Abstract

The gut hormone, glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1) exerts anti-inflammatory effects. However, its clinical use is limited by its short half-life. Previously, we have shown that GLP-1 as a nanomedicine (GLP-1 in sterically stabilized phospholipid micelles, GLP-1-SSM) has increased in vivo stability. The current study was aimed at testing the efficacy of this GLP-1 nanomedicine in alleviating colonic inflammation and associated diarrhea in dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) induced mouse colitis model. Our results show that GLP-1-SSM treatment markedly alleviated the colitis phenotype by reducing the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-1β, increasing goblet cells and preserving intestinal epithelial architecture in colitis model. Further, GLP-1-SSM alleviated diarrhea (as assessed by luminal fluid) by increasing protein expression of intestinal chloride transporter DRA (down regulated in adenoma). Our results indicate that GLP-1 nanomedicine may act as a novel therapeutic tool in alleviating gut inflammation and associated diarrhea in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

  • There is evidence that GLP-1RA can reduce intestinal inflammation in IBD by regulating immune cell signaling and having anti-inflammatory properties.

    From Anti-inflammatory role of glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists and its clinical implications (2024) · cites this paper as [110]

    The Abstract reports that GLP-1-SSM reduced intestinal inflammation in mice with DSS-induced colitis, and the Discussion describes GLP-1’s anti-inflammatory effects on immune-cell activity. But the study did not establish immune-cell signaling as the mechanism of the intestinal effect; it says GLP-1 receptor activation may mediate the observed effects. The evidence is for a specific GLP-1 formulation in mice, not GLP-1 receptor agonists as a class in people with IBD. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
