Early ingestive experience with a high-fat diet tunes satiation and nutrient-specific appetitive behaviors

ABSTRACT: Overconsumption of foods rich in fats, sugars, and calories is a major contributing factor to increased risk for cardiometabolic disease. Ingestive experience with these foods can begin early in children, yet there is limited understanding of the impact of early life nutrition on the development of vagal afferent neurons that sense nutrients in the gastrointestinal tract, thus coordinating appetitive and satiating behaviors. To this end, mice reared on a chow diet (control) were compared to those reared on a high-fat diet (HFDEARLY). We demonstrate that the vagally-mediated satiation response to cholecystokinin (CCK) does not mature until adolescence in chow-reared mice. However, HFDEARLY exposure triggers a precocious maturation of this response, accompanied by transcriptomic changes in the nodose ganglion. Durable changes in appetitive behaviors were also evident in adult HFDEARLY mice, which consumed more lipid than control mice. Behavioral analyses point to alterations in orosensory integration and enhanced appetition in adult HFDEARLY mice, establishing nutrient exposure as a significant contributor to vagal circuit maturation and function.

Single nuclei sequencing of the nodose ganglia

Project description:The vagus nerves are important carriers of sensory information from the viscera to the brain. Emerging evidence suggests that sensory signaling through the right, but not the left, vagus nerve evokes striatal dopamine release and reinforces appetitive behaviors. However, the extent to which differential gene expression within vagal sensory neurons may underlie this asymmetric reward-related signaling is unknown. Here, we use single-nucleus RNA sequencing, in situ hybridization, and calcium imaging to identify a single cluster of neurons, defined by co-expression of Chrna3 (nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit 3) and Cckar (cholecystokinin 1 receptor), that is preferentially expressed in the right nodose ganglia of rats. This neuronal population also expresses several genes implicated in digestive signaling, including Glp1r and Sctr, consistent with a gut-innervating subtype. Our results suggest that right-biased expression of this unique chemosensing vagal cell type may contribute to asymmetric encoding of interoceptive rewards by the vagus nerves.

Expression of receptors for inflammatory mediators in murine vagal nodose versus jugular capsaicin-sensitive (Trpv1-positive) C-fiber neurons

Project description:Capsaicin-sensitive (Trpv1-positive) sensory C-fibers derived from vagal ganglia innervate the visceral organs, and respond to inflammatory mediators and noxious stimuli. These neurons play an important role in maintenance of visceral homeostasis, and contribute to the symptoms of visceral inflammatory diseases. Vagal sensory neurons are located in two ganglia, the jugular ganglia (derived from the neural crest), and the nodose ganglia (from the epibranchial placodes). The functional difference, especially in response to immune mediators, between jugular and nodose neurons is not fully understood. In this study, we microscopically isolated murine nodose and jugular capsaicin-sensitive / Trpv1-expressing C-fiber neurons and performed transcriptome profiling using ultra-low input RNA sequencing.

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.

Ontogeny and Trophic Factor Sensitivity of Gastrointestinal Projecting Vagal Sensory Cell Types

Project description:Vagal sensory neurons (VSNs) located in the nodose ganglion provide information, such as stomach stretch or the presence of ingested nutrients, to the caudal medulla via specialized cell types expressing unique marker genes. Here, we leverage VSN marker genes identified in adult mice to determine when specialized vagal subtypes arise developmentally and the trophic factors that shape their growth. Experiments to screen for trophic factor sensitivity revealed that brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and glial cell derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) robustly stimulate neurite outgrowth from VSNs in vitro. Perinatally, BDNF was expressed by neurons of the nodose ganglion itself, while GDNF was expressed by intestinal smooth muscle cells. Thus, BDNF may support VSNs locally, whereas GDNF may act as a target-derived trophic factor supporting the growth of processes at distal innervation sites in the gut. Consistent with this, expression of the GDNF receptor was enriched in VSN cell types that project to the gastrointestinal tract. Lastly, mapping of genetic markers in the nodose ganglion demonstrates that defined vagal cell types begin to emerge as early as embryonic day 13, even as VSNs continue to grow to reach gastrointestinal targets. Despite the early onset of expression for some marker genes, expression patterns of many cell type markers appear immature in prenatal life and mature considerably by the end of the first postnatal week. Together, the data support location-specific roles for BDNF and GDNF in stimulating VSN growth, and a prolonged perinatal timeline for VSN maturation in male and female mice.

Vagal Sensory Neuron-Derived FGF3 Regulates Insulin Secretion and Energy Balance

Project description:The vagus nerve has long been associated with the regulation of energy balance. However, the identity of the molecules mediating these effects remain largely unknown. Here, we used RNA sequencing to interrogate the molecular repertoire of the mouse vagal afferents. We found that Fgf3 mRNA is upregulated in the jugular-nodose ganglia under acute insulin resistance. Together, we provide evidence for efferent-like roles of the vagal afferents and identify Fgf3 as a novel vagal sensory-derived metabolic hormone that regulates insulin secretion and energy expenditure.

Changes in neurotensin signalling drive hedonic devaluation in obesity

Project description:Calorie-rich foods, particularly those high in fat and sugar, evoke pleasure in both humans and animals. However, prolonged consumption of such foods may reduce their hedonic value, potentially contributing to obesity. Here, we investigated this phenomenon in mice on a chronic high-fat diet (HFD). While these mice preferred high-fat food over regular chow in their home cages, they showed reduced interest in calorie-rich foods in a no-effort setting. This paradoxical decrease in hedonic feeding has been reported previously, but its neurobiological basis remains unclear. We found that in regular diet mice, neurons in the lateral nucleus accumbens projecting to the ventral tegmental area (NAcLat→VTA) encoded hedonic feeding behaviors. In HFD mice, this behavior was reduced and uncoupled from neural activity. Optogenetic stimulation of the NAcLat→VTA pathway increased hedonic feeding in regular diet mice but not in HFD mice, though this behavior was restored when HFD mice returned to a regular diet. HFD mice exhibited reduced neurotensin expression and release in the NAcLat→VTA pathway. Furthermore, neurotensin knockout in the NAcLat and neurotensin receptor blockade in the VTA each abolished optogenetic-induced hedonic feeding behavior. Enhancing neurotensin signaling via overexpression normalized aspects of diet-induced obesity, including weight gain and hedonic feeding. Altogether, our findings identify a neural circuit mechanism linking the devaluation of hedonic foods with obesity.

Transcription profiling of nodose or dorsal root ganglion visceral sensory neurons from mice infected with N. brasiliensis and/or subjected to environmental stress to determine molecular signatures for post-infective visceral chemosensitivity associated with irritable bowel syndrome

Project description:Background & Aims: Visceral hypersensitivity, a hallmark of irritable bowel syndrome, is generally considered to be mechanosensitive in nature and mediated via spinal afferents. Both stress and inflammation are implicated in visceral hypersensitivity, but the underlying molecular mechanisms of visceral hypersensitivity are unknown. <br> Methods: Mice were infected with Nippostrongylus brasiliensis (Nb) larvae, exposed to environmental stress and the following separate studies performed 3-4 weeks later. Mesenteric afferent nerve activity was recorded in response to either ramp balloon distension (60 mmHg), or to an intraluminal perfusion of hydrochloric acid (50 mM), or to octreotide administration (2 µM). Intraperitoneal injection of cholera toxin B-488 identified neurons projecting to the abdominal viscera. Fluorescent neurons in dorsal root and nodose ganglia were isolated using laser-capture microdissection. RNA was hybridised to Affymetrix Mouse whole genome arrays for analysis to evaluate the effects of stress and infection. <br> Results: In mice previously infected with Nb, there was no change in intestinal afferent mechanosensitivity, but there was an increase in chemosensitive responses to intraluminal hydrochloric acid when compared to control animals. Gene expression profiles in vagal but not spinal visceral sensory neurons were significantly altered in stressed Nb-infected mice. Decreased afferent responses to somatostatin receptor 2 stimulation correlated with lower expression of vagal somatostatin receptor 2 in stressed Nb-infected mice, confirming a link between molecular data and functional sequelae. <br> Conclusions: Alterations in the intestinal brain-gut axis, in chemosensitivity but not mechanosensitivity, and through vagal rather than spinal pathways, are implicated in stress-induced post-inflammatory visceral hypersensitivity.

Apolipoprotein A-IV reduced metabolic inflammation in white adipose tissue by inhibiting IKK and JNK signaling in adipocytes

Project description:ApoA-IV produced by enterocytes as a major component of high-density lipoprotein plays a role in the satiation signal and also the transport of serum lipids. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of ApoA-IV on diet-induced obesity (DIO), metabolic inflammation and the underlying mechanisms. C57BL/6J ApoA-IV-/- (KO) and wildtype (WT) mice as well as KO mice stably transfected with ApoA-IV-green fluorescent protein (KO-A4-GFP) or solely GFP (KO-GFP) encoding adenoviruses were fed with standard 5% fat rodent chow (CD) or 60% high fat rodent chow (HFD) for 16 weeks.
