Upregulation of Xbp1 in NPY/AgRP neurons reverses diet-induced obesity and ameliorates leptin and insulin resistance
The molecular mechanisms underlying neuronal leptin and insulin resistance in obesity and diabetes are not fully understood. In this study, we show that induction of the unfolded protein response transcription factor, spliced X-box binding protein 1 (Xbp1s), in Agouti-Related Peptide (AgRP) neurons alone, is sufficient to not only protect against but also significantly reverse diet-induced obesity (DIO) as well as improve leptin and insulin sensitivity, despite activation of endoplasmic reticulum stress. We also demonstrate that constitutive expression of Xbp1s in AgRP neurons contributes to improved insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance. Together, our results identify critical molecular mechanisms linking ER stress in arcuate AgRP neurons to acute leptin and insulin resistance as well as liver glucose metabolism in DIO and diabetes.
期刊介绍:
The aim of Neuropeptides is the rapid publication of original research and review articles, dealing with the structure, distribution, actions and functions of peptides in the central and peripheral nervous systems. The explosion of research activity in this field has led to the identification of numerous naturally occurring endogenous peptides which act as neurotransmitters, neuromodulators, or trophic factors, to mediate nervous system functions. Increasing numbers of non-peptide ligands of neuropeptide receptors have been developed, which act as agonists or antagonists in peptidergic systems.
The journal provides a unique opportunity of integrating the many disciplines involved in all neuropeptide research. The journal publishes articles on all aspects of the neuropeptide field, with particular emphasis on gene regulation of peptide expression, peptide receptor subtypes, transgenic and knockout mice with mutations in genes for neuropeptides and peptide receptors, neuroanatomy, physiology, behaviour, neurotrophic factors, preclinical drug evaluation, clinical studies, and clinical trials.
