Project description:Glucagon (GCG) analogues are gaining attention as promising components in incretin-based therapeutics for obesity and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis. However, the biology of chronic glucagon treatment, in particular, the molecular underpinnings of GCG-induced energy expenditure and lipid metabolism, remain poorly defined. We utilized a long-acting GCG analogue (LA-GCG) in conjunction with hepatic and adipose glucagon receptor knockout mouse models. Through an integrative approach that combined metabolic, biochemical and omics techniques, we investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying GCG-induced energy expenditure and metabolic benefits. We demonstrate that the LA-GCG enhances energy expenditure in diet-induced obese mice with an essential role of hepatic, but not adipose, GCGR signaling. Intriguingly, the enhancement in energy expenditure is observed only in obese but not in lean mice. The preferential efficacy is plausibly found in a prolonged activation of cAMP/PKA signaling through PDE4B/4D downregulation by LA-GCG. Conversely, the cAMP/PKA signaling is promptly attenuated by the PDE4B/4D activity in lean mice. Interestingly, unlike the EE phenotype, the lipid-clearing capacity of LA-GCG is independent of the PDE4/cAMP/PKA axis. These findings provide the molecular basis for GCG-induced energy expenditure and metabolic benefits and suggest the phenotypic segregation of cAMP/PKA-dependent and independent effects.

Project description:Factors that increase cAMP levels can induce lineage-specific differentiation of glioma cells into astrocyte-like cells. However, the differentiation pattern and underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we find that cAMP/PKA/CREB1-induced miR-221/222 suppression contributes to the neuron-like differentiation of gliomas. cAMP agonists selectively induced neuron- and astrocyte-like but not oligodendrocyte-like differentiation of C6 glioma cells. PKA inhibitors and CREB1 knockout blocked neuron-like differentiation of glioma cells. cAMP inhibited miR-221/222 in a PKA/CREB1 dependent manner. Importantly, both in vitro and in vivo assays demonstrated that transcriptional suppression of miR-221/222 is required for neuronal differentiation of glioma cells. Our findings suggest that increasing cAMP levels can induce bidirectional differentiation of glioma cells. Furthermore, the miR-221/222 cluster acts as an epigenetic brake during glioma differentiation.

Project description:CagriSema is a combination of amylin (cagrilintide) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (semaglutide) analogues being developed for weight management. We quantified CagriSema’s action on energy intake and expenditure in rats. CagriSema caused 12% weight loss and a 39% reduction in food intake. In contrast, pair-feeding caused less weight loss while weight-matching required a 51% decrease in food intake. Approximately 1/3 of CagriSema’s weight loss efficacy was from an energy expenditure effect, blunting of metabolic adaptation, which is likely a hallmark of successful treatment of obesity.
