Obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus cause morphofunctional alterations in pancreatic islet alpha and beta cells. A new GLP-1/Glucagon receptor dual agonist cotadutide may benefit islet cell arrangement and function. The study found that cotadutide led to weight loss, reduced insulin resistance, and improved markers of transdifferentiation, proliferation, apoptosis, and ER stress in obese mice.
Obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) cause morphofunctional alterations in pancreatic islet alpha and beta cells. Therefore, we hypothesize that the new GLP-1/Glucagon receptor dual agonist cotadutide may benefit islet cell arrangement and function. Twelve-week-old C57BL/6 male mice were fed a control diet (C, 10 % kJ fat) or a high-fat diet (HF, 50 % kJ fat) for ten weeks. Then, the animals were divided into four groups for an additional 30 days and daily treated with subcutaneous cotadutide (30 nmol/kg) or vehicle: C, CC (control+cotadutide), HF, and HFC (high-fat+cotadutide). Cotadutide led to weight loss and reduced insulin resistance in the HFC group, increasing insulin receptor substrate 1 and solute carrier family 2 gene expressions in isolated islets. Also, cotadutide enhanced transcriptional factors related to islet cell transdifferentiation, decreasing aristaless-related homeobox and increasing the paired box 4 and 6, pancreatic and duodenal homeobox 1, v-maf musculoaponeurotic fibrosarcoma oncogene family protein A, neurogenin 3, and neurogenic differentiation 1. In addition, cotadutide improved the proliferating cell nuclear antigen, NK6 homeobox 1, B cell leukemia/lymphoma 2, but lessening caspase 3. Furthermore, cotadutide mitigated the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-responsive genes, reducing transcription factor 4, DNA-damage-inducible transcript 3, and growth arrest and DNA-damage-inducible 45. In conclusion, our data demonstrated significant beneficial actions of cotadutide in DIO mice, such as weight loss, glycemic control, and insulin resistance improvement. In addition, cotadutide counteracted the pathological adaptive cellular arrangement of the pancreatic islet in obese mice, improving the markers of the transdifferentiating pathway, proliferation, apoptosis, and ER stress.
