In vitro study | Roflumilast N-oxide at 2 nM partly mitigates the cigarette smoke extract (CSE)-induced epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) in WD-HBEC in vitro . Roflumilast N-oxide (2 nM) reverses the compromised expression of E-cadherin transcripts following CSE by 45%. The expression of collagen type I is abrogated by Roflumilast N-oxide (2 nM). The epithelial cell phenotype appears protected when cells are co-incubated with Roflumilast N-oxide (2 nM). Pre-incubation with Roflumilast N-oxide (2 nM) also partly attenuates the nuclear translocation of β-catenin. |
In vivo study | Single treatment of db/db mice with 10 mg/kg Roflumilast N-oxide enhances plasma glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) 4-fold. Chronic treatment of db/db mice with Roflumilast N-oxide at 3 mg/kg shows prevention of disease progression. Roflumilast-N-oxide abolishes the increase in blood glucose, reduces the increment in HbA 1c by 50% and doubles fasted serum insulin compare with vehicle, concomitants with preservation of pancreatic islet morphology. Furthermore, Roflumilast-N-oxide amplifies forskolin-induced insulin release in primary islets. Roflumilast-N-oxide also shows stronger glucose-lowering effects than its parent compound. |
