Introduction: Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2) are secreted in parallel from the intestinal endocrine cells after nutrient intake. GLP-1 is an incretin hormone and analogues are available for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). GLP-2 is an intestinal growth hormone and is shown to promote growth of colonic adenomas in carcinogen treated mice. Both peptides are degraded by dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) into inactive metabolites. DPP-4 inhibitors are therefore also in use for treatment of T2DM. It is possible that DPP-4 inhibition by enhancing the exposure of endogenous GLP-2 to the intestinal epithelia also might mediate growth and promote neoplasia. We investigated the intestinal growth effect of the GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) (liraglutide and exenatide) and DPP-4 inhibition (sitagliptin) in healthy mice. We also investigated the potential tumour promoting effect of liraglutide and sitaglitin in the colon of carcinogen treated mice. We used GLP-2 as a positive control.Methods: For the growth study we treated healthy CD1 mice with liraglutide (300 mu g x 2), exenatide (12.5 mu g x 2) or vehicle subcutaneously and sitagliptin (8 mg x 2) or water by oral gavage for 10 or 30 days. We measured intestinal weight, cross sectional area, villus height and crypt depth. For the tumour study we treated carcinogen treated mice (1,2 dimethylhydrazine 21 mg/kg/week for 12 weeks) with liraglutide (300 mu g x 2), Gly2-GLP-2 (25 mu g x 2) or vehicle subcutaneously and sitagliptin (8 mg x 2) or water by oral gavage for 45 days. We counted aberrant crypt foci (ACF), mucin depleted foci (MDF) and adenomas in the colon. Using COS-7 cells transfected with a GLP-2 receptor, we tested if liraglutide or exenatide could activate the receptor.Results: In the 10 days experiment the relative small intestinal weight was increased with 56% in the liraglutide group (p
