Aim Patients with long-standing diabetes commonly develop diabetic encephalopathy, which is characterized by cognitive impairment and dementia. To identify potential treatments for diabetic encephalopathy, we focused on the protective action of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) against neural cell apoptosis. In this study, we evaluated whether exposure of cells to GLP-1 leads to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) transactivation and signaling through the PI3K/Akt/mTOR/GCLc/redox pathway, which we previously reported. Methods We monitored the phosphorylation of EGFR and Akt in PC12 cells exposed to MG and GLP-1 that had been first incubated in the presence or absence of various inhibitors of EGFR transactivation. Results DAPI staining revealed that pretreatment of cells with BiPS, HB-EGF and anti-TGF-α neutralization antibodies or AG1478 abrogated the ability of GLP-1 to rescue cells from MG-induced apoptosis. We show that exposure of PC12 cells to GLP-1 induces EGFR phosphorylation and that this effect was inhibited by prior exposure of the cells to BiPS, HB-EGF and anti-TGF-α neutralization antibodies or AG1478. Interestingly, these agents also diminished the capacity of GLP-1 to protect cells from MG-induced apoptosis. Moreover, these agents reduced GLP-1-induced phosphorylation of Akt. EGF itself also protected the cells from MG-induced apoptosis and induced phosphorylation of Akt, which was inhibited by LY294002. Conclusion The neuroprotective effects of GLP-1 against MG-induced apoptosis are mediated by EGFR transactivation, which signals through the PI3K/Akt/mTOR/GCLc/redox pathway in PC12 cells.

How this study scored 36/100
Published in a peer-reviewed journal. Scored zero for study design, sample size, effect reported, studied in people and randomized / blinded because the record does not state it. We have no data on journal's citation record, times cited, citations per year, impact for its field and year, cited by studies here, still being cited, senior author's track record, institution's track record and multicenter collaboration, so those were left out: it earned 21 of the 58 points we could judge it on, which is 36 out of 100.
