Abstract

Glycyrrhizic acid (GA) is belonged to triterpenoid saponin that is contained in the root of licorice and is known to affect metabolic regulation. Recently, glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1) has widely been applied in diabetes therapeutics. However, the role of GLP-1 in GA-induced anti-diabetic effects is still unknown. Therefore, we are interested in understanding the association of GLP-1 with GA-induced effects. In type 1-like diabetic rats induced by streptozotocin (STZ-treated rats), GA increased the level of plasma GLP-1, which was blocked by triamterene at a dose sufficient to inhibit Takeda G-protein-coupled receptor 5 (TGR5). The direct effect of GA on TGR5 has been identified using the cultured Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO-K1 cells) transfected TGR5 gene. Moreover, in intestinal NCI-H716 cells that secreted GLP-1, GA promoted GLP-1 secretion with a marked elevation of calcium levels. However, both effects of GA were reduced by ablation of TGR5 with siRNA in NCI-H716 cells. Therefore, we demonstrated that GA can enhance GLP-1 secretion through TGR5 activation.
