From the Over the past decade, numerous
studies have been targeted at defining structure-activity relationships
of glucagon. Recently, we have found that
glucagon1-29 is hydrolyzed by dipeptidyl peptidase
IV (DPIV) to produce glucagon3-29 and
glucagon5-29; in human serum, [pyroglutamyl
(pGlu)3]glucagon3-29 is formed from
glucagon3-29, and this prevents further hydrolysis of
glucagon by DPIV (H.-U. Demuth, K. Glund, U. Heiser, J. Pospisilik, S. Hinke, T. Hoffmann, F. Rosche, D. Schlenzig, M. Wermann, C. McIntosh,
and R. Pederson, manuscript in preparation). In the current study, the
biological activity of these peptides was examined in
vitro. The amino-terminally truncated peptides all behaved as
partial agonists in cyclic AMP stimulation assays, with Chinese hamster
ovary K1 cells overexpressing the human glucagon receptor (potency:
glucagon1-29 > [pGlu3]glu-
cagon3-29 > glucagon3-29 > glucagon5-29 > [Glu9]glu-
cagon2-29). In competition binding experiments,
[pGlu3]glucagon3-29 and
glucagon5-29 both demonstrated 5-fold lower affinity for
the receptor than glucagon1-29, whereas glucagon3-29 exhibited 18-fold lower affinity. Of the
peptides tested, only glucagon5-29 showed antagonist
activity, and this was weak compared with the classical glucagon
antagonist, [Glu9]glucagon2-29. Hence, DPIV
hydrolysis of glucagon yields low affinity agonists of the glucagon
receptor. As a corollary to evidence indicating that DPIV degrades
glucagon (Demuth, et al., manuscript in preparation),
DPIV-resistant analogs were synthesized. Matrix-assisted laser
desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry was used to
assess DPIV resistance, and it allowed kinetic analysis of degradation.
Of several analogs generated, only [D-Ser2]
and [Gly2]glucagon retained high affinity binding and
biological potency, similar to native glucagon in vitro.
[D-Ser2]Glucagon exhibited enhanced
hyperglycemic activity in a bioassay, whereas
[Gly2]glucagon was not completely resistant to DPIV degradation.
