Project description:The purpose of this study is to characterize the ontogenetic transcriptional programs that specify the identity and functioning of POMC neurons during early postnatal stage and adulthood. We performed Translating Ribosome Affinity Purification followed by RNA sequencing technology (Trap-seq) using Pomc-CreERT;Rosa26-eGFPL10a transgenic mice where POMC neurons are labeled with eGFPL10a tag with tamoxifen administration. GFP-conjugated beads were used to pull-down POMC neurons from hypothalamic extracts at early postnatal days (P12) and adulthood(P60). Both the pull-down mRNA samples and the resultant supernatant mRNA samples were subjected to RNA sequencing process. Gene enrichment analysis identified 1143 and 1047 genes are highly enriched (P<0.05) in Pomc- eGFPL10a at P12 and P60 Trap-seq materials respectively, from which 653 genes are overlapped expressed in both datasets. Gene ontology analysis showed that these common expressed genes are associated with the establishment and maintenance of neuron structure and basic neuronal functions. The ontology annotations on the uniquely expressed gene from P12 and P60 are dramatically different from each other. The functions of P12 uniquely enriched genes emphasizing on the basic cellular metabolism, cellular modeling and biochemical changes, whereas, the P60 enriched genes are related to the maturation of POMC neurons such neurotransmitter development and POMC specific function establishment including the response to nutrient, and the construction of feeding behavioral circuit.

Project description:Hypothalamic neuronal populations are central regulators of energy homeostasis and reproductive function. However, the ontogeny of these critical hypothalamic neuronal populations is largely unknown. Here, we reveal novel cellular fates of the hypothalamic Pomc-expressing precursors by combining mouse genetics with a conditional viral ribosome-tagging approach to phenotype neurons. Our results show that the Pomc-expressing precursors differentiate into discrete neuronal subpopulations that mediate not only energy balance (POMC and AgRP) but also reproductive physiology (Kisspeptin). Punches containing the mediobasal hypothalamus of Pomc-Cre:RiboTag mice and Pomc-Cre mice injected with the RiboTag viral vector (AAV-DIO-RiboTag) were homogenized and incubated with anti-hemagglutin (HA) antibodies and protein A/G magnetic beads to isolate the polysome-associated mRNAS in the Pomc-derived lineage and in adult POMC neurons, respectively. To identify differentially expressed transcripts, RNA from the immunoprecipitates was extracted, amplified, labelled and hybridized to MouseRef-8 v2 expression beadchips.

Project description:We developed a technique for generating hypothalamic neurons from human pluripotent stem cells. Here, as proof-of-principle, we examine the use of these cells in modeling of a monogenic form of severe obesity: PCSK1 deficiency. We generated PCSK1 (PC1/3)-deficient human embryonic stem cell (hESC) lines using both shRNA and CRISPR-Cas9, and investigated pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) processing using hESC-differentiated hypothalamic neurons.

Project description:Maternal unbalanced nutritional habits during embryo development and perinatal stages perturb hypothalamic neuronal programming of the offspring, thus increasing “diabesity” risk. Here we report that exposure to high-fat diet during gestation and lactation did not interfere with progeny’s hypothalamic POMC neuron specification, but significantly impaired their spatial distribution and axonal extension to target areas. Importantly, we established POMC neuron-specific translatome signatures accounting for neuronal aberrant development and axonal growth. These anatomical and molecular alterations caused metabolic dysfunction in early-life and adulthood. Our study provides fundamental insights on the molecular mechanisms underlying POMC neuron malprogramming in obesogenic contexts.

Project description:The activity of the endoribonuclease Dicer is crucial to produce the mature form of most microRNAs (miRNAs). Recent studies indicate that lack of miRNAs in different neuronal types results in a range of anatomical and behavioural phenotypes. In the present study we aimed to investigate the developmental and metabolic consequences of miRNA ablation in hypothalamic POMC neurons studying mice with a conditional deletion of Dicer in this population of neurons (POMCDicerKO). These mice exhibited a progressive obese phenotype characterized by hyperphagia, increased adiposity, hyperleptinemia, defective glucose metabolism and alterations in the pituitary-adrenal axis. The development of the obese phenotype was paralleled by a POMC neuron degenerative process that was complete by 6 weeks of age. Furthermore, immunohistochemistry and gene expression studies in control C57Bl/6 adult mice showed that Dicer was expressed in relevant hypothalamic areas and neurons implicated in energy balance, and that its expression was regulated by nutrient availability. Collectively, our results highlight a crucial role for miRNAs in POMC neuron survival and the consequent development of neurodegenerative obesity. Total RNA was extracted from hypothalamic microdissections of 2-week old control and POMCDicerKO mice using the RNeasy micro spin columns (Qiagen, Venlo, The Netherlands). Ten micrograms of total RNA were converted into cRNA, biotinylated, fragmented, and hybridized to GeneChip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA). Six microarrays were hybridized with three independent samples from control and POMCDicerKO mice.

Project description:Classical activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) is exerted by stimulation of pituitary POMC gene transcription and ACTH release by the hypothalamic hormone CRH. In parallel, inflammatory cytokines such as IL6 and LIF also stimulate ACTH release and POMC transcription through the JAK/STAT pathway. In recent years, a particular interest in the role of the EGF pathway for POMC activation was sparked by the identification of causative mutations in the USP8 gene that have been implicated in formation of pituitary corticotrope adenomas that are the hallmark of Cushing’s disease. These mutations were associated with persistent upregulation of the EGF/EGFR pathway and its putative role in ACTH hypersecretion. In the present work, we reassessed the signalling pathways that are activated in response to ACTH in pituitary corticotrope cells using the AtT-20 cell model. We confirmed activation of the MAP kinase pathway by EGF but also show activation of the AKT/mTOR and JAK/STAT pathways. Whereas activation of all three pathways appears essential for stimulation of cell proliferation, only the JAK/STAT pathway and more specifically STAT3, enhances POMC gene transcription. This action is mapped to a single STAT binding element of the POMC promoter in contrast to activation by the other STAT-activating cytokines LIF and IL6. Further, EGF signalling is specifically enhanced by STAT3 but not STAT1 in contrast to LIF-dependent activation. All together, the data identified a unique STAT3-dependent target on the POMC promoter that mediates EGF activation of POMC gene transcription.

Project description:Liver mitochondria play a central role in metabolic adaptations to changing nutritional states, yet their dynamic regulation upon anticipated changes in energy state has remained unaddressed. Here, we show that sensory food perception rapidly induces mitochondrial fission in the liver via protein kinase B/AKT-dependent phosphorylation of serine 131 of the Mitochondrial fission factor (MFFS131), and this response is mediated via activation of hypothalamic Pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC)-expressing neurons. A non-phosphorylatable MFFS131G knock-in mutation abrogates AKT-induced mitochondrial fragmentation in vitro. In vivo, MFFS131G knock-in mice display altered liver mitochondrial dynamics upon food perception and refeeding and impaired insulin stimulated suppression of gluconeogenesis. Collectively, we reveal a critical role for rapid activation of a hypothalamic/liver axis to adapt mitochondrial function to anticipated changes of nutritional state in control of hepatic glucose metabolism. The repository contains two LC-MS/MS datasets aiming for the detection of phosphorylated peptides. a) POMC neuron activation and b) time course experiment of fasted, refed and caged food. We assumed that due to the short time (30 min max) that the total protein level remain unchanged.
