synthase inhibitor (L-NAME), or by inhibition of small- and intermediate-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channels (SKCa and IKCa) using apamin and TRAM-34. Taken together, these results suggest that sitagliptin induces vasorelaxation by inhibiting both membrane potential (Em)-dependent and -independent vasoconstriction and activating PKA and Kv channels independently of PKG signaling pathways, other K+ channels, SERCA pumps, and the endothelium.

Abstract
Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-4), an incretin glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)
degrading enzyme, contains two forms and it can exert various physiological
functions particular in controlling blood glucose through the action of GLP-1.
In diabetic use, the DPP-4 inhibitor can block the DDP-4 to attenuate GLP-1
degradation and prolong GLP-1 its action and sensitize insulin activity for the
purpose of lowering blood glucose. Nonetheless the adverse effects of DPP-4
inhibitors severely hinder their clinical applications, and notably there is a
clinical demand for novel DPP-4 inhibitors from various sources including
chemical synthesis, herbs, and plants with fewer side effects. In this review,
we highlight various strategies, namely computational biology (in
silico), in vitro enzymatic and cell assays, and
in vivo animal tests, for seeking natural DPP-4 inhibitors
from botanic sources including herbs and plants. The pros and cons of all
approaches for new inhibitor candidates or hits will be under discussion.

Immunological and clinical characteristics of latent autoimmune diabetes in the elderly. Diabetes Metab Res Rev 2019; 35:e3137. [PMID: 30743316 DOI: 10.1002/dmrr.3137] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2018] [Revised: 01/25/2019] [Accepted: 01/29/2019] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) is determined by both a noninsulin-dependent clinical presentation and an autoimmune pathogenic process. Glutamic acid decarboxylase antibody (GADA) constitutes the most important marker, although IA-2A and ZnT8A also define LADA presentation. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is the most prevalent type particularly over 65 years old. Studies about autoimmunity in this age group are scarce. OBJECTIVE The aim of this work was to determine whether three autoantibodies for diabetes autoimmunity were present in elderly T2DM patients, and to assess the distinctive clinical features of autoantibody-positive patients. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We recruited 153 patients with diabetes with onset of diabetes after 65 years of age and a BMI under 30 kg/m2 . RESULTS The prevalence of at least one of the autoantibodies was 15.68% (24/153). The most prevalent autoantibody was GADA with 8.49% (13/153), followed by ZnT8A with 6.50% (10/153) and IA2A with 1.96% (3/153). The autoimmunity-positive group presented higher HbA1c (7.01 ± 1.98 vs 6.35 ± 1.01; P = 0.007) and more prevalent insulin therapy (25% vs 10.85%; P = 0.047). GADA-positive patients with diabetes presented higher FPG (7.79 ± 3.79 mmol/L vs 6.43 ± 1.6 mmol/L; P = 0.014) and insulin therapy more frequently (46% vs 10.71%; p = 0.015). GADA titre levels in the individuals with BMI under 27 kg/m2 were higher (35.00 ± 4.20) than those in the group with BMI over 27 kg/m2 (8.83 ± 3.041; P = 0.0005). CONCLUSION Autoantibodies GADA and Znt8A may be useful markers in identifying a subgroup of older patients with a clinical presentation of diabetes which could be characterized as latent autoimmune diabetes in the elderly.
