Emerging roles of dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors: anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effect and its application in diabetes mellitus.
Canadian Journal of Diabetes 2014 December
Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) inhibitors have been widely used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is well known that DPP4 inhibitors exert their antidiabetes effects mainly by inhibiting the enzymatic degradation of glucagon-like peptide-1 and glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide. The anti-inflammatory effect of DPP4 inhibitors was proved by preclinical and clinical studies of type 2 diabetes and coronary artery disease. Preclinical data using DPP4 inhibitors-based therapies in studies of nonobese diabetic mice demonstrated additional effects, including immunomodulation, preserving beta-cell mass, promoting beta-cell regeneration and reversing newly diagnosed diabetes. Thus, these data show that DPP4 inhibitors may be effective for type 1 diabetes mellitus. However, their potential clinical benefits for type 1 diabetes remain to be evaluated. This paper will provide an overview of the progress of the anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects of DPP4 inhibitors in treating both type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
