Project description:The arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus (ARH) is one key structure controlling energy homeostasis. While it has been shown that the biogenic amines dopamine and serotonin modulate food intake controlling NPY/AgRP and/or POMC neurons in the ARH, the neural substrates that mediate the effect of noradrenaline (NA) on energy homeostasis remain elusive. By electrophysiological recordings and cell type-specific transcriptomics we show that the main neuronal populations in the ARH, NPY/AgRP and POMC neurons express a combination of excitatory and inhibitory adrenergic receptors (ARs). Surprisingly, NA had a clear differential effect on these neurons. Activation of NPY/AgRP neurons is mediated by _1A - and _- ARs, while POMC neurons are inhibited via _2A ARs. Collectively, our data indicate an orexigenic influence of NA on the ARH circuitry that controls energy balance

Project description:Over recent decades, research has established the hypothalamus, particularly the arcuate nucleus, as a central hub for the homeostatic control of energy balance. The hypothalamic arcuate nucleus is a pivotal regulator of energy balance, containing anorexic proopiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons and orexigenic agouti-related peptide (AgRP) neurons, which exert opposing effects on energy homeostasis. However, the molecular identity of “non-AgRP, non-POMC” neurons remains unclear. We identified a distinct neuronal subtype characterized by the absence of Agrp and Pomc expressions, while exhibiting robust Crabp1 expression.

Project description:Despite their opposing actions on food intake, POMC and NPY/AgRP neurons in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus (ARH) are derived from the same progenitors that give rise to ARH neurons. However, the mechanism whereby common neuronal precursors subsequently adopt either the anorexigenic (POMC) or the orexigenic (NPY/AgRP) identity remains elusive.We hypothesize that POMC and NPY/AgRP cell fates are specified and maintained by distinct intrinsic factors. In search of them, we profiled the transcriptomes of developing POMC and NPY/AgRP neurons in E15.5 mice embryos. Moreover, cell-type-specific transcriptomic analyses revealed transcription regulators that are selectively enriched in either population, but whose developmental functions are unknown in these neurons.Among them, we found the expression of the PR domain-containing factor 12 (Prdm12) was enriched in POMC neurons but absent in NPY/AgRP neurons. To study the role of Prdm12 in vivo, we developed and characterized a floxed Prdm12 allele. Selective ablation of Prdm12 in embryonic POMC neurons led to significantly reduced Pomc expression as well as early-onset obesity in mice of either sex that recapitulates symptoms of human POMC deficiency. Interestingly, however, specific deletion of Prdm12 in adult POMC neurons showed that it is no longer required for Pomc expression nor energy balance. Collectively, these findings establish a critical role for Prdm12 in the anorexigenic neuron identity and suggest that it acts developmentally to program body weight homeostasis. Finally, the combination of cell-type-specific genomic and genetic analyses provides a means to dissect cellular and functional diversity in the hypothalamus whose neurodevelopment remains poorly studied.

Project description:Dopamine acts on neurons in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus (ARC) which control homeostatic feeding responses. Here we demonstrate a differential enrichment of Drd1 expression in food intake-promoting AgRP/NPY neurons and a large proportion of Drd2-expressing anorexigenic POMC neurons. This translates into a predominant activation of AgRP/NPY neurons upon dopamine stimulation and a larger proportion of dopamine-inhibited POMC neurons. Employing intersectional targeting of Drd2-expressing POMC neurons, we reveal, that dopamine-mediated POMC neuron inhibition is Drd2-dependent and that POMCDrd2+ neurons exhibit differential expression of neuropeptide signaling mediators, which manifests in enhanced somatostatin responsiveness of these neurons compared to the global POMC neuron population. Retrograde pseudorabies mapping reveals predominant synaptic input onto these cells from within the ARC as well as characterized dopaminergic cell groups within the hypothalamus and subthalamic areas. Finally, selective chemogenetic activation of POMCDrd2+ neurons uncovers their ability to acutely suppress feeding and to preserve body temperature. Collectively, the present study provides the molecular and functional characterization of POMCDrd2+ neurons and aids to our understanding of dopamine-dependent control of homeostatic energy regulatory neurocircuits.

Project description:Pre- and postnatal calorie restriction is associated with postnatal growth restriction, reduced circulating leptin concentrations and perturbed energy balance. Hypothalamic regulation of energy balance demonstrates enhanced orexigenic (NPY, AgRP) and diminished anorexigenic (POMC, CART) neuropeptide expression (PN21) setting the stage for subsequent development of obesity. Leptin replenishment during the early postnatal period (PN2-PN8) led to reversing the hypothalamic orexigenic:anorexigenic neuropeptide ratio at PN21 by only reducing the orexigenic (NPY, AgRP) without affecting the anorexigenic (POMC, CART) neuropeptide expression. This hypothalamic effect was mediated via enhanced leptin receptor (ObRb) signaling that involved increased pSTAT3 but reduced PTP1B. This was further confirmed by an increase in body weight at PN21 in response to intracerebroventricular administration of antisense ObRb oligonucleotides (PN2-PN8). The change in the hypothalamic neuropeptide balance in response to leptin administration caused increased oxygen consumption, carbon dioxide production and physical activity which resulted in increased milk intake (PN14) with no change in body weight. This is in contrast to the reduction in milk intake with no effect on energy expenditure and physical activity observed in controls. We conclude that pre- and postnatal calorie restriction perturbs hypothalamic neuropeptide regulation of energy balance setting the stage for hyperphagia and reduced energy expenditure, hallmarks of obesity. Leptin in turn reverses this phenotype by increasing hypothalamic ObRb signaling (sensitivity) and affecting only the orexigenic arm of the neuropeptide balance.

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.

Project description:We show that leptin regulates appetite and body weight via PNOC neurons, and that loss of leptin receptor expression in PNOC-expressing neurons in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus (ARC) causes hyperphagia and obesity. Lepr inactivation in PNOC neurons increases Npy expression in a subset of hypothalamic PNOC neurons that do not express Agrp and selective chemogenetic activation of PNOC/NPY neurons promotes feeding to the same extent as activating all PNOCARC neurons and overexpression of Npy in PNOCARC neurons promotes hyperphagia and obesity. Thus, we introduce PNOC/NPYARC neurons as an additional critical mediator of leptin action and a promising target for obesity therapeutics.

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.
