Exendin-4 does not modify growth or apoptosis of human colon cancer cells.
    Endocrine research, 2017, Volume: 42, Issue:3

    Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists are a kind of very popular antidiabetes drugs. They promote cell proliferation and survival through activation of signaling pathways in human islet cells involving phosphate idylinositol 3 kinase (PI3K) and extracellular regulated kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2), which are frequently activated in human colon cancer cells. Then, it is possible that taking GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists persistently would induce proliferation of β cells as well as colon cancer cells. So, clarifying the effects and mechanisms of GLP-1R agonists on colon cancer cells has important clinical implications.. We investigated GLP-1R expression in human colon cancer tissue samples with immunohistochemisty analysis and explored the effects of exendin-4, a GLP-1 receptor agonist, on colon cancer cells in vitro and in vivo.. The results showed lack of GLP-1R expression in both human colon cancer tissues and colon cancer cell lines. Exendin-4 did not enhance the proliferation and migration of colon cancer cell lines in vitro, and nor did it inhibit apoptosis induced by cytotoxic agents such as 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) or irinotecan. In addition, exendin-4 did not promote the propagation of colon cancer cells in vivo.. Our study suggests that GLP-1R agonists do not modify the growth or survival of human colon cancer cells and may be safe for diabetic patients with colon cancer.

Exenatide suppresses 1,2-dimethylhydrazine-induced colon cancer in diabetic mice: Effect on tumor angiogenesis and cell proliferation.
    Biomedicine & pharmacotherapy = Biomedecine & pharmacotherapie, 2016, Volume: 82

    Colon cancer is the third leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide, which results from interactions of different factors. It is frequently a pathological consequence of persistent inflammation. Diabetes affects several cancers and is positively correlated with the incidence of colon cancer. This study aimed to study the effect of exenatide in ameliorating inflammation, angiogenesis and cell proliferation in 1,2-dimethyl hydrazine (DMH) induced colorectal carcinoma in diabetic mice. Mice were randomly allocated into six groups, 8 mice each. Group 1: vehicle control group. Group 2: diabetic control group. Group 3: DMH control group: diabetic mice treated with DMH (20mg/kg/week,s.c.) for 15 week. Group 4: DMH-cisplatin group: mice received cisplatin (4mg/kg/week, i.p.). Groups 5 & 6: DMH-exenatide (10 and 20μg/kg) group: mice received exenatide (10 or 20μg/kg/day,s.c.), respectively. The present results highlighted an increase in angiogenic markers and cell proliferation in the DMH-diabetic group in comparison with the control group with greater expression of endothelial marker (CD34) and Ki-67 in colon tissue. Monotherapy with cisplatin or exenatide (10 and 20μg/kg) downregulated these markers to different extents. The current results provided evidence that exenatide represents a promising chemopreventive effect against DMH-induced colon carcinogenesis in diabetic mice, at least in part, attributed to its anti-angiogenic and anti-proliferative mechanisms.

Exenatide Facilitates Recovery from Oxaliplatin-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy in Rats.
    PloS one, 2015, Volume: 10, Issue:11

    Oxaliplatin has widely been used as a key drug in the treatment of colorectal cancer; however, it causes peripheral neuropathy. Exenatide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonist, is an incretin mimetic secreted from ileal L cells, which is clinically used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus. GLP-1 receptor agonists have been reported to exhibit neuroprotective effects on the central and peripheral nervous systems. In this study, we investigated the effects of exenatide on oxaliplatin-induced neuropathy in rats and cultured cells.. Oxaliplatin (4 mg/kg) was administered intravenously twice per week for 4 weeks, and mechanical allodynia was evaluated using the von Frey test in rats. Axonal degeneration was assessed by toluidine blue staining of sciatic nerves.. Repeated administration of oxaliplatin caused mechanical allodynia from day 14 to 49. Although the co-administration of extended-release exenatide (100 μg/kg) could not inhibit the incidence of oxaliplatin-induced mechanical allodynia, it facilitated recovery from the oxaliplatin-induced neuropathy with reparation of axonal degeneration. Inhibition of neurite outgrowth was evaluated in cultured pheochromocytoma 12 (PC12) cells. Exenatide inhibited oxaliplatin-induced neurite degeneration, but did not affect oxaliplatin-induced cell injury in cultured PC12 cells. Additionally, extended-release exenatide had no effect on the anti-tumor activity of oxaliplatin in cultured murine colon adenocarcinoma 26 (C-26) cells or C-26 cell-implanted mice.. These results suggest that exenatide may be useful for treating peripheral neuropathy induced by oxaliplatin in colorectal cancer patients with type 2 diabetes.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonism or DPP-4 inhibition does not accelerate neoplasia in carcinogen treated mice.
    Regulatory peptides, 2012, Nov-10, Volume: 179, Issue:1-3

    Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2) are secreted in parallel from the intestinal endocrine cells after nutrient intake. GLP-1 is an incretin hormone and analogues are available for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). GLP-2 is an intestinal growth hormone and is shown to promote growth of colonic adenomas in carcinogen treated mice. Both peptides are degraded by dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) into inactive metabolites. DPP-4 inhibitors are therefore also in use for treatment of T2DM. It is possible that DPP-4 inhibition by enhancing the exposure of endogenous GLP-2 to the intestinal epithelia also might mediate growth and promote neoplasia. We investigated the intestinal growth effect of the GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) (liraglutide and exenatide) and DPP-4 inhibition (sitagliptin) in healthy mice. We also investigated the potential tumour promoting effect of liraglutide and sitaglitin in the colon of carcinogen treated mice. We used GLP-2 as a positive control.. For the growth study we treated healthy CD1 mice with liraglutide (300 μg×2), exenatide (12.5 μg×2) or vehicle subcutaneously and sitagliptin (8mg×2) or water by oral gavage for 10 or 30 days. We measured intestinal weight, cross sectional area, villus height and crypt depth. For the tumour study we treated carcinogen treated mice (1,2 dimethylhydrazine 21 mg/kg/week for 12 weeks) with liraglutide (300 μg×2), Gly2-GLP-2 (25 μg×2) or vehicle subcutaneously and sitagliptin (8 mg×2) or water by oral gavage for 45 days. We counted aberrant crypt foci (ACF), mucin depleted foci (MDF) and adenomas in the colon. Using COS-7 cells transfected with a GLP-2 receptor, we tested if liraglutide or exenatide could activate the receptor.. In the 10 days experiment the relative small intestinal weight was increased with 56% in the liraglutide group (p<0.001) and 26% in the exenatide group (p<01) compared with vehicle treated mice. After 30 days of treatment, liraglutide did also increase the colonic weight (p<0.01). By morphometry the growth pattern mimicked that of GLP-2. Sitagliptin treatment had only a minor effect. In the carcinogen treated mice we found no increase of ACF in any of the groups, the numbers of MDF and adenomas after liraglutide and sitagliptin treatments were similar to their respective control groups. Neither liraglutide nor exenatide stimulated cAMP release from GLP-2 receptor transfected cells.. Both GLP-1 analogues were potent growth stimulators of the healthy mouse intestine. No agonism was found for GLP-1 RAs at the GLP-2 receptor. Despite of the growth effect, liraglutide did not promote dysplasia in the colon. Sitagliptin did not show any tumour promoting effects, and non considerable growth effects.
