Identification of glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1) in mice stomach.
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications 2024 Februrary 22
Glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a peptide hormone encoded by the pre-proglucagon gene that serves multiple physiological functions, including incretin action. While GLP-1 is primarily synthesized in the L cells of the lower intestine, recent findings indicate its presence in the stomachs of both rats and humans. However, the role of gastric GLP-1 in other species remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to identify GLP-1-producing cells and examine the localization of GLP-1 production in the mouse stomach. We found that pre-proglucagon mRNA was higher in the corpus than that in the antrum of the stomach. In addition, GLP-1 immunoreactive cells were found in the gastric mucosa, and their cell number was higher in the corpus than that in the antrum. Double immunofluorescence showed that some GLP-1 immunoreactive cells displayed somatostatin immunoreactivity, whereas did not co-localize with ghrelin and gastrin. Moreover, transmembrane G protein-coupled Receptor 5 (TGR5) agonist decreased pre-proglucagon mRNA expression in SG-1 cells in a concentration-dependent manner, and in vivo experiments showed a decrease in its mRNA levels in the gastric corpus but not in the antrum. This study marks the first report of GLP-1 production in the mouse stomach. Our findings suggest that gastric pre-proglucagon mRNA expression is regulated by a distinct mechanism compared to the L cells of the lower intestine.
