| 1 | Synergistic activation of AMPK by AdipoR1/2 agonist and inhibitor of EDPs-EBP interaction recover NAFLD through enhancing mitochondrial function in mice显示文摘Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD),especially nonalcoholic steatohepatitis(NASH),is a common hepatic manifestation of metabolic syndrome.However,there are no effective therapy to treat this devastating disease.Accumulating evidence suggests that the generation of elastin-derived peptides(EDPs)and the inhibition of adiponectin receptors(Adipo R)1/2 plays essential roles in hepatic lipid metabolism and liver fibrosis.We recently reported that the AdipoR1/2 dual agonist JT003 significantly degraded the extracellular matrix(ECM)and ameliorated liver fibrosis.However,the degradation of the ECM lead to the generation of EDPs,which could further alter liver homeostasis negatively.Thus,in this study,we successfully combined AdipoR1/2 agonist JT003 with V14,which acted as an inhibitor of EDPs-EBP interaction to overcome the defect of ECM degradation.We found that combination of JT003 and V14 possessed excellent synergistic benefits on ameliorating NASH and liver fibrosis than either alone since they compensate the shortage of each other.These effects are induced by the enhancement of the mitochondrial antioxidant capacity,mitophagy,and mitochondrial biogenesis via AMPK pathway.Furthermore,specific suppression of AMPK could block the effects of the combination of JT003 and V14 on reduced oxidative stress,increased mitophagy and mitochondrial biogenesis.These positive results suggested that this administration of combination of AdipoR1/2 dual agonist and inhibitor of EDPs-EBP interaction can be recommended alternatively for an effective and promising therapeutic strategy for the treatment of NAFLD and NASH related fibrosis. | Nazi Song Hongjiao Xu Shuohan Wu Suijia Luo Jingyao Xu Qian Zhao Rui Wang Xianxing Jiang | 2023 | Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B2023,13,2: | 0 |
| 2 | Design and discovery of a highly potent ultralong-acting GLP-1 and glucagon co-agonist for attenuating renal fibrosis显示文摘The role of co-agonists of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor(GLP-1R)and glucagon receptor(GCGR)in chronic kidney disease(CKD)remains unclear.Herein we found that GLP-1R and GCGR expression levels were lower in the kidneys of mice with CKD compared to healthy mice and were correlated with disease severity.Interestingly,GLP-1R or GCGR knockdown aggravated the progression of kidney injury in both diabetic db/db mice and non-diabetic mice undergoing unilateral ureteral obstruction(UUO).Based on the importance of GLP-1R and GCGR in CKD,we reported a novel monomeric peptide,1907-B,with dual-agonism on both GLP-1R and GCGR.The data confirmed that 1907-B had a longer half-life than long-acting semaglutide in rats or cynomolgus monkeys(~2-3 fold)and exhibited better therapeutic contribution to CKD than best-in-class monoagonists,semaglutide,or glucagon,in db/db mice and UUO mice.Various lock-of-function models,including selective pharmacological activation and genetic knockdown,confirmed that 1907-B’s effects on ameliorating diabetic nephropathy in db/db mice,as well as inhibiting kidney fibrosis in UUO mice,were mediated through GLP-1 and glucagon signaling.These findings highlight that 1907-B,a novel GLP-1R and GCGR co-agonist,exerts multifactorial improvement in kidney injuries and is an effective and promising therapeutic option for CKD treatment. | Qian Zhao Jiale Dong Han Liu Hui Chen Huan Yu Shuyin Ye Shuangjin Yu Yu Li Longhui Qiu Nazi Song Hongjiao Xu Qi Liu Zhiteng Luo Yuyi Li Rui Wang Guodong Chen Xianxing Jiang | 2024 | Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B2024,14,3: | 0 |
| 3 | Design of a highly potent GLP-1R and GCGR dual-agonist for recovering hepatic fibrosis显示文摘Currently, there is still no effective curative treatment for the development of late-stage liver fibrosis. Here, we have illustrated that TB001, a dual glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor/glucagon receptor(GLP-1 R/GCGR) agonist with higher affinity towards GCGR, could retard the progression of liver fibrosis in various rodent models, with remarkable potency, selectivity, extended half-life and low toxicity. Four types of liver fibrosis animal models which were induced by CCl_(4), a-naphthyl-isothiocyanate(ANIT), bile duct ligation(BDL) and Schistosoma japonicum were used in our study. We found that TB001 treatment dose-dependently significantly attenuated liver injury and collagen accumulation in these animal models. In addition to decreased levels of extracellular matrix(ECM) accumulation during hepatic injury, activation of hepatic stellate cells was also inhibited via suppression of TGF-β expression as well as downstream Smad signaling pathways particularly in CCl_(4)-and S. japonicum-induced liver fibrosis. Moreover, TB001 attenuated liver fibrosis through blocking downstream activation of proinflammatory nuclear factor kappa B/NF-kappa-B inhibitor alpha(NFκB/IKBa) pathways as well as cJun N-terminal kinase(JNK)-dependent induction of hepatocyte apoptosis. Furthermore, GLP-1 R and/or GCGR knock-down results represented GCGR played an important role in ameliorating CCl_(4)-induced hepatic fibrosis. Therefore, TB001 can be used as a promising therapeutic candidate for the treatment of multiple causes of hepatic fibrosis demonstrated by our extensive pre-clinical evaluation of TB001. | Nazi Song Hongjiao Xu Jiahua Liu Qian Zhao Hui Chen Zhibin Yan Runling Yang Zhiteng Luo Qi Liu Jianmei Ouyang Shuohan Wu Suijia Luo Shuyin Ye Runfeng Lin Xi Sun Junqiu Xie Tian Lan Zhongdao Wu Rui Wang Xianxing Jiang | 2022 | Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B2022,12,5: | 0 |
