A precision approach to type 2 diabetes therapy would aim to target treatment according to patient characteristics. We examined if measures of insulin resistance and secretion were associated with glycemic response to dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitor therapy.
We evaluated whether markers of insulin resistance and insulin secretion were associated with 6-month glycemic response in a prospective study of noninsulin-treated participants starting DPP-4 inhibitor therapy (Predicting Response to Incretin Based Agents [PRIBA] study; = 254), with replication for routinely available markers in U.K. electronic health care records (Clinical Practice Research Datalink [CPRD]; = 23,001). In CPRD, we evaluated associations between baseline markers and 3-year durability of response. To test the specificity of findings, we repeated analyses for glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists (PRIBA, = 339; CPRD, = 4,464).
In PRIBA, markers of higher insulin resistance (higher fasting C-peptide [ = 0.03], HOMA2 insulin resistance [ = 0.01], and triglycerides [ < 0.01]) were associated with reduced 6-month HbA response to DPP-4 inhibitors. In CPRD, higher triglycerides and BMI were associated with reduced HbA response (both < 0.01). A subgroup defined by obesity (BMI ≥30 kg/m) and high triglycerides (≥2.3 mmol/L) had reduced 6-month response in both data sets (PRIBA HbA reduction 5.3 [95% CI 1.8, 8.6] mmol/mol [0.5%] [obese and high triglycerides] vs. 11.3 [8.4, 14.1] mmol/mol [1.0%] [nonobese and normal triglycerides]; = 0.01). In CPRD, the obese, high- triglycerides subgroup also had less durable response (hazard ratio 1.28 [1.16, 1.41]; < 0.001). There was no association between markers of insulin resistance and response to GLP-1 receptor agonists.
Markers of higher insulin resistance are consistently associated with reduced glycemic response to DPP-4 inhibitors. This finding provides a starting point for the application of a precision diabetes approach to DPP-4 inhibitor therapy.
针对 2 型糖尿病的精准治疗方法旨在根据患者特征进行靶向治疗。我们研究了胰岛素抵抗和胰岛素分泌的指标是否与二肽基肽酶 4(DPP-4)抑制剂治疗的血糖反应有关。
我们在一项非胰岛素治疗参与者开始 DPP-4 抑制剂治疗的前瞻性研究(预测基于肠降血糖素的药物反应研究 [PRIBA];n=254)中评估了胰岛素抵抗和胰岛素分泌标志物与 6 个月血糖反应的关系,并在英国电子健康记录(临床实践研究数据链接 [CPRD];n=23001)中对常规可用标志物进行了复制。在 CPRD 中,我们评估了基线标志物与 3 年反应持久性之间的关联。为了测试发现的特异性,我们还对胰高血糖素样肽 1(GLP-1)受体激动剂(PRIBA,n=339;CPRD,n=4464)进行了重复分析。
在 PRIBA 中,较高的胰岛素抵抗标志物(较高的空腹 C 肽 [=0.03]、HOMA2 胰岛素抵抗 [=0.01] 和甘油三酯 [<0.01])与 DPP-4 抑制剂治疗 6 个月后的 HbA 反应降低有关。在 CPRD 中,较高的甘油三酯和 BMI 与 HbA 反应降低有关(均 <0.01)。在两个数据集(PRIBA HbA 降低 5.3 [95%CI 1.8, 8.6] mmol/mol [0.5%] [肥胖和高甘油三酯] vs. 11.3 [8.4, 14.1] mmol/mol [1.0%] [非肥胖和正常甘油三酯];=0.01)中,肥胖(BMI≥30kg/m)和高甘油三酯(≥2.3mmol/L)定义的亚组在 6 个月时的反应均降低。在 CPRD 中,肥胖、高甘油三酯亚组的反应持久性也较低(风险比 1.28 [1.16, 1.41];<0.001)。胰岛素抵抗标志物与 GLP-1 受体激动剂的反应之间没有关联。
较高的胰岛素抵抗标志物与 DPP-4 抑制剂治疗的血糖反应降低有关。这一发现为应用精准糖尿病方法治疗 DPP-4 抑制剂提供了一个起点。
