CGRP and protein amylopectin have about 50% sequence similarity (Cooper etc., 1987, compilation (the Proc Natl Acad Sci USA) 84:8628-32 of NAS; Cooper etc., 1994, endocrine research (Endocr Res.) 15:163-201), but and the biological activity of these two kinds of protein is overlapping differently (sees, as Muff etc., 1985, European endocrinology magazine (Eur.J.Endocrinol.).In its activity, CGRP has significant cardiovascular effect, when comprising the change of vasodilation and forward and inotropic action (Nuki etc., 1993, biochemistry biophysical studies communication (Biochem Biophys Res Commun) 196:245-51; Muff etc., the same; Cooper etc., 1994, endocrine research (Endocr Res.) 15:163-201; Gardiner, 1991, diabetes (Diabetes) 40:948-951; And Takenaga, 1999, European pharmaceutical journal (Euro.J.Pharma.) 367:239-245).In addition, when being applied with high concentration, CCRP is in the news and can causes insulin resistant (see as Leighton and Cooper, 1988, natural 335:632-35).Having proposed insulin resistant should be by suppressing that CGRP discharges or activity be treated and (seen as United States Patent (USP) 6,004,961; United States Patent (USP) 5,641,744).Blood plasma amylopectin and CGRP level raise, and be relevant with insulin resistant in rat, relevant with type 2 diabetes mellitus with obesity in the mankind.In muscle, amylopectin and CGRP have been in the news can be synthetic and promote glycogenolysis to suppress glucose to raise by suppressing glycogen, opposite with the effect as the insulin of non-competing functional antagonist.The peripheral lactose of the high concentration that glycogenolysis produces causes excessive hepatic glycogen to generate as the gluconeogenetic substrate of liver.
The present invention partly relates to CGRP-1 stimulates lipid decomposition (promptly causing triacylglycerol (triglyceride) to reduce) and Mus CGRP-2 in skeletal muscle and the liver to be proved the discovery that the lipid in the stimulation skeletal muscle decomposes.Can detect this reduction from the increase of fatty acid.Shown in embodiment hereinafter, the dose-response that skeletal muscle is exposed to various content rat CGRP-1 the analysis showed that two stages of muscle free fatty acid levels increase, phase I is observed when skin rubs the CGRP-1 of concentration, and second stage is at nanomole concentration C GRP-1 and observed in 2 o'clock.Need not in conjunction with specific mechanisms, these data show that influence that CGRP-1 decomposes the potential lipid of muscle lipid is by the high-affinity CGRP receptor (EC that works 50About 2.6 * 10 -13M[is as 10 -11M to 10 -13In the scope of M]).Therefore, the cell characteristic of expression high-affinity receptor is the CGRP-1 corresponding to nanomole concentration.This concentration is significantly less than to be eliminated insulin resistant and suppresses the synthetic concentration of glycogen (Leighton etc., 1988, natural 335:632-635 in stripped muscle prepared product; Leighton etc., 1989, FEBS Lett 249:357-361).The second stage that lipid decomposes occurs in CGRP-1 and 2 o'clock (EC of higher concentration 50About 4.5 * 10 -8M[is as 10 -9M to 10 -8In the scope of M]), and receptor-mediated by the metabolism amylopectin, promptly can be by the single receptor of CGRP and amylopectin transduction signal in skeletal muscle, it can be used as the receptor (being CGRP/ amylopectin receptor) of these two kinds of peptides.
As describing in further detail hereinafter, the dosage that is characterized as of high-affinity CGRP receptor stimulating agent relies on ground and stimulates the lipid in the skeletal muscle to decompose, and wherein costimulatory receptor mediation and CGRP-1 are with nanomole EC 50With this receptor effect.Metabolism amylopectin receptor stimulating agent is characterized as by the lipid in the receptor-mediated stimulation skeletal muscle and decomposes, and CGRP-1 or 2 is with nanomole EC 50With receptor acting, and amylopectin causes that by receptor lipid decomposes.
Having the metabolism amylopectin passed through calcitonin receptor (oppositely infix form) [C1 by the receptor of body characteristics Ins-] make up to L6 sarcoplast or cos-7 cell with the ramp-1 cotransfection and (to see embodiment, hereinafter).This receptor has set up that intensive specificity with CGRP, amylopectin and sCT combines and CGRP and the conduction of amylopectin earth signal.The high-affinity binding site of CGRP-1 in muscle and the liver cell is described.Galeazza etc., 1991, peptide 12:585-91 describes two CGRP-1 binding sites in the rat skeletal muscle film preparation thing, has the derivation Kd value of about 37pM and 6nM.Galeazza etc. have also described two CGRP specific binding sites on the rat liver film, have the derivation Kd value of about 44pM and 27nM.Combining of the film fragment of radiolabeled CGRP-1 and liver nonparenchymal cell (as endotheliocyte, lipid torage cell and smooth muscle cell), and not combining with hepatocyte, by Stephens etc., 1991, diabetes, 40:395-400 report.Also can be referring to Poyner etc., 2002, pharmaceutical research 54:233-46.
Lipid decomposes can pass through the receptor-mediated discovery of high-affinity CGRP, and other discoveries at this detailed description provide new being used for to stimulate lipid to decompose and the method and the reagent of the accumulation of lipid of reduction cell and tissue.Especially, the invention provides the lipid that is used for showing skeletal muscle and liver reduces and is used for the treatment of method and the reagent that is characterized as the disease of accumulation of lipid in cell and the tissue.Accumulation of lipid in the skeletal muscle is the Developmental and Metabolic Disorder that shows the key that produces insulin resistant.For example, as if in the relevant insulin resistant of obesity, the metabolic capacity of skeletal muscle is adjusted to lipid esterification rather than oxidation, and the weight loss that diet causes can not correct this deposition (Simoneau etc., 1999, FASEB J.13:2051-60).Also show on evidence muscle lipid normalization be accompanied by insulin sensitivity improve (see as, McGarry etc., 1992, science 258:766-70; Ellis etc., 2000, U.S. physiology endocrine metabolism (AmJ Physiol Endocrinol Metab) 279:E554-60; Oakes etc., 1997, diabetes 46:1768-74; Furler etc., 1997, metabolism 46:1101-6; Kraegen etc., 1991, diabetes 40:1397-403; Dobbins etc., 2001, diabetes 50:123-30; Unger etc., 2000, international fat relevant Developmental and Metabolic Disorder magazine (Int J Obs Relat Metab Disord) 24 appendix 4:S28-32; Manco etc., 2000, metabolism 49:220-4; Kelley etc., 1999, physiology 277 (6Pt1): E1130-41).
The disease and the symptom that are characterized as accumulation of lipid in the skeletal muscle comprise insulin resistant and related symptoms, as the symptom (as type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia, arteriosclerosis and thrombosis) and the polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) of X syndrome.The disease and the symptom that are characterized as accumulation of lipid in the liver comprise lipid liver (degeneration of liver lipid).The degeneration of liver lipid produces in the patient of solvent damage (as being caused by carbon tetrachloride) or long-term excessive edible ethanol, obese patient and as the result who takes medicine such as glucocorticoid and synthetic estrogen.On the one hand, the invention provides method and the reagent that is used for the treatment of these or other symptom.
The present invention also provides definite and develops the method that is used at the pharmaceutical composition of muscle or the decomposition of its hetero-organization moderate stimulation lipid.
In addition, observed and in mice, knock out the CGRP-1 gene and do not influence vasodilative regulation and control (Lu etc., 1999, molecular cell neuroscience (Mol.Cell.Neuroscience) 14:99-120).Therefore, on the one hand, the invention provides and use, and minimize or avoid to follow usually the side effect of taking heavy dose of CGRP (as vasodilation usually by the method for the agonist treatment insulin resistant of the bonded high-affinity CGRP of CGRP-1 receptor; Acute cardiovascular).Can also realize the beneficial effect that lipid decomposes, minimize the increase (as producing) and the blood-glucose rising (generating) of peripheral lactic acid simultaneously as the liver glucose that produces free lactic acid stimulation from the glycogen degraded.

C. high-affinity CGRP receptor stimulating agent
Used high-affinity CGRP receptor stimulating agent comprises various types of compounds in the present invention's practice, comprises the analog and the non-peptide compound of peptide, peptide.Suitable agonist is described hereinafter and/or can be definite with method described herein (and/or by because the present invention openly instructs those of ordinary skill be obvious method).High-affinity CGRP receptor stimulating agent stimulates the lipid in the skeletal muscle to decompose.Preferred agonist and/or dosage cause preferably stimulating high-affinity CGRP receptor with respect to metabolism amylopectin receptor.
The preferred stimulation
Point out that as this paper some tissue (as skeletal muscle) is expressed high-affinity receptor and metabolism amylopectin receptor, and some chemical compound such as rat CGRP-1 are the agonist of high-affinity receptor and metabolism amylopectin receptor.As noted above, the lipid decomposition can be receptor-mediated by these two kinds.But open as this paper, expectation preferably stimulates high-affinity receptor usually." the preferred stimulation " has this term conventional meaning, can be described (or detection) in every way.The EC that has this high-affinity receptor when the high-affinity receptor agonist 50Shi Fasheng " the preferred stimulation ", this EC 50Be lower than the EC of metabolism amylopectin 50, the dosage of this agonist and concentration are lower than the EC of metabolism amylopectin receptor 50, but be equal to or higher than the EC of high-affinity receptor 50In one embodiment, when the high-affinity receptor agonist does not cause any detectable stimulation to metabolism amylopectin receptor, realize " the preferred stimulation " (for example at any dosage, any be lower than 10 μ M or any 10mM of being lower than).
Therefore, in one embodiment of the invention, high-affinity CGRP receptor stimulating agent preferably stimulates the amount of high-affinity CGRP receptor to be applied to produce with respect to metabolism amylopectin receptor.This preferred stimulation can be implemented, for example by adjusting the dosage or the prescription of agonist, perhaps according to the characteristic of agonist.
In a preferred embodiment, relative metabolism amylopectin receptor contacts the reagent of the preferred stimulation of the high-affinity CGRP receptor preferred stimulation by the cell participant being caused this high-affinity CGRP receptor and to realize.In one embodiment, this reagent is the agonist of high-affinity CGRP receptor, and can substantially not stimulate metabolism amylopectin receptor.In one embodiment, this reagent has an EC who influences lipid decomposition stimulation by metabolism amylopectin receptor 50, it is significantly greater than influencing the EC that lipid separately wins stimulation by high-affinity CGRP receptor 50In one embodiment, skeletal muscle is contacted the generation (measuring as the state (appearance) that passes through FFA in tissue or the blood plasma) that causes more FFA with this reagent, this is because the lipid of high-affinity receptor decomposes the lipid decomposition stimulation of stimulation greater than metabolism amylopectin receptor.Can expect that whether the effect of determining a kind of reagent is that to stimulate the result's of high-affinity CGRP method be that known amylopectin is to work by the metabolism receptor by the relatively effect of this reagent and the effect (having the dose-effect curve similar to CGRP) of amylopectin.
In some embodiments, this reagent influences the EC that lipid decomposes to stimulate by metabolism amylopectin receptor 50Significantly influence the EC that lipid decomposes to stimulate by high-affinity CGRP receptor greater than this reagent 50, it is for the EC of high-affinity receptor 50Than the EC that is used for metabolism amylopectin receptor 50At least low 10 times, more generally low at least about 100 times, at least about low 500 times, at least about low 1000 times, at least about low 5000 times, at least about low 10000 times.But, more generally, the EC of high-affinity CGRP receptor 50At least about low 10 5Doubly, at least about low 10 6Doubly, at least about low 10 7Doubly, at least about low 10 8Doubly.Be described as the EC of low affinity receptor 50(" EC 50-amylopectin-R") with the EC of high-affinity receptor 50(" EC 50-CGRP-R") ratio, i.e. EC 50-amylopectin-R/ EC5 0-CGRP-R, for having the higher significantly EC that stimulates by high-affinity receptor 50Reagent, this ratio is usually at least about 10, usually at least about greater than 10 2, greater than 5 * 10 2, greater than 10 3, greater than 5 * 10 3, greater than 10 4, greater than 10 5, greater than 10 6, greater than 10 7, or greater than 10 8Be used to measure the EC of chemical compound 50Method be known, describe hereinafter.
In some embodiments, when contacting when being applied or with cell or tissue, high-affinity CGRP receptor stimulating agent does not have any remarkable or any detectable stimulating activity to metabolism amylopectin receptor.The active detection of significant stimulation to metabolism amylopectin receptor is when pouring into agonist to animal (as rat), produces with respect to perfusion normal saline or the control animal blood lactic acid of other non-active ingredients or the remarkable increase of blood-glucose.Significance is to determine by intrinsic average and standard variance in conventional method such as the measured value.Significant difference available standards analytical method between contrast and the processing method such as t-check the check of significance ground.Usually, adopt n>1 to analyze, as be at least 7 and be used for bigger statistical edge.To lactic acid generate to increase and skeletal muscle in the analysis that raises of glucose by metabolism amylopectin receptor antagonist insulin stimulating be well known in the art (see as Cooper, 1994, endocrinology review (Endocr Rev) 15:163-201; Young etc., 1993, FEBSLett.334 (3) 317-321; With Young etc., amylopectin is active to detect US6,048,514).
Can choose cell and tissue, carry out other detections from cell and tissue, cell line and the reconstitution cell of other mammals (as mice and rat).Detection comprises cell detection, extra-organismal detection (as the isolated rat musculus soleus) and integral animal is studied.For example, can carry out cell analysis with the recombinant receptor of describing among the embodiment hereinafter based on cell.
In a kind of analysis, use the isolated rat musculus soleus.Rat soleus muscle contains high-affinity CGRP receptor and metabolism amylopectin receptor, and the isolated rat musculus soleus is specially adapted to distinguish to the not same-action of isoacceptor not.Musculus soleus can derive from the animal of high lipid or conventional food of feeding, make the dose-response curve of chemical compound, the reflection of the process that wherein generates analysis reflection (reflective) (as mensuration of muscle free fatty and content of triglyceride) of the process that (i) take place by high-affinity CGRP receptor and metabolism amylopectin receptor and (ii) take place by metabolism amylopectin receptor (as the muscle glycogen content when having strong stimulation insulin [ 14C]-conversion of glucose is the mensuration of glycogen).Shown that amylopectin has similar effect with CGRP to glycogen metabolism, especially, to the conversion of glucose of insulin stimulating be glycogen noncompetitive inhibition (analyze as an example, see as Muff etc., the same; Copper etc., 1994, endocrinology is looked back 15:163-201; Gardiner, 1991, diabetes 40:948-951; Takenaga, 1999, European pharmaceutical journal (Euro.J, Pharma.) 367:239-245; Leighton etc., 1988, natural 335:632-5; Cooper etc., 1988, the compilation 85:7763-6 of NAS).A kind of reagent, dosage or prescription produce expression to have stimulated high-affinity CGRP receptor and not to have produced result to the indication of metabolism amylopectin receptor-specific sexual stimulus, then is considered to not the agonist of high-affinity CGRP receptor that can substantial activation metabolism amylopectin receptor.In one embodiment, distinguish by the selective antagonist of high-affinity and/or metabolic receptor with effect metabolic receptor high-affinity.With respect to control tissue, cell or animal (as not being exposed in the agonist), do not cause the reagent of metabolism amylopectin receptor active significant change or the activity that processing (decomposing enhancing as receptor-mediated lipid) is considered to substantially not stimulate metabolism amylopectin receptor.This paper also provides other detections (as seeing embodiment) of the preferred stimulation of determining high-affinity receptor.
As noted above, in one embodiment of the invention, the agonist of high-affinity receptor does not substantially stimulate the dosage of low affinity muscle metabolism amylopectin receptor to be applied to mammal (or contact with in vitro tissue) with the high-affinity CGRP receptor of the skeletal muscle that is enough to stimulation of host.Therefore, a kind of reagent stimulates high-affinity receptor and metabolism amylopectin receptor when high concentration, the dosage that can use by adjustment (as, adjust prescription make only have the reactive compound of tested measurement to be released and can and receptor acting) regulate any stimulation maximization of the effect of this reagent with respect to metabolism amylopectin receptor." dosage that is applied " used herein is intended to comprise that tissue and reagent are in the body outer contacting.
The preferred dose scope that the high-affinity receptor agonist is applied to mammal (as the mankind) descends at least about 15% minimum dose for cause lipid in skeletal muscle or liver, preferably at least about 25%, more preferably at least about 30%, more preferably at least about 50%, or higher, 75% (as measuring) according to appointment by the variation of free fatty or triglyceride levels.
Another preferred dose scope that the high-affinity receptor agonist is applied to mammal (as the mankind) is to produce the content of the stimulation that lipid is decomposed at mammalian bone flesh, and does not stimulate or Min. ground stimulation vasodilation.This content can be measured by many methods, carries out the dose-response analysis for experimental animal (as by I.V., oral or other approach of I.P.) as the CGRP receptor agonism agent prescription of using a large amount of various dose by (i); (ii) detect the influence that each dosage decomposes the lipid in the experimental animal muscle and detect each dosage, decompose and vasodilative dose response data thereby set up lipid to the vasodilative influence of experimental animal; (iii) determine the dosage of CGRP receptor agonism agent prescription from the dose response data, it improves the lipid decomposition and increases vasodilation indistinctively in mammal, or only Min. ground increases vasodilation.Vasodilation can be with any mensuration in the various detection methods (seeing as Nuki etc., 1993, biochemistry biophysical studies communication (Biochem Biophys Res Commun) 196:245-51).In the mankind, vasodilation can be monitored by measuring systolic pressure and mean arterial blood pressure.
Another preferred dose scope that the high-affinity receptor agonist is applied to mammal (as the mankind) is to produce the stimulation that lipid is decomposed at mammalian bone flesh, and does not stimulate or Min. ground stimulates the raise content of (being to raise significantly on the statistics of relative baseline values) of glucose in the blood and/or lactate level.This content can be measured by many methods, carries out the dose-response analysis for experimental animal (as by I.V., oral or other approach of I.P.) as the CGRP receptor agonism agent prescription of using a large amount of various dose by (i); (ii) detect the influence that each dosage decomposes the lipid in the experimental animal muscle and detect the influence of each dosage to experimental animal glucose and/or lactate level, lipid decomposes and the dose response data of glucose/lactate level thereby set up; (iii) determine the dosage of CGRP receptor agonism agent prescription from the dose response data, it strengthens the lipid decomposition and does not improve or Min. ground raising glucose and/or lactate level in mammal.Blood-glucose and lactic acid can be measured with conventional method, as by being present in immobilized enzyme chemistry (glucoseoxidase, L-Lactate Oxidase, analyser model 2300-STAT, the Yellow SpringsInstruments in the standard glucose analyser, Yellow Springs, the Ohio).In brief, oxidized when substrate enters the enzyme layer, generate hydrogen peroxide, hydrogen peroxide sees through cellulose acetate to platinum electrode and oxidized.The electric current and the concentration of substrate that produce are proportional.Also can be referring to as Ye etc., 2001, diabetes (Diabetes), 50:411-417; Ellis etc., 2000, U.S. physiology magazine (Am.J.Phys.) 279:E544-E560.
When being natural CGRP-1 polypeptide (as human CGRP-1), be created in the EC of high-affinity CGRP receptor 50In the scope (as from 10 -11M to 10 -13The M scope) is lower than the EC of metabolism amylopectin receptor 50(as from 10 -9M to 10 -8The M scope) pharmaceutical formulation of blood or serum-concentration CGRP-1 is useful especially.For CGRP-1 and functional variant thereof, typical doses generation blood plasma or serum levels are about 10 -15M is to about 10 -10Between the M, about 10 -15M is to about 10 -11Between the M, or about 10 -15M is to about 10 -12Between the M.Useful blood plasma or serum levels are usually<10 -10M.These scopes are appreciated that for example rather than are used for limiting.The blood plasma and the serum levels of chemical compound (comprising non-peptide compound) can be measured by conventional method, as ELISA, RIA, spectrophotography, enzymatic analysis or additive method).
Be appreciated that by the instruction of this paper and guide that the whole bag of tricks can be used to determine preferably to activate or stimulate with respect to metabolism amylopectin receptor chemical compound, compositions, dosage and the prescription of high-affinity CGRP receptor.Obviously these methods can be used to screen the reagent that is used for the treatment of insulin resistant and other symptoms.
Adopt the competition of recombinant receptor to combine affinity (as K with the inherence of metabolism amylopectin receptor in conjunction with detecting to produce about chemical compound iValue) information, and confirm whether target compound works by receptor-mediated mechanism.For example, if target compound can generate the blocking-up second message,second messenger of metabolism amylopectin receptor place by amylopectin or CGRP, just this shows that this chemical compound is a kind of antagonist so.If when lacking amylopectin or CGRP, chemical compound itself can cause that the second message,second messenger reacts, this shows that the chemical compound that is studied is a kind of agonist so.About the information of chemical compound relative potency, as pass through EC 50Parametric measurement obtains from second message,second messenger (as cAMP) reaction under being enough to the compound concentration of saturated this receptor.Can determine suitable concentration in conjunction with affinity according to the inherence of chemical compound.

In related fields, the invention provides the agonist of the high-affinity CGRP receptor of the unit dosage form that is used to be administered to the patient." unit dosage form " used herein is meant and is used for the compositions that single administration is treated the patient who suffers from disease or symptom.Each unit dosage form generally comprises various active component of the present invention and adds pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.The example of unit dosage form is independent tablet, independent capsule, batch powder, aqueous solution, suppository, Emulsion or suspension.The treatment of disease or symptom needs regular administration of unit doses form, and for example, every day is unit dosage form more than 2 times or 2 times, every meal once, per four hours or other are used once at interval, or every day is only once.Statement " oral unit dosage form " expression is designed to the unit dosage form by orally administer.The prescription that is used to inject also can provide with unit dosage form, as in ampoule or multidose container.
Unit dosage form of the present invention contains the receptor stimulating agent for the treatment of effective dose.In one embodiment, the administration of unit doses form produces the certain level agonist in mammal, preferably stimulates high-affinity receptor (with respect to metabolism amylopectin receptor).Therefore, in one embodiment of the invention, the agonist of high-affinity receptor (as CGRP-1 albumen or its functional variant biologically) is applied (as monitoring the known effect that takes place by metabolism amylopectin receptor, as blood or blood plasma lactic acid and glucose level increase) can not make with the saturated concentration that combines of metabolism amylopectin receptor.In one embodiment, this dosage only causes blood or blood plasma lactic acid and glucose level or vasodilative minimal increase (if there is).
Though given dose will depend on the molecular structure and the chemical characteristic of specific agonist, the technical staff of pharmaceutical field can understand the employing routine techniques from this paper open can determine appropriate dosage.For example, the dosage of high-affinity CGRP receptor stimulating agent or prescription can be determined by variety of way, this agonist stimulates the lipid in the mammalian bone flesh to decompose, and not or Min. ground in mammal, cause the side effect do not expected (as, increase mammiferous blood-glucose, blood lactic acid or vasodilation).As using in this article, " level of rising " is meant with respect to the increase that pre-determines level (as the assign thresholds level of side effect).Carry out this definite method and comprise that (i) gives the test mammal by the CGRP receptor stimulating agent that (a) uses a large amount of various dose (or prescription); (b) measure the influence that various dosage or prescription decompose the lipid in the test mammalian tissues and measure influence to side effect, carry out the dose response analysis, lipid decomposes and the dose response data of side effect thereby set up; Determine to increase (ii) that lipid decomposes and the dosage that can not cause the CGRP receptor agonism agent prescription of side effect from the dose response data.In one embodiment, various dosage or prescription are determined by the free fatty acid levels of measuring in the animal tissue the influence that lipid decomposes.Can adopt in vitro tissue to substitute whole animal and carry out similar approach.And based on the instruction of this paper, those of ordinary skill can adopt any the whole bag of tricks to determine the dosage of expectation.
Usually, the dosage of non-peptide compound agonist will be from 10 -16M to 10 -5In the concentration of M (as in one or more muscle, blood, serum or blood plasma, measuring).As noted above, when being CGRP-1 polypeptide (as human CGRP-1), make the blood plasma of CGRP-1 or serum-concentration EC at high-affinity CGRP receptor 50Scope interior (10 -10M to 10 -13M), still be lower than the EC of metabolism amylopectin receptor 50(10 -9M to 10 -8M) dosage is useful especially.For CGRP-1 and functional variant biologically thereof, example dosage is created in about 10 -15M is to about 10 -10Serum between the M or blood plasma level.In one embodiment, serum levels is lower than 300pM.
Reagent be applied to animal produce aspiration level or concentration amount of reagent depend on many factors that the technical staff knows, as chemical compound half-life (as serum half-life) and frequency of using and mode.Be used for explanation rather than restriction, the dosage of CGRP-1 polypeptide is applied with the scope of 20 piks to 1 grams, be more typically every day in 3 milligammas to 50 micrograms.In various embodiments, unit dose (being daily dose sometimes) is lower than about 10 micrograms, less than about 1 microgram, less than about 100 milligammas, less than about 10 milligammas, less than about 1 milligamma, less than about 100 piks with less than about 10 piks.
According to the above-mentioned data that derive from the original doses response curve and other data of obtaining by conventional method, other scopes of polypeptide and non-peptide compound are obvious for experienced practitioner.
The present invention also provides the compositions that contains with the bonded high-affinity CGRP of pharmaceutically acceptable excipient receptor stimulating agent.In one embodiment, this reagent and excipient are formulated into and optionally activate high-affinity CGRP receptor and do not activate metabolism amylopectin receptor.In another embodiment, this reagent and excipient are formulated into optionally stimulates lipid to decompose, and not or Min. ground stimulate disadvantageous side effect, as vasodilation, or blood-glucose or lactate level raise.
(make up individually or with CGRP as reagent, reduce lipid, free fatty and/or long-chain coenzyme A level) can be prepared or be used jointly to CGRP polypeptide or other agonist with other active agents.In one embodiment, agonist of the present invention is not used jointly with insulin.In one aspect, the high-affinity receptor agonist reagent (as antireceptor antibody) that do not suppress high-affinity receptor with suppress activating metabolism amylopectin receptor is used.
The agonist (or antagonist) that uses in the present invention's practice can directly be applied to processed host.Use selectively and under aseptic condition, carry out.But,, preferably be provided with pharmaceutical formulation though active component can be used separately.Prescription typically contains at least a active component and one or more its acceptable carriers.Consider with the compatibility of other compositions and the patient do not damaged that various carriers should be pharmaceutically to go up acceptable with the physiology.Can fill a prescription by the method preparation treatment that any pharmaceutical field is known, see as (editor) (1990) GOODMAN AND GILMAN ' S such as Gilman: therapist's pharmacy basis (ThePharmacological Bases of therapeutics) (the 8th edition) Pergamon publishing house, (1990) Remington, practice and pharmaceutics science (the science of practice and pharmacy), the 20th edition, Mack Publish Co., Eston, P.A.; Avis etc. (editor) (1993) pharmaceutical dosage forms: Dekker parenteral medicine (Parenteral Medications Dekker), New York; Lieberman etc. (editor) (1990) pharmaceutical dosage forms: Dekker tablet (Tablets Dekker), New York; Lieberman etc. (editor) (1990) pharmaceutical dosage forms: Dekker dispersion (Disperse Systems Dekker), New York.

E. monitor lipid content, blood glucose levels, blood lactic acid level, vasodilation, insulin resistant and other symptoms
In some embodiments of the invention, the CGRP receptor stimulating agent is applied to mammal, monitors in this mammal or its tissue (mammalian bone flesh) the stimulation of lipid decomposition or the reduction of lipid content.Usually monitoring lipid by the variation that detects dissociate in the destination organization (as skeletal muscle, blood, blood plasma) content of fatty acid or composition decomposes.Detecting the method for free fatty acid levels variation knows.For example, as hereinafter describing among the embodiment 1, can carry out the gas chromatographic analysis of muscular tissue (deriving from vivisection or tissue culture).Additive method comprises by measuring the non-esterified fatty acid of blood plasma (NEFA) based on the oxidasic colorimetric analysis of S-acetyl-coenzyme-A (Wako Pure ChemicalIndustries, Osaka, Japan).Adopt colorimetric analysis (Triglyceride Procedure 336, Sigma Diagnostics) to measure plasma triglyceride.Nearest data show that also long-chain S-acetyl-coenzyme-A ester can be used as the labelling of lipid metabolism and insulin sensitivity in rat and people's the muscle (see Bronwyn etc., 2000, U.S. physiology magazine 279:E544-E560).Can measure by solvent extraction long-chain coenzyme A, PHASE SEPARATION from tissue with by reversed phase high efficiency liquid chromatography purification and organize long-chain coenzyme A (as derive from muscle dissect) (see as Bronwyn etc., 2000, U.S. physiology magazine 279:E544-E560).In addition, can also adopt the new method that is used to measure the intramuscular content of triglyceride.These methods comprise non-invasive method, (see as Kelley etc., 1991, clinical nutrition magazine (J.Clin.Nutr.) 54:509-515 as computed tomography art and nuclear resonance spectroscopy; Krssak etc., 1999, diabetologist 42:113-116; Jacob etc., 1999, diabetes 48:1113-1119).
In some embodiments of the invention, the CGRP receptor stimulating agent is applied to mammal, measures the vasodilation in this mammal.CGRP-1 and CGRP-2 are that effective vasodilation thing (is seen as Muff etc., 1995, European endocrinology magazine 133:17-20; Nuki etc., the same).But, suppose that CGRP-1 (with other agonist of high-affinity CGRP receptor) can partly distinguish vasorelaxation action with it at least to the influence that the skeletal muscle lipid decompose to stimulate, as activating high-affinity receptor and do not activate (or Min. ground activates) metabolism amylopectin receptor by the reagent of using one type, prescription or dosage.In one embodiment of the invention, this reagent is applied to mammal, measures the vasodilation of this animal.Can adopt any suitable analysis to detect vasodilation (opinion) as Nuki etc., 1993, biochemistry biophysical studies communication 196:245-51.In the mankind, can monitor vasodilation by measuring systolic pressure and mean arterial blood pressure.
In some embodiments of the invention, the CGRP receptor stimulating agent is applied to mammal, measures blood-glucose and generates and/or lactate level.As noted above, can realize that the lipid of high-affinity receptor mediation decomposes, and can not produce by the receptor-mediated not expectation function of metabolism amylopectin (raising) as blood glucose levels.
In some embodiments of the invention, the CGRP receptor stimulating agent is applied to mammal, and the symptom of the disease relevant with the muscle accumulation of lipid slows down in the monitoring mammal.In some embodiments of the invention, whether the monitoring disease process long enough time reduces with the order of severity, sign or the development of determining this symptom.In some embodiments of the invention, the CGRP receptor stimulating agent is applied to mammal (stimulating the mammal of lipid decomposition as needs), monitors one or more diseases or the physiological status of this animal.For example, in some embodiments of the invention, the CGRP receptor stimulating agent is applied to mammal, monitors the influence to insulin resistant of using of agonist in this mammal.Can evaluate insulin resistant in the animal by any the whole bag of tricks known in the art.For example, in the mankind, can adopt oral glucose tolerance test or OGTT (see as Bergman etc., 1985, endocrinology is looked back 6:45-86) to monitor insulin resistant.In a word, 75 grams carried out 2 hours, and the OGTT level is considered to insulin resistant greater than the individuality of 140mg/dl, and the individuality that is lower than the 120mg/dl level is considered to normal.(see as Reaven etc., 1979, diabetologist 16:17-24) monitors insulin resistant can also to adopt the blood-glucose of stable state to measure.The SSPG meansigma methods is considered to insulin resistant usually greater than the individuality of 180mg/dl; And the SSPG meansigma methods is considered to normal less than the individuality of 150mg/dl.Additive method comprises measures HbAlc and with labelling (del Prato, 1999, the medicine 58: appendix 1:3-6 of C-peptide as insulin resistant; Ferranini etc., 1998, hypertension 16:895-906).
Any above-mentioned monitoring work can merge to be carried out; Therefore, as in one embodiment, in the mammal of having used agonist, monitor vasodilation and insulin resistant simultaneously.In one embodiment, monitoring symptom (as insulin sensitivity/resistance) or use result's (decomposing) of agonist as lipid, use before the reagent (as generating baseline) and/or using after one or more time points (maybe, using the back) at one or many when being when repeatedly using measure.
In one embodiment of the invention, agonist is applied to the individuality that is diagnosed as insulin resistant.In one embodiment, this individuality is diagnosed as suffers from insulin resistant, but is not diagnosed as diabetes (as suffering from type 2 diabetes mellitus).
Instruct as this paper, lipid decomposition and vasodilative activity as open CGRP (or other CGRP receptor stimulating agents) can partly be distinguished at least, concerning experienced practitioner, obviously can be by result's (lipid decomposes enhancing, insulin sensitivity rising etc.) of monitoring vasodilation and expectation, give a certain amount of CGRP of administration or other agonist, be enough to stimulate lipid to decompose (thereby with reduce the muscle accumulation of lipid) and do not cause and only Min. ground strengthen vasodilation.

In one embodiment, musculus soleus (as the musculus soleus that exsomatizes) is used to determine the lipid degrading activity of chemical compound.(the lipid degrading activity of Shi Yonging is meant the ability that a kind of reagent decomposes at cell or tissue moderate stimulation lipid in this article).Musculus soleus can be from the animal of high lipid food or normal diet of feeding, the dose-response curve of preparation chemical compound, wherein generate the analysis reflection (as measuring muscle free fatty and content of triglyceride) of the process that (i) take place by high-affinity CGRP receptor and metabolism amylopectin receptor and the process reflection that (ii) takes place by metabolism amylopectin receptor (when having the maximal stimulus insulin to the muscle glycogen content with [ 14C] conversion of glucose is the mensuration of glycogen).From dose-response curve, determine EC 50Value is (as relative EC 50Value).Can from (i) and result (ii), select the dosage of chemical compound.Especially meaningfully in (i) and not in (ii), do not produce the compound concentrations of metabolic effect.In the comparison of different chemical compounds, this concentration will be the measured value of chemical compound relative potency.For example, according to its EC 50Value, if a kind of chemical compound under low relative concentration at (i) and not generation effect in (ii), this chemical compound will be considered to have the relative potency that is higher than other chemical compounds.
In a related aspect, determine the preferred reagent that activates high-affinity CGRP receptor (with respect to metabolism amylopectin receptor), comprise the different bonded step of detection high-affinity CGRP receptor (as skeletal muscle CGRP receptor) and metabolism amylopectin receptor (as muscle metabolism amylopectin receptor).Adopt different several different methods to carry out combination research expediently in conjunction with test by radioligand.For example, detectable with suitable radiation probe (as 125I and 3H) carry out radio-labeled, when existing and lacking excessive unlabelled part, cultivate with the prepared product that contains high-affinity CGRP receptor (as the skeleton sarolemma).Make up saturation curve then, obtain to be used for the incorporating parametric K of specific bond d(concentration of the detectable that semi-saturation is required).In another embodiment, detectable can replace by the competitiveness of radiolabeled CGRP part to determine to the parameter of the specific bond of high-affinity CGRP receptor.In this case, the unmarked detectable that exists content to raise, radiolabeled CGRP cultivates with the prepared product that contains high-affinity CGRP receptor (as the skeleton sarolemma).The figure of the concentration of the detectable of drawing combined CGRP part and not being labeled will obtain sigmoid curve, therefrom obtain the inhibition constant K of detectable iIt is well known in the art carrying out the method for binding analysis and the method for analytical reactions and data.See as Www.graphpad.com/prism/And " classification of RBI receptor and signal conduction handbook, K.J.Watling, J.W.Kebebian, J.L.Neumeyer edits, Research BiochemicalsInternational, Natick, Mass., 1995, and list of references.The method of analyzing can be at " pharmacology analysis of drug receptor effect " of T.Kenakin, the 2nd edition, Raven Press, New York, 1993 and list of references in find.
In one aspect of the invention, high-affinity CGRP receptor stimulating agent (maybe may be the test compounds of agonist) is applied to animal, determines in screening is analyzed whether this chemical compound can be used for reducing the lipid content in the animal (as animal tissue).For example, this agonist can be applied to inhuman animal, and this animal is as the human diseases relevant with the muscle accumulation of lipid or the model of symptom.The example of this test model comprises the animal model as insulin resistant, as ob/ob (Kreutter, 1991, diabetes 40 (appendix 1): 159A (summary); Bretherton, endocrinology 129 (appendix 1): 91A (summary)), db/db (Kreutter, diabetes 40 (appendix 1): 159A (summary)); The yellow kind that can survive (obere-diabetic viable yellow) (Gill with obesity-diabetes in the mice, 1991 life sciences 48:703-710), and LA/N-cp (Huang, 1992 hypertension 19 (appendix 1): 101-109 (Figure 14), SHR/N-cp (Dunning, 1991 diabetes 40 (appendix 1)), fat Zucker (Kotanyi L 1992 diabetes 41:685-680), obesity-diabetes Zucker kind (Geduolin with rat, 1991 biochemistry biophysical studies communication 180:782-789), and by using glucocorticoid (Jamal H, 1990, endocrinology 126:425-429), golden yellow thioglucose (gold thioglucose) (Tokuyama, or abdomen center hypothalamus damage (Tokuyama, 1992 diabetes study clinical practices (the Diabetes Res Clin Pract) 15:23-29) animal that causes insulin resistant 1991 endocrinology 128:2739-2744); Tokuyama, 1991 endocrinology 128:2739-2744) except lipid content (performance of FFA), can estimate other effects such as blood-glucose and lactate level, the vasodilation degree determines can not cause the not chemical compound of expected result.Can expect that come the information of self-organizing and cell analysis can be used to determine compound concentrations, it is the most useful for carrying out extra-organismal dose response research.Whole animal screening study also can be used for assessing compound or dosage.Example operation and Ji-Ming etc. 2000, and it is similar to describe the method that is used for amylopectin among the U.S. physiology endocrine metabolism magazine 280:E562-569.Be appreciated that experimental animal is condemned to death in analysis embodiment more described herein in process of the test or afterwards.
When determining the EC of reagent (or the mixture of test agent, as in some high flux screening modes) for high-affinity CGRP receptor and/or metabolism amylopectin receptor 50The time, can adopt various analytical methods.For example, for the EC of specific chemical compound, receptor and effect 50, can determine for the dose-effect curve that fatty acid discharges in conjunction with the influence and the generation reagent concentration of high-affinity receptor CGRP-1 by analyzing various concentration parts.In one embodiment, when being high-affinity CGRP receptor, various concentration determination reagent are cultivated under the condition that keeps tissue survival with stripped musculus soleus cutlet.Behind specific cultivation stage, extract triglyceride and free fatty, quantize, with respect to the logarithm value graphing of the concentration of detectable.With sigmoid curve and data fitting, obtain EC from 50% of maximal stimulus required detectable concentration 50Value.Describe among the dose response data embodiment hereinafter of instance analysis and acquisition, see embodiment 4.In a word, the CGRP of certain limit concentration is added to (as skeletal muscle) in the sample that contains a large amount of receptors.By drawing CGRP concentration for the figure of CGRP in conjunction with effect (raising) indicant, the bonded EC of CGRP as the free-fat acid concentration 50Can be confirmed as causing half CGRP concentration of the maximal stimulus of detected effect (generating) as free fatty.
In one embodiment, analyze a kind of reagent (or a large amount of reagent, for example, collect (in pools) or high flux screening mode as described below) (a) analyze and determine that this reagent passes through the EC that high-affinity CGRP receptor (as skeletal muscle CGRP receptor) stimulates lipid to decompose 50, i.e. " EC 50-CGRP-R" and the EC that (b) analyze to determine stimulates lipid to decompose 50, i.e. " EC 50-amylopectin-R".Compare these two kinds of EC 50, have EC greater than about 10 50-amylopectin-R/ EC 50-CGRP-RThe reagent of ratio is considered to have the EC of the high-affinity receptor significantly lower than amylopectin receptor 50Preferred EC 50-amylopectin-R/ EC 50-CGRP-RThan being at least about 10, usually at least about greater than about 10 2, greater than 5 * 10 2, greater than about 10 3, greater than 5 * 10 3, greater than about 10 4, greater than about 10 5, greater than about 10 6, greater than about 10 7, or greater than about 10 8
Can screen with various types of compounds and compositions.Suitable test agent comprises natural and synthetic chemical compound or compositions.Suitable detectable comprises polypeptide (comprising albumen and small peptide, as described herein the CGRP related peptides), carbohydrate such as oligosaccharide and polysaccharide; Polynucleotide; Lipid and phospholipid; Fatty acid; Steroid; Dipeptides, amino acid analogue, organic molecule are as micromolecule (as molecular weight less than 1000).The chemical compound that detects can be various chemical specieses, includes but not limited to heterocyclic chemical compound, carbocyclic compound, lactams, polycarbamate.In one embodiment, reagent is determined by the SCREENED COMPOUND library.The foundation in synthetic molecules library and screening can adopt the technology of knowing in the combinatorial chemistry to carry out, and for example see van Breemen, 1997 analytical chemistry 69:2159-64; Lam, 1997, cancer therapy drug research 12:145-67; Gold, 1995, journal of biological chemistry 270:13581-84).In addition, the active improved chemical compound that comes in handy in a large number can screened from as the extract of raw-material natural products.The source of this extract can be from many species, as fungus, actinomycetes, algae, insecticide, protozoacide, plant and antibacterial.Analyzing these then has active extract and comes the isolating active molecule.See as, Turner, 1996, national pharmacy (Ethnopharmacol) 51:3943; Suh, 1995, anticancer research (Anticancer Res) 15:233-39.Many other test agent and libraries are that this area is known.In certain embodiments, at least 100 kinds of different test compounds and reagent are contained in the test agent library.
In one aspect, the invention provides lipid degrading activity by more a kind of reagent and the lipid degrading activity of CGRP and determine whether this reagent is used in the method that mammal moderate stimulation lipid decomposes.According to this analytical method, (in skeletal muscle or liver) reagent identical with CGRP or that stimulate lipid to decompose (comparing) better on identical molal quantity basis is considered to be used in the decomposition of mammal moderate stimulation lipid in cell or tissue, is the candidate compound of animal and human's class treatment.Can in parallel analysis, (carry out) comparing step simultaneously.In addition, the standard value of lipid degrading activity (as every mole of FFA that reagent generated in the unit interval under given conditions) and precedence record (as medium at computer-readable medium) relatively.Also can compare indirectly: for example, compd A and CGRP be the lipid degrading activity relatively, and the lipid degrading activity of the lipid degrading activity of test agent and compd A compares (thereby comparing with CGRP indirectly).In one aspect, by the lipid degrading activity basis as a comparison of the CGRP of high-affinity receptor mediation.For example, in one embodiment, carry out the active comparison of CGRP lipid degrading activity under the 300pM concentration being lower than.For example, in one embodiment, under the concentration that the lipid that can substantially not stimulate metabolism amylopectin receptor decomposes, carry out the comparison of CGRP lipid degrading activity.On the other hand, by high-affinity receptor and metabolism amylopectin receptor or by the metabolism amylopectin receptor lipid degrading activity basis as a comparison of the CGRP of mediation separately.In one embodiment, any form A GRP that decomposes at skeletal muscle moderate stimulation lipid can use; In relevant embodiment (is obvious according to aforementioned content), the CGRP form is to stimulate lipid to decompose by high-affinity receptor.The canonic form of CGRP is but is not limited to rat and people's CGRP-1.

Amylopectin-(8-37) and CGRP-(8-37) are at the skeletal muscle of normally feeding and high lipid is fed rat In to the influence of the hormone-mediated adjusting of lipid metabolism
A. amylopectin-(8-37) and CGRP-(8-37) in the skeletal muscle of the rat of normally feeding to the influence of the hormone-mediated adjusting of lipid metabolism
The in vitro study based on the enzymatic analysis in the stripped musculus soleus bar proves, compare with independent the cultivation with the 100nM amylopectin, 10 μ M amylopectins-(8-37) or 10 μ MCGRP-(8-37) and the collaborative intramuscular free fatty acid content that greatly reduces when using of 100nM amylopectin, be respectively that (18.5 ± 6nmol/g is to 216 ± 26, P<0.01) and (65 ± 8nmol/g is to 216 ± 26, P<0.01), sees accompanying drawing 3A.The peptide with antagonistic activity of these two kinds of linearities all lacks preceding 7 aminoacid, and consistent NH 2Terminal cys2-cys7 disulfide bond circulus, this circulus are that the full-length peptide of these peptides of acquisition is common.The biological agents that these two kinds of peptides all reverse and caused by CGRP and amylopectin in a large number, and with different effectiveness in various tissue with corresponding radiolabeled analog competition.(Wang etc.1991, FEBS Lett291:195-198; Chantry etc., 1991, journal of biological chemistry 277:139-143; Beaumont etc., 1998, U.S. physiology magazine 274:F51-62; Aiyar etc. 1995, neuro chemistry magazine 65:1131-1138; Bhogal etc. 1994, peptide 15:1383-1390; Perry etc., 1997, endocrinology 138:3486-3496; Zimmermann etc., 1997, endocrinology magazine 155:423-431).With respect to only cultivating with 100nM CGRP, amylopectin (8-37) suppresses CGRP-100nM and increases the ability of the free fatty acid content in the musculus soleus (34 ± 5nmol/g than 334 ± 52, P<0.01), sees accompanying drawing 3B.CGRP antagonist CGRP-(8-37) also suppresses the rising (90 ± 7nmol/g to 334 ± 52, P<0.01) of the free fatty that caused by 100nM CGRP.The adding of the insulin of maximal stimulus has suppressed the ability that 100nM amylopectin (216 ± 26nmol/g than 100 ± 52, P<0.01) or CGRP (334 ± 52nmol/g than 107 ± 17, P<0.01) promote the increase of free content of fatty acid in the musculus soleus.Therefore, these two kinds of functionss of hormones of insulin resistance cause the release of free fatty acid in the skeletal muscle.
When CGRP concentration is 1pM, 100pM CGRP-(8-37) and amylopectin-(8-37) can significantly reduce the free-fat acid concentration in the musculus soleus, are respectively (68 ± 8nmol/g than 166 ± 18, P<0.01) and (86 ± 20nmol/g is than 166 ± 18, P<0.01), sees accompanying drawing 3C.
This research provides positive evidence, 8,37Amylopectin and 8,37CGRP can suppress the intramuscular free fatty that caused by amylopectin and CGRP and raise, promptly as the competitive antagonist of composing type CGRP/ amylopectin receptor.By the deutero-antagonist of amylopectin 8,37The K of the composing type receptor of amylopectin iBe significantly higher than the deutero-antagonist of corresponding C GRP 8,37CGRP.The difference of about 20 times binding affinity, this quantitatively with 8,37It is consistent to doing of raising of glucose that CGRP more effectively blocks amylopectin.Confirmed 1 μ M and 10nM 8,37The inhibition that CGRP counter-rotating is raise by the glucose to insulin stimulating of 10nM amylopectin mediation, with observed these peptides to composing type C1 Ins-The binding affinity unanimity of/ramp 1 receptor.Therefore, the antagonist of mensuration 8,37CGRP and 8,37Amylopectin is to the C1 in the L6 sarcoplast Ins-The binding affinity of/ramp 1 receptor is consistent with its relative potency in the musculus soleus that exsomatizes.Similarly, 8,37The cross-reactivity of CGRP and this antagonist amylopectin that reverses competitively suppresses and amylopectin causes the ability consistent (Wang etc., 1991, FEBS Lett 291:195-198) of blood-glucose and lactic acid rising the insulin stimulating glycogen is synthetic.The order of the effect of antagonist be antagonist order with CGRP and amylopectin by with inherent C1 Ins-/ ramp 1 receptors bind and cause hypothesis unanimity to the effect of skeletal muscle glucose metabolism.

The expection test shows in stripped flatfish muscle former generation of total sugar and D[when insulin concentration is 23.7nM 14C (U)] conversion of glucose is glycogen the highest (data not shown).Therefore, lack or when having this concentration insulin, after cultivating 2h, measure and improve the effect (accompanying drawing 15) of CGRP, amylopectin and sCT concentration glycogen content.Concentration-the response curve of glycogen content shows that the 10nM amylopectin causes a large amount of consumption (accompanying drawing 15A) of total glycogen content, from baseline ratio to 65.6 ± 9.1 (n=4 of 90.8 ± 3.7 μ mol/g muscle dry weight/h (n=15); P<0.05).10nM CGRP also sees the similar reduction of glycogen content, is 71.4 ± 7.7 μ mol/g muscle dry weight/h, although this difference also fail to reach statistical significance (n=4, p=N.S.).When having insulin, the inhibitory action of these two kinds of peptides all more remarkable (accompanying drawing 15B).Handle with the 10nM amylopectin, total glycogen content is reduced to 86.7 μ mol/g muscle dry weight/h (n=4, p<0.01) from 138 ± 4.8 μ mol/g muscle dry weight/h (n=12).On the contrary, only make glycogen content be reduced to 113 ± 6.9 μ mol/g muscle dry weight/h (p=N.S.) with 10nM CGRP cultivation.Therefore, amylopectin to the maximum effect of muscle glycogen content significantly greater than the effect of CGRP.SCT does not have significant difference (accompanying drawing 15A and B) to the effect of glycogen content and the effect of CGRP.
D[ 14C (U)] conversion of glucose is that the ratio of glycogen is the synthetic measured value of external glycogen in the skeletal muscle.Therefore, with D[ 14C (U)] glucose and peptide be added in the culture fluid together, cultivate 2h after, in strip of muscle, measure the ratio that is converted into glycogen.When lacking amylopectin, handle the conversion ratio that reduces glucose with the 10nM amylopectin, from 4.8 ± 0.3 μ mol/g muscle dry weight/h (n=16) to 2.7 ± 0.8 (n=5, p<0.01; Accompanying drawing 15C).Similarly, 10nMCGRP makes conversion of glucose be reduced to 2.8 ± 0.3 (n=7, p<0.01).When having the Cmax insulin, the 10nM amylopectin reduces the conversion (accompanying drawing 15D) of radiolabeled glucose, from 27.6 ± 1.4 (n=11) to 16.0 ± 2.5 (n=4, p<0.05), wherein same concentrations CGRP suppresses conversion of glucose, be 13.7 ± 0.7 μ mol/g muscle dry weight/h (n=, p<0.01).When lacking insulin, to the reaction comparison CGRP of sCT or to the reaction of amylopectin more effectively (accompanying drawing 15C) significantly, when wherein having insulin, the reaction of sCT and the reacting phase of CGRP same (accompanying drawing 15D).When the muscle glycogen content descends, take place by all three kinds of consumption that peptide causes to measure in conversion of glucose, thereby the synthetic ratio of expression glycogen reduces.
From these concentration-response curves, draw EC 50Value and 95%CI (confidence interval) (table 14).When having insulin, the amylopectin effect significantly is lower than other two kinds of peptides.Observe between the peptide about the synthetic maximum marked difference that suppresses of glycogen.These results show there is to a certain degree inhomogeneities that between receptor subtype these three kinds of peptides are by causing synthetic maximum inhibition of glycogen in these receptor subtype physiology skeletal muscle.
