ABSTRACT

Glucagon-like peptide-1 ( GLP-1 ) is secreted by gut enteroendocrine cells. GLP-1 receptor agonists ( GLP-1 RAs) control glucose-related augmentation of insulin and suppress glu-cagon secretion. GLP-lRAs also inhibit gastric emptying, food intake and limit weight gain. In the past decade, significant progresses have been made in the investigation on the effects of GLP-1 RAs on cardiovascular system. The potential advantages of oral small-molecule GLP-1 RAs could improve the application of this class of drugs. This review highlights the multiple cardiovascular profiles of GLP-1 RAs in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases to provide new insights into cardiovascular benefits of GLP-1 RAs.

ABSTRACT

Aim To establish a high-throughput screening cell model for GLP-1 receptor agonists. Methods A pEGFP-GLP-1R-3 C recombinant plasmid was constructed and transfected into HEK293T cells. The cells were screened with G418 and flow cytometry. The established stable cell line was named HEK293TGLP-lR-3C-eGFP cell line. The expression level of GLP-1 R-3C-eGFP protein was confirmed by Western blotting and laser confocal microscopy. Then cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) response element reporter gene was transfected into the HEK293T-GLP-lR-3C-eGFP cells. The luminescence values were detected by One-Step Luciferase Reporter Gene Assay Kit after stimulation with different concentrations of GLP-1 peptide. The luminescence values reflected the cellular cAMP level, which was verified using the cAMP kit (E L I S A). Results HEK293T-GLP-lR-3C-eGFP cell line was successfully constructed. The relative light unit change trend after stimulation with different concentrations of GLP-1 was similar to that of the cellular cAMP level change trend. The value of Z' in this experiment was 0.52. Conclusions A recombinant HEK293T cell line is established, which can be used for high-throughput screening of GLP-1 receptor agonists.

ABSTRACT

Conformation dynamics attributes to the biological functions of active proteins and conformation ensembles. The conformation ensembles include protein stable states (PSS) that can be measured by conventional structural biology approaches and the invisible protein states (IPS) that cannot be measured by conventional structural biology ones. The conformational exchange between IPS and PSS plays an important role in the biological functions of proteins. In this review, we briefly describe the basic properties of IPS and discuss its contribution to the development of the classical molecular recognition mechanism of “keylock hypothesis” and "induced fit hypothesis" into "conformational selection hypothesis". Furthermore, this review compares the advantages and disadvantages of the current structural biology approaches for investigating the conformational properties of IPS. Because of advanced NMR technology, the exploration of the conformational properties of IPS in experimental manner has become feasible. It is expected that the study of IPS and its function will not only help clarify the molecule recognition mechanism of proteins, but also provide a basis for guiding the design of targeted drugs.
