KCNB1-Leptin receptor complexes couple electric and endocrine function in the melanocortin neurons of the hypothalamus

ABSTRACT: The neurons of the melanocortin system regulate feeding and energy homeostasis through a combination of electrical and endocrine mechanisms. However, the molecular basis for this functional heterogeneity are poorly understood. Here, a voltage-gated potassium (K+) channel named KCNB1 (alias Kv2.1), formed stable complexes with the leptin receptor (LepR) in proopiomelanocortin (POMC) expressing neurons of the Arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus (ARCPOMC). Mice lacking functional KCNB1 channels (NULL mice), exhibited constitutive depolarization of ARCPOMC neurons along with aberrant POMC production. In NULL neurons, canonical LepR-STAT3 signaling--which underlies POMC production--was impaired, whereas non-canonical insulin receptor substrate PI3K/Akt/FOXO1 and ERK signaling were significantly upregulated. Accordingly, the NULL animals were insensitive to anorexic stimuli induced by leptin administration and produced less adipose tissue and circulating leptin than WT animals. Taken together, these findings unveil an exquisite mechanism of metabolic regulation whereby synergistic control of neuronal excitability and endocrine function is achieved through the partnership between a K+ channel and a hormone receptor. As aberrant KCNB1 channels cause developmental and epileptic encephalopathies, these results further establish a K+ channel as a causative link between epileptic and metabolic disorders.

Leptin-responsive dorsomedial hypothalamic neurons link circadian and metabolic systems to govern food anticipation [snRNA-seq]

Project description:In contrast to light-dependent entrainment of the central circadian pacemaker, the molecular and neural underpinnings of entrainment by non-photic cues, such as food, remain unclear. Using single-nucleus RNA-sequencing, we identified a leptin receptor (LepR) positive neuronal population in the dorsomedial hypothalamus (DMH) that is responsive to scheduled feeding (SF). During SF, DMH LepR neuron activity precedes an impending meal. Mis-timed exogenous leptin administration or chemogenetic activation of DMH LepR neurons inhibits both neuronal and behavioral food anticipatory activities. Further, repetitive chemogenetic activation of DMH LepR neurons partitions a secondary bout of circadian locomotor activity in phase with the stimulation. This work places DMH LepR neurons as an essential integrator of food entrainment, and positions leptin as a critical central mediator of this circadian response.

ANGPTL4 binds to leptin receptor to regulate ectopic bone formation and fat metabolism

Project description:Leptin protein was thought to be unique to leptin receptor (LepR), but the phenotypes of mice with mutation in LepR (db/db) and leptin (ob/ob) are not identical, and the cause remains unclear. Here, we show that db/db, but not ob/ob mice had defect in tenotomy-induced heterotopic ossification (HO), implicating alternative ligand(s) for LepR might be involved. Ligand screening revealed that ANGPTL4, a stress and fasting-induced factor, was elicited from brown adipose tissue after tenotomy, bound to LepR on PRRX1+ mesenchymal cells at the HO cite, thus promotes chondrogenesis and HO development. Disruption of LepR in PRRX1+ cells, or lineage ablation of LepR+ cells, or deletion of ANGPTL4 impeded chondrogenesis and HO in mice. Surprisingly, exogenous ANGPTL4 treatment not only promoted HO, but facilitated the transformation from white to brown adipose tissue in mice. These findings identify ANGPTL4 as a novel ligand for LepR to stimulate HO and regulate fat metabolism.

Heterogeneity of hypothalamic Pro-opiomelanocortin-expressing neurons revealed by single-cell RNA sequencing

Project description:Arcuate proopiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons are critical nodes in the control of body weight. Often characterised simply as direct targets for leptin, recent data suggest a more complex architecture. Using single cell RNA sequencing, we have generated an atlas of gene expression in murine POMC neurons, and compare the gene expression profiles of individual POMC-expressing neurons to assess the degree of heterogenity present in this cell population.

Central Inhibition of HDAC6 Re-Sensitizes Leptin Signaling During Obesity to Induce Profound Weight Loss

Project description:Leptin resistance during excess weigh gain significantly contributes to the recidivism of obesity to leptin-based pharmacological therapies. The mechanisms underlying the inhibition of Leptin receptor b (LepR) signaling during obesity is still elusive. Here we report that histone deactylase 6 (HDAC6) interacts with LepR, reducing the latter’s activity, and that pharmacological inhibition of HDAC6 activity disrupts this interaction and augments leptin signaling. Treatment of obese mice with blood brain barrier (BBB)-permeable HDAC6 inhibitors profoundly reduces food intake and leads to a potent weight loss without affecting the muscle mass. Genetic depletion of Hdac6 in AgRP-expressing neurons or administration with BBB-impermeable HDAC6 inhibitors result in a lack of such anti-obesity effect. Together, these findings represent the first report describing a mechanistically validated and pharmaceutically tractable therapeutic approach to directly increase LepR activity as well as identifying centrally-, but not peripherally-acting HDAC6 inhibitors as potent leptin-sensitizers and anti-obesity agents.

Whole larvae and nociceptive neuron RNA-Seq samples

Project description:The goal of this study was to identify ion channels, specifically transient receptor potential cation channel A (trpA1) channels, that were highly expressed and enriched in nociceptive sensory neurons of Drosophila larvae. In class IV da sensory neurons, we find that TrpA1 is the most highly expressed trpA1 channel of the 14 trpA1 channels in Drosophila, and that its expression is highly enriched when compared to the whole animal transcriptome.

Acute (2 hr) response to rxLeptin injection in preoptic area/hypothalamus/pituitary of juvenile Xenopus laevis

Project description:Leptin binding to the leptin receptor (LepR) causes rapid signaling to the nucleus. We investigated the early (2 hr) transcriptional response to acute leptin injectio (intracerebroventricular) in the preoptic area/hypothalamus/pituitary of juvenile Xenopus laevis frogs. Frogs were given i.c.v. injections of 0.6% saline or recombinant X. laevis leptin (rxLeptin; 20 ng/g BW) and 2 hrs later killed and the preoptic area/hypothalamus/pituitary dissected.

The leptin receptor has no role in delta-cell control of beta-cell function in the mouse

Project description:Introduction: Leptin inhibits insulin secretion from isolated islets from multiple species, but the cell type that mediates this process remains elusive. Several mouse models have been used to explore this question. Ablation of the leptin receptor (Lepr) throughout the pancreatic epithelium results in altered glucose homeostasis and ex vivo insulin secretion and Ca2+ dynamics. However, Lepr removal from neither alpha nor beta cells mimics this result. Moreover, scRNAseq data has revealed an enrichment of LEPR in human islet delta cells. Methods: We confirmed LEPR upregulation in human delta cells by performing RNAseq on fixed, sorted beta and delta cells. We then used a mouse model to test whether delta cells mediate the diminished glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in response to leptin. Results: Ablation of Lepr within mouse delta cells did not change glucose homeostasis or insulin secretion, whether mice were fed a chow or high-fat diet. We further show, using a publicly available scRNAseq dataset, that islet cells expressing Lepr lie within endothelial cell clusters. Conclusions: In mice, leptin does not influence beta-cell function through delta cells.

Single-cell analysis reveals cellular heterogeneity and molecular determinants of hypothalamic leptin-receptor cells

Project description:Hypothalamic nuclei which regulate homeostatic functions express leptin receptor (LepR), the primary target of the satiety hormone leptin. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has facilitated the discovery of a variety of hypothalamic cell types. However, low abundance of LepR transcripts prevented further characterization of LepR cells. Therefore, we perform scRNA-seq on isolated LepR cells and identify eight neuronal clusters, including three uncharacterized Trh-expressing populations as well as 17 non-neuronal populations including tanycytes, oligodendrocytes and endothelial cells. This includes food restriction to measure the response of Lepr positive cells to fasting. Using FACS sorting into 384 well plates and Celseq2 method, we generated a high-quality dataset containing a median of 12,082 unique counts and 4,756 genes per cell.
