Behavioural and neurochemical mechanisms underpinning the synergistic feeding-suppressive effect of GLP-1/CCK combinatorial therapy

ABSTRACT: Combinatorial therapies are under intense investigation for the development of more efficient anti-obesity drugs, however little is known about how they act in brain to produce enhanced satiety and weight loss. Here we used a multidisciplinary strategy to decipher the central mechanisms engaged downstream from the co-administration of GLP-1R and CCK1R agonists, an efficient combination therapy in obese rodents. The nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) contained one of the few neuronal populations synergistically activated in response to GLP-1R and CCK1R co-agonism. None of the previously categorized NTS neuronal subpopulations relevant to feeding behaviour were synergistically activated. However, using PhosphoTRAP, we obtained the molecular signature of NTS and ARH neurons synergistically regulated by the GLP-1R and CCK1R co-agonism and identified NTS/AP Calcrl+ neurons and ARH Adcyap1r1+ neurons as targets of this treatment. Collectively these studies advance our understanding of the central mechanisms involved in the synergistic appetite- and weight-suppressive effect of a combinatorial therapy.

Hypothalamic and dorsal vagal glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor (GIPR) neurons employ distinct mechanisms to affect feeding

Project description:Central glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor (GIPR) signalling is critical for GIP-based therapeutics to lower body weight, but pathways leveraged by GIPR agonism pharmacology in the brain remain incompletely understood. We explored the role of Gipr neurons in the hypothalamus and dorsal vagal complex (DVC)—brain regions critical to the control of energy balance. Hypothalamic expression of Gipr expression was not necessary for the synergistic effect of GIPR/ agonism combined with GLP-1R co-agonism on body weight. While chemogenetic stimulation of both hypothalamic and DVC Gipr neurons suppressed food intake, activation of DVC Gipr neurons reduced ambulatory activity and induced conditioned taste avoidance, while there was no effect of a short-acting GIPR agonist (SAGIPRA). Within the DVC, Gipr neurons of the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS), but not the area postrema (AP), projected to the parabrachial nucleus and paraventricular hypothalamic nucleusdistal brain regions. ScRNAseq and FISH analysis showed that Gipr neurons in the NTS and AP Gipr neurons were transcriptomically distinct. Peripherally-dosed fluorescent GIPR agonists (GIPRAs) revealed that GIPRA access was restricted to circumventricular organs in the CNS. Together tThese data demonstrate that while the hypothalamus, AP and NTS are key sites for Gipr expression, these subpopulations of Gipr neurons in the hypothalamus, AP and NTS differ in their connectivity, transcriptomic profile, peripheral accessibility to peripherally administered GIPRAs, and the appetite controlling pathways they employ. These results highlight the heterogeneity of the central GIPR signalling axis, and suggest that studies aimed at understandinginto the effects of GIP pharmacology on feeding behaviour should consider the interplay of multiple regulatory pathways.

Chronic GIPR agonism mediates weight-independent insulin sensitization by tirzepatide in obese insulin resistant mice

Project description:Tirzepatide (LY3298176), a dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist, has been shown to deliver enhanced glycemic control and superior weight loss compared to a selective GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonist in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. However, the mechanism by which tirzepatide improves efficacy and how GIP receptor (GIPR) agonism contributes to the therapy is not fully understood. Here, hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp studies were used to show that tirzepatide is a highly effective insulin sensitizer, improving insulin sensitivity in obese mice to a greater extent than GLP-1R agonism. To determine if GIPR agonism contributes to the insulin sensitization, we compared the effect of tirzepatide in obese wild-type and Glp-1r null mice. In the absence of GLP-1R induced weight loss, tirzepatide improved systemic insulin sensitivity by enhancing glucose disposal in WAT. To corroborate these results, chronic treatment with a long-acting GIPR agonist (LAGIPRA) was also found to enhance insulin sensitivity by increasing insulin stimulated glucose uptake in WAT. Interestingly, the effect of tirzepatide and LAGIPRA on insulin sensitivity was associated with reduced branched chain amino and keto acids in the circulation. Whole-body insulin sensitization was associated with pronounced upregulation of genes associated with the catabolism of glucose, lipid and BCAAs in brown adipose tissue. Together, our studies show that tirzepatide improved insulin sensitivity in a weight-dependent and -independent manner. These results highlight how GIPR agonism contributes to the therapeutic profile of dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonism, offering mechanistic insights into the clinical efficacy of tirzepatide.

Therapeutic PYY/GLP-1 receptor co-agonism in obese-diabetic mice

Project description:Therapeutic PYY/GLP-1 receptor co-agonism in obese-diabetic mice synergistically activates discrete hypothalamic and brainstem neuronal circuitries for weight reduction, increased insulin sensitization, recovery of pancreatic ß-cell function and diabetes remission. GLP1-R agonism (IP118) and PYY-2R agonism (PY115) in combination yield surprising synergistic effects on energy homeostasis in mammals. To better understand the genesis of these effects, RNAseq profiling was performed on key brain regions following an acute dose of IP118+PY115.

BI 456906: a dual glucagon-like peptide-1/glucagon agonist promoting bodyweight reduction

Project description:Glucagon and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) are hormones involved in energy homeostasis. GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonism reduces food intake and delays gastric emptying, and glucagon receptor (GCGR) agonism increases energy expenditure by thermogenesis. BI 456906 is a subcutaneous, once-weekly injectable dual GLP-1R/GCGR agonist in development for the treatment of obesity or non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. Here we show that BI 456906 is a potent dual agonist with an extended half-life in human plasma. Key GLP-1R-mediated mechanisms of reduced food intake, delayed gastric emptying and improved glucose tolerance were confirmed in GLP-1R knockout mice. GCGR activity was confirmed by reduced plasma amino acids, increased hepatic expression of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase and increased energy expenditure. BI 456906 produced greater bodyweight reductions than maximally efficacious semaglutide doses and modulated gene expression, including genes involved in amino acid metabolism. BI 456906 is a potent dual agonist that produces bodyweight-lowering effects through both GLP-1R and GCGR agonism.

A genetic map of the murine dorsal vagal complex and its role in obesity [single-cell RNA-seq and ATAC-seq]

Project description:The brainstem dorsal vagal complex (DVC) is known to regulate energy balance and is the target of appetite suppressing hormones, such as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). Here we provide a comprehensive genetic map of the DVC and identify neuronal populations that control feeding. Combining bulk and single-nucleus gene expression and chromatin profiling of DVC cells, we reveal 25 neuronal populations with unique transcriptional and chromatin accessibility landscapes and peptide receptor expression profiles. GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonist administration induces gene expression alterations specific to two distinct sets of Glp1r neurons – one population in the area postrema (AP) and one in the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) that also expresses calcitonin receptor (Calcr). Transcripts and regions of accessible chromatin linked to obesity-associated genetic variants are enriched in AP and NTS neurons that express Glp1r and/or Calcr, and activation of several of these neuronal populations decreases feeding in rodents. Thus, DVC neuronal populations associated with obesity predisposition suppress feeding and may represent targets for therapy of obesity.

GLP-1 directed NMDA receptor antagonism for obesity treatment

Project description:The N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor is a glutamate-activated cation channel critical to many processes in the brain. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) suggest that glutamatergic neurotransmission and NMDA receptor-mediated synaptic plasticity is important for body weight homeostasis1. Here, we report the engineering and preclinical development of a first-in-class bimodal molecule that integrates NMDA receptor antagonism with glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonism to effectively reverse obesity, hyperglycemia, and dyslipidemia in rodent models of metabolic disease. We demonstrate that GLP-1-directed delivery of the NMDA receptor antagonist MK-801 affects NMDA receptor-mediated synaptic plasticity in the hypothalamus. Importantly, peptide-targeting of MK-801 specifically to GLP-1 receptor-expressing brain regions circumvent adverse physiological and behavioral effects associated with MK-801 monotherapy. In sum, our approach demonstrates the feasibility of cell specific ionotropic receptor-modulation via peptide targeting and highlights the therapeutic potential of unimolecular mixed GLP-1 receptor agonism and NMDA receptor antagonism for obesity treatment.
