Benefits of technology

The present invention describes an oxyntomodulin analog that can activate GLP-1 and glucagon receptors with high efficiency. This analog also expands beta-cells and increases insulin secretion, reducing blood glucose levels caused by a high-calorie and high-fat diet. Additionally, it decreases body weight and diet intake to improve insulin sensitivity and maintain blood glucose levels at normal levels. Therefore, this analog can be used for the prevention or treatment of diabetes and related diseases.

Problems solved by technology

If a chronic hyperglycemic condition is not suitably treated, it leads to various pathological conditions in the body.
Typically, it increases the risk of retinopathy, renal dysfunction, neuropathy, stroke caused by vascular disorder, kidney or heart diseases, diabetic foot ulcer, and cardiovascular disease.
Such complications reduce the quality of life, and eventually reduce the life expectancy of diabetic patients.
However, diet therapy or exercise therapy is difficult to control and implement strictly, and the therapeutic effect thereof is also insufficient.
However, it has shortcomings, including a fearful feeling for hypodermic needles, difficulty in administration, risk of hypoglycaemia, and an increase in weight.
However, these drugs were reported to have side effects, including hepatotoxicity, gastrointestinal disorder, cardiovascular disease and carcinogenesis, and the annual cost for treatment of diabetes is also high, and thus is an obstacle in the treatment of diabetes.
However, oxyntomodulin has a problem in that it should be administered at a high dose, because it has a short half-life in vivo and the activity thereof is insufficient for use in the treatment of obesity, diabetes, hyperlipidemia and fatty liver disease.

Production of Cell Line Showing cAMP Response to GLP-1

[0095]Using a portion corresponding to the ORF (open reading frame) of cDNA (OriGene Technologies, Inc. USA) of the human GLP-1 receptor gene as a template, PCR was performed using reverse and forward primers including a HindIII cleavage site and an EcoRI cleavage site, respectively, thereby obtaining a PCR product.

[0096]The PCR product was cloned into the known animal cell expression vector x0GC / dhfr, thereby constructing the recombinant vector x0GC / GLP-1R.

[0097]The recombinant vector x0GC / GLP-1R was introduced into a CHO DG44 cell line, cultured in DMEM / F12 (10% FBS) medium, using lipofectamine (Invitrogene, USA), to obtain a transformant. The transformant was incubated in a selective medium containing 1 mg / mL G418 and 10 nM methotraxate, and monoclonal cell lines were selected therefrom. Then, a...

Abstract

Disclosed are a composition for preventing or treating diabetes, diabesity or diabetic complications, containing an oxyntomodulin analog as an active ingredient and a method for treating diabetes, diabesity or diabetic complications, including administering a pharmaceutically effective amount of an oxyntomodulin analog to a subject. The oxyntomodulin analog shows a greater activity to activate a GLP-1 receptor and a glucagon receptor, than native oxyntomodulin. The oxyntomodulin analog induces an expansion of beta-cells and increases insulin secretion, thereby reducing blood glucose levels that were increased due to a high-calorie and high-fat diet. The oxyntomodulin analog induces decreases in a body weight and appetite to improve insulin sensitivity and is useful in maintaining normal blood glucose levels.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a composition for preventing or treating diabetes, diabesity or diabetic complications, the composition comprising an oxyntomodulin analog as an active ingredient. Moreover, the present invention relates to a method for preventing or treating diabetes, diabesity or diabetic complications, the method comprising administering a pharmaceutically effective amount of an oxyntomodulin analog to a subject.BACKGROUND ART[0002]In recent years, in Korea, the intake of fats from foods has increased due to economic growth and the westernization of eating habits, and metabolic diseases such as hyperlipidemia, obesity, diabetes, hypertension, arteriosclerosis, and fatty liver disease, which are caused by a lack of exercise, have increased.[0003]Diabetes is a kind of metabolic disease in which insulin secretion is insufficient or normal functions are not made (DeFronzo, 1988). Diabetes is characterized by increased blood glucose levels that cau...
