Intestinal glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a hormone that stimulates insulin secretion and acts as a neuropeptide to control glucose homeostasis, but little is known whether intestinal GLP-1 has any effect in the control of hepatic glucose production (HGP). Here we found that intraduodenal infusion of GLP-1 activated duodenal PKC- δ , lowered HGP and was accompanied by a decrease in hepatic expression of gluconeogenic enzymes and an increase in hepatic insulin signaling in rats. However, gut co-infusion of either the GLP-1 receptor antagonist Ex-9, or the PKC- δ inhibitor rottlerin with GLP-1, negated the ability of gut GLP-1 to lower HGP and to increase hepatic insulin signaling during clamps. The metabolic and molecular signal effects of duodenal GLP-1 were also negated by co-infusion with tetracaine, pharmacologic inhibition of N -methyl- d -aspartate receptors within the dorsalvagal complex, or hepatic vagotomy in rats. In summary, we identified a neural glucoregulatory function of gut GLP-1 signaling.

Euphorbia kansui, a toxic Chinese medicine used for more than 2000 years, has the effect of “purging water to promote drinking” and “reducing swelling and dispersing modules”. Diterpenes and triterpenes are the main bioactive components ofE. kansui. Among them, ingenane-type diterpenes have multiple biological activities as a protein kinase C δ (PKC-δ) activator, which have previously been shown to promote anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic effects in several human cancer cell lines. However, the activation of PKC subsequently promoted the survival of macrophages. Recently, we found that 13-hydroxyingenol-3-(2,3-dimethylbutanoate)-13-dodecanoate (compound A) fromE. kansuishowed dual bioactivity, including the inhibition of tumor-cell-line proliferation and regulation of macrophage polarization. This study identifies the possible mechanism of compound A in regulating the polarization state of macrophages, by regulating PKC-δ-extracellular signal regulated kinases (ERK) signaling pathways to exert anti-tumor immunity effects in vitro, which might provide a new treatment method from the perspective of immune cell regulation.
