英国艾登布鲁克医院Clemence Blouet团队的研究显示,少突胶质细胞中葡萄糖依赖的嗜胰岛素多肽受体信号增加GLP-1R激动作用的减肥作用。这一研究成果发表在2025年8月13日出版的国际学术期刊《细胞—代谢》上。
该课题组报道了GIPR在少突胶质细胞中富集,并且GIPR信号双向调节少突胶质细胞的发生。在少突胶质细胞中GIPR缺失的小鼠中,GIPR激动作用不能增强GLP-1R激动作用的减肥效果。从机制上讲,GIPR激动作用增加了GLP-1R激动剂的脑通路,而这种作用需要少突胶质细胞中的GIPR信号传导。此外,该研究组发现室旁下丘脑的抗利尿激素神经元对于GLP-1R激活的减肥反应是必要的,通过外周给药GLP-1R激动剂通过其轴突室靶向,这种通路通过激活少突胶质细胞中的GIPR而增加。总的来说,他们的发现确定了一种新的机制,通过这种机制,肠促胰岛素疗法可能在过度肥胖的管理中促进协同减肥。
研究人员表示,下一代肥胖药物利用葡萄糖依赖性胰岛素性多肽和胰高血糖素样肽1受体(GIPR和GLP-1R)的活性,但其作用机制尚不清楚。

Abstract: The next generation of obesity medicines harness the activity of the glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and glucagon-like peptide 1 receptors (GIPR and GLP-1R), but their mechanism of action remains unclear. Here, we report that the GIPR is enriched in oligodendrocytes and GIPR signaling bidirectionally regulates oligodendrogenesis. In mice with adult-onset deletion of GIPR in oligodendrocytes, GIPR agonism fails to enhance the weight-loss effects of GLP-1R agonism. Mechanistically, GIPR agonism increases brain access of GLP-1R agonists, and GIPR signaling in oligodendrocytes is required for this effect. In addition, we show that vasopressin neurons of the paraventricular hypothalamus are necessary for the weight-loss response to GLP-1R activation, targeted by peripherally administered GLP-1R agonists via their axonal compartment, and this access is increased by activation of the GIPR in oligodendrocytes. Collectively, our findings identify a novel mechanism by which incretin therapies may function to promote synergistic weight loss in the management of excess adiposity.
