The G protein-coupled bile acid receptor 1 (GPBAR1) also known as G-protein coupled receptor 19 (GPCR19), membrane-type receptor for bile acids (M-BAR) or Takeda G protein-coupled receptor 5 (TGR5) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GPBAR1 gene. [5] [6] Activated by bile acids, these receptors play a crucial role in metabolic regulation, including insulin secretion and energy balance, and are found in the gastrointestinal tract as well as other tissues throughout the body.

Contents

History

TGR5 receptors were first discovered by Takaharu Maruyama in 2002. [7] It was the first membrane bound G protein coupled receptor that was discovered for faster bile acid signaling. [8] Initially, up until the late 90's, bile acids were known only for its metabolic function of emulsifying fats and keeping cholesterol homeostasis. It wasn't until 1999 when researchers began exploring into its role as a hormone and signaling molecule with the discovery of the nuclear bile acid receptors, Farnesoid X Receptors (FXR). [9]

Location

TGR5 receptors are primarily located in gastrointestinal tracts where bile acid functions are most prevalent. [10] They can also be found throughout the body, including the nervous system, immune system, and various muscle groups, aiding in the tasks that are relevant to their respective locations. [11]

Function

G-Protein Coupled Receptor working mechanism. The binding of an antagonist to the receptor binding cite, causes an exchange of the GDP, bound to the alpha subunit, with GTP. This activates the subunit allowing it to dissociate from its counterpart, the beta-gama subunit. These separated subunits go on to independently activate other second messenger systems like the cAMP which is activated by the alpha subunit acting on adenylyl cyclase. The GTP on the alpha subunit hydrolyzes back to GDP, allowing its re-association with the beta-gamma subunit. GPCR-Zyklus.png

The GTP on the alpha subunit hydrolyzes back to GDP, allowing its re-association with the beta-gamma subunit.

The primary function of the TGR5 receptor is for the binding of bile acid to elicit second messenger systems in the metabolic role of bile acids. [12] It is also a receptor for other agonists, including activating various other pathways responsible for responses like inflammation. [13]

TGR5 receptors are a member of the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily. As mentioned, this protein functions as a cell surface receptor for bile acids. Treatment of cells expressing this GPCR with bile acids induces the production of intracellular cAMP, activation of a MAP kinase signaling pathway, and internalization of the receptor. The receptor is implicated in the suppression of macrophage functions and regulation of energy homeostasis by bile acids. [14]

One effect of this receptor is to activate deiodinases which convert the prohormone thyroxine (T4) to the active hormone triiodothyronine (T3). T3 in turn activates the thyroid hormone receptor which increases metabolic rate. [15] [16]

Bile Acid Effects on TGR5

Bile acid binds to the TGR5 receptor which increases the secretion of GLP-1. [17] [18] GLP-1 increases glucose-induced insulin secretion, satiety, and pancreatic beta cell production (responsible for insulin secretion). [19] GLP-1 is also used in medications to treat type 2 diabetes. [20]

GLP-1 undergoes heightened production through 2 pathways. The first pathway is the activation of Adenylyl cyclase and cAMP which begins a secondary messenger cascade to release GLP-1. [21] [22] The second pathway entails the increase in mitochondrial activity in response to nutrients like glucose and fatty acids which causes an increase in the ATP to ADP ratio. [23] This leads to the inactivation of ATP-sensitive potassium channels that causes the cell membrane to depolarize. [24] [25] This depolarization causes an increase in voltage-gated calcium channel activity, sending a flood of calcium ions which triggers a cascade of events leading to increased GLP-1 secretion. [26]

Extraintestinal Activation of TGR5 Receptors by Bile Acids

Bile acid's ability to act as an antagonist for TGR5 receptors located outside of the gastrointestinal tract means it has the ability to escape the tract and travel to these various regions. Primary bile acids are synthesized by hepatocytes in the liver [27] and get conjugated with Taurine or glycine before they are stored in the gall bladder for stimulated secretion. [28] Upon the presence of fats and proteins in the duodenum from the diet, [29] these primary bile acids get secreted into the intestine where they are converted into secondary bile acids. [30] 95% of these bile acids get reabsorbed into the liver for recirculation, [31] of which 10% escapes this enterohepatic circulation and enters the systemic circulation. [32] It is through their presence in the serum that they are able to get to various other organs where transporters and channels [33] located at their membranes and barriers allow them to access the TGR5 receptors.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Insulin</span> Peptide hormone

Insulin is a peptide hormone produced by beta cells of the pancreatic islets encoded in humans by the insulin (INS) gene. It is the main anabolic hormone of the body. It regulates the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and protein by promoting the absorption of glucose from the blood into cells of the liver, fat, and skeletal muscles. In these tissues the absorbed glucose is converted into either glycogen, via glycogenesis, or fats (triglycerides), via lipogenesis; in the liver, glucose is converted into both. Glucose production and secretion by the liver are strongly inhibited by high concentrations of insulin in the blood. Circulating insulin also affects the synthesis of proteins in a wide variety of tissues. It is thus an anabolic hormone, promoting the conversion of small molecules in the blood into large molecules in the cells. Low insulin in the blood has the opposite effect, promoting widespread catabolism, especially of reserve body fat.

Glucagon is a peptide hormone, produced by alpha cells of the pancreas.

It is produced from proglucagon, encoded by the GCG gene.

The insulin transduction pathway is a biochemical pathway by which insulin increases the uptake of glucose into fat and muscle cells and reduces the synthesis of glucose in the liver and hence is involved in maintaining glucose homeostasis. This pathway is also influenced by fed versus fasting states, stress levels, and a variety of other hormones.

GLP1 poly-agonist peptides are a class of drugs that activate multiple peptide hormone receptors including the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor. These drugs are developed for the same indications as GLP-1 receptor agonists—especially obesity, type 2 diabetes, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. They are expected to provide superior efficacy with fewer adverse effects compared to GLP-1 mono-agonists, which are dose-limited by gastrointestinal disturbances. The effectiveness of multi-receptor agonists could possibly equal or exceed that of bariatric surgery. The first such drug to receive approval is tirzepatide, a dual agonist of GLP-1 and GIP receptors.
