Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) is known to be elevated in metabolic disturbances such as obesity, type 2 diabetes and fatty liver disease. Lowering DPP4 concentration by pharmacological inhibition improves glucose homeostasis and exhibits beneficial effects to reduce hepatic fat content. As factors regulating the endogenous expression ofDpp4are unknown, the aim of this study was to examine whether theDpp4expression is epigenetically regulated in response to dietary components. Primary hepatocytes were treated with different macronutrients, andDpp4mRNA levels and DPP4 activity were evaluated. Moreover, dietary low-protein intervention was conducted in New Zealand obese (NZO) mice, and subsequently, effects onDpp4expression, methylation as well as plasma concentration and activity were determined. Our results indicate thatDpp4mRNA expression is mediated by DNA methylation in several tissues. We therefore consider theDpp4southern shore as tissue differentially methylated region. Amino acids increasedDpp4expression in primary hepatocytes, whereas glucose and fatty acids were without effect. Dietary protein restriction in NZO mice increasedDpp4DNA methylation in liver leading to diminishedDpp4expression and consequently to lowered plasma DPP4 activity. We conclude that protein restriction in the adolescent and adult states is a sufficient strategy to reduce DPP4 which in turn contributes to improve glucose homeostasis.
