DPP-4 inhibition with linagliptin ameliorates the progression of premature aging in klotho-/- mice.
Cardiovascular Diabetology 2017 December 2
BACKGROUND: The potential of anti-aging effect of DPP-4 inhibitors is unknown. This study was performed to determine whether linagliptin, a DPP-4 inhibitor, could protect against premature aging in klotho-/- mice.
METHODS: Klotho-/- mice exhibit multiple phenotypes resembling human premature aging, including extremely shortened life span, cognitive impairment, hippocampal neurodegeneration, hair loss, muscle atrophy, hypoglycemia, etc. To investigate the effect of linagliptin on these aging-related phenotypes, male klotho-/- mice were divided into two groups: (1) control group fed the standard diet, and (2) linagliptin group fed the standard diet containing linagliptin. Treatment with linagliptin was performed for 4 weeks. The effect of linagliptin on the above mentioned aging-related phenotypes was examined.
RESULTS: Body weight of klotho-/- mice was greater in linagliptin group than in control group (11.1 ± 0.3 vs 9.9 ± 0.3 g; P < 0.01), which was associated with greater gastrocnemius muscle weight (P < 0.01) and greater kidney weight (P < 0.05) in linagliptin group. Thus, linagliptin significantly prevented body weight loss in klotho-/- mice. Survival rate of klotho-/- mice was greater in linagliptin group (93%) compared to control group (67%), although the difference did not reach statistical significance (P = 0.08). None of linagliptin-treated klotho-/- mice had alopecia during the treatment (P < 0.05 vs control klotho-/- mice). Latency of klotho-/- mice in passive avoidance test was larger in linagliptin group than in control group (P < 0.05), indicating the amelioration of cognitive impairment by linagliptin. Cerebral blood flow of klotho-/- mice was larger in linagliptin group than in control group (P < 0.01), being associated with greater cerebral phospho-eNOS levels (P < 0.05) in linagliptin group. Neuronal cell number in hippocampal CA1 region was greater in linagliptin group than in control group (P < 0.05). Linagliptin group had greater cerebral phospho-Akt (P < 0.05) and phospho-CREB (P < 0.05) than control group. Thus, linagliptin ameliorated brain aging in klotho-/- mice. The degree of hypoglycemia in klotho-/- mice was less in linagliptin group than in control group, as estimated by the findings of OGTT.
CONCLUSIONS: Out work provided the evidence that DPP-4 inhibition with linagliptin slowed the progression of premature aging in klotho-/- mice, and provided a novel insight into the potential role of DPP-4 in the mechanism of premature aging.
