Diet-induced obesity induces endoplasmic reticulum stress and insulin resistance in the amygdala of rats

FAPESP - FUNDAÇÃO DE AMPARO À PESQUISA DO ESTADO DE SÃO PAULOInsulin acts in the hypothalamus, decreasing food intake (FI) by the IR/PI3K/Akt pathway. This pathway is impaired in obese animals and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and low-grade inflammation are possible mechanisms involved in this impairment. Here, we highlighted the amygdala as an important brain region for FI regulation in response to insulin. This regulation was dependent on PI3K/AKT pathway similar to the hypothalamus. Insulin was able to decrease neuropeptide Y (NPY) and increase oxytocin mRNA levels in the amygdala via PI3K, which may contribute to hypophagia. Additionally, obese rats did not reduce FI in response to insulin and AKT phosphorylation was decreased in the amygdala, suggesting insulin resistance. Insulin resistance was associated with ER stress and low-grade inflammation in this brain region. The inhibition of ER stress with PBA reverses insulin action/signaling, decreases NPY and increases oxytocin mRNA levels in the amygdala from obese rats, suggesting that ER stress is probably one of the mechanisms that induce insulin resistance in the amygdala. © 2013 The Authors.Insulin acts in the hypothalamus, decreasing food intake (FI) by the IR/PI3K/Akt pathway.

Hypothalamic S1p/s1pr1 axis controls energy homeostasis

Sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1PR1) is a G-protein-coupled receptor for sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) that has a role in many physiological and pathophysiological processes. Here we show that the S1P/S1PR1 signalling pathway in hypothalamic neurons regulates energy homeostasis in rodents. We demonstrate that S1PR1 protein is highly enriched in hypothalamic POMC neurons of rats. Intracerebroventricular injections of the bioactive lipid, S1P, reduce food consumption and increase rat energy expenditure through persistent activation of STAT3 and the melanocortin system. Similarly, the selective disruption of hypothalamic S1PR1 increases food intake and reduces the respiratory exchange ratio. We further show that STAT3 controls S1PR1 expression in neurons via a positive feedback mechanism. Interestingly, several models of obesity and cancer anorexia display an imbalance of hypothalamic S1P/S1PR1/STAT3 axis, whereas pharmacological intervention ameliorates these phenotypes. Taken together, our data demonstrate that the neuronal S1P/S1PR1/STAT3 signalling axis plays a critical role in the control of energy homeostasis in rats.Sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1PR1) is a G-protein-coupled receptor for sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) that has a role in many physiological and pathophysiological processes.

Analysis Of The Physical Activity Effects And Measurement Of Pro-inflammatory Cytokines In Irradiated Lungs In Rats [análise Dos Efeitos Da Atividade Física E Mensuração De Citocinas Pró-inflamatórias Em Pulmões Irradiados Em Ratos]

PURPOSE: To study if the pre-radiotherapy physical activity has radio-protective elements, by measuring the radio-induced activation of pro-inflammatory cytokines as interleukin-6 (il-6), transforming growth factor -β (tgf -β), tumor necrosis factor -α (tnf-α) and protein beta kinase β (ikkβ), through western blotting analysis. METHODS: A randomized study with 28 Wistar hannover rats, males, with a mean age of 90 days and weighing about 200 grams. The animals were divided into three groups: (GI, GII and GIII). GIII group were submitted to swimming for eight weeks (zero load, three times a week, about 30 minutes). Then, the groups (except the control group) were submitted to irradiation by cobalt therapy, single dose of 3.5 gray in the whole body. All animals were sacrificed by overdose of pentobarbital, according to the time for analysis of cytokines, and then a fragment of the lower lobe of the right lung went to western blotting analysis. RESULTS: The cytokines IKK β, TNF-α and IL-6 induced by radiation in the lung were lower in the exercised animals. However, exercise did not alter the radiation-induced increase in tgf-β. CONCLUSION: The results show a lower response in relation to inflammatory cytokines in the group that practiced the exercise pre-radiotherapy, showing that exercise can protect tissues from tissue damage due to irradiation.273223230Liao, Z., Cox, J.D., Komaki, R., Radiochemotherapy of esofaphageal cancer (2007) J Thorac Oncol, 2 (6), pp. 553-568D'amico, T.A., Outcomes after surgery for esophageal cancer (2007) Gastrointest Cancer Res, 1 (5), pp. 188-196Tercioti Jr., V., Lopes, L.R., Coelho, N.J.D., Carvalheira, J.B., Andreollo, N.A., Local effectiveness and complications of neoadjuvant therapy in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma: Radiotherapy versus chemoradiotherapy (2011) Rev Col Bras Cir, 38 (4), pp. 227-234Miyata, H., Yamasaki, M., Takiguchi, S., Nakajima, K., Fujiwara, Y., Nishida, T., Mori, M., Doki, Y., Salvage esophagectomy after definitive chemoradiotherapy for thoracic esophageal cancer (2009) J Surg Oncol, 100, pp. 442-446Asakura, H., Hashimoto, T., Zenda, S., Harada, H., Hirakawa, K., Mizumoto, M., Furutani, K., Nishimura, T., Analysis of dose-volume histogram parameters for radiation pneumonitis after definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy for esophageal cancer (2010) Radiother Oncol, 95, pp. 240-244Yu, H.M., Liu, Y.F., Cheng, Y.F., Hu, L.K., Hou, M., Effects of rhubarb extract on radiation induced lung toxicity via decreasing transforming growth factor-beta-1 and interleukin-6 in lung cancer patients treated with radiotherapy (2008) Lung Cancer, 59, pp. 219-226Sakai, M., Iwakawa, M., Iwakura, Y., Ohta, T., Tsujii, H., Imai, T., CD44 and bak expression in IL-6 or TNF-alpha gene knockout mice after whole lung irradiation (2008) J Radiat Res, 49, pp. 409-416Novakova-Jiresova, A., Luijk, P.V., Goor, H.V., Kampinga, H.H., Coppes, R.P., Pulmonary radiation injury: Identification of risk factors associated with regional hypersensitivity (2005) Cancer Res, 65, pp. 3568-3576Bao, P., Gao, W., Li, S., Zhang, L., Qu, S., Wu, C., Qi, H., Effect of pretreatment with high-dose ulinastatin in preventing radiation-induced pulmonary injury in rats (2009) Eur J Pharmacol, 603, pp. 114-119Schmid, J.A., Birbach, A., IkB kinase β (Ikkβ/Ikk2/IkBkB)- a key molecule in signaling to the transcription factor NF-kB (2008) Cytokine Growth Factor Rev, 19, pp. 157-165Mussi, R.K., Camargo, E.A., Ferreira, T., de Moraes, C., Delbin, M.A., Toro, I.F., Brancher, S., Antunes, E., Exercise training reduces pulmonary ischaemia-reperfusion-induced inflammatory responses (2008) Eur Respir J, 31 (3), pp. 645-649Gannon, G.A., Rhind, S.G., Suzui, M., Shek, P.N., Shephard, R.J., Circulating levels of peripheral blood leucocytes and cytokines following competitive cycling (1997) Can J Appl Physiol, 22, pp. 133-147Nieman, D.C., Special feature for the Olympics: Exercise effects on systemic immunity (2000) Immunol Cell Biol, 78, pp. 496-501Triboulet, J.P., Mariette, C., Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma stage III: State of surgery after radiochemotherapy (2006) Cancer Radiother, 10, pp. 456-461Hermann, R.M., Horstmann, O., Haller, F., Perske, C., Christiansen, H., Hille, A., Schimidberger, H., Füzesi, L., Histomorphological tumor regression grading esophageal carcinoma after neoadjuvante radiochemotherapy: With score to use?

Exercise Training Decreases Mitogen-activated Protein Kinase Phosphatase-3 Expression And Suppresses Hepatic Gluconeogenesis In Obese Mice

Insulin plays an important role in the control of hepatic glucose production. Insulin resistant states are commonly associated with excessive hepatic glucose production, which contributes to both fasting hyperglycaemia and exaggerated postprandial hyperglycaemia. In this regard, increased activity of phosphatases may contribute to the dysregulation of gluconeogenesis. Mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatase-3 (MKP-3) is a key protein involved in the control of gluconeogenesis. MKP-3-mediated dephosphorylation activates FoxO1 (a member of the forkhead family of transcription factors) and subsequently promotes its nuclear translocation and binding to the promoters of gluconeogenic genes such as phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) and glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase). In this study, we investigated the effects of exercise training on the expression of MKP-3 and its interaction with FoxO1 in the livers of obese animals. We found that exercised obese mice had a lower expression of MKP-3 and FoxO1/MKP-3 association in the liver. Further, the exercise training decreased FoxO1 phosphorylation and protein levels of Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha (PGC-1α) and gluconeogenic enzymes (PEPCK and G6Pase). These molecular results were accompanied by physiological changes, including increased insulin sensitivity and reduced hyperglycaemia, which were not caused by reductions in total body mass. Similar results were also observed with oligonucleotide antisense (ASO) treatment. However, our results showed that only exercise training could reduce an obesity-induced increase in HNF-4α protein levels while ASO treatment alone had no effect. These findings could explain, at least in part, why additive effects of exercise training treatment and ASO treatment were not observed. Finally, the suppressive effects of exercise training on MKP-3 protein levels appear to be related, at least in part, to the reduced phosphorylation of Extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK) in the livers of obese mice. © 2014 The Authors.
