Coordination of hunger and sleep through circadian regulation of transcription in energy-sensing neurons

ABSTRACT: Alignment of fasting and feeding with the sleep/wake cycle is coordinated by hypothalamic neurons, though the underlying molecular programs remain incompletely understood. Here we demonstrate that the clock transcription pathway maximizes eating during wakefulness and glucose production during sleep through transcription pathway maximizes eating during autonomous circadian regulation of NPY/AgRP neurons. Tandem profiling of whole cell and ribosome-bound mRNAs in morning and evening under dynamic fasting and fed conditions identified temporal control of activity-dependent gene repertoires in AgRP neurons central to synaptogenesis, bioenergetics, and neurotransmitter and peptidergic signaling. Synaptic and circadian pathways were specific to whole cell RNA analyses, while bioenergetic pathways were selectively enriched in the ribosome-bound transcriptome. Finally, we demonstrate that the AgRP clock mediates the transcriptional food acquisition with sleep/wake state. response to leptin. Our results reveal that time-of-day restriction in transcriptional control of energy-sensing neurons underlies the alignment of hunger and day restriction in transcriptional control of energy-sensing neurons underlies the alignment of hunger and food acquisition with sleep/wake state.

AgRP neuron epigenomes across hunger states reveal that IRF3 mediates leptin's effects

Project description:AgRP neurons in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus (ARC) coordinate homeostatic changes in appetite associated with fluctuations in food availability and leptin signaling. Identifying the relevant transcriptional regulatory pathways in these neurons has been a priority, yet such attempts have been stymied due to their low abundance and the rich cellular diversity of the ARC. Here we generated male mouse AgRP neuron-specific transcriptomic and chromatin accessibility profiles during three distinct hunger states of satiety, fasting-induced hunger, and leptin-induced hunger suppression. Cis-regulatory analysis of these integrated datasets enabled the identification of 28 putative hunger-promoting and 29 putative hunger-suppressing transcriptional regulators in AgRP neurons, 16 of which were predicted to be transcriptional effectors of leptin. Within our dataset, Interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) emerged as a leading candidate mediator of leptin-induced hunger-suppression. Gain- and loss-of-function experiments in vivo confirm the role of IRF3 in mediating the acute satiety-evoking effects of leptin in AgRP neurons, while live-cell imaging in vitro indicate that leptin can activate neuronal IRF3 in a cell autonomous manner. Finally, we employ CUT&RUN to uncover direct transcriptional targets of IRF3 in AgRP neurons in vivo. Thus, our findings identify AgRP neuron-expressed IRF3 as a key transcriptional effector of the hunger-suppressing effects of leptin.

Molecular Connectomics Reveals a Glucagon-Like Peptide 1 Sensitive Neural Circuit for Satiety

Project description:Liraglutide and other agonists of the glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP-1RAs) are effective weight-loss drugs, but how they suppress appetite remains unclear. One potential mechanism is by activating neurons which inhibit hunger-promoting Agouti-related peptide (AgRP) neurons of the arcuate hypothalamus (Arc). To identify these afferents, we developed a method combining rabies-based connectomics with single-nuclei transcriptomics. Applying this method to AgRP neurons predicted at least 21 afferent subtypes in the mouse mediobasal and paraventricular hypothalamus. Among these are Trh+ Arc neurons (TrhArc), inhibitory neurons which express the Glp1r gene and are activated by the GLP-1RA liraglutide. Activating TrhArc neurons inhibits AgRP neurons and feeding, likely in an AgRP neuron-dependent manner. Silencing TrhArc neurons causes over-eating and weight gain and attenuates liraglutide’s effect on body weight. Our results demonstrate a widely applicable method for molecular connectomics, comprehensively identify local inputs to AgRP neurons, and reveal a circuit through which GLP-1RAs suppress appetite.

Liver phosphoproteomics in response to AgRP activated neurons in the presence/absence of NPY

Project description:Autophagy represents a key regulator of aging and metabolism upon cell autonomous sensing of energy deprivation. We find that fasting in mice activates autophagy in liver paralleled by activation of hypothalamic AgRP neurons. Optogenetic and chemogenetic activation of AgRP neurons induces autophagy, alters phosphorylation of autophagy regulators and promotes ß-oxidation in the liver. AgRP neuron dependent induction of liver autophagy relies on NPY expression in these neurons. AgRP neuron projections in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVH) and the lateral hypothalamus (LHA) mediate AgRP neuron-dependent control of liver autophagy. Conversely, inhibiting AgRP neurons during energy deprivation abrogates induction of hepatic autophagy and re-wiring of metabolism. Finally, AgRP neuron activation increases circulating corticosterone concentrations, and reduction of hepatic glucocorticoid receptor expression attenuates AgRP neuron-dependent activation of hepatic autophagy. Collectively, our study reveals a fundamental regulatory principle of non-cell autonomous control of liver autophagy in control of metabolic adaptation during nutrient deprivation.

Identification of molecular markers for candidate sleep-promoting neurons in CeA using TRAP-seq

Project description:A crucial step in understanding the sleep-control mechanism is to identify sleep neurons. In principle, a neuron could promote sleep by inhibiting wake-promoting neurons. Using rabies virus (RV)-mediated transsynaptic tracing, we identified several brain regions with GABAergic neurons that broadly inhibit multiple wake-promoting neuronal populations, and the most prominent source of GABAergic inputs was found in a posterior part of the CeA. The CeA is known to contain multiple subtypes of GABAergic neurons with distinct molecular markers, projection targets, and functional properties. Using translating ribosome affinity purification (TRAP) RNA-Seq, we identified molecular markers for the canditate sleep-promoting neurons in CeA.

Late eating decreases energy expenditure, increases hunger and appetite, and modifies metabolic pathways in adipose tissue [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Late eating has been linked to obesity risk. It is not clear whether this is caused by changes in hunger and appetite, energy expenditure or both, nor what molecular pathways in adipose tissues are involved. We conducted a randomized crossover trial to determine the effects of late vs. early meal schedule on the above measures while rigorously controlling for nutrient intake, fasting duration, light exposure, physical activity and sleep opportunity. Late mealtimes doubled the odds of participants reporting hunger (p<0.0001), increased 24-h ghrelin:leptin ratio (p<0.0001) and decreased waketime energy expenditure (p=0.002). Adipose biopsy directional gene expression analyses showed alterations of several pathways attributed to late mealtimes: TGF-β signaling, lipid metabolism, p38 MAPK signaling, modulation of receptor tyrosine kinases, and autophagy, indicating decreased lipolysis/increased lipid synthesis, particularly for phospholipids and membrane-bound lipids. These findings may help develop evidence-based approaches for using appropriate meal timing to prevent and/or treat obesity.

Homer1a drives Homeostatic Scaling-down of Excitatory Synapses During Sleep

Project description:Homeostatic scaling is a global form of synaptic plasticity used by neurons to adjust overall synaptic weight and maintain neuronal firing rates while protecting information coding. While homeostatic scaling has been demonstrated in vitro, a clear physiological function of this plasticity type has not been defined. Sleep is an essential process that modifies synapses to support cognitive functions such as learning and memory. Evidence suggests that information coding during wake drives synapse strengthening which is offset by weakening of synapses during sleep .Here we use biochemical fractionation, proteomics and in vivo two-photon imaging to characterize wide-spread changes in synapse composition in mice through the wake/sleep cycle. We find that during the sleep phase, synapses are weakened through dephosphorylation and removal of synaptic AMPA-type glutamate receptors (AMPARs) driven by the immediate early gene Homer1a and signaling from group I metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR1/5), consistent with known mechanisms of homeostatic scaling-down in vitro. Further, we find that these changes are important in the consolidation of contextual memories. While Homer1a gene expression is driven by neuronal activity during wake, Homer1a protein targeting to synapses serves as an integrator of arousal and sleep need through signaling by the wake-promoting neuromodulator noradrenaline (NA) and sleep-promoting modulator adenosine. During sleep or periods of increased sleep need Homer1a enters synapses where it remodels mGluR1/5 signaling complexes to promote AMPAR removal. Thus, we have characterized widespread changes occurring at synapses through the wake/sleep cycle and demonstrated that known mechanisms of homeostatic scaling-down previously demonstrated only in vitro are active in the brain during sleep to remodel synapses, contributing to memory consolidation.

Circadian VIPergic neurons of the suprachiasmatic nuclei sculpt the sleep-wake cycle

Project description:Although the mammalian rest-activity cycle is controlled by a "master clock" in the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) of the hypothalamus, it is unclear how firing of individual SCN neurons gates individual features of daily activity. Here, we demonstrate that a specific transcriptomically identified population of mouse VIP+ SCN neurons is active at the "wrong" time of the day -nighttime- when most SCN neurons are silent. Using chemogenetic and optogenetic strategies, we show that these neurons and their cellular clocks are necessary and sufficient to gate and time nighttime sleep, but have no effect upon daytime sleep. We propose mouse nighttime sleep, analogous to the human siesta, is a "hard-wired" property gated by specific neurons of the master clock to favor subsequent alertness prior to dawn (a circadian "wake maintenance zone"). Thus, the SCN is not simply a 24h metronome: specific populations sculpt critical features of the sleep-wake cycle.

Cell type transcriptomics of hypothalamic energy-sensing neuron responses to fasting

Project description:AGRP neurons are a hypothalamic population that senses physiological energy deficit and consequently increases appetite. Molecular and cellular processes for energy-sensing and elevated neuronal output are critical for understanding the central nervous system response to energy deficit states, such as during weight-loss. Cell type-specific transcriptomics can be used to identify pathways that counteract weight-loss but, in adult mice, this has been limited by technical challenges. We report high-quality gene expression profiles of AGRP neurons under well-fed and energy deficit states. For comparison, we also analyzed POMC neurons, an intermingled population that suppresses appetite. This data newly identifies cell type-selective involvement of signaling pathways, ion channels, neuropeptides, and G-protein coupled receptors. Combined with methods to validate and manipulate these pathways, this resource greatly expands molecular insight into neuronal regulation of body weight, and may be useful for devising therapeutic strategies for obesity and eating disorders. Examination of 2 different neuronal cell types under 2 conditions.

Identification of preoptic sleep-promoting neurons based on projection target

Project description:The preoptic area (POA) of the hypothalamus is known to be crucial for sleep generation, but the spatial intermingling of sleep- and wake-promoting neurons makes it difficult to dissect the sleep control circuit. Here we identified a population of POA sleep-promoting neurons based on their projection target. Using a lentivirus for retrograde labeling with channelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2) followed by optogenetic manipulation and recording, we found that the POA GABAergic neurons projecting to the tuberomammillary nucleus (TMN) are both sleep active and sleep promoting. Cell type- and projection-specific rabies tracing revealed the presynaptic inputs to these neurons, including an amygdala GABAergic input that promotes wakefulness. Using single-cell RNA-seq, we identified several molecular markers for these neurons, and optogenetic activation of the POA neurons labeled by these markers confirmed their sleep-promoting effects. Together, these findings define a group of sleep-promoting neurons functionally, anatomically, and genetically.
