BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2) is secreted postprandially by enteroendocrine L-cells and stimulates growth of the gut and bone. One GLP-2 analogue is approved for short bowel syndrome (SBS). To improve therapeutic efficacy, we developed biased GLP-2 receptor (GLP-2R) agonists through N-terminal modifications.
EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: Variants with Ala and Trp substitutions of the first seven positions of GLP-2(1-33) were studied in vitro for affinity, G protein activation (cAMP accumulation), recruitment of β-arrestin 1 and 2, and internalization of the human and mouse GLP-2R. The intestinotrophic actions of the most efficacious (cAMP) biased variant were examined in mice.
KEY RESULTS: Ala substitutions had more profound effects than Trp substitutions. For both, alterations at positions 1, 3 and 6 most severely impaired activity. β-arrestin recruitment was more affected than cAMP accumulation. Among Ala substitutions, [H1A], [D3A] and [F6A] impaired potency (EC50 ) for cAMP-accumulation >20-fold and efficacy (Emax ) to 48%-87%, and were unable to recruit arrestins. The Trp substitutions, [A2W], [D3W] and [G4W] were partial agonists (Emax of 46%-59%) with 1.7-12-fold decreased potencies in cAMP and diminished β-arrestin recruitment. The biased variants, [F6A], [F6W] and [S7W] induced less GLP-2R internalization compared with GLP-2, which induced internalization in a partly arrestin-independent manner. In mice, [S7W] enhanced gut trophic actions with increased weight of the small intestine, increased villus height and crypt depth compared with GLP-2.
CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS: G protein-biased GLP-2R agonists with diminished receptor desensitization have superior intestinotrophic effects and may represent improved treatment of intestinal insufficiency including SBS.
