METHODS Male diabetic db /db mice(BKS.Cg-Dock7m+/+Leprdb/J) aged 10 wk received the dipeptidyl peptidase 4(DPP4) inhibitor linagliptin(10 mg/kg) or saline as a placebo once per day by gavage for 8 wk. Intact db/db mice served as controls. Structural changes in the liver were analyzed from light and electron microscopic images of sections from intact, placebo-treated and linagliptin-treated animals. We estimated the changes in hepatocytes, sinusoidal cells, liver microvasculature and lymphatic roots. Hepatic staining for lymphatic vessel endothelial hyaluronan receptor-1(LYVE-1) was assessed by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS In 18-wk-old diabetic mice, liver steatosis(predominantly microvesicular and mediovesicular steatosis) was accompanied by dilation of the roots of the lymphatic system, interlobular blood vessels and bile canaliculi. Compared to saline-treated mice, linagliptin-treated mice exhibited a reduction in the mean numeral densities of hepatocytes with lipid droplets(92.4% ± 1.7% vs 64.9% ± 5.8% per field of view, P = 0.0002) and a lower proportion of hepatocytes with a high density of lipid droplets(20.7% ± 3.6% vs 50.4% ± 3.1%, P = 0.0007). We observed heterogeneous hepatocytes and relatively preserved cell structures in the linagliptin group. Dilation of blood and lymphatic vessels, as well as ultrastructural changes in the hepatocyte endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria, were alleviated by linagliptin treatment. In intact and placebo-treated mice, immunohistochemical staining for LYVE-1 was observed in the endothelial cells of interlobular lymphatic vessels and on the membranes of some endothelial sinusoidal cells. We observed an enlarged LYVE-1 reaction area in linagliptin-treated mice compared to intact and placebo-treated mice. The improvement in the structural parameters of the liver in linagliptin-treated mice was independent to changes in the plasma glucose levels. CONCLUSION The DPP4 inhibitor linagliptin alleviates liver steatosis and structural changes in the hepatic microvasculature and lymphatic roots in a model of NAFLD in diabetic db/db mice.展开更多

We included only evidence designated high quality by the Oxford Center for Evidence-based Medicine-Levels of Evidence.RESULTS Eight clinical studies were included in the narrative descriptive analysis(gliclazide: 5 and linagliptin: 3). The CV safety of gliclazide in the Action in Diabetes and Vascular Disease: Preterax and Diamicron Modified Release Controlled Evaluation trial and of linagliptin in the Cardiovascular and Renal Microvascular Outcome Study With Linagliptin(CARMELINA) and CARdiovascular Outcome study of LINAgliptin vs glimepiride in patients with T2D(CAROLINA)trials were excluded from the comparative analysis as these trials demonstrated CV and hypoglycemia benefits in patients at high risk of CVD. However, since these are landmark trials,they were discussed in brief to show the CV benefits and low hypoglycemia risk of gliclazide and linagliptin. We did not find any study comparing gliclazide with linagliptin. Hence, direct comparison of their major adverse CV events and hypoglycemia risk could not be carried out.However, the literature meeting the inclusion criteria showed that both drugs were effective in achieving the desired glycemic control and had low major adverse CV events and hypoglycemia risk in adult patients with no history of CVD.CONCLUSION Gliclazide can be considered an effective and safe glucose-lowering drug in T2D patients with no established CVD but at high risk of CVD due to their T2D status. Future randomized controlled trials comparing gliclazide with linagliptin or dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors can confirm these findings.展开更多

METHODS A 2-year retrospective cohort study was conducted in patients with T2 DM who received anagliptin and linagliptin. We enrolled 234 patients(anagliptin group, 117 patients; linagliptin group, 117 patients). RESULTS The glycemic control considerably improved 3, 6, 12, and 24 mo after the administration of both dipeptidyl peptidase-4(DPP-4) inhibitors. Following the administration of anagliptin, the diastolic blood pressure and serum total cholesterol levels decreased. However, serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels increased and urinary albumin-creatinine ratio decreased following linagliptin administration. Furthermore, the liver function improved after the administration of linagliptin.CONCLUSION These findings suggest that that the efficacy of DPP-4 inhibitors on the blood pressure, lipid profile, and liver function differs between anagliptin and linagliptin.展开更多

The patients were divided into two groups according to the random double-blind method, with 49 cases in each group. The control group was treated with Metformin, whereas the experimental group was treated with Linagliptin plus Metformin. After 3 months of continuous treatment, the renal function [urinary albumin excretion rate, 24 h urine protein quantitation and serum creatinine], glycolipids metabolic levels [glycated hemoglobin, fasting blood glucose, total cholesterol and triglycerides], monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, tumor necrosis factor receptor, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.Results:After 3 months of treatment, the levels of UAER, 24 h Upor and Scr in the experimental group were shown to be lower than those in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant. After 3 months of treatment, the levels of HbA1c, FPG, TC and TG in the experimental group were shown to be lower than the control group, and the difference was statistically significant. After 3 months of treatment, the levels of MCP-1, sTNFR1 and hs-CRP in the experimental group were lower than those in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant. There was no significant difference in incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups.Conclusion: For patients with diabetic nephropathy, Linagliptin is with higher safety, which can help improve their glycolipids metabolic levels and renal function, reduce the inflammatory response and the levels of MCP-1 and sTNFR1, and yet incur fewer adverse reactions.展开更多

In this investigation, a hyperglycemic mouse model was generated by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin and then subjected to focal cerebral ischemia. We demonstrated that the DPP-4 inhibitor linagliptin significantly decreased the infarct volume, reduced neuronal cell death, decreased inflammation, and improved neurological deficit compared with control mice. Linagliptin up-regulated the expression of p-Akt and p-m TOR and regulated the apoptosis factors Bcl-2, Bax, and caspase 9. Taken together, these results suggest that linagliptin exerts a neuroprotective action likely through activation of the Akt/m TOR pathway along with anti-apoptotic and anti-inflammatory mechanisms.Therefore, linagliptin may be considered as a therapeutic treatment for stroke patients with mild hyperglycemia.展开更多

文摘Diabetic cardiomyopathy(DCM)is an important cardiovascular complication of diabetes mellitus,while the pathogenesis of DCM has not been fully elucidated.In the present study,we aimed to investigate the effect of Linagliptin on cardiomyocytes of diabetic rats and its mechanism.Cardiac function was evaluated by two-dimensional ultrasound at different time points for each group.HE staining was used to evaluate myocardial injury and inflammatory condition.Sirius-red staining was used to observe the degree of myocardial fibrosis under optical microscope.TUNEL staining was used to investigate the degree of cardiomyocyte apoptosis in four groups.The expressions of m RNAs in relevant cells,including Bcl-2,Bax,TNF-α,PAI-1,CTGF and TGF-β1,were measured by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)and Western blotting analysis in different groups.The expression and transcriptional function of Nrf2 in myocardium activated by Lingliptin were determined using RT-PCR,Western blotting analysis and immunofluorescence.The results showed that the left ventricular volume(LV),left ventricular thickness(LT),fasting blood glucose(FBG)and heart weight/body weight(HW/BW)in diabetes and Linagliptin CO treatment group were significantly lower compared with diabetic group(P<0.05),while the ejection fraction(EF)was higher compared with diabetic group(P<0.05).From HE staining,the treatment of Linagliptin made the arrangement of myocardial fibers more regular,and the striation of myocardial cells became clearer.The Sirus-red staining showed that there was significant accumulation of collagen in the diabetic group rats,indicating that the rats in diabetic group had cardiac fibrosis.The phenomenon in diabetes and Linagliptin CO treatment group was alleviated.TUNEL staining showed that at time point of 4 weeks,the degree of cardiomyocyte apoptosis in diabetes and Linagliptin CO treatment group was lower compared with diabetic group(P<0.01).The expressions of cleaved-caspase-3,TNF-α,PAI-1,CTGF and TGF-β1 proteins in diabetic rats were significantly decreased by Linagliptin,and the difference was statistically significant(cleaved-caspase-3:P<0.01;TNF-α:P<0.01;PAI-1:P<0.05;CTGF:P<0.05;TGF-β1:P<0.05).Compared with the diabetic group,the ratio of Bcl-2/Bax was inecreased in diabetes and Linagliptin CO treatment group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).From Nrf2 expression in the nucleus and cytosol by RT-PCR,Western blotting analysis and immunofluorescence test,the results showed that Linagliptin promoted the Nrf2 nuclear translocation in myocardial tissue cells.The expression of Nrf2 was significantly down-regulated in the heart of diabetic rats(P<0.01),while this phenomenon in diabetes and Linagliptin CO treatment group was greatly ameliorated.This paper studied the effect of Linagliptin on diabetic myocardial injur and found that the protective mechanism might be related to Nrf2 signaling pathway of antioxidant stress.Collectively,our finding provided new ideas and therapeutic targets for the prevention and treatment of DCM.
