The C-terminal regions of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) bind to the N terminus of the GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R), facilitating interaction of the ligand N terminus with the receptor transmembrane domain. In contrast, the agonist exendin-4 relies less on the transmembrane domain, and truncated antagonist analogs (e.g. exendin 9–39) may interact solely with the receptor N terminus. Here we used mutagenesis to explore the role of residues highly conserved in the predicted transmembrane helices of mammalian GLP-1Rs and conserved in family B G protein coupled receptors in ligand binding and GLP-1R activation. By iteration using information from the mutagenesis, along with the available crystal structure of the receptor N terminus and a model of the active opsin transmembrane domain, we developed a structural receptor model with GLP-1 bound and used this to better understand consequences of mutations. Mutation at Y152 [transmembrane helix (TM) 1], R190 (TM2), Y235 (TM3), H363 (TM6), and E364 (TM6) produced similar reductions in affinity for GLP-1 and exendin 9–39. In contrast, other mutations either preferentially [K197 (TM2), Q234 (TM3), and W284 (extracellular loop 2)] or solely [D198 (TM2) and R310 (TM5)] reduced GLP-1 affinity. Reduced agonist affinity was always associated with reduced potency. However, reductions in potency exceeded reductions in agonist affinity for K197A, W284A, and R310A, while H363A was uncoupled from cAMP generation, highlighting critical roles of these residues in translating binding to activation. Data show important roles in ligand binding and receptor activation of conserved residues within the transmembrane domain of the GLP-1R. The receptor structural model provides insight into the roles of these residues.

Interleukin (IL)-6 in the hypothalamus and hindbrain is an important downstream mediator of suppression of body weight and food intake by glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor stimulation. CNS GLP-1 is produced almost exclusively in prepro-glucagon neurons in the nucleus of the solitary tract. These neurons innervate energy balance-regulating areas, such as the external lateral parabrachial nucleus (PBNel); essential for induction of anorexia. Using a validated novel IL-6-reporter mouse strain, we investigated the interactions in PBNel between GLP-1, IL-6, and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP, a well-known mediator of anorexia). We show that PBNel GLP-1R-containing cells highly (to about 80%) overlap with IL-6-containing cells on both protein and mRNA level. Intraperitoneal administration of a GLP-1 analogue exendin-4 to mice increased the proportion of IL-6-containing cells in PBNel 3-fold, while there was no effect in the rest of the lateral parabrachial nucleus. In contrast, injections of an anorexigenic peptide growth and differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) markedly increased the proportion of CGRP-containing cells, while IL-6-containing cells were not affected. In summary, GLP-1R are found on IL-6-producing cells in PBNel, and GLP-1R stimulation leads to an increase in the proportion of cells with IL-6-reporter fluorescence, supporting IL-6 mediation of GLP-1 effects on energy balance.

RATIONALE: Sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) is a mitochondrial protein deacetylase that maintains basal ATP yield and its expression level is increased by fasting, exercise, and some NAD+ intermediates. We recently reported that the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist exendin-4 (Ex-4) ameliorated cardiac mitochondrial remodeling in diabetic cardiomyopathy via increase in cardiac cyclic AMP (AJP2013). Because changes in cyclic AMP level is regulated by adenylyl cyclase which is one of the downstream target of Ex-4, we hypothesized that SIRT3 may involve in the Ex-4-mediated myocardial reverse remodeling of mitochondria in diabetic mice. METHODS: Type 2 diabetic Mice (16-week old male) were allocated into experimental groups as follows: Ex-4 (24 nmole/kg/day, subcutaneously administrated by osmotic pump for 40 days, DIO/Ex-4) and vehicle control (DIO/CON). Heart samples and cultured rat neonatal cardiomyocytes were subjected to mitochondrial fractionation using density gradient. RESULTS: Cardiac cyclic AMP concentration and phosphorylation of CREB were elevated in DIO-ex4, suggesting successful administration of Ex-4. Electron microscopic analysis revealed that Ex-4 reversed destroyed cristae structure and defragmented mitochondria of DIO/CON heart. The ratio of expression levels of Mitofusin-1 (Mfn1) and mitofusin-2 (Mfn2) was consistently suppressed by Ex-4 treatment, suggesting normalization of mitochondrial morphology. Of note, DIO-CON exhibited marked decrease in cardiac SIRT3 level compared to lean/nondiabetic counterpart, which was reversed by exendin-4 treatment. Pharmacological production of intracellular cAMP levels (Isoprotelenol (10 microM) and 8-bromo-cyclic AMP (1 mM)) increased SIRT3 mRNA in cultured primary cardiomyocytes. The AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) inhibitition blocked the increase in SIRT3 mRNA, indicating that the SIRT3 expression was regulated by AMPK-dependent manner. CONCLUSIONS: Our results indicate that Ex-4 reversed abnormal suppression of SIRT3 in mitochondria via activating the PKA/AMPK-dependent pathway.
