Genetic defects underlying the melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) signaling pathway lead to severe obesity. Three severely obese LEPR-deficient individuals were administered the MC4R agonist setmelanotide, resulting in substantial and durable reductions in hyperphagia and body weight over an observation period of 45-61 weeks. Compared to formerly developed and tested MC4R agonists, setmelanotide has the unique capability of activating nuclear factor of activated T cell (NFAT) signaling and restoring function of this signaling pathway for selected MC4R variants. Our data demonstrate the potency of setmelanotide in treatment of individuals with diverse MC4R-related pathway deficiencies.

MC4R激动剂可促进瘦素受体缺乏症患者的持续减肥。

melanocortin-4受体(MC4R)信号转导通路的遗传缺陷导致严重肥胖。对3名严重肥胖的LEPR缺乏者进行了MC4R激动剂setmelanotide的治疗,在45-61周的观察期内,导致了食欲亢进和体重的大量且持久的减少。与以前开发和测试的MC4R激动剂相比,赛美拉肽具有激活活化T细胞(NFAT)信号的核因子和针对所选MC4R变体恢复该信号通路的独特功能。我们的数据证明了setmelanotide在治疗各种MC4R相关途径缺乏的个体中的功效。
