Prostaglandin (PG) E-2, a bioactive lipid produced in the brains of various mammals, decreases food intake after central administration. We examined which of four distinct subtypes of PGE(2) receptors (EP1-EP4) mediated the anorexigenic action of PGE(2) using highly selective ligands. PGE(2) at a dose of 0.1-10 nmol/mouse decreased food intake after intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) administration in a dose-dependent manner in fasted mice. A centrally administered EP4 agonist, ONO-AE1-329 at a dose of 1-10 nmol/mouse mimicked the anorexigenic action by PGE(2). The anorexigenic action of PGE(2) or EP4 agonist was ameliorated by EP4 antagonist ONO-AE3-208 at a dose of 10 nmol/mouse. Thus, activation of PGE(2)-EP4 signaling in the central nervous system suppresses food intake. The EP4 agonist at a dose of 10 nmol/mouse delayed gastric emptying and elevated blood glucose.
