Prohormone convertase 1/3 deficiency causes obesity due to impaired proinsulin processing
Defective insulin processing is associated with obesity and diabetes. Prohormone convertase 1/3 (PC1/3) is an endopeptidase required for the processing of neurotransmitters and hormones. PC1/3 deficiency and genome-wide association studies relate PC1/3 with early onset obesity. Here, we find that deletion of PC1/3 in obesity-related neuronal cells expressing proopiomelanocortin mildly and transiently change body weight and fail to produce a phenotype when targeted to Agouti-related peptide- or nestin-expressing tissues. In contrast, pancreatic ÎČ cell-specific PC1/3 ablation induces hyperphagia with consecutive obesity despite uncontrolled diabetes with glucosuria. Obesity develops not due to impaired pro-islet amyloid polypeptide processing but due to impaired insulin maturation. Proinsulin crosses the blood-brain-barrier but does not induce central satiety. Accordingly, insulin therapy prevents hyperphagia. Further, islet PC1/3 expression levels negatively correlate with body mass index in humans. In this work, we show that impaired PC1/3-mediated proinsulin processing, as observed in human prediabetes, promotes hyperphagic obesity
CSF1R inhibition with PLX5622 affects multiple immune cell compartments and induces tissue-specific metabolic effects in lean mice
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS
Colony stimulating factor 1 (CSF1) promotes the proliferation, differentiation and survival of macrophages, which have been implicated in both beneficial and detrimental effects on glucose metabolism. However, the physiological role of CSF1 signalling in glucose homeostasis and the potential therapeutic implications of modulating this pathway are not known. We aimed to study the composition of tissue macrophages (and other immune cells) following CSF1 receptor (CSF1R) inhibition and elucidate the metabolic consequences of CSF1R inhibition.
METHODS
We assessed immune cell populations in various organs by flow cytometry, and tissue-specific metabolic effects by hyperinsulinaemic-euglycaemic clamps and insulin secretion assays in mice fed a chow diet containing PLX5622 (a CSF1R inhibitor) or a control diet.
RESULTS
CSF1R inhibition depleted macrophages in multiple tissues while simultaneously increasing eosinophils and group 2 innate lymphoid cells. These immunological changes were consistent across different organs and were sex independent and reversible after cessation of the PLX5622. CSF1R inhibition improved hepatic insulin sensitivity but concomitantly impaired insulin secretion. In healthy islets, we found a high frequency of IL-1ÎČ islet macrophages. Their depletion by CSF1R inhibition led to downregulation of macrophage-related pathways and mediators of cytokine activity, including Nlrp3, suggesting IL-1ÎČ as a candidate insulin secretagogue. Partial restoration of physiological insulin secretion was achieved by injecting recombinant IL-1ÎČ prior to glucose stimulation in mice lacking macrophages.
CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION
Macrophages and macrophage-derived factors, such as IL-1ÎČ, play an important role in physiological insulin secretion. A better understanding of the tissue-specific effects of CSF1R inhibition on immune cells and glucose homeostasis is crucial for the development of targeted immune-modulatory treatments in metabolic disease.

Inhibition of IL-1beta improves Glycaemia in a Mouse Model for Gestational Diabetes
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is one of the most common diseases associated with pregnancy, however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Based on the well documented role of inflammation in type 2 diabetes, the aim was to investigate the role of inflammation in GDM. We established a mouse model for GDM on the basis of its two major risk factors, obesity and aging. In these GDM mice, we observed increased Interleukin-1ÎČ (IL-1ÎČ) expression in the uterus and the placenta along with elevated circulating IL-1ÎČ concentrations compared to normoglycemic pregnant mice. Treatment with an anti-IL-1ÎČ antibody improved glucose-tolerance of GDM mice without apparent deleterious effects for the fetus. Finally, IL-1ÎČ antagonism showed a tendency for reduced plasma corticosterone concentrations, possibly explaining the metabolic improvement. We conclude that IL-1ÎČ is a causal driver of impaired glucose tolerance in GDM

IL-1beta in the integration of nutrient-derived sensory information in health and obesity
Our understanding of the mechanisms underlying the proper regulation of blood glucose levels remains incomplete. While IL-1ÎČ has been established as an important guardian of glucose homeostasis in mice, the precise mechanism of its stimulatory effect on insulin release continues to be a mystery. Here, we aim to further explore this insulin-secretagogue effect of IL-1ÎČ in both mice and humans. We especially aim to delineate IL-1ÎČâs effects on specifically the cephalic phase of insulin release, which describes the initial vagally-mediated spike in insulin levels in response to the sight, smell and taste of food, as well as the proprioceptive and tactile stimulation by food.
Establishing a mouse model of cephalic phase insulin release, we found that it was mediated by IL-1ÎČ originating from long-lived CX3CR1+ myeloid cells. Furthermore, IL-1ÎČ regulated the activity of neurons of the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus in response to cephalic stimulation and activated the vagus nerve to induce insulin secretion. Notably, cephalic phase insulin release was impaired in obesity, in both mice and humans, and in mice this was due to dysregulated IL-1ÎČ signaling. Next, confirming prior reports in rodents, we found that IL-1ÎČ also stimulated insulin secretion in human subjects. Furthermore, it significantly contributed to the pathophysiology of postprandial hypoglycemia, a disabling complication of bariatric surgery. In summary, we describe a regulatory role for IL-1ÎČ in the integration of nutrient-derived sensory information and subsequent neuronally-mediated insulin secretion.
Fluid Overload Is Associated With Late Poor Outcomes in Neonates Following Cardiac Surgery*
Hyperosmolality, osmotic stimulus or stress results in vasopressin release. Animal and human in vitro studies have shown that inflammatory parameters such as interleukin-8 (IL-8) and tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) increase in parallel in the central nervous system and bronchial, corneal or intestinal epithelial cell lines in response to osmotic stimulus. Whether osmotic stimulus directly causes a systemic inflammatory response in humans is unknown. We therefore investigated the influence of osmotic stimulus on circulatory markers of systemic inflammation in healthy volunteers. In this prospective cohort study, 44 healthy volunteers underwent a standardized test protocol with an osmotic stimulus leading into the hyperosmotic/hypernatremic range (serum sodium â„150mmol/l) by hypertonic-saline infusion. Copeptin (a marker indicating vasopressin activity), serum sodium and osmolality, plasma IL-8 and TNF-α were measured at baseline and directly after osmotic stimulus. Median (range) serum sodium increased from 141 mmol/l (136, 147) to 151 mmol/l (145, 154) (p-value <0.01), serum osmolality increased from 295 mmol/l (281, 306) to 315 mmol/l (304, 325) (p-value <0.01). Median (range) copeptin increased from 4.3 pg/l (1.1, 21.4) to 28.8 pg/l (19.9, 43.4) (p-value <0.01). Median (range) IL-8 levels showed a trend to decrease from 0.79 pg/ml (0.37, 1.6) to 0.7 pg/ml (0.4, 1.9) (p-value 0.09) and TNF-α levels decreased from 0.53 pg/ml (0.11, 1.1) to 0.45 pg/ml (0.12, 0.97) (p-value 0.036). Contrary to data obtained in vitro, circulating proinflammatory cytokines tend to or decrease in human plasma after osmotic stimulus. Osmotic stress does not to stimulate circulating markers of systemic inflammation
Distinct Transcriptional Responses across Tissue-Resident Macrophages to Short-Term and Long-Term Metabolic Challenge
The innate immune system safeguards the organism from both pathogenic and environmental stressors. Also, physiologic levels of nutrients affect organismal and intra-cellular metabolism and challenge the immune system. In the long term, over-nutrition leads to low-grade systemic inflammation. Here, we investigate tissue-resident components of the innate immune system (macrophages) and their response to short- and long-term nutritional challenges. We analyze the transcriptomes of six tissue-resident macrophage populations upon acute feeding and identify adipose tissue macrophages and the IL-1 pathway as early sensors of metabolic changes. Furthermore, by comparing functional responses between macrophage subtypes, we propose a regulatory, anti-inflammatory role of heat shock proteins of the HSP70 family in response to long- and short-term metabolic challenges. Our data provide a resource for assessing the impact of nutrition and over-nutrition on the spectrum of macrophages across tissues with a potential for identification of systemic responses.ISSN:2666-3864ISSN:2211-124
The Cephalic Phase of Insulin Release is Modulated by Il-1ÎČ
The initial cephalic phase of insulin secretion is mediated through the vagus nerve and is not due to glycemic stimulation of pancreatic ÎČ-cells. Recently, IL-1ÎČ was shown to stimulate postprandial insulin secretion. Here, we describe that this incretin-like effect of IL-1ÎČ involves neuronal transmission. Further we found that cephalic phase insulin release was mediated by IL-1ÎČ originating from long-lived CX3CR1+ myeloid cells. Moreover, IL-1ÎČ activated the vagus nerve to induce insulin secretion and regulated the activity of neurons of the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus in response to cephalic stimulation. Notably, cephalic phase insulin release was impaired in obesity, in both mice and humans, and in mice this was due to dysregulated IL-1ÎČ signaling. Our findings attribute a regulatory role to IL-1ÎČ in the integration of nutrient-derived sensory information, subsequent neuronally-mediated insulin secretion and the dysregulation of autonomic cephalic phase responses in obesity
