Pulmonary GLP-1 Receptor Increases at Birth and Exogenous GLP-1 Receptor Agonists Augmented Surfactant-Protein Levels in Litters From Normal and Nitrofen-Treated Pregnant Rats
Abstract
The glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) is found in a variety of tissues outside of the pancreas. For example, GLP-1R is expressed in the lung, where it has been implicated in the regulation of the lipid fraction of surfactants, suggesting it fulfills an important role in lung function. Here, we show that GLP-1R expression is strongly up-regulated immediately after birth in neonatal rats, particular in male offspring. Moreover, administering long half-life GLP-1R agonists to the mother from gestational day 14 to birth (exendin-4 or liraglutide) increased surfactant protein (SP)-A and SP-B mRNA expression and the amount of SPs in the amniotic fluid at the end of pregnancy. These effects were similar or more potent to those induced by the glucocorticoid dexamethasone, which also increased GLP-1R expression in fetuses just before delivery. Lir increased fetal SP-A and GLP-1R expression in control rats and in a nitrofen-induced model of lung hypoplasia. Moreover, lung size increased in controls after Lir administration, which also prevented the decrease in lung weight and the poor neonatal survival of the offspring from nitrofen-treated dams, effects that were not produced by dexamethasone. Taken together, our results demonstrate the importance of the GLP-1 system in regulating SP production and lung development.

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.
