Olfactory and neuropeptide inputs to appetite neurons in the arcuate nucleus

ABSTRACT: We report RNA sequencing of single Agrp neurons isolated from the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus. Analyses of Agrp neuron transcriptomes reveals differential expression of receptors for multiple neuromodulators. Neuroanatomical mapping of known ligands of the receptors define subsets of neurons directly upstream of AgRP neurons in specific brain areas.

Antagonistic modulation of NPY/AgRP and POMC neurons in the arcuate nucleus by noradrenaline

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

Transcription Factors Dlx1 and Otp Segregate the Identity of Orexigenic/Anti-thermogenic- and Growth Promoting-Neurons in the Arcuate Nucleus

Project description:The hypothalamic arcuate nucleus contains multiple types of neurons controlling critical physiological processes. However, the gene regulatory network directing their development remains rudimentary. Here we report that two transcription factors Otp and Dlx1 segregate the identity of orexigenic/anti-thermogenic NPY/AgRP- and growth-promoting GHRH-neurons in the developing arcuate nucleus. Otp-null and Dlx1-null mice lose NPY/AgRP and GHRH expression, respectively. Dlx1-null mice also show enhanced expression of Otp/NPY/AgRP, which is normalized in Dlx1;Otp-double mutant mice. Correspondingly, Dlx1-null mice exhibit decreased growth, lower body temperature and increased feeding. Furthermore, our genome-wide studies identify Otp as a negative target gene of Dlx1. Therefore, Otp is critical for NPY/AgRP-neuronal development, while Dlx1 promotes GHRH-neuronal development and antagonizes NPY/AgRP-neuronal development. These results identify a mechanism for segregating the identity of two functionally related neurons, and the Dlx1-Otp axis likely contributes to coordinating energy balance and growth by maintaining a proper ratio of NPY/AgRP- to GHRH-neurons.

A neural basis for melanocortin-4 receptor-regulated appetite.

Project description:Pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC)- and agouti-related peptide (AgRP)-expressing neurons of the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus (ARC) are oppositely regulated by caloric depletion and coordinately stimulate and inhibit homeostatic satiety, respectively. This bimodality is principally underscored by the antagonistic actions of these ligands at downstream melanocortin-4 receptors (MC4R) in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVH). Although this population is critical to energy balance, the underlying neural circuitry remains unknown. Using mice expressing Cre recombinase in MC4R neurons, we demonstrate bidirectional control of feeding following real-time activation and inhibition of PVH(MC4R) neurons and further identify these cells as a functional exponent of ARC(AgRP) neuron-driven hunger. Moreover, we reveal this function to be mediated by a PVH(MC4R)→lateral parabrachial nucleus (LPBN) pathway. Activation of this circuit encodes positive valence, but only in calorically depleted mice. Thus, the satiating and appetitive nature of PVH(MC4R)→LPBN neurons supports the principles of drive reduction and highlights this circuit as a promising target for antiobesity drug development.

Analysis of gene expression signatures in brown adipose tissue (BAT) following acute activation of AgRP neurons

Project description:We have found that acute activation of AgRP-neurons lead to inhibition of insulin-stimulated glucose uptake into BAT. Based on this finding, we asked whether this effect was accompanied by acute changes in gene expression, which could point to the mechanism(s) underlying the impaired insulin sensitivity. In summary, our data suggest that activation of AgRP-neurons actuely reprograms gene expression in BAT towards a myogenic profile. The arcuate nucleus of 4 mice expressing channelrhodopsin 2 in AgRP-neurons through Cre-mediated recombination (ChR2-AgRP) and 4 Cre-negative controls (ChR2-fl/WT, Ctrl), were stimulated with blue laser light for one hour, total RNA from BAT was isolated and subjected to a microarray-based gene expression analysis.

Paraventricular hypothalamic RUVBL2 neurons suppress appetite by enhancing excitatory synaptic transmission in distinct neurocircuits

Project description:The paraventricular hypothalamus (PVH) is crucial for food intake control, yet the presynaptic mechanisms underlying PVH neurons remain unclear. Here, we show that RUVBL2 in the PVH is significantly reduced during energy deficit, and knockout (KO) of PVH RUVBL2 results in hyperphagic obesity in mice. RUVBL2-expressing neurons in the PVH (PVHRUVBL2) exert the anorexigenic effect by projecting to the arcuate hypothalamus, the dorsomedial hypothalamus, and the parabrachial complex. We further demonstrate that PVHRUVBL2 neurons form the synaptic connections with POMC and AgRP neurons in the ARC. PVH RUVBL2 KO impairs the excitatory synaptic transmission by reducing presynaptic boutons and synaptic vesicles near active zone. Finally, RUVBL2 overexpression in the PVH suppresses food intake and protects against diet induced obesity. Together, this study demonstrates an essential role for PVH RUVBL2 in food intake control, and suggests that modulation of synaptic plasticity could be an effective way to curb appetite and obesity.

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.

Gene expression analysis in the absence of Creb in Pomc-expressing neurons of the hypothalamus

Project description:Brain-derived serotonin favors appetite in mice following its binding to the Htr1a and Htr2b receptors in arcuate neurons of the hypothalamus. In this study, we identified that CREB is the transcriptional effector of brain-derived serotonin control of appetite in arcuate nuclei. In this dataset, we identified the downstream genes of CREB in arcuate neurons of the hypothalamus controling appetite. We isolated hypothalami of wild type and Creb-pomcCre-/- (deleted for Creb selectively in arcuate neurons of the hypothalamus) mice and performed microarray experiments.
