动脉粥样硬化是冠心病、脑梗死、外周血管病的主要诱因,近年来发病率越来越高,严重威胁着人类生命健康。脂质代谢障碍是动脉粥样硬化的病理基础。成纤维细胞生长因子21(FGF21)是FGF家族的一种内分泌因子,它能够增加葡萄糖的摄取,调节脂质代谢,并使代谢活跃的器官(如肝脏和脂肪组织)中胰岛素反应敏感。FGF21水平与动脉粥样硬化的发生率和严重程度密切相关。然而,FGF21原型在血浆的半衰期短、体外易聚集,严重限制了其临床应用。近年来,对FGF21类似物的研究取得了突破性进展。综述了FGF21的生理作用,并讨论了基于FGF21类似物治疗动脉粥样硬化的主要突破和局限性,为FGF21蛋白类新药的开发提供了理论依据。  相似文献

The family of fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) consisting now of 22 members is generally considered to control a wide range of biological functions such as development, differentiation and survival. However, research during the past decade provided substantial evidence that a so called “hormone-like” subgroup of FGFs, comprised of FGF19, FGF21 and FGF23, is involved in the regulation of diverse metabolic pathways to control glucose, lipid, bile acid, phosphate and vitamin D metabolism. The unique properties of these FGFs include predominant production of the factors in selective tissues, their abundance in the blood due to the lack of extracellular heparin-mediated sequestration, and highly specific tissue-targeted action via engagement of their respective co-receptors. The important metabolic context of FGF19, FGF21, and FGF23 actions has revealed important novel roles for FGFs and provided significant means to explore an opportunity for therapeutic targeting of these factors and their corresponding pathways.  相似文献

The role of fibroblast growth factor receptor 4 (FGFR4) in regulating bile acid synthesis has been well defined; however, its reported role on glucose and energy metabolism remains unresolved. Here, we show that FGFR4 deficiency in mice leads to improvement in glucose metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and reduction in body weight under high fat conditions. Mechanism of action studies in FGFR4-deficient mice suggest that the effects are mediated in part by increased plasma levels of adiponectin and the endocrine FGF factors FGF21 and FGF15, the latter of which increase in response to an elevated bile acid pool. Direct actions of increased bile acids on bile acid receptors, and other potential indirect mechanisms, may also contribute to the observed metabolic changes. The results described herein suggest that FGFR4 antagonists alone, or in combination with other agents, could serve as a novel treatment for diabetes.  相似文献

成纤维细胞生长因子21(fibroblast growth factor,FGF21)是FGF家族中的新成员.目前研究显示,FGF21是一个新的糖脂代谢调节因子,有望成为治疗糖尿病的新型药物.为探讨FGF21的生理功能,利用real-time PCR和Western印迹,检测FGF21在不同生理或病理状态下基因水平和蛋白水平的表达量变化规律.实验结果显示,在全天24 h中,小鼠肝脏中FGF21在晚18点至21点,表达量显著升高,这可能与啮齿类动物傍晚活动加强及进食习性有关|FGF21在饥饿后表达量显著升高,在饥饿后喂食FGF21的表达量下降,并且随着饥饿时间的延长,FGF21的表达量升高,说明FGF21与饥饿程度呈正相关|灌注葡萄糖后20 min内,FGF21的表达量下降,而灌注脂肪乳20 min内,FGF21的表达量上升,说明葡萄糖是FGF21的负调节因子,而脂肪乳是FGF21的正调节因子|利用谷氨酸钠造模的肥胖小鼠,肝脏中FGF21的表达量显著高于同龄对照组,说明肥胖可诱导FGF21高表达.综上所述,FGF21的表达量变化与小鼠夜间活动取食、饥饿程度、饮食中不同的成分以及肥胖有关.  相似文献

Insulin-independent glucose metabolism, including anaerobic glycolysis that is promoted in resistance training, plays critical roles in glucose disposal and systemic metabolic regulation. However, the underlying mechanisms are not completely understood. In this study, through genetically manipulating the glycolytic process by overexpressing human glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1), hexokinase 2 (HK2) and 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase-fructose-2,6-biphosphatase 3 (PFKFB3) in mouse skeletal muscle, we examined the impact of enhanced glycolysis in metabolic homeostasis. Enhanced glycolysis in skeletal muscle promoted accelerated glucose disposal, a lean phenotype and a high metabolic rate in mice despite attenuated lipid metabolism in muscle, even under High-Fat diet (HFD). Further study revealed that the glucose metabolite sensor carbohydrate-response element-binding protein (ChREBP) was activated in the highly glycolytic muscle and stimulated the elevation of plasma fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21), possibly mediating enhanced lipid oxidation in adipose tissue and contributing to a systemic effect. PFKFB3 was critically involved in promoting the glucose-sensing mechanism in myocytes. Thus, a high level of glycolysis in skeletal muscle may be intrinsically coupled to distal lipid metabolism through intracellular glucose sensing. This study provides novel insights for the benefit of resistance training and for manipulating insulin-independent glucose metabolism.  相似文献

Chronic stress leads to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and metabolic disorders including fatty liver. We hypothesized that stress-induced molecular mechanisms alter energy metabolism, thereby promoting hepatic lipid accumulation even after a stress-free recovery period. In this context, we investigated fibroblast growth factor-21 (FGF21) as protective for energy and glucose homeostasis. FGF21 knockout mice (B6.129S6(SJL)-Fgf21tm1.2Djm; FGF21KO) and control mice (C57BL6; WT) were subjected to chronic variable stress. Mice were examined directly after acute intervention (Cvs) and long-term after 3 months of recovery (3mCvs). In WT, Cvs reduced insulin sensitivity and hepatic lipid accumulation, whilst fatty acid uptake increased. FGF21KO mice responded to Cvs with improved glucose tolerance, insulin resistance but liver triglycerides and plasma lipids were unaltered. Hepatic gene expression was specifically altered by genotype and stress e.g. by PPARa and SREBP-1 regulated genes. The stress-induced alteration of hepatic metabolism persisted after stress recovery. In hepatocytes at 3mCvs, differential gene regulation and secreted proteins indicated a genotype specific progression of liver dysfunction. Overall, at 3mCvs FGF21 was involved in maintaining mitochondrial activity, attenuating de novo lipogenesis, increased fatty acid uptake and histone acetyltransferase activity. Glucocorticoid release and binding to the FGF21 promoter may contribute to prolonged FGF21 release and protection against hepatic lipid accumulation. In conclusion, we showed that stress favors fatty liver disease and FGF21 protected against hepatic lipid accumulation after previous chronic stress loading by i) restored physiological function, ii) modulated gene expression via DNA-modifying enzymes, and iii) maintained energy metabolism.  相似文献

成纤维细胞生长因子21(fibroblast growth factor 21,FGF21)作为一种不依赖胰岛素的血糖调节因子,目前已被看做是治疗2型糖尿病的一个潜在的新型治疗因素.大量鼠类及灵长类动物模型的实验结果显示:FGF21可通过作用于脂肪组织及胰腺来降低血糖和甘油三酯含量,从而预防饮食诱导的肥胖及胰岛素抵抗.此外,FGF21也被证明可作为一种主要的内源性调控子,在禁食和酮症时起着关键的调控作用.然而,一些临床观察实验的结果表明,临床观察实验与动物模型实验之间虽然具有一定的相似性,但也存在很多不同,因而目前FGF21在人体中的生理学作用仍不明确.  相似文献

Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) is a regulator of glucose and lipid metabolism. It has been widely considered as a promising candidate for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and other related metabolic disorders. However, lack of structural and dynamic information has limited FGF21‐based drug development. Here, using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, we determine the structure of FGF21 and find that its non‐canonical flexible β‐trefoil conformation affects the folding of β2‐β3 hairpin and further overall protein stability. To modulate folding dynamics, we designed an FGF21‐FGF19 chimera, FGF21SS. As expected, FGF21SS shows better thermostability without inducing hepatocyte proliferation. Functional characterization of FGF21SS shows its better insulin sensitivity, reduced inflammation in 3T3‐L1 adipocytes, and lower blood glucose and insulin levels in ob/ob mice compared with wild type. Our dynamics‐based rational design provides a promising approach for FGF21‐based therapeutic development against T2DM.  相似文献

Diabetic nephropathy (DN), an important cause of end-stage renal diseases, brings about great social and economic burden. Due to the variable pathological changes and clinical course, the prognosis of DN is very difficult to predict. DN is also usually associated with enhanced genomic damage and cellular injury. Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21), a nutritionally regulated hormone secreted mainly by the liver, plays a critical role in metabolism. Administration of FGF21 decreases blood glucose, triglyceride, and cholesterol levels, and improves insulin sensitivity, which is closely associated with the development and progression of glomerular diseases. In addition, FGF21 level was associated with renal function. However, the precise role of FGF21 in DN remains unclear. This review will give a comprehensive understanding of the underlying role of FGF21 and its possible interaction with other molecules in DN.  相似文献

FGFs 19, 21, and 23 are hormones that regulate in a Klotho co-receptor-dependent fashion major metabolic processes such as glucose and lipid metabolism (FGF21) and phosphate and vitamin D homeostasis (FGF23). The role of heparan sulfate glycosaminoglycan in the formation of the cell surface signaling complex of endocrine FGFs has remained unclear. Here we show that heparan sulfate is not a component of the signal transduction unit of FGF19 and FGF23. In support of our model, we convert a paracrine FGF into an endocrine ligand by diminishing heparan sulfate-binding affinity of the paracrine FGF and substituting its C-terminal tail for that of an endocrine FGF containing the Klotho co-receptor-binding site to home the ligand into the target tissue. In addition to serving as a proof of concept, the ligand conversion provides a novel strategy for engineering endocrine FGF-like molecules for the treatment of metabolic disorders, including global epidemics such as type 2 diabetes and obesity.  相似文献

Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21), a metabolic hormone with pleiotropic effects on glucose and lipid metabolism and insulin sensitivity, alleviates the process of acute pancreatitis (AP). However, its mechanism remains elusive. The pathological and physiological characteristics of FGF21 are observed in both patients with AP and cerulein‐induced AP models, and the mechanisms of FGF21 in response to AP are investigated by evaluating the impact of autophagy in FGF21‐treated mice and cultured pancreatic cells. Circulating levels of FGF21 significantly increase in both AP patients and cerulein‐induced AP mice, which is accompanied by the change of pathology in pancreatic injury. Replenishment of FGF21 distinctly reverses cerulein‐induced pancreatic injury and improves cerulein‐induced autophagy damage in vivo and in vitro. Mechanically, FGF21 acts on pancreatic acinar cells to up‐regulate Sirtuin‐1 (Sirt1) expression, which in turn repairs impaired autophagy and removes damaged organs. In addition, blockage of Sirt1 accelerates cerulein‐induced pancreatic injury and weakens the regulative effect in FGF21‐activated autophagy in mice. These results showed that FGF21 protects against cerulein‐induced AP by activation of Sirtuin‐1‐autophagy axis.  相似文献

Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) exhibits a circadian oscillation, and its induction is critical during fasting. When secreted by liver and skeletal muscle, FGF21 enhances thermogenic activity in brown adipose tissue (BAT) by utilizing uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) to dissipate energy as heat. Recently, it has been reported that UCP1 is not required for FGF21-mediated reduction in body weight or improvements in glucose homeostasis. As the relationship between FGF21 and UCP1 induction in tissues other than BAT is less clear, we tested the effect of restricted feeding (RF) and high dietary fat on FGF21 circadian expression and its correlation with UCP1 expression in liver and white adipose tissue (WAT). High dietary fat disrupted Fgf21 mRNA circadian oscillation but increased its levels in WAT. RF led to increased liver FGF21 protein levels, whereas those of UCP1 decreased. In contrast, WAT FGF21 protein levels increased under high-fat diet, whereas those of UCP1 decreased under RF. In summary, FGF21 exhibits circadian oscillation, which is disrupted with increased dietary fat. The relationship between FGF21 and UCP1 levels depends on the tissue and the cellular energy status.  相似文献

Lipogenic gene expression in liver is repressed in mice upon leucine deprivation. The hormone fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21), which is critical to the adaptive metabolic response to starvation, is also induced under amino acid deprivation. Upon leucine deprivation, we found that FGF21 is needed to repress expression of lipogenic genes in liver and white adipose tissue, and stimulate phosphorylation of hormone-sensitive lipase in white adipose tissue. The increased expression of Ucp1 in brown adipose tissue under these circumstances is also impaired in FGF21-deficient mice. Our results demonstrate the important role of FGF21 in the regulation of lipid metabolism during amino acid starvation.  相似文献

Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) as a metabolic stress hormone, is mainly secreted by the liver. In addition to its well‐defined roles in energy homeostasis, FGF21 has been shown to promote remyelination after injury in the central nervous system. In the current study, we sought to examine the potential roles of FGF21 in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) myelination. In the PNS myelin development, Fgf21 expression was reversely correlated with myelin gene expression. In cultured primary Schwann cells (SCs), the application of recombinant FGF21 greatly attenuates myelination‐associated gene expression, including Oct6, Krox20, Mbp, Mpz, and Pmp22. Accordingly, the injection of FGF21 into neonatal rats markedly mitigates the myelination in sciatic nerves. On the contrary, the infusion of the anti‐FGF21 antibody accelerates the myelination. Mechanistically, both extracellular signal‐regulated kinase (ERK) and p38 mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK) were stimulated by FGF21 in SCs and sciatic nerves. Following experiments including pharmaceutical intervention and gene manipulation revealed that the p38 MAPK/c‐Jun axis, rather than ERK, is targeted by FGF21 for mediating its repression on myelination in SCs. Taken together, our data provide a new aspect of FGF21 by acting as a negative regulator for the myelin development process in the PNS via activation of p38 MAPK/c‐Jun.  相似文献
