Project description:Liver mitochondria play a central role in metabolic adaptations to changing nutritional states, yet their dynamic regulation upon anticipated changes in energy state has remained unaddressed. Here, we show that sensory food perception rapidly induces mitochondrial fission in the liver via protein kinase B/AKT-dependent phosphorylation of serine 131 of the Mitochondrial fission factor (MFFS131), and this response is mediated via activation of hypothalamic Pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC)-expressing neurons. A non-phosphorylatable MFFS131G knock-in mutation abrogates AKT-induced mitochondrial fragmentation in vitro. In vivo, MFFS131G knock-in mice display altered liver mitochondrial dynamics upon food perception and refeeding and impaired insulin stimulated suppression of gluconeogenesis. Collectively, we reveal a critical role for rapid activation of a hypothalamic/liver axis to adapt mitochondrial function to anticipated changes of nutritional state in control of hepatic glucose metabolism. The repository contains two LC-MS/MS datasets aiming for the detection of phosphorylated peptides. a) POMC neuron activation and b) time course experiment of fasted, refed and caged food. We assumed that due to the short time (30 min max) that the total protein level remain unchanged.

Project description:Agouti-related peptide (AgRP)- and proopiomelanocortin (POMC)-expressing neurons reciprocally regulate food intake. Here, we combined non-interacting recombinases to simultaneously express functionally opposing chemogenetic receptors in AgRP and POMC neurons allowing to compare metabolic responses in mice with simultaneous activation of AgRP and inhibition of POMC neurons with isolated activation of AgRP neurons or isolated inhibition of POMC neurons. These experiments revealed that food intake is regulated by the additive effect of AgRP-neuron activation and POMC-neuron inhibition, while systemic insulin sensitivity and gluconeogenesis are differentially modulated by isolated versus simultaneous regulation of AgRP and POMC neurons. We identified a neurocircuit engaging Npy1R-expressing neurons in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVH), where activated AgRP- and inhibited POMC neurons synergize to promote food consumption and activate neurons in the nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS). We then performed single-nuclei RNA sequencing to define the molecular nature of Fos+ cells in the posterior NTS/AP area that respond to simultaneous chemogenetic intervention over AgRP and POMC neurons and identified TH+ neurons as candidates for receiving neuronal inputs initiated by the simultaneous and coordinated interplay between AgRP and POMC neurocircuits and relayed to the NTS area by the silenced glutamatergic Npy1R neurons.

Project description:Adaptation of liver to the postprandial state requires coordinate regulation of protein synthesis and folding aligned with changes in lipid metabolism. Here we demonstrate that sensory food perception is sufficient to elicit early activation of hepatic mTOR-signaling, Xbp1-splicing, increased expression of ER-stress genes and phosphatidylcholine synthesis, which translate into a rapid morphological ER-remodeling. These responses overlap with those activated during refeeding, where they are maintained and constantly increase upon nutrient supply. Sensory food perception activates POMC-neurons in the hypothalamus, optogenetic activation of POMC-neurons activates hepatic mTOR-signaling and Xbp1-splicing and lack of MC4R-expression attenuates these responses to sensory food perception. Chemogenetic POMC-neuron activation promotes sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) subserving the liver, and norepinephrine evokes the same responses in hepatocytes in vitro and liver in vivo as observed upon sensory food perception. Collectively, our experiments unravel that sensory food perception coordinatly primes postprandrial liver ER adaption through a melanocortin-SNA-mTOR-Xbp1s-axis

Project description:Maternal unbalanced nutritional habits during embryo development and perinatal stages perturb hypothalamic neuronal programming of the offspring, thus increasing “diabesity” risk. Here we report that exposure to high-fat diet during gestation and lactation did not interfere with progeny’s hypothalamic POMC neuron specification, but significantly impaired their spatial distribution and axonal extension to target areas. Importantly, we established POMC neuron-specific translatome signatures accounting for neuronal aberrant development and axonal growth. These anatomical and molecular alterations caused metabolic dysfunction in early-life and adulthood. Our study provides fundamental insights on the molecular mechanisms underlying POMC neuron malprogramming in obesogenic contexts.

Project description:The arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus (ARH) is one key structure controlling energy homeostasis. While it has been shown that the biogenic amines dopamine and serotonin modulate food intake controlling NPY/AgRP and/or POMC neurons in the ARH, the neural substrates that mediate the effect of noradrenaline (NA) on energy homeostasis remain elusive. By electrophysiological recordings and cell type-specific transcriptomics we show that the main neuronal populations in the ARH, NPY/AgRP and POMC neurons express a combination of excitatory and inhibitory adrenergic receptors (ARs). Surprisingly, NA had a clear differential effect on these neurons. Activation of NPY/AgRP neurons is mediated by _1A - and _- ARs, while POMC neurons are inhibited via _2A ARs. Collectively, our data indicate an orexigenic influence of NA on the ARH circuitry that controls energy balance

Project description:Glycogen and lipid are major storage forms of energy that are tightly regulated by hormones and metabolic signals. Here, we evaluate the role of the glycogenic scaffolding protein PTG/R5 in energy homeostasis. We demonstrate that feeding mice a high-fat diet (HFD) increases hepatic glycogen, corresponding to increased PTG levels, increased activity of the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) and induced expression of sterol regulatory element binding protein 1c (SREBP1c). PTG promoter activity was increased by activation of mTORC1 and SREBP1, and PTG and glycogen levels were augmented in mice and cells in which mTORC1 is constitutively active. HFD-dependent increases in hepatic glycogen were prevented by deletion of the PTG gene in mice. Interestingly, PTG knockout mice fed HFD exhibited improved liver steatosis and decreased lipid levels in muscle, in coordination with decreased glycogen, suggesting possible crosstalk between glycogen and lipid stores in the overall control of energy metabolism. Together, these data suggest that transcriptional regulation of PTG by dietary and nutritional cues has profound effects on energy storage and metabolism.fi RNA-Seq analysis was used to characterize hepatic diet-associated gene expression changes between wild-type and PTG KO mice. Mice were maintained on a normal chow diet or a high-fat diet as indicated. 2-3 biological replicates per genotype/diet.

Project description:The purpose of this study is to characterize the ontogenetic transcriptional programs that specify the identity and functioning of POMC neurons during early postnatal stage and adulthood. We performed Translating Ribosome Affinity Purification followed by RNA sequencing technology (Trap-seq) using Pomc-CreERT;Rosa26-eGFPL10a transgenic mice where POMC neurons are labeled with eGFPL10a tag with tamoxifen administration. GFP-conjugated beads were used to pull-down POMC neurons from hypothalamic extracts at early postnatal days (P12) and adulthood(P60). Both the pull-down mRNA samples and the resultant supernatant mRNA samples were subjected to RNA sequencing process. Gene enrichment analysis identified 1143 and 1047 genes are highly enriched (P<0.05) in Pomc- eGFPL10a at P12 and P60 Trap-seq materials respectively, from which 653 genes are overlapped expressed in both datasets. Gene ontology analysis showed that these common expressed genes are associated with the establishment and maintenance of neuron structure and basic neuronal functions. The ontology annotations on the uniquely expressed gene from P12 and P60 are dramatically different from each other. The functions of P12 uniquely enriched genes emphasizing on the basic cellular metabolism, cellular modeling and biochemical changes, whereas, the P60 enriched genes are related to the maturation of POMC neurons such neurotransmitter development and POMC specific function establishment including the response to nutrient, and the construction of feeding behavioral circuit.

Project description:The activity of the endoribonuclease Dicer is crucial to produce the mature form of most microRNAs (miRNAs). Recent studies indicate that lack of miRNAs in different neuronal types results in a range of anatomical and behavioural phenotypes. In the present study we aimed to investigate the developmental and metabolic consequences of miRNA ablation in hypothalamic POMC neurons studying mice with a conditional deletion of Dicer in this population of neurons (POMCDicerKO). These mice exhibited a progressive obese phenotype characterized by hyperphagia, increased adiposity, hyperleptinemia, defective glucose metabolism and alterations in the pituitary-adrenal axis. The development of the obese phenotype was paralleled by a POMC neuron degenerative process that was complete by 6 weeks of age. Furthermore, immunohistochemistry and gene expression studies in control C57Bl/6 adult mice showed that Dicer was expressed in relevant hypothalamic areas and neurons implicated in energy balance, and that its expression was regulated by nutrient availability. Collectively, our results highlight a crucial role for miRNAs in POMC neuron survival and the consequent development of neurodegenerative obesity. Total RNA was extracted from hypothalamic microdissections of 2-week old control and POMCDicerKO mice using the RNeasy micro spin columns (Qiagen, Venlo, The Netherlands). Ten micrograms of total RNA were converted into cRNA, biotinylated, fragmented, and hybridized to GeneChip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA). Six microarrays were hybridized with three independent samples from control and POMCDicerKO mice.

Project description:Dopamine acts on neurons in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus (ARC) which control homeostatic feeding responses. Here we demonstrate a differential enrichment of Drd1 expression in food intake-promoting AgRP/NPY neurons and a large proportion of Drd2-expressing anorexigenic POMC neurons. This translates into a predominant activation of AgRP/NPY neurons upon dopamine stimulation and a larger proportion of dopamine-inhibited POMC neurons. Employing intersectional targeting of Drd2-expressing POMC neurons, we reveal, that dopamine-mediated POMC neuron inhibition is Drd2-dependent and that POMCDrd2+ neurons exhibit differential expression of neuropeptide signaling mediators, which manifests in enhanced somatostatin responsiveness of these neurons compared to the global POMC neuron population. Retrograde pseudorabies mapping reveals predominant synaptic input onto these cells from within the ARC as well as characterized dopaminergic cell groups within the hypothalamus and subthalamic areas. Finally, selective chemogenetic activation of POMCDrd2+ neurons uncovers their ability to acutely suppress feeding and to preserve body temperature. Collectively, the present study provides the molecular and functional characterization of POMCDrd2+ neurons and aids to our understanding of dopamine-dependent control of homeostatic energy regulatory neurocircuits.
