CA 2652398

The present invention relates to the functional characterization of the G protein coupled receptor GPR39 and to compounds, which modify or regulate GPR39 protein activity. In particular the present invention relates to methods of screening for agonists or antagonists of GPR39 in order to identify compounds capable of modulating carbohydrate metabolism and to the therapeutic uses of these compounds. In particular to the use of GPR39 in methods to identify compounds that are capable to enhance glucose control in a subject and which are effective for preventing and/or treating pathologies related with an impaired carbohydrate metabolism, in particular in the prevention and/or treatment of diabetes including associated complications thereof, or of the metabolic syndrome including associated complications thereof. Including Type 1 (insulin-dependent or IDDM), Type 2 (non- insulin- dependent diabetes mellitus), maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) and gestational diabetes.

La présente invention concerne la caractérisation fonctionnelle du récepteur couplé à la protéine G GPR39 ainsi que des composés qui modifient ou régulent l'activité de la protéine GPR39. En particulier, la présente invention concerne des méthodes de criblage d'agonistes ou antagonistes du GPR39 afin d'identifier des composés capables de moduler le métabolisme des hydrates de carbone, ainsi que les utilisations thérapeutiques de ces composés, en particulier l'utilisation du GPR39 dans des méthodes d'identification de composés qui sont capables d'améliorer la régulation du glucose chez un sujet et qui sont efficaces dans la prévention et/ou le traitement de pathologies liées à une compromission du métabolisme des hydrates de carbone, en particulier dans la prévention et/ou le traitement du diabète, y compris les complications associées à ce dernier, ou du syndrome métabolique, y compris les complications associées à ce dernier, comprenant le diabète de type 1 (insulinodépendant ou DID), le diabète de type 2 (non insulinodépendant ou DNID), le syndrome MODY (maturity-onset diabetes of the youth) et le diabète gestationnel.
