Transcriptomic Analysis Links the Response of Diverse Hypothalamic Cell Types to Sustained Diabetes Remission Induced by Fibroblast Growth Factor 1 [single-cell RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: In rodent models of type 2 diabetes (T2D), sustained remission of hyperglycemia can be induced by a single intracerebroventricular (icv) injection of fibroblast growth factor 1 (FGF1), and the hypothalamus was recently identified as a key target for this effect. To investigate how FGF1 action in this brain area achieves this effect, we combined single-nucleeus RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) with single-cell and traditional RNA-seq to identify >70,000 single-cell transcriptomes from the hypothalamus of diabetic Lepob/ob mice obtained on Days 1, 5 and 42 after icv injection of either FGF1 or vehicle. In addition to robust transcriptomics effects on Agrp neurons, which persisted through Day 42, rapid inhibition of Agrp neurons by FGF1 was shown by both electrophysiology and cFos studies. This effect is predicted to increase hypothalamic melanocortin signaling, and we show that FGF1-induced diabetes remission is melanocortin-dependent, as it was prevented by either genetic or pharmacological blockade of central melanocortin receptors. Combined with dramatic transcriptional and morphological changes induced by icv FGF1 injection in tanycytes, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes, including increased cellular contacts between astrocytes and Agrp neurons, these findings implicate glial-neuron interactions as mediators of the sustained remission of diabetes induced by the hypothalamic action of FGF1 action.

Transcriptomic Analysis Links the Response of Diverse Hypothalamic Cell Types to Sustained Diabetes Remission Induced by Fibroblast Growth Factor 1 [bulk RNA-seq]

Role of hypothalamic MAPK/ERK signaling in diabetes remission induced by the central action of fibroblast growth factor 1

Project description:The capacity of the brain to elicit sustained remission of hyperglycemia in rodent models of type 2 diabetes (T2D) following intracerebroventricular (icv) injection of fibroblast growth factor 1 (FGF1) is well established. Here, we show that icv FGF1 injection induces signaling by extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2), members of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family in the hypothalamus, and that this activation persists for at least 24h. Further, we show that in diabetic Lepob/ob mice, this prolonged response is required for the sustained antidiabetic action of FGF1, since it is abolished by sustained (but not acute) pharmacologic blockade of hypothalamic MAPK/ERK signaling. We also demonstrate that FGF1 R50E, a FGF1 mutant that activates FGF receptors but induces only transient hypothalamic MAPK/ERK signaling, elicits transient but not sustained glucose lowering. These data implicate sustained hypothalamic MAPK/ERK signaling in the mechanism underlying diabetes remission induced by icv FGF1.

Identification of AgRP cells in the murine hindbrain that drive feeding [scRNA-seq]

Project description:Objective: The central melanocortin system is essential for the regulation of food intake and body weight. Agouti-related protein (AgRP) is the sole orexigenic component of the central melanocortin system and is conserved across mammalian species. AgRP is currently known to be expressed exclusively in the mediobasal hypothalamus, and hypothalamic AgRP-expressing neurons are essential for feeding. Here we characterized a previously unknown population of AgRP cells in the mouse hindbrain. Methods: Expression of AgRP in the hindbrain was investigated using gene expression analysis, single-cell RNA sequencing, immunofluorescent analysis and multiple transgenic mice with reporter expressions. Activation of AgRP neurons was achieved by Designer Receptors Exclusively Activated by Designer Drugs (DREADD) and by transcranial focal photo-stimulation using a step-function opsin with ultra-high light sensitivity (SOUL). Results: AgRP expressing cells were present in the area postrema (AP) and the adjacent subpostrema area (SubP) and commissural nucleus of the solitary tract (cNTS) of the mouse hindbrain (termed AgRPHind herein). AgRPHind cells consisted of locally projecting neurons as well as tanycyte-like cells. Food deprivation stimulated hindbrain Agrp expression as well as neuronal activity of subsets of AgRPHind cells. In adult mice that lacked hypothalamic AgRP neurons, chemogenetic activation of AgRP neurons resulted in hyperphagia and weight gain. In addition, transcranial focal photo-stimulation of hindbrain AgRP cells increased food intake in adult mice with or without hypothalamic AgRP neurons. Conclusions: Our study indicates that the central melanocortin system in the hindbrain possesses an orexigenic component, and that AgRPHind neurons stimulate feeding independently of hypothalamic AgRP neurons.

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.

Liver phosphoproteomics in response to AgRP activated neurons in the presence/absence of NPY

Project description:Autophagy represents a key regulator of aging and metabolism upon cell autonomous sensing of energy deprivation. We find that fasting in mice activates autophagy in liver paralleled by activation of hypothalamic AgRP neurons. Optogenetic and chemogenetic activation of AgRP neurons induces autophagy, alters phosphorylation of autophagy regulators and promotes ß-oxidation in the liver. AgRP neuron dependent induction of liver autophagy relies on NPY expression in these neurons. AgRP neuron projections in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVH) and the lateral hypothalamus (LHA) mediate AgRP neuron-dependent control of liver autophagy. Conversely, inhibiting AgRP neurons during energy deprivation abrogates induction of hepatic autophagy and re-wiring of metabolism. Finally, AgRP neuron activation increases circulating corticosterone concentrations, and reduction of hepatic glucocorticoid receptor expression attenuates AgRP neuron-dependent activation of hepatic autophagy. Collectively, our study reveals a fundamental regulatory principle of non-cell autonomous control of liver autophagy in control of metabolic adaptation during nutrient deprivation.

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.

Cell type transcriptomics of hypothalamic energy-sensing neuron responses to fasting

Project description:AGRP neurons are a hypothalamic population that senses physiological energy deficit and consequently increases appetite. Molecular and cellular processes for energy-sensing and elevated neuronal output are critical for understanding the central nervous system response to energy deficit states, such as during weight-loss. Cell type-specific transcriptomics can be used to identify pathways that counteract weight-loss but, in adult mice, this has been limited by technical challenges. We report high-quality gene expression profiles of AGRP neurons under well-fed and energy deficit states. For comparison, we also analyzed POMC neurons, an intermingled population that suppresses appetite. This data newly identifies cell type-selective involvement of signaling pathways, ion channels, neuropeptides, and G-protein coupled receptors. Combined with methods to validate and manipulate these pathways, this resource greatly expands molecular insight into neuronal regulation of body weight, and may be useful for devising therapeutic strategies for obesity and eating disorders. Examination of 2 different neuronal cell types under 2 conditions.

Microglia shape AgRP neuron postnatal development via regulating perineuronal net plasticity

Project description:Microglia, the resident immune cells in the brain, have been shown to significantly influence neurodevelopment. However, their role in shaping the postnatal development of hypothalamic neural circuits remains underexplored. In this study, we investigated the dynamic changes of microglia in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (ARC) during lactation and their impact on the maturation of AgRP and POMC neurons.
