Abstract
Inflammation plays a pathophysiological role in atherosclerosis and its clinical consequences. In addition to glycemic control, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are of wide concern for cardioprotective effects. The structure, half-life, homology, and clinical efficacy of GLP-1RAs exhibit remarkable disparity. Several studies have compared the disparities in anti-inflammatory effects between daily and weekly GLP-1RAs. This study aimed to compare the similarities and differences between liraglutide and dulaglutide in terms of inhibiting atherosclerotic inflammation and improving co-cultured endothelial cell function. The expression of inflammation markers was examined by immunofluorescence, Western blotting, and real-time PCR. The tube-forming ability of endothelial cells was tested on Matrigel. The results verify that 10/50/100 nmol/L liraglutide and 100 nmol/L dulaglutide markedly suppressed the expression of inflammatory factors in LPS-induced atherosclerosis after 24 and 72 hours, respectively. Moreover, they promoted the polarization of M1 macrophages toward the M2 phenotype and improved the function of co-cultured endothelial cells. Both liraglutide and dulaglutide ameliorate atherosclerosis development. The difference between the two resided in the extended intervention duration required to observe the effect of dulaglutide, and liraglutide demonstrated a superior dose-dependent manner. We provide a potential strategy to understand the dynamics of drug action and possible timing administration.

Comparison of Effects of Injectable Semaglutide and Dulaglutide on Oxidative Stress and Glucose Variability in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Prospective Preliminary Study. Diabetes Ther 2024; 15:111-126. [PMID: 37880502 PMCID: PMC10786762 DOI: 10.1007/s13300-023-01493-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2023] [Accepted: 10/10/2023] [Indexed: 10/27/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Recent trials have shown that glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists considerably reduce atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Oxidative stress, a surrogate marker of cardiovascular risk, is associated with glucose variability. However, to the best of our knowledge, no studies have compared the effects of injectable semaglutide and dulaglutide therapies on oxidative stress and glucose variability assessed via continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). This study aimed to analyze and compare the effects of semaglutide and dulaglutide therapies on oxidative stress and glucose variability as assessed through CGM. METHODS This is an open-label, multicenter, randomized, prospective, parallel-group comparison study. Overall, 37 patients with T2DM treated with dulaglutide for at least 12 weeks were randomized into two groups: one receiving continuous dulaglutide therapy (n = 19) and one receiving injectable semaglutide therapy (n = 18) groups. The coprimary endpoints were changes in the results of the diacron-reactive oxygen metabolites test, an oxidative stress marker, and CGM-evaluated glucose variability after 24 weeks. The secondary endpoint was changes in the Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire (DTSQ) scores. RESULTS Switching to semaglutide therapy was better than continuous dulaglutide therapy in reducing oxidative stress, glucose variability, and glycated hemoglobin levels. Conversely, continuous dulaglutide therapy was better than semaglutide therapy in terms of DTSQ scores for "Convenience" and "Recommend." CONCLUSION Injectable semaglutide therapy may be more effective than dulaglutide therapy in ameliorating oxidative stress and regulating glucose metabolism, including glucose variability, in patients with T2DM, while dulaglutide therapy may be more effective in terms of treatment satisfaction.

Abstract
Background and Aims No study to date has assessed the effect of hydroxychloroquine on various parameters of glycaemic variability. To assess the effect of hydroxychloroquine on glycaemic variability in type 2 diabetes patients uncontrolled on glimepiride and metformin. Methods A total of 30 T2DM patients aged 18-65 years uncontrolled on glimepiride and metformin therapy with HbA1c 7.5-10% (58-86 mmol/mol) were given adjunctive hydroxychloroquine 400 mg during the 12-week study period. The glycaemic variability parameters such as standard deviation of 24 hours of blood glucose, mean of daily differences (MODD) and mean amplitude of glycaemic excursion (MAGE) were assessed by continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) data at baseline and at 12 weeks after the addition of hydroxychloroquine 400 mg. Efficacy was assessed by change in fasting, postprandial plasma glucose and HbA1c from baseline to 12 weeks of addition of 400 mg hydroxychloroquine. Results There was a significant reduction in all parameters of glycaemic variability including MAGE, MODD, standard deviation of 24-hour blood glucose and average blood glucose as well as a significant reduction in fasting, postprandial blood glucose and glycated haemoglobin post 12 weeks of adjunctive treatment with hydroxychloroquine. At the end of 12 weeks of adjunctive treatment with hydroxychloroquine, there was a significant improvement in the percentage of time spent in the target glucose range of 3.9-8.3 mmol/L (70-150 mg/dL). Conclusion The addition of hydroxychloroquine in uncontrolled diabetes significantly reduces all glycaemic parameters including all parameters of glycaemic variability and hence can be an effective add-on to patients uncontrolled on glimepiride and metformin therapy.

Abstract
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common liver lesion that is untreatable with medications. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists have recently emerged as a potential NAFLD pharmacotherapy. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying these drugs’ beneficial effects are not fully understood. Using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, we sought to investigate the biochemical changes in a steatosis cell model treated or not with the GLP-1R agonist Exendin-4 (Ex-4). HepG2 cells were made steatotic with 400 µM of oleic acid and then treated with 200 nM Ex-4 in order to reduce lipid accumulation. We quantified steatosis using the Oil Red O staining method. We investigated the biochemical alterations induced by steatosis and Ex-4 treatment using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and chemometric analyses. Analysis of the Oil Red O staining showed that Ex-4 significantly reduces steatosis. This reduction was confirmed by FTIR analysis, as the phospholipid band (C=O) at 1740 cm−1 in Ex-4 treated cells is significantly decreased compared to steatotic cells. The principal component analysis score plots for both the lipid and protein regions showed that the untreated and Ex-4-treated samples, while still separated, are clustered close to each other, far from the steatotic cells. The biochemical and structural changes induced by OA-induced lipotoxicity are at least partially reversed upon Ex-4 treatment. FTIR and chemometric analyses revealed that Ex-4 significantly reduces OA-induced lipid accumulation, and Ex-4 also restored the lipid and protein biochemical alterations caused by lipotoxicity-induced oxidative stress. In combination with chemometric analyses, FTIR spectroscopy may offer new approaches for investigating the mechanisms underpinning NAFLD.

Glycaemic variability in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus treated with dulaglutide, with and without concomitant insulin: Post hoc analyses of randomized clinical trials. Diabetes Obes Metab 2022; 24:631-640.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the association between treatment with dulaglutide and glycaemic variability (GV) in adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). MATERIALS AND METHODS Post hoc analyses of six randomized, phase 3 studies were conducted to investigate the association between treatment with dulaglutide 1.5 mg once weekly and GV in adult patients with T2D. Using data from seven- and eight-point self-monitored plasma glucose (SMPG) profiles over up to 28 weeks of treatment, GV in within- and between-day SMPG, and between-day fasting glucose from SMPG (FSMPG) was assessed according to standard deviation and coefficient of variation. RESULTS Pooled data from five studies with dulaglutide as monotherapy or added to oral glucose-lowering medication, without concomitant insulin treatment, revealed clinically meaningful reductions in within- and between-day SMPG, and between-day FSMPG variability from baseline in the dulaglutide group. Comparisons between treatment groups in two studies demonstrated that reductions from baseline in within-day and between-day SMPG, and between-day FSMPG variability were greater for treatment with dulaglutide compared with insulin glargine, as well as for treatment with dulaglutide when added to insulin glargine compared with insulin glargine alone. CONCLUSIONS In patients with T2D, treatment with dulaglutide as monotherapy or added to oral glucose-lowering medication, without concomitant insulin treatment, was potentially associated with a reduction in GV. Treatment with dulaglutide was associated with a reduction in GV to a greater degree than insulin glargine. When added to insulin glargine, treatment with dulaglutide was associated with greater decreases in GV compared with insulin glargine alone. As reduced GV may be associated with better outcomes, these findings may have clinical relevance.

Abstract
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the leading chronic liver disease worldwide. Agonists of the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R), currently approved to treat type 2 diabetes, hold promise to improve steatosis and even steatohepatitis. However, due to their pleiotropic effects, the mechanisms underlying their protective effect on NAFLD remain elusive. We aimed to investigate these mechanisms using an in vitro model of steatosis treated with the GLP-1R agonist Exendin-4 (Ex-4). We established steatotic HepG2 cells by incubating the cells with 400 µM oleic acid (OA) overnight. Further treatment with 200 nM Ex-4 for 3 h significantly reduced the OA-induced lipid accumulation (p < 0.05). Concomitantly, Ex-4 substantially reduced the expression levels of Fatty Acid-Binding Protein 1 (FABP1) and its primary activator, Forkhead box protein A1 (FOXA1). Interestingly, the silencing of β-catenin with siRNA abolished the effect of Ex-4 on these genes, suggesting dependency on the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Additionally, after β-catenin silencing, OA treatment significantly increased the expression of nuclear transcription factors SREBP-1 and TCF4, whereas Ex-4 significantly decreased this upregulation. Our findings suggest that direct activation of GLP-1R by Ex-4 reduces OA-induced steatosis in HepG2 cells by reducing fatty acid uptake and transport via FABP1 downregulation.

Abstract
The incidence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) has been increasing worldwide, and diabetic kidney disease (DKD) remains one of the leading long-term complications of T2D. Several lines of evidence indicate that glucose-lowering agents prevent the onset and progression of DKD in its early stages but are of limited efficacy in later stages of DKD. However, sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists were shown to exert nephroprotective effects in patients with established DKD, i.e., those who had a reduced glomerular filtration rate. These effects cannot be solely attributed to the improved metabolic control of diabetes. In our review, we attempted to discuss the interactions of both groups of agents with inflammation and oxidative stress—the key pathways contributing to organ damage in the course of diabetes. SGLT2i and GLP-1R agonists attenuate inflammation and oxidative stress in experimental in vitro and in vivo models of DKD in several ways. In addition, we have described experiments showing the same protective mechanisms as found in DKD in non-diabetic kidney injury models as well as in some tissues and organs other than the kidney. The interaction between both drug groups, inflammation and oxidative stress appears to have a universal mechanism of organ protection in diabetes and other diseases.

Abstract
After years of intensive investigation, the definition of glycaemic variability remains unclear and the term variability in glucose homoeostasis might be more appropriate covering both short and long-term glycaemic variability. For the latter, we remain in the search of an accurate definition and related targets. Recent work leads us to consider that the within-subject variability of HbA1c calculated from consecutive determinations of HbA1c at regular time-intervals could be the most relevant index for assessing the long-term variability with a threshold value of 5% (%CV = SD of HbA1c/mean HbA1c) to separate stability from lability of HbA1c. Presently, no one can deny that short- and long-term glucose variability should be maintained within their lower ranges to limit the incidence of hypoglycaemia. Usually, therapeutic strategies aimed at reducing post-meal glucose excursions, i.e. the major contributor to daily glucose fluctuations, exert a beneficial effect on the short-term glucose variability. This explains the effectiveness of adjunct therapies with either GLP- receptor agonists or SGLT inhibitors in type 2 diabetes. In type 1 diabetes, the application of a CGM device alone reduces the short-term glycaemic variability. In contrast, sophisticated insulin delivery does not necessarily lead to such reductions despite marked downward shifts of 24-hour glycaemic profiles. Such contrasting observations raise the question as to whether the prolonged wear of CGM devices is or not the major causative factor for improvement in glucose variability among intensively insulin-treated persons with type 1 diabetes.

Abstract
AIMS To date, no clinical studies have compared once-weekly dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitors with once-daily DPP-4 inhibitors in terms of glucose variability (GV) and oxidative stress (OS). METHODS Thirty-six patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) treated with once-daily DPP-4 inhibitors for at least 12 weeks were randomized to either continue once-daily DPP-4 inhibitors or receive omarigliptin, a once-weekly DPP-4 inhibitor, for 24 weeks. The primary end points were changes in the diacron-reactive oxygen metabolite (d-ROMs) test, a marker of OS, and GV using flash glucose monitoring. The secondary end point was changes in the diabetes treatment satisfaction questionnaire (DTSQ) scores. RESULTS There were no significant group differences in d-ROMs and DTSQ scores after 24 weeks of treatments. However, omarigliptin was superior to once-daily DPP-4 inhibitors in controlling fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and time in range (TIR). Although FPG and TIR were unchanged at 24 weeks after switching to omarigliptin, these parameters increased in the group receiving maintenance therapy with once-daily DPP-4 inhibitors. No statistically significant changes in hemoglobin A1c were observed between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that switching from once-daily DPP-4 inhibitors to omarigliptin may be efficacious for maintaining FPG and TIR in T2DM patients.

Efficacy of dulaglutide on vascular health indexes in subjects with type 2 diabetes: a randomized trial. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2021; 20:1. [PMID: 33397395 PMCID: PMC7784355 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-020-01183-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2020] [Accepted: 11/27/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Recent cardiovascular outcome trials have shown significant reductions in major cardiovascular (CV) events with glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1 receptor agonists. Additionally, adjunctive surrogates for cardiovascular risk validated by some studies include arterial stiffness and endothelial function indexes. To date, no randomized trial has addressed the possible effects of antidiabetic interventional drugs such as GLP1 agonists on endothelial and arterial stiffness indexes as surrogate markers of vascular damage. Aims We aimed to evaluate metabolic efficacy and surrogate vascular efficacy endpoints of once-weekly dulaglutide (1.5 mg) plus traditional antidiabetic treatment compared with traditional antidiabetic treatment alone in subjects with type 2 diabetes. Methods Men and women (aged ≥ 50 years) with established or newly detected type 2 diabetes whose HbA1c level was 9.5% or less on stable doses of up to two oral glucose lowering drugs with or without basal insulin therapy were eligible for randomization. Subcutaneous dulaglutide was initiated at the full dose (1.5 mg/day weekly). Arterial stiffness (PWV: pulse wave velocity and augmentation index) and endothelial function (RHI: reactive hyperaemia index) were evaluated at baseline and at three-month and nine-month examination visits. At each visit (at 3 and 9 months), the subjects were also evaluated for glycaemic variables such as fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and HbA1c and lipid variables such as total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Results At the three-month follow-up, the subjects treated with dulaglutide showed significantly lower serum levels of FPG and HbA1c than control subjects treated with conventional therapy. At the 9-month follow-up, subjects treated with dulaglutide showed significant lower values of the mean diastolic blood pressure, BMI, total serum cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, FPG, HbA1c and PWV and higher mean RHI values than control subjects treated with conventional therapy. Conclusions Our randomized trial showed that subjects with type 2 diabetes treated with conventional therapy plus 1.5 mg/day of subcutaneous dulaglutide compared with subjects treated with conventional therapy alone showed favourable metabolic effects associated with positive effects on vascular health markers such as arterial stiffness and endothelial function markers. These findings are consistent with previous study findings indicating the strict relationship between cardiovascular risk factors such as systolic blood pressure, total serum cholesterol and LDL levels and cardiovascular events and vascular health surrogate markers.

Abstract
Diabetes strongly contributes to the development of cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in these patients. It is widely accepted that hyperglycemia impairs hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell (HSPC) mobilization from the bone marrow (BM) by inducing stem cell niche dysfunction. Moreover, a recent study demonstrated that type 2 diabetic patients are characterized by significant depletion of circulating provascular progenitor cells and increased frequency of inflammatory cells. This unbalance, potentially responsible for the reduction of intrinsic vascular homeostatic capacity and for the establishment of a low-grade inflammatory status, suggests that bone BM-derived HSPCs are not only victims but also active perpetrators in diabetic complications. In this review, we will discuss the most recent literature on the molecular mechanisms underpinning hyperglycemia-mediated BM dysfunction and differentiation abnormality of HSPCs. Moreover, a section will be dedicated to the new glucose-lowering therapies that by specifically targeting the culprits may prevent or treat diabetic complications.

Abstract
Background Diabetes mellitus is becoming a significant health problem with the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) expecting a startling 642 million diabetes patients by 2040. Liraglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analog, is reported to protect against diabetic cardiomyopathy by binding to the receptor, GLP-1R. However, the underlying mechanism has yet to be clarified. This study aimed to investigate the underlying mechanisms and the effects of liraglutide on diabetic patient's cardiac muscles. Methods GSE102194 genetic expression profiles were extracted from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. The gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway (KEGG) enrichment analyses were carried out. Next, Cytoscape software was used to construct the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network of the differentially expressed genes (DEGs). DEGs were mapped onto a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network that comprised 249 nodes and 776 edges. Results A total of 520 DEGs were discovered, including 159 down-regulated genes and 361 up-regulated genes. DEGs that were upregulated were notably enriched in biological processes (BP) such as muscle system process, muscle system process, muscle structure development and anatomical structure morphogenesis while DEGs that were downregulated were rich in detection of chemical stimulus and neurological system process. KEGG pathway analysis showed the up-regulated DEGs were enriched in adrenergic signaling for cardiomyocytes, dopaminergic synapse, and circadian entrainment, while the down-regulated DEGs were enriched for factory transduction in 249 of the 520 tested samples. The modular analysis identified 4 modules that participated in some pathways associated with cardiac muscle contraction, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), and MAPK signaling pathway. Conclusions Our data showed that Glp-1 could decrease the protein expression of p38, JNK, ERK1/2, and MARS proteins induced by high glucose (22 mM, 72 h). This study highlights the potential physiological processes that take place in diabetic cardiac muscles exposed to liraglutide. Our findings elucidated the regulatory network in diabetic cardiomyopathy and might provide a novel diagnostic and therapeutic target for diabetic cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Glucose variability (GV) is considered an important factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). High GV causes endothelial dysfunction and increased oxidative stress. Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors may improve endothelial function and decrease GV. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of vildagliptin, a DPP-4 inhibitor, compared with glibenclamide in GV and endothelial function in patients with T2DM and arterial hypertension. METHODS This is a prospective, randomized, open and drug-controlled study. Fifty patients older than 35 years with T2DM and hypertension without CVD were randomized to receive vildagliptin (n=25) or glibenclamide (n=25), both in added-on metformin. Laboratory tests and analysis of endothelial function were performed before and 12 weeks after treatment. Endothelial function, defined by reactive hyperemia index (RHI), was analyzed by peripheral artery tonometry (endo-PAT2000). GV was evaluated by capillary glucose with intermittent monitoring device, six measurements per day, for three days, before and after treatment. The median of standard deviation (SD) of mean blood glucose (MBG) was used to evaluate GV. RESULTS GV decreased in the vildagliptin group (35.2 to 30.7, P=0.037) but did not change with glibenclamide (37.6 to 37.5, P=0.765). Glycated hemoglobin was similar in both groups. MBG decreased only in glibenclamide group, without difference with vildagliptin group (P=0.374). There were no changes in the RHI in both groups and there was no correlation between GV and RHI (P=0.658). CONCLUSION Vildagliptin reduces GV; however, the action on endothelial function was not demonstrated. In addition, there was no correlation between GV and endothelial function.
