Obesity Clinical Trial
Official title:
CCK1R Function in Patient Leukocytes
The type 1 cholecystokinin receptor (CCK1R) is a potential target for the treatment of obesity, due to the ability of this GI hormone to elicit satiety. However, this receptor has been shown to be sensitive to the cholesterol content of the membrane in which it is expressed. Because some patients who might be candidates for the use of CCK agonists to treat their obesity and co-morbidities, the goal of this study is to determine how metabolic abnormalities might affect the responsiveness of this receptor to CCK. Because the normal site mediating CCK-stimulated satiety is on vagal afferent neurons that cannot easily be studied, we will collect buffy coat cells from a peripheral blood sample from patients involved in the Sangre Por Salud Biobank at Mountain Park Medical Center. Ex vivo, the CCK1R will be expressed on these cells and will be functionally characterized, and the cholesterol content of the cells will be assayed. These data will be correlated with the clinical, biochemical, and metabolic phenotypic data collected as part of the parent study.
Subjects are volunteers who provide prospective informed consent to be entered into the
Sangre Por Salud Biobank at Mountain Park Medical Center. These include men and women age
18-85 of Hispanic/Latino descent, who are not pregnant or have given birth in the previous
12 months, or who are nursing, and who have not been diagnosed with cancer in the previous
three years. Two groups of patients are included, representing those who have not been
diagnosed as having diabetes, and those with diabetes. Subjects undergo entry physical
examination and standard metabolic phenotyping, with the non-diabetics also undergoing a
2-hour glucose tolerance test. Blood samples are also banked and available for other
studies, such as the one now being described.
For the current study, 5 ml of blood will be coded and delivered in an anonymized form.
Buffy coat cells will be isolated and infected ex vivo with a viral construct including the
wild type CCK1R tagged with a fluorescent tag. Cells will be placed in culture overnight and
harvested for quantitation of receptor expression and determination of CCK responsiveness
and cholesterol content. These data will be correlated with selected relevant clinical,
biochemical, and morphometric data.
