Feeding Neurons Integrate Metabolic and Reproductive States in Mice

ABSTRACT: Metabolic and reproductive processes interact in ways that are important for survival, particularly in mammals that gestate their young. Puberty and reproduction, as energetically taxing life stages, are often gated by metabolic availability in animals with ovaries. How the nervous system coordinates these interactions is an active area of study. We identify somatostatin (SST) neurons of the tuberal hypothalamus as a cell type in the feeding circuitry that alters feeding in a manner sensitive to metabolic and reproductive states in mice. Whereas chemogenetic activation of SST neurons increased food intake across sexes, selective ablation decreased food intake only in female mice during proestrus. Interestingly, this ablation effect was only apparent in animals with a low body mass. Fat transplantation and bioinformatics analysis of SST neuronal transcriptomes revealed white adipose as a key modulator of the effects of SST neurons on food intake. Together, these studies point to a mechanism whereby SST hypothalamic neurons modulate feeding by responding to varying levels of circulating estrogens differentially based on energy stores. This research provides insight into how neural circuits integrate reproductive and metabolic signals and illustrates how gonadal steroid modulation of neuronal circuits can be context-dependent and gated by metabolic status.

Molecular profiling of dorsal raphe nucleus Vgat and VGLUT3-expressing neurons

Project description:Hunger, driven by negative energy balance, elicits the search for and consumption of food. In mammals, this is orchestrated principally through the activity of neurons in the hypothalamus, direct manipulation of which can potently drive food intake. However, the neural circuits outside of the hypothalamus that control feeding are poorly understood. Here, we identify two functionally opponent cell types within the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN), marked by the vesicular transporters for GABA (Vgat) or glutamate (VGLUT3), that project to many known feeding centers and rapidly control feeding. We find that DRNVgat neurons drive, while DRNVGLUT3 neurons suppress, food intake. Furthermore, through the development and application of cell type-specific molecular profiling technologies, we identify many differentially expressed transmembrane receptors, which may represent unique druggable targets. Local application of agonists for these receptors potently modulates feeding, recapitulating the effects of cell-specific manipulations. Together, these data establish a key role for the DRN in controlling food intake and add an important anatomic site that controls energy balance.

Amygdala NPY circuits are critical for the development of accelerated obesity under chronic stress

Project description:Neuropeptide Y (NPY) exerts powerful feeding related functions in the hypothalamus. However, NPY is also present in extra-hypothalamic nuclei, however their influence on energy homeostasis is unclear. Here we uncover a previously unknown feeding stimulatory pathway that is activated under conditions of stress in combination with calorie dense food with NPY neurons in the central amygdala (CeA) being responsible for an exacerbated response to a combined stress and high fat diet intervention. CeA NPY neuron specific Npy overexpression mimics the obese phenotype seen in a stress/HFD model, which is prevented by the selective ablation of Npy. Using food intake and energy expenditure (EE) as readout we demonstrate that selective activation of CeA NPY neurons results in increased food intake and a decrease in EE, which requires the presence of NPY. Mechanistically it is the diminished insulin signalling capacity on CeA NPY neurons under stress combined with HFD conditions that leads to the exaggerated development of obesity.

FoxO1 target Gpr17 activates AgRP neurons to regulate food intake.

Project description:Hypothalamic neurons expressing Agouti-related peptide (AgRP) are critical for initiating food intake, but druggable biochemical pathways that control this response remain elusive. Thus, genetic ablation of insulin or leptin signaling in AgRP neurons is predicted to reduce satiety but fails to do so. FoxO1 is a shared mediator of both pathways, and its inhibition is required to induce satiety. Accordingly, FoxO1 ablation in AgRP neurons of mice results in reduced food intake, leanness, improved glucose homeostasis, and increased sensitivity to insulin and leptin. Expression profiling of flow-sorted FoxO1-deficient AgRP neurons identifies G-protein-coupled receptor Gpr17 as a FoxO1 target whose expression is regulated by nutritional status. Intracerebroventricular injection of Gpr17 agonists induces food intake, whereas Gpr17 antagonist cangrelor curtails it. These effects are absent in Agrp-Foxo1 knockouts, suggesting that pharmacological modulation of this pathway has therapeutic potential to treat obesity. We used microarrays to detail the change of gene expression in AgRP neurons after knocking out FoxO1. AgRP neurons from control and KO mice were collected by FACS. Gene expression was analyzed by microarray.

Post-fasting olfactory, transcriptional, and feeding responses in Drosophila

Project description:The sensation of hunger after a period of fasting and the sensation of satiety after eating is crucial to behavioral regulation of food intake, but the biological mechanisms regulating these sensations are incompletely understood. We studied the behavioral and physiological adaptation to fasting in the vinegar fly (Drosophila melanogaster). Here we show that flies demonstrated increased behavioral attraction to food odor when food-deprived with no corresponding increase in sensitivity in the peripheral olfactory system. Flies increased their food intake transiently in the post-fasted state, but returned to a stable baseline feeding level within 24 hr after return to food. This modulation in feeding was accompanied by a significant increase in the size of the crop organ of the digestive system, suggesting that fasted flies responded both by increasing their food intake and storing reserve food in their crop. The post-fasting feeding response was observed in both male and female flies of diverse genetic backgrounds. Expression profiling of head, body, and chemosensory tissues by microarray analysis revealed several hundred genes that are regulated by feeding state, including 247 genes in the fly head. We performed RNA interference-mediated knockdown of, takeout, one of the genes strongly downregulated by fasting in multiple tissues. When takeout was knocked down in all neurons the post-fasting feeding response was abolished. These observations suggest that a coordinated transcriptional response to internal physiological state may regulate both ingestive behaviors and chemosensory perception of food

Targeting Clic1 for the Treatment of Obesity: A Novel Therapeutic Strategy to Reduce Food Intake and Body Weight

Project description:Overconsumption of energy-rich food is a key driver of the obesity epidemic. However, the neural circuits that regulate food overconsumption are highly complex and many molecular components of these circuits remain unknown. Our recent studies attribute a novel role of Clic1 as a driver of food intake and overconsumption. Clic1 is expressed in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus and expression specifically increases in Agrp/Npy neurons in the fasted state. Importantly, Clic1 exists in two forms and fasting induces a transformation from the predominant soluble enzymatic form to the membrane-associated ion channel form. Clic1KO mice eat significantly less and have a lower body weight than WT littermates when either fed chow or high fat diet. Furthermore, pharmacological inhibition of Clic1 inhibition results in suppression of food intake and promotes highly efficacious weight loss in obese mice.

GFRAL-expressing Neurons Suppress Food Intake via Aversive Pathways

Project description:The TGFβ cytokine family member, GDF15, reduces food intake and body weight and represents a potential treatment for obesity. Because the brain stem-restricted expression pattern of its receptor, GDNF Family Receptor α–like (GFRAL), presents an exciting opportunity to understand mechanisms of action for area postrema neurons in food intake, we generated GfralCre and conditional GfralCreERT mice to visualize and manipulate GFRAL neurons. We found infection or pathophysiologic states (rather than meal ingestion) stimulate GFRAL neurons. TRAP-Seq analysis of GFRAL neurons revealed their expression of a wide range of neurotransmitters and neuropeptides. Artificially activating GfralCre-expressing neurons inhibited feeding, decreased gastric emptying, and promoted a conditioned taste aversion (CTA). GFRAL neurons most strongly innervate the parabrachial nucleus (PBN), where they target CGRP-expressing (CGRPPBN) neurons. Silencing CGRPPBN neurons abrogated the aversive and anorexic effects of GDF-15. These findings suggest that GFRAL neurons link non-meal-associated, pathophysiologic signals to suppress nutrient uptake and absorption.
