Project description:Neuropeptide Y (NPY) exerts powerful feeding related functions in the hypothalamus. However, NPY is also present in extra-hypothalamic nuclei, however their influence on energy homeostasis is unclear. Here we uncover a previously unknown feeding stimulatory pathway that is activated under conditions of stress in combination with calorie dense food with NPY neurons in the central amygdala (CeA) being responsible for an exacerbated response to a combined stress and high fat diet intervention. CeA NPY neuron specific Npy overexpression mimics the obese phenotype seen in a stress/HFD model, which is prevented by the selective ablation of Npy. Using food intake and energy expenditure (EE) as readout we demonstrate that selective activation of CeA NPY neurons results in increased food intake and a decrease in EE, which requires the presence of NPY. Mechanistically it is the diminished insulin signalling capacity on CeA NPY neurons under stress combined with HFD conditions that leads to the exaggerated development of obesity.

Project description:Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is an endogenous modulator of neuronal activity by regulating GABA and glutamate release. Previously, we found that estradiol modulates NPY expression in the hippocampal dentate gyrus. Here we investigated which estrogen receptor type activation is required for the NPY expression. Further, we determined effects of estrogen receptor activation on NPY release. Finally, we determined the contribution of estrogen-mediated remodeling of the GABAergic and glutamatergic network in relation to changes in coupling with NPY in ovariectomized rats. We found that activation of either estrogen receptor type increases NPY expression as well as NPY release in the dentate gyrus. We also found that compared to OVX rats, estrogen replacement increases the likeness of synergistic/antagonistic coupling between the NPY and GABAergic synapse genes while the glutamatergic synapse genes are less likely coupled with NPY. The data together suggest that estrogen plays a critical role in regulation of activity of the NPY system and its coupling to GABAergic and glutamatergic synapses in female rat dentate gyrus. Two-conditions (E = beta-estradiol replacement vs O = oil) experiment. Biological replicates: 4E, 4O.

Project description:Cortical GABAergic interneurons have been shown to fulfil important roles by inhibiting excitatory principal neurons. Recent transcriptomic studies have confirmed seminal discoveries that used anatomical and electrophysiological methods highlighting the existence of multiple different classes of GABAergic interneurons. However, individual studies have rarely addressed regional specific differences in gene expression in a given subclass of neuron. Using single-cell Patch-RNAseq, we characterised neuropeptide Y (NPY)-positive GABAergic interneurons in superficial layers of the primary auditory cortex and in distal layers of area CA3. We found that more than 300 genes are differentially expressed in NPY-positive neurons between these two brain regions. For example, the AMPA receptor auxiliary subunit Shisa9/CKAMP44 and the 5-HT2a receptor are significantly higher expressed in auditory NPY-positive neurons. These findings guided us to perform pharmacological experiments that revealed a role for 5-HT2a receptors in auditory NPY-positive neurons. Specifically, although the application of 5-HT led to a depolarisation of both auditory and CA3 NPY-positive neurons, the 5-HT2a receptor antagonist ketanserin only reversed membrane potential changes in auditory NPY-positive neurons. Our study demonstrates the potential of single-cell transcriptomic studies in guiding directed pharmacological experiments.
