Acute and long-term effects of psilocybin on energy balance and feeding behavior in mice

ABSTRACT: Psilocybin, and other serotonergic psychedelics, have re-emerged as therapeutics for neuropsychiatric disorders, including addiction. Psilocybin induces long-lasting effects on behavior, likely due to its profound ability to alter consciousness and augment neural connectivity and plasticity. Impaired synaptic plasticity in obesity contributes to ‘addictive-like’ behaviors, including heightened motivation for palatable food, and excessive food seeking and consumption. Here, we evaluate the effects of psilocybin on feeding behavior, energy metabolism and as a weight-lowering agent in mice. We demonstrate that a single dose of psilocybin substantially alters the prefrontal cortex transcriptome but has no acute or long-lasting effects on food intake or body weight in diet-induced obese mice or in genetic mouse models of obesity. Similarly, sub-chronic microdosing of psilocybin has no metabolic effects in obese mice and psilocybin does not augment glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) induced weight loss or enhance diet-induced weight loss. A single high dose of psilocybin reduces sucrose preference but fails to counter binge-like eating behavior. Although these preclinical data discourage clinical investigation, there may be nuances in the mode of action of psychedelic drugs that are difficult to capture in rodent models, and thus require human evaluation to uncover.

Plasma proteome profiling reveals global and specific changes of inflammatory and lipid homeostasis markers after bariatric surgery

Project description:Obesity-related diseases now affect half of the global population, and bariatric surgery is one of the few interventions with long lasting weight loss and cardio-metabolic effects. Here, we investigated the effect of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery on the plasma proteome, hypothesizing that specific proteins or protein patterns may serve as key mediators and markers of the metabolic response. We performed MS-based proteomics on two longitudinal studies encompassing 47 morbidly obese patients, generating quantitative information on more than 1700 proteins. A global correlation matrix incorporating about 200,000 relationships revealed functional connections between proteins and assigned them to physiological processes. The main classes of significantly altered proteins were markers of systemic inflammation and those involved in lipid metabolism, and our data highlight robust correlative and anti-correlative behavior to each other and to clinical parameters. A group of inflammation-related proteins showed distinct inverse relationships to proteins consistently associated with insulin sensitivity.

A Critical Role of Hepatic GABA in The Metabolic Dysfunction and Hyperphagia of Obesity

Project description:Hepatic lipid accumulation is a hallmark of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and associated with hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance, and hyperphagia. Hepatic synthesis of GABA, catalyzed by GABA-transaminase (GABA-T), is upregulated in obese mice. To assess the role of hepatic GABA production in obesity-induced metabolic and energy dysregulation, we treated mice with two pharmacologic GABA-T inhibitors and also knocked down hepatic GABA-T expression using an antisense oligonucleotide. Hepatic GABA-T inhibition and knockdown decreased basal hyperinsulinemia and hyperglycemia, and improved glucose intolerance. GABA-T knockdown improved insulin sensitivity assessed by hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamps in obese mice. Hepatic GABA-T knockdown also decreased food intake and induced weight loss without altering energy expenditure in obese mice. Data from obese humans support that hepatic GABA production and transport are associated with serum insulin, HOMA-IR, T2D, and BMI. These results support a key role for hepatocyte GABA production in the dysfunctional glucoregulation and feeding behavior associated with obesity.

Isolation of psychedelic responsive neurons underlying anxiolytic behavioral states

Project description:Psychedelics hold promising potential as alternate treatments for neuropsychiatric disorders. However, the neural mechanisms by which they drive adaptive behavioral effects remain unclear. We isolated the specific neurons modulated by a psychedelic to determine their role in driving behavior. Using a light- and calcium-dependent activity integrator, we genetically tagged psychedelic-responsive neurons in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) of mice. Single-nucleus RNA sequencing revealed that the psychedelic drove network-level activation of multiple cell-types, beyond those expressing 5-hydroxytryptamine 2A receptors. We labeled psychedelic-responsive mPFC neurons with an excitatory channelrhodopsin to enable their targeted manipulation. We found that reactivation of these cells recapitulated the anxiolytic effects of the psychedelic, without driving its hallucinogenic-like effects. These findings reveal essential insight into the cell-type specific mechanisms underlying psychedelic-induced behavioral states.

Epigenetic memory of obesity in mouse colonic epithelium

Project description:Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer. Obesity is a major risk factor with long-lasting effects on the predisposition to colorectal cancer; however, the mechanistic underpinnings remain poorly understood. To explore epigenetic mechanisms involved, we performed whole-genome bisulfite sequencing and RNA-Seq in colonic epithelium from control mice, obese mice, and formerly obese mice. We found that obesity-induced DNA methylation changes reprogrammed the transcriptome leading to a metabolic switch favoring long chain fatty acid oxidation, which is essential to colonic stem cell functions and colon tumorigenesis. Remarkably, persistent changes were observed after weight loss mainly at metabolic and cancer-related genes, underlying the long-term predisposition to colorectal cancer. In summary, we provide the epigenetic and metabolic basis of the link between obesity and colorectal cancer.

Epigenetic memory of obesity predisposes to colorectal cancer

Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer worldwide. Obesity is a major risk factor with long-lasting effects on the predisposition to CRC even after weight loss; however, the mechanistic underpinnings remain poorly understood. Using a diet-induced obesity mouse model, we profiled cell-intrinsic alterations in colonic epithelium from young and aged obese mice compared with their age-matched controls, to gain insights into the progression of obesity-associated dysregulations in colonic cellular states. Cellular metabolic reprogramming occurred at early stage, boosting the number and function of stem/stem-like cells; while cell-intrinsic rewiring of signal transduction networks happened at later stage, promoting growth factor-independent proliferation. Strikingly, colonic DNA methylome was pre-programmed by obesity at young age priming for a tumor-prone gene signature after aging. Furthermore, obesity-related changes were substantially preserved after weight loss, potentially contributing to long-term predisposition to CRC. These findings broadened our perspectives on how obesity shapes the predisposition to CRC.

Expression data from murine colon tumors induced by azoxymethane. Tumors from control, obese, formerly obese, or sulindac-treated mice.

Project description:Obesity is associated with an increased risk of colon cancer. Our current study examines whether weight loss and/or treatment with the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) sulindac suppresses the protumor effects of obesity in a mouse model of colon cancer. Azoxymethane-treated male FVB/N mice were fed a low-fat diet (LFD) or high-fat diet (HFD) for 15 weeks, then HFD mice were randomized to remain on HFD (obese) or switch to LFD (formerly obese (FOb-LFD)). Within the control (LFD), obese, and FOb-LFD groups, half the mice were also randomized to start sulindac treatment (140 ppm in the diet). All mice were euthanized seven weeks later. FOb-LFD mice had intermediate levels of body weight, lower than obese but higher than control mice (P<0.05). Sulindac did not affect body weight. Obese mice had greater tumor multiplicity and burden than all other groups (P<0.05). Transcriptomic profiling indicated that both weight loss and sulindac modulate the expression of tumor genes related to invasion and may promote a more anti-tumor immune landscape. Furthermore, the fecal microbes Prevotella and Akkermansia muciniphila, both known to be elevated in colorectal cancer patients, were positively correlated with tumor multiplicity and reduced by sulindac in obese mice. In sum, either moderate weight loss or sulindac treatment completely reversed the effects of chronic obesity on colon tumorigenesis. Our findings suggest that an investigation regarding the effects of NSAID treatment on colon cancer risk and/or progression in obese individuals is warranted, particularly for those unable to achieve moderate weight loss.

Obesity Alters the Composition and the Activity of the Hematopoietic Stem Cell Compartment Through Dysregulation of Gfi1 Expression (Bulk RNA-Seq)

Project description:Obesity is a chronic organismal stress that disrupts multiple systemic and tissue-specific functions. Here, we describe the effects of established obesity on the activity of the hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) compartment. We show that obesity promotes the selection of a quiescent HSC subset primed for activation, leading to aberrant hematopoietic stress responses. We establish that the transcription factor Gfi1 is a key regulator of the HSC fate in obesity as its increased expression in obesity induces their abnormal activity. We demonstrate that these dysregulations are initially triggered by the chronic oxidative stress associated with obesity. Once acquired, we show that the impact of obesity on HSCs is long lasting and cannot be reversed by weight loss or transplantation. These results demonstrated that obesity promotes irreversible changes on the long-term fitness of the HSC compartment, a phenomenon that is likely to contribute to the hematopoietic dysregulations observed in obese patients.

Systemic LSD1 inhibition prevents aberrant remodeling of metabolism in obesity

Project description:The transition from lean to obese states involves systemic metabolic remodeling that impacts insulin sensitivity, lipid partitioning, inflammation, and glycemic control. Here, we have taken a pharmacological approach to test the role of a nutrient-regulated chromatin modifier, lysine-specific demethylase (LSD1), in obesity-associated metabolic reprogramming. We show that systemic administration of an LSD1 inhibitor (GSK-LSD1) reduces food intake and body weight, ameliorates non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and improves insulin sensitivity and glycemic control in mouse models of obesity. GSK-LSD1 has little effect on systemic metabolism of lean mice, suggesting LSD1 has a context-dependent role in promoting maladaptive changes in obesity. Analysis of insulin target tissues identified white adipose tissue as the major site of insulin sensitization by GSK-LSD1, where it reduces adipocyte inflammation and lipolysis. We demonstrate that GSK-LSD1 reverses NAFLD in a non-hepatocyte-autonomous manner, suggesting an indirect mechanism potentially via inhibition of adipocyte lipolysis and subsequent effects on lipid partitioning. Pair-feeding experiments further revealed that effects of GSK-LSD1 on hyperglycemia and NAFLD are not a consequence of reduced food intake and weight loss. These findings suggest that targeting LSD1 could be a strategy for treatment of obesity and its associated complications including type 2 diabetes and NAFLD.
