BackgroundCathepsin L and some other cathepsins have been implicated in the development of obesity in humans and mice. The functional inactivation of the proteases reduces fat accumulation during mammalian adipocyte differentiation. However, beyond degrading extracellular matrix protein fibronectin, the molecular mechanisms by which cathepsins control fat accumulation remain unclear. We now provide evidence fromCaenorhabditis elegansand mouse models to suggest a conserved regulatory circuit in which peripheral cathepsin L inhibition lowers fat accumulation through promoting central serotonin synthesis.ResultsWe established aC. elegansmodel of fat accumulation using dietary supplementation with glucose and palmitic acid. We found that nutrient supplementation elevated fat storage inC. elegans, and along with worm fat accumulation, an increase in the expression ofcpl-1was detected using real-time PCR and western blot. The functional inactivation ofcpl-1reduced fat storage inC. elegansthrough activating serotonin signaling. Further, knockdown ofcpl-1in the intestine and hypodermis promoted serotonin synthesis in worm ADF neurons and induced body fat loss inC. elegansvia central serotonin signaling. We found a similar regulatory circuit in high-fat diet-fed mice. Cathepsin L knockout promoted fat loss and central serotonin synthesis. Intraperitoneal injection of the cathepsin L inhibitor CLIK195 similarly reduced body weight gain and white adipose tissue (WAT) adipogenesis, while elevating brain serotonin level and WAT lipolysis and fatty acid β-oxidation. These effects of inhibiting cathepsin L were abolished by intracranial injection of p-chlorophenylalanine, inhibitor of a rate-limiting enzyme for serotonin synthesis.ConclusionThis study reveals a previously undescribed molecular mechanism by which peripheral CPL-1/cathepsin L inhibition induces fat loss inC. elegansand mice through promoting central serotonin signaling.
