harbors a dipeptide (Dpp) transporter consisting of a substrate-binding protein (DppA), two permeases (DppB and C), and two ATPases (DppD and F). The Dpp transporter is responsible for the transportation of dipeptides and short peptides. We found that its expression is important for the growth of . . To understand the role of the Dpp transporter in the pathogenesis of . , the expression of virulence factors and . -induced IL-8 production were investigated in wild-type and isogenic Dpp transporter mutants. We found that expression of CagA was downregulated, while expression of type 4 secretion system (T4SS) components was upregulated in Dpp transporter mutants. The DppA mutant strain expressed higher levels of outer membrane proteins (OMPs), including BabA, HopZ, OipA, and SabA, and showed a higher adhesion level to gastric epithelial AGS cells compared with the . 26695 wild-type strain. After infection of AGS cells, . Δ induced a higher level of NF-κB activation and IL-8 production compared with wild-type. These results suggested that in addition to supporting the growth of . , the Dpp transporter causes bacteria to alter the expression of virulence factors and reduces . -induced NF-κB activation and IL-8 production in gastric epithelial cells.

Dipeptidyl-peptidase (DPP)-IV inhibition by penultimate N-terminus Pro-containing peptides is a promising strategy for Type 2 diabetes (T2D) management, as it prevents the degradation of incretin hormones (DPP-IV substrates) like glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), thereby prolonging their half-life. However, the stability and bio-accessibility of these peptides are crucial to their efficacy in orally administered therapeutics. We previously identified LPCL and TPFLPDE peptides from tilapia viscera by-products hydrolysates, which exhibited significant DPP-IV inhibition in vitro and in situ while effectively preserving active GLP-1 levels after 2 h treatment in STC-1 cells under basal glucose conditions.

Introduction: Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors, and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors have potential beneficial effects in Alzheimer's disease (AD).
Methods: We conducted pharmacoepidemiologic studies using two large-scale real-world databases. We fitted covariate-adjusted Cox models to compare the risks of AD among initiators of GLP-1 receptor agonists, SGLT-2 inhibitors, and DPP-4 inhibitors.

Aim: Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2is) have a direct cardiac effect that is independent of their glucose-lowering renal effect. We investigated the relation between SGLT-2is and all-cause mortality compared with (1) dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP-4is) and (2) metformin monotherapy in type 2 diabetes among subjects with a diabetes duration of <5 years at cohort entry.
Methods: A cohort study was conducted among patients initiating a new antidiabetic drug class between January 2013 and September 2020 by extracting data from the UK Clinical Practice Research Datalink.

Introduction: Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) offers a detailed view of glycaemic management, potentially enhancing the effectiveness of non-insulin, anti-diabetes medications. This study aimed to evaluate whether CGM use in combination with anti-diabetes medications is associated with changes in A1c among people with type 2 diabetes not using insulin.
Materials And Methods: This was a retrospective, observational analysis of administrative claims and linked laboratory data from Optum's Clinformatics Data Mart database.

Type 2 diabetes (T2D), along with other co-morbidities (hypertension, hyperlipidemia, etc.), causes vascular complications and atherosclerosis, leading to heart or kidney damage. The timely detection of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) risk helps in targeted treatment, thereby reducing hospitalization/death in people with T2D.
