A comprehensive in-vitro/ in-vivo screening toolbox for the elucidation of glucose homeostasis modulating properties of plant extracts (from roots) and its bioactives. Front Pharmacol 2024; 15:1396292. [PMID: 38989154 PMCID: PMC11233739 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2024.1396292] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2024] [Accepted: 06/10/2024] [Indexed: 07/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Plant extracts are increasingly recognized for their potential in modulating (postprandial) blood glucose levels. In this context, root extracts are of particular interest due to their high concentrations and often unique spectrum of plant bioactives. To identify new plant species with potential glucose-lowering activity, simple and robust methodologies are often required. For this narrative review, literature was sourced from scientific databases (primarily PubMed) in the period from June 2022 to January 2024. The regulatory targets of glucose homeostasis that could be modulated by bioactive plant compounds were used as search terms, either alone or in combination with the keyword "root extract". As a result, we present a comprehensive methodological toolbox for studying the glucose homeostasis modulating properties of plant extracts and its constituents. The described assays encompass in-vitro investigations involving enzyme inhibition (α-amylase, α-glucosidase, dipeptidyl peptidase 4), assessment of sodium-dependent glucose transporter 1 activity, and evaluation of glucose transporter 4 translocation. Furthermore, we describe a patch-clamp technique to assess the impact of extracts on KATP channels. While validating in-vitro findings in living organisms is imperative, we introduce two screenable in-vivo models (the hen's egg test and Drosophila melanogaster). Given that evaluation of the bioactivity of plant extracts in rodents and humans represents the current gold standard, we include approaches addressing this aspect. In summary, this review offers a systematic guide for screening plant extracts regarding their influence on key regulatory elements of glucose homeostasis, culminating in the assessment of their potential efficacy in-vivo. Moreover, application of the presented toolbox might contribute to further close the knowledge gap on the precise mechanisms of action of plant-derived compounds.

[PMID: 36801379 DOI: 10.1016/j.arr.2023.101884] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2022] [Revised: 02/08/2023] [Accepted: 02/14/2023] [Indexed: 02/18/2023]
Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) reperfusion is associated with ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, which leads to enlarged myocardial infarction size, poor healing of the infarcted myocardium, and poor left ventricular remodeling, thus increasing the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs). Diabetes increases myocardial susceptibility to I/R injury, decreases myocardial responsiveness to cardioprotective strategies, exacerbates myocardial I/R injury, and expands the infarct size of AMI, thereby increasing the incidence of malignant arrhythmias and heart failure. Currently, evidence regarding pharmacological interventions for diabetes combined with AMI and I/R injury is lacking. Traditional hypoglycemic drugs have a limited role in the prevention and treatment of diabetes combined with I/R injury. Current evidence suggests that novel hypoglycemic drugs may exert a preventive effect on diabetes combined with myocardial I/R injury, especially glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) and sodium-dependent glucose transporter protein 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), which may increase coronary blood flow, reduce acute thrombosis, attenuate I/R injury, decrease myocardial infarction size, inhibit structural and functional remodeling of the ischemic heart, improve cardiac function, and reduce the occurrence of MACEs of diabetes patients combined with AMI via mechanisms such as reduction of inflammatory response, inhibition of oxidative stress, and improvement of vascular endothelial function. This paper will systematically elaborate the protective role and molecular mechanisms of GLP-1 RA and SGLT2i in diabetes combined with myocardial I/R injury, aiming to provide clinical assistance.

Abstract
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors are commonly used treatments for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Both anti-diabetic treatments function by playing key modulatory roles in the incretin system. Though these drugs have been deemed effective in treating T2DM, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and some members of the scientific community have questioned the safety of these therapeutics relative to important cardiovascular endpoints. As a result, since 2008, the FDA has required all new drugs for glycemic control in T2DM patients to demonstrate cardiovascular safety. The present review article strives to assess the safety and benefits of incretin-based therapy, a new class of antidiabetic drug, on the health of patient cardiovascular systems. In the process, this review will also provide a physiological overview of the incretin system and how key components function in T2DM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes and impaired glucose regulation are very common in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). In this study, we aim to investigate the prevalence of abnormal glucose regulation in men and women in Chinese CAD patients. METHODS In this retrospective study, 4100 patients (male, n = 2873; female, n = 1227)with CAD were enrolled. The mean age of these patients was 63 years. The demographic data, medical history, echocardiography findings and blood investigations were collected and analyzed. RESULTS In this population, 953 (24%) patients had definite diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus, including 636 males (23%) and 317 females (27%). There was a higher prevalence of diabetes in females than men (p < 0.05). For the remaining patients, 48% (n = 959) undergone an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), which revealed that 83 male patients (12%) and 41 female patients (16%) suffered from the type 2 diabetes (p > 0.05). 283 men (40%) and 105 women (41%) had impaired glucose regulation (IGR) (p > 0.05). Only 338 men (25%) and 109 women (19%) showed the normal glucose regulation, implying a higher prevalence of abnormal glucose regulation in females (p < 0.01). The odd ratio (OR) showed that women were more prone to have diabetes mellitus or IGT than men and the OR was 1.44 and 1.43 respectively. CONCLUSION Abnormal glucose regulation is highly prevalent in CAD patients. The women are more prone to have diabetes mellitus or IGT than men.

Clin Exp Pharmacol Physiol 2021; 49:46-59. [PMID: 34519087 DOI: 10.1111/1440-1681.13590] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/08/2021] [Revised: 09/07/2021] [Accepted: 09/10/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
The pleiotropic effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists on the heart have been recognised in obese or diabetic patients. However, little is known regarding the molecular mechanisms of these agonists in cardioprotective actions under metabolic disturbances. We evaluated the effects of GLP-1R agonist liraglutide treatment on left ventricular cardiomyocytes from high-carbohydrate induced metabolic syndrome rats (MetS rats), characterised with insulin resistance and cardiac dysfunction with a long-QT. Liraglutide (0.3 mg/kg for 4 weeks) treatment of MetS rats significantly reversed long-QT, through a shortening the prolonged action potential duration and recovering inhibited K+ -currents. We also determined a significant recovery in the leaky sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) and high cytosolic Ca2+ -level, which are confirmed with a full recovery in activated Na+ /Ca2+ -exchanger currents (INCX ). Moreover, the liraglutide treatment significantly reversed the depolarised mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), increased production of oxidant markers, and cellular acidification together with the depressed ATP production. Our light microscopy analysis of isolated cardiomyocytes showed marked recoveries in the liraglutide-treated MetS group such as marked reverses in highly dilated T-tubules and SR-mitochondria junctions. Moreover, we determined a significant increase in depressed GLUT4 protein level in liraglutide-treated MetS group, possibly associated with recovery in casein kinase 2α. Overall, the study demonstrated a molecular mechanism of liraglutide-induced cardioprotection in MetS rats, at most, via its pleiotropic effects, such as alleviation in the electrical abnormalities, Ca2+ -homeostasis, and mitochondrial dysfunction in ventricular cardiomyocytes.

GLP-1 vasodilatation in humans with coronary artery disease is not adenosine mediated. BMC Cardiovasc Disord 2021; 21:223. [PMID: 33932990 PMCID: PMC8088691 DOI: 10.1186/s12872-021-02030-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2020] [Accepted: 04/21/2021] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Incretin therapies appear to provide cardioprotection and improve cardiovascular outcomes in patients with diabetes, but the mechanism of this effect remains elusive. We have previously shown that glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1 is a coronary vasodilator and we sought to investigate if this is an adenosine-mediated effect. METHODS We recruited 41 patients having percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for stable angina and allocated them into four groups administering a specific study-related infusion following successful PCI: GLP-1 infusion (Group G) (n = 10); Placebo, normal saline infusion (Group P) (n = 11); GLP-1 + Theophylline infusion (Group GT) (n = 10); and Theophylline infusion (Group T) (n = 10). A pressure wire assessment of coronary distal pressure and flow velocity (thermodilution transit time-Tmn) at rest and hyperaemia was performed after PCI and repeated following the study infusion to derive basal and index of microvascular resistance (BMR and IMR). RESULTS There were no significant differences in the demographics of patients recruited to our study. Most of the patients were not diabetic. GLP-1 caused significant reduction of resting Tmn that was not attenuated by theophylline: mean delta Tmn (SD) group G - 0.23 s (0.27) versus group GT - 0.18 s (0.37), p = 0.65. Theophylline alone (group T) did not significantly alter resting flow velocity compared to group GT: delta Tmn in group T 0.04 s (0.15), p = 0.30. The resulting decrease in BMR observed in group G persisted in group GT: - 20.83 mmHg s (24.54 vs. - 21.20 mmHg s (30.41), p = 0.97. GLP-1 did not increase circulating adenosine levels in group GT more than group T: delta median adenosine - 2.0 ng/ml (- 117.1, 14.8) versus - 0.5 ng/ml (- 19.6, 9.4); p = 0.60. CONCLUSION The vasodilatory effect of GLP-1 is not abolished by theophylline and GLP-1 does not increase adenosine levels, indicating an adenosine-independent mechanism of GLP-1 coronary vasodilatation. TRIAL REGISTRATION The local research ethics committee approved the study (National Research Ethics Service-NRES Committee, East of England): REC reference 14/EE/0018. The study was performed according to institutional guidelines, was registered on http://www.clinicaltrials.gov (unique identifier: NCT03502083) and the study conformed to the principles outlined in the Declaration of Helsinki.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The effects of liraglutide treatment on the left ventricular systolic and diastolic function remain unclear. METHODS This meta-analysis was conducted according to the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis (PRISMA) statement. All relevant randomized, placebo-controlled trials (RCTs) were identified by searching PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and ISI Web of Science from the establishment to January 2021 without language limitations. The weighted mean difference (WMD) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) was calculated. RESULTS Ten placebo-controlled RCTs involving a total of 732 cases were included in the meta-analysis. Compared with the placebo group, liraglutide therapy showed no beneficial effect on the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) at the end of the study (WMD: 2.120, 95% CI: -0.688 to 4.929, P=0.139) and ΔLVEF during the trial period (WMD: -0.651, 95% CI: -1.649 to 0.348, P=0.202). Similarly, no statistical differences were noted in diastolic function parameters between the two groups, including the value early diastolic filling velocity (E)/the mitral annular early diastolic velocity (e') (WMD: -0.763, 95% CI: -2.157 to 0.630, P=0.283), Δe' (WMD: -0.069, 95% CI: -0.481 to 0.343, P=0.742), and ΔE/e' (WMD: -0.683, 95% CI: -1.663 to 0.298, P=0.172). CONCLUSIONS Liraglutide treatment did not improve the left ventricular systolic and diastolic function. Given the study's limitations, further investigation may be warranted.

Abstract
Heart failure (HF) is a highly frequent disorder with considerable morbidity, hospitalization, and mortality; thus, it invariably places pressure on clinical and public health systems in the modern world. There have been notable advances in the definition, diagnosis, and treatment of HF, and newly developed agents and devices have been widely adopted in clinical practice. Here, this review first summarizes the current emerging therapeutic agents, including pharmacotherapy, device-based therapy, and the treatment of some common comorbidities, to improve the prognosis of HF patients. Then, we discuss and point out the commonalities and areas for improvement in current clinical studies of HF. Finally, we highlight the gaps in HF research. We are looking forward to a bright future with reduced morbidity and mortality from HF.

Abstract
Background The mechanism underlying the beneficial cardiovascular effects of the incretin GLP‐1 (glucagon‐like peptide 1) and its analogues in humans is elusive. We hypothesized that activating receptors located on vascular smooth muscle cells to induce either peripheral or coronary vasodilatation mediates the cardiovascular effect of GLP‐1. Methods and Results Ten stable patients with angina awaiting left anterior descending artery stenting underwent forearm blood flow measurement using forearm plethysmography and post–percutaneous coronary intervention coronary blood flow measurement using a pressure‐flow wire before and after peripheral GLP‐1 administration. Coronary sinus and artery bloods were sampled for GLP‐1 levels. A further 11 control patients received saline rather than GLP‐1 in the coronary blood flow protocol. GLP‐1 receptor (GLP‐1R) expression was assessed by immunohistochemistry using a specific GLP‐1R monoclonal antibody in human tissue to inform the physiological studies. There was no effect of GLP‐1 on absolute forearm blood flow or forearm blood flow ratio after GLP‐1, systemic hemodynamics were not affected, and no binding of GLP‐1R monoclonal antibody was detected in vascular tissue. GLP‐1 reduced resting coronary transit time (mean [SD], 0.87 [0.39] versus 0.63 [0.27] seconds; P=0.02) and basal microcirculatory resistance (mean [SD], 76.3 [37.9] versus 55.4 [30.4] mm Hg/s; P=0.02), whereas in controls, there was an increase in transit time (mean [SD], 0.48 [0.24] versus 0.83 [0.41] seconds; P<0.001) and basal microcirculatory resistance (mean [SD], 45.9 [34.7] versus 66.7 [37.2] mm Hg/s; P=0.02). GLP‐1R monoclonal antibody binding was confirmed in ventricular tissue but not in vascular tissue, and transmyocardial GLP‐1 extraction was observed. Conclusions GLP‐1 causes coronary microvascular dilation and increased flow but does not influence peripheral tone. GLP‐1R immunohistochemistry suggests that GLP‐1 coronary vasodilatation is indirectly mediated by ventricular‐coronary cross talk.

known as diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM), is recognized as asymptomatic progression
of structural and functional remodeling in the heart of diabetic patients in the absence
of coronary atherosclerosis and hypertension. In other words, the presence of heart disease
specifically in diabetic patients is also known as diabetic heart disease. This article
reviews the impact of diabetes in heart and vascular beds focusing on molecular mechanisms
involving the oxidative stress, the inflammation, the endothelium dysfunction and
the alteration of the homeostasis of calcium, among others mechanisms. Understanding
these mechanisms will help identify and treat CVD in patients with diabetes, as well as to
plan efficient strategies to mitigate DCM impact in those patients.

Effects of Acute GLP-1 Infusion on Pulmonary and Systemic Hemodynamics in Patients With Heart Failure: A Pilot Study. Clin Ther 2019; 41:118-127.e0. [PMID: 30598343 DOI: 10.1016/j.clinthera.2018.11.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2018] [Revised: 11/13/2018] [Accepted: 11/28/2018] [Indexed: 01/10/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Cardiovascular-safety studies assessing glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1 receptor agonists and dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors have provided inconsistent data on the risk for developing heart failure. Animal studies have shown that GLP-1 is a vasodilator; if confirmed in humans, this may ameliorate heart failure symptoms. METHODS In a single-center, observational pilot study, we recruited 10 patients with advanced heart failure undergoing right heart catheterization, and we recorded pulmonary hemodynamic measures, including cardiac output calculated by thermodilution and the indirect Fick method before and after a 15-minute continuous infusion of native GLP-1 (7-36) NH2. FINDINGS There was a neutral effect of GLP-1 on all pressure and hemodynamics indices as derived by cardiac output calculated by thermodilution. However, there was a small but consistent reduction in cardiac output as calculated by the indirect Fick method after GLP-1 infusion (baseline, 4.0 [1.1] L/min vs GLP-1, 3.6 [0.9] L/min; P = 0.003), driven by a consistent reduction in mixed venous oxygen saturation after GLP-1 infusion (baseline, 62.2% [7.0%] vs GLP-1, 59.3% [6.8%]; P < 0.001), whereas arterial saturation remained constant (baseline, 96.8% [3.3%] vs GLP-1, 97.0% [3.2%]; P = 0.34). This resulted in an increase in systemic vascular resistance by Fick (baseline, 1285 [228] dyn · s/cm5 vs GLP-1, 1562 [247] dyn · s/cm5; P = 0.001). IMPLICATIONS Acute infusion of GLP-1 has a neutral hemodynamic effect, when assessed by thermodilution, in patients with heart failure. However, GLP-1 reduces mixed venous oxygen saturation.

Abstract
CONTEXT It is unclear if effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and clinically available GLP-1 agonists on the heart occur at clinical doses in humans, possibly contributing to reduced cardiovascular disease risk. OBJECTIVE To determine whether liraglutide, at clinical dosing, augments myocardial glucose uptake (MGU) alone or combined with insulin compared with insulin alone in metformin-treated type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). DESIGN In a randomized clinical trial of patients with T2D treated with metformin plus oral agents or basal insulin, myocardial fuel use was compared after 3 months of treatment with insulin detemir, liraglutide, or combination detemir plus liraglutide added to background metformin. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Myocardial blood flow (MBF), fuel selection, and rates of fuel use were evaluated using positron emission tomography, powered to demonstrate large effects. RESULTS MBF was greater in the insulin-treated groups [median (25th, 75th percentile): detemir, 0.64 mL/g/min (0.50, 0.69); liraglutide, 0.52 mL/g/min (0.46, 0.58); detemir plus liraglutide, 0.75 mL/g/min (0.55, 0.77); P = 0.035 comparing three groups, P = 0.01 comparing detemir groups to liraglutide alone]. There were no evident differences among groups in MGU [detemir, 0.040 µmol/g/min (0.013, 0.049); liraglutide, 0.055 µmol/g/min (0.019, 0.105); detemir plus liraglutide, 0.037 µmol/g/min (0.009, 0.046); P = 0.68 comparing three groups]. There were no treatment-group differences in measures of myocardial fatty acid uptake or handling, and no differences in total oxidation rate. CONCLUSION These observations argue against large effects of GLP-1 agonists on myocardial fuel metabolism as mediators of beneficial treatment effects on myocardial function and ischemia protection.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the effect of liraglutide, sitagliptin and insulin glargine added to standard therapy on left ventricular function in post-ischemic type-2 diabetes mellitus patients. METHODS We evaluated 32 type-2 diabetes mellitus Caucasians with history of post-ischemic chronic heart failure NYHA class II/III and/or left ventricular ejection fraction ≤45 %. Participants underwent laboratory determinations, electrocardiogram, echocardiogram, Minnesota Living with Heart Failure questionnaire and 6 min walking test at baseline and following 52 weeks treatment. Patients were treated with standard therapy for chronic heart failure and were randomized to receive liraglutide, sitagliptin and glargine in addition to metformin and/or sulfonylurea. RESULTS Liraglutide treatment induced an improvement in left ventricular ejection fraction from 41.5 ± 2.2 to 46.3 ± 3 %; P = 0.001). On the contrary, treatment with sitagliptin and glargine induced no changes in left ventricular ejection fraction (41.8 ± 2.6 vs. 42.5 ± 2.5 % and 42 ± 1.5 vs. 42 ± 1.6 %, respectively; P = NS). Indexed end-systolic LV volume was reduced only in liraglutide-treated patients (51 ± 9 vs. 43 ± 8 ml/m2; P < 0.05). Liraglutide treatment induced also a significant increase in the anterograde stroke volume (39 ± 9 vs. 49 ± 11 ml; P < 0.05), whereas no differences were observed in the other two groups. Cardiac output and cardiac index showed a significant increase only in liraglutide-treated patients (4.4 ± 0.5 vs. 5.0 ± 0.6 L/min; P < 0.05 and 1.23 ± 0.26 vs. 1.62 ± 0.29 L/m2; P = 0.005, respectively). Liraglutide treatment was also associated with an improvement of functional capacity and an improvement of quality of life. CONCLUSIONS These data provide evidence that treatment with liraglutide is associated with improvement of cardiac function and functional capacity in failing post-ischemic type-2 diabetes mellitus patients.

Incretin-based agents in type 2 diabetic patients at cardiovascular risk: compare the effect of GLP-1 agonists and DPP-4 inhibitors on cardiovascular and pancreatic outcomes. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2017; 16:31. [PMID: 28249585 PMCID: PMC5333444 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-017-0512-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 57] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2016] [Accepted: 02/21/2017] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Incretin-based agents, including dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP-4Is) and glucagon-like peptide-1 agonists (GLP-1As), work via GLP-1 receptor for hyperglycemic control directly or indirectly, but have different effect on cardiovascular (CV) outcomes. The present study is to evaluate and compare effects of incretin-based agents on CV and pancreatic outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and high CV risk. Methods Six prospective randomized controlled trials (EXMAINE, SAVOR-TIMI53, TECOS, ELIXA, LEADER and SUSTAIN-6), which included three trials for DPP-4Is and three trials for GLP-1As, with 55,248 participants were selected to assess the effect of different categories of incretin-based agents on death, CV outcomes (CV mortality, major adverse CV events, nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, heart failure hospitalization), pancreatic events (acute pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer) as well as on hypoglycemia. Results When we evaluated the combined effect of six trials, the results suggested that incretin-based treatment had no significant effect on overall risks of CV and pancreatic outcomes compared with placebo. However, GLP-1As reduced all-cause death (RR = 0.90, 95% CI 0.82–0.98) and CV mortality (RR = 0.84, 95% CI 0.73–0.97), whereas DPP-4Is had no significant effect on CV outcomes but elevated the risk for acute pancreatitis (OR = 1.76, 95% CI 1.14–2.72) and hypoglycemia (both any and severe hypoglycemia), while GLP-1As lowered the risk of severe hypoglycemia. Conclusions GLP-1As decreased risks of all-cause and CV mortality and severe hypoglycemia, whereas DPP-4Is had no effect on CV outcomes but increased risks in acute pancreatitis and hypoglycemia.

Abstract
GLP-1 is an incretin hormone that can effectively lower blood glucose, however, the short time of biological activity and the side effect limit its therapeutic application. Many methods have been tried to optimize GLP-1 to extend its in vivo half-time, reduce its side effect and enhance its activity. Here we have chosen the idea to dimerize GLP-1 with a C-terminal lysine to form a new GLP-1 analog, DLG3312. We have explored the structure and the biological property of DLG3312, and the results indicated that DLG3312 not only remained the ability to activate the GLP-1R, but also strongly stimulated Min6 cell to secrete insulin. The in vivo bioactivities have been tested on two kinds of animal models, the STZ induced T2DM mice and the db/db mice, respectively. DLG3312 showed potent anti-diabetic ability in glucose tolerance assay and single-dose administration of DLG3312 could lower blood glucose for at least 10 hours. Long-term treatment with DLG3312 can reduce fasted blood glucose, decrease water consumption and food intake and significantly reduce the HbA1c level by 1.80% and 2.37% on STZ induced T2DM mice and the db/db mice, respectively. We also compared DLG3312 with liraglutide to investigate its integrated control of the type 2 diabetes. The results indicated that DLG3312 almost has the same effect as liraglutide but with a much simpler preparation process. In conclusion, we, by using C-terminal lysine as a linker, have synthesized a novel GLP-1 analog, DLG3312. With simplified preparation and improved physiological characterizations, DLG3312 could be considered as a promising candidate for the type 2 diabetes therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and coronary artery disease (CAD) have increased risk of cardiac dysfunction. The diabetic heart is characterized by increased fatty acid oxidation and reduced glucose uptake resulting in reduced cardiac efficiency. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) has shown to increase myocardial glucose uptake and to improve myocardial function. We examined the effect of the GLP-1 receptor agonist, liraglutide, on the systolic function of the left ventricle (LV) in patients with T2D and stable CAD. METHODS In this placebo-controlled crossover study, 41 subjects with T2D and stable CAD were randomized to liraglutide or placebo and underwent dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) and exercise tolerance test at beginning and end of each intervention. The primary endpoint was changes in LV ejection fraction. Secondary endpoints were exercise capacity and other measures of systolic function: wall motion score index (WMSI), global longitudinal strain (GLS) and strain rate (GLSR). RESULTS Liraglutide, when compared to placebo, did not improve LV ejection fraction at rest (+0.54 %; 95 % CI 2.38-3.45), at low stress (+0.03 %; 95 % CI 3.25-3.32), at peak stress (+1.12 %; 95 % CI 3.45-5.69), or at recovery (+4.06 %; 95 % CI 0.81-8.93). No significant changes in WMSI were observed at any stress levels. GLS and GLSR at rest did not improve. The maximal exercise capacity estimated by metabolic equivalents was not affected by liraglutide. CONCLUSION In conclusion, liraglutide did not improve the systolic function of the left ventricle during DSE or the exercise capacity in patients with T2D and stable CAD.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 derived cardioprotection does not utilize a KATP-channel dependent pathway: mechanistic insights from human supply and demand ischemia studies. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2016; 15:99. [PMID: 27431258 PMCID: PMC4950774 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-016-0416-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2016] [Accepted: 06/30/2016] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Glucagon-like peptide-1 (7-36) amide (GLP-1) protects against stunning and cumulative left ventricular dysfunction in humans. The mechanism remains uncertain but GLP-1 may act by opening mitochondrial K-ATP channels in a similar fashion to ischemic conditioning. We investigated whether blockade of K-ATP channels with glibenclamide abrogated the protective effect of GLP-1 in humans. METHODS Thirty-two non-diabetic patients awaiting stenting of the left anterior descending artery (LAD) were allocated into 4 groups (control, glibenclamide, GLP-1, and GLP-1 + glibenclamide). Glibenclamide was given orally prior to the procedure. A left ventricular conductance catheter recorded pressure-volume loops during a 1-min low-pressure balloon occlusion (BO1) of the LAD. GLP-1 or saline was then infused for 30-min followed by a further 1-min balloon occlusion (BO2). In a non-invasive study, 10 non-diabetic patients were randomized to receive two dobutamine stress echocardiograms (DSE) during GLP-1 infusion with or without oral glibenclamide pretreatment. RESULTS GLP-1 prevented stunning even with glibenclamide pretreatment; the Δ % dP/dtmax 30-min post-BO1 normalized to baseline after GLP-1: 0.3 ± 6.8 % (p = 0.02) and GLP-1 + glibenclamide: -0.8 ± 9.0 % (p = 0.04) compared to control: -11.5 ± 10.0 %. GLP-1 also reduced cumulative stunning after BO2: -12.8 ± 10.5 % (p = 0.02) as did GLP-1 + glibenclamide: -14.9 ± 9.2 % (p = 0.02) compared to control: -25.7 ± 9.6 %. Glibenclamide alone was no different to control. Glibenclamide pretreatment did not affect global or regional systolic function after GLP-1 at peak DSE stress (EF 74.6 ± 6.4 vs. 74.0 ± 8.0, p = 0.76) or recovery (EF 61.9 ± 5.7 vs. 61.4 ± 5.6, p = 0.74). CONCLUSIONS Glibenclamide pretreatment does not abrogate the protective effect of GLP-1 in human models of non-lethal myocardial ischemia.

Abstract
Glucagon-like peptide-1-(7-36) amide (GLP-1) is a human incretin hormone responsible for the release of insulin in response to food. Pre-clinical and human physiological studies have demonstrated cardioprotection from ischemia-reperfusion injury. It can reduce infarct size, ischemic left ventricular dysfunction, and myocardial stunning. GLP-1 receptor agonists have also been shown to reduce infarct size in myocardial infarction. The mechanism through which this protection occurs is uncertain but may include hijacking the subcellular pathways of ischemic preconditioning, modulation of myocardial metabolism, and hemodynamic effects including peripheral, pulmonary, and coronary vasodilatation. This review will assess the evidence for each of these mechanisms in turn. Challenges remain in successfully translating cardioprotective interventions from bench-to-bedside. The window of cardioprotection is short and timing of cardioprotection in the appropriate clinical setting is critically important. We will emphasize the need for high-quality, well-designed research to evaluate GLP-1 as a cardioprotective agent for use in real-world practice.

Novel application of hydrophobin in medical science: a drug carrier for improving serum stability. Sci Rep 2016; 6:26461. [PMID: 27212208 PMCID: PMC4876437 DOI: 10.1038/srep26461] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2016] [Accepted: 05/04/2016] [Indexed: 01/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Multiple physiological properties of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) ensure that it is a promising drug candidate for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. However, the in vivo half-life of GLP-1 is short because of rapid degradation by dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) and renal clearance. The poor serum stability of GLP-1 has significantly limited its clinical utility, although many studies are focused on extending the serum stability of this molecule. Hydrophobin, a self-assembling protein, was first applied as drug carrier to stabilize GLP-1 against protease degradation by forming a cavity. The glucose tolerance test clarified that the complex retained blood glucose clearance activity for 72 hours suggesting that this complex might be utilized as a drug candidate administered every 2–3 days. Additionally, it was found that the mutagenesis of hydrophobin preferred a unique pH condition for self-assembly. These findings suggested that hydrophobin might be a powerful tool as a drug carrier or a pH sensitive drug-release compound. The novel pharmaceutical applications of hydrophobin might result in future widespread interest in hydrophobin.

Abstract
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) in the gut-brain-pancreatic axis are key players in the postprandial control of metabolism and food intake. A number of intestinally located receptors have been implicated in the chemo-detection of ingested nutrients, and in the pancreatic islets and nervous system GPCRs play essential roles in the detection of many hormones and neurotransmitters. Because of the diversity, cell-specific expression and 'druggability' of the GPCR superfamily, these receptors are popular targets for therapeutic development. This review will outline current and potential future approaches to develop GPCR agonists for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. This review summarises a presentation given at the 'Novel approaches to treating type 2 diabetes' symposium at the 2015 annual meeting of the EASD. It is accompanied by a commentary by the Session Chair, Michael Nauck (DOI: 10.1007/s00125-015-3823-1 ).
