Background: Cholecystokinin (CCK)-1 receptor ligands control satiety. Normal intake behaviors in the receptor gene knock-out mice, however, raise questions for CCK-mediated satiety control. Results: CCK-1 receptor gene knock-out facilitated CCK-2 receptor signaling in the posterior paraventricular nucleus and switched receptor subtypes responsible for satiety control. Conclusion: Synergic interaction between CCK-1 and -2 receptors guarantees regular intakes. Significance: Compensatory receptor functions shed light on CCK-mediated satiety controlling mechanism. Cholecystokinin (CCK) and its receptor subtypes CCK-1 and -2 have diverse homeostatic functions. CCK-1 and -2 receptors share a common phosphatidylinositol signaling pathway, yet little is known regarding their possible functional coupling. We focused on CCK-mediated Ca2+ signaling in parvocellular paraventricular nucleus (PVN) cells, which control satiety and other autonomic functions. Analysis of mouse hypothalamic slices demonstrated that the general CCK receptor agonist CCK-8s (10 nm) triggered Ca2+ transients most significantly in the posterior subregion of the PVN (PaPo). This 10 nm CCK-8s-induced response was absent in CCK-1 receptor knock-out (CCK1R−/−) slices, showing that the response is mediated by CCK-1 receptors. CCK-8s concentrations higher than 30 nm triggered a Ca2+ rise similarly in wild-type and CCK1R−/− slices. The large CCK-8s (100 nm)-induced Ca2+ responses in CCK1R−/− slices were blocked by a CCK-2 receptor antagonist (CI-988), whereas those in wild-type slices required a mixture of CI-988 and lorglumide (a CCK-1 receptor antagonist) for complete antagonism. Therefore, CCK-1 and -2 receptors may function synergistically in single PaPo neurons and deletion of CCK-1 receptors may facilitate CCK-2 receptor signaling. This hypothesis was supported by results of real-time RT-PCR, immunofluorescence double labeling and Western blotting assays, which indicated CCK-2 receptor overexpression in PaPo neurons of CCK1R−/− mice. Furthermore, behavioral studies showed that intraperitoneal injections of lorglumide up-regulated food accesses in wild-type but not in CCK1R−/− mice, whereas CI-988 injections up-regulated food accesses in CCK1R−/− but not in wild-type mice. Compensatory CCK signaling via CCK-2 receptors in CCK1R−/− mice shed light on currently controversial satiety-controlling mechanisms.
