Clinical and pathological characterization of a novel transgenic animal model of diabetes mellitus expressing a dominant negative glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor (GIPR dn)
… insulinotropic polypeptide receptor (GIPR dn) Gastrointestinal hormones like glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide have recently been shown to be involved in the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus in humans and animals models of diabetes mellitus. The aim of this study was to …

Generation and use of new tools for the characterisation of gut hormone receptors
… a fluorescent reporter under the control of the Gipr promoter has been used here to identify GIPR expressing cells. This model showed GIPR expression in the pancreas, adipose tissue, duodenum and nodose ganglia. Surprisingly GIPR expressing cells were found centrally, in areas of the hypothalamus …

The oligodendrocyte lineage of the median eminence in the adaptation to diet-induced obesity
… insulinotropic polypeptide receptor (GIPR) is enriched in mature oligodendrocytes of the ME, pre-empting speculation that the oligodendrocyte lineage cells of the ME may be responsive to endogenous GIPR signalling. This thesis demonstrates that the genetic ablation of *Gipr* in …

Drug discovery at class A and class B GPCRs
… and gastric inhibitory polypeptide receptor (GIPR), a class B GPCR. Given the possible therapeutic effects of modulating GIPR signalling pathway in diabetes and obesity, the primary objective of this thesis was to discover and improve GIPR allosteric modulators using both in silico and in …

Investigating the Role of Inflammatory Biomarkers and Incretins in the Aetiology of Type 2 Diabetes and Coronary Heart Disease using Human Genetics
… associations of a known missense variant in GIPR, E354, and infer specificity and potential beneficial or harmful effects of GIPR mono agonism. Bayesian multi-trait colocalisation was used to distinguish trait clusters driven by shared causal variants to identify independent causal variants …

LNX1 and LNX2 in the central nervous system: linking behavioural, cellular and molecular perspectives
… with growth-related proteins, such as GHRHR, GIPR, TRIP6 and IGF1R were also characterised. In parallel, a possible role of LNX2 in stress response was examined in Chapter 4. In cultured cortical neurons, LNX2, but not LNX1p70, was transcriptionally induced following neuronal activation, …

Extrapancreatic actions of incretin-based therapies on bone in diabetes mellitus
… studies on the impact of genetic deficiencies of GIPRs and GLP-1Rs on bone mineral density and content. Further studies characterised the beneficial effects of incretin-based therapies on metabolic control, bone microstructure and bone mechanical integrity in animal models of pharmacologically-, …

The interplay between genes and dietary factors in the aetiology of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
… acids) and genetic variants in or near TCF7L2, GIPR, CAV2 and PEPD (p<0.05) on T2D. All studies were observational with moderate to serious risk of bias and limitations that included lack of adequate adjustment for confounders, lack of reported replication and insufficient correction for …

Exploring the function and sensing mechanisms of human enteroendocrine cells using intestinal organoids
… and the advent of weight loss-inducing GLP1R/GIPR dual incretin mimetics. 5-HT is a monoamine neurotransmitter and non-canonical gut hormone that has a wide impact on the gut and whole-body physiology. Most studies exploring EEC function have used either animal models or 2D cell lines. …

Phenotypic analysis of human stem cells and their differentiation potential towards pancreatic cells
… of pancreatic progenitor cells which expressed GIPR, PDX-1, and GPR40, but there was no evidence of further maturation into insulin-producing endocrine cells. ASCs were subjected to stage-specific differentiation protocols designed to mimic the natural differentiation stages of pancreatic cell …
