Anagliptin suppresses diet-induced obesity through enhancing leptin sensitivity and ameliorating hyperphagia in high-fat high-sucrose diet fed mice.
    Endocrine journal, 2020, May-28, Volume: 67, Issue:5

    Obesity is a major risk factors for type 2 diabetes, and weight loss is beneficial to diabetic patients who are obese or overweight. Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors are anti-diabetic drugs. Although it has been known that the effect of most of the DPP-4 inhibitors on body weight is neutral, several studies suggested that some DPP-4 inhibitors suppressed body weight. Nonetheless, the mechanisms underlying DPP-4 inhibitor-induced weight loss are not fully understood. In this study, the mice fed high-fat high sucrose diet (HFHSD) containing a DPP4 inhibitor, anagliptin, showed reduced food intake and body weight compared to the mice fed non-treated HFHSD, but oxygen consumption and respiratory exchange ratio (RER) were not altered. Sequential administration of leptin suppressed food intake and body weight more apparently in anagliptin treated HFHSD fed mice than non-treated HFHSD fed mice. Oxygen consumption and RER were comparable between anagliptin treated and non-treated mice after leptin administration. The number of phospho STAT3 expressed cells in the arcuate nucleus after leptin administration was increased in anagliptin treated mice compared to non-treated mice. These data suggested that anagliptin ameliorated leptin resistance induced by HFHSD and thereby decreased food intake and body weight. These effects of anagliptin could be beneficial to the treatment of obese diabetic patients.

Stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF1) attenuates platelet-derived growth factor-B (PDGF-B)-induced vascular remodeling for adipose tissue expansion in obesity.
    Angiogenesis, 2020, Volume: 23, Issue:4

    Platelet-derived growth factor-B (PDGF-B) is a main factor to promote adipose tissue angiogenesis, which is responsible for the tissue expansion in obesity. In this process, PDGF-B induces the dissociation of pericytes from blood vessels; however, its regulatory mechanism remains unclear. In the present study, we found that stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF1) plays an essential role in this regulatory mechanism. SDF1 mRNA was increased in epididymal white adipose tissue (eWAT) of obese mice. Ex vivo pharmacological analyses using cultured adipose tissue demonstrated that physiological concentrations (1-100 pg/mL) of SDF1 inhibited the PDGF-B-induced pericyte dissociation from vessels via two cognate SDF1 receptors, CXCR4 and CXCR7. In contrast, higher concentrations (> 1 ng/mL) of SDF1 alone caused the dissociation of pericytes via CXCR4, and this effect disappeared in the cultured tissues from PDGF receptor β (PDGFRβ) knockout mice. To investigate the role of SDF1 in angiogenesis in vivo, the effects of anagliptin, an inhibitor of dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) that degrades SDF1, were examined in mice fed a high-fat diet. Anagliptin increased the SDF1 levels in the serum and eWAT. These changes were associated with a reduction of pericyte dissociation and fat accumulation in eWAT. AMD3100, a CXCR4 antagonist, cancelled these anagliptin effects. In flow-cytometry analysis, anagliptin increased and decreased the PDGF-B expression in endothelial cells and macrophages, respectively, whereas anagliptin reduced the PDGFRβ expression in pericytes of eWAT. These results suggest that SDF1 negatively regulates the adipose tissue angiogenesis in obesity by altering the reactivity of pericytes to PDGF-B.

Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor anagliptin ameliorates diabetes in mice with haploinsufficiency of glucokinase on a high-fat diet.
    Metabolism: clinical and experimental, 2013, Volume: 62, Issue:7

    Type 2 diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia with insulin resistance and impaired insulin secretion. DPP-4 inhibitors have attracted attention as a new class of anti-diabetic agents for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. We investigated the effects of anagliptin, a highly selective DPP-4 inhibitor, on insulin secretion and insulin resistance in high-fat diet-fed mice with haploinsufficiency of glucokinase (GckKO) as animal models of type 2 diabetes.. Wild-type and GckKO mice were administered two doses of anagliptin by dietary admixture (0.05% and 0.3%) for 10weeks.. Both doses of anagliptin significantly inhibited the plasma DPP-4 activity and increased the plasma active GLP-1 levels in both the wild-type and GckKO mice to a similar degree. After 10weeks of treatment with 0.3% anagliptin, body weight gain and food intake were significantly suppressed in both wild-type and GckKO mice. In addition, 0.3% anagliptin ameliorated insulin resistance and glucose intolerance in both genotypes of mice. On the other hand, treatment with 0.05% anagliptin was not associated with any significant change of the body weight, food intake or insulin sensitivity in either genotype of mice, but it did improve the glucose tolerance by enhancing insulin secretion and increasing the β-cell mass in both genotypes of mice.. High-dose anagliptin treatment improved glucose tolerance by suppression of body weight gain and amelioration of insulin resistance, whereas low-dose anagliptin treatment improved glucose tolerance by enhancing insulin secretion.
