项目摘要

Our long-range goal is to understand signal transduction pathways underlying energy homeostasis and how their alterations contribute to obesity and metabolic diseases. The leptin signaling pathway is considered to be the most critical anorexigenic pathway in the control of food intake and body weight. Moreover, this pathway has been demonstrated to improve glucose homeostasis independently of its effects on body weight and food intake. However, obese patients, and type 2 diabetic patients who are commonly obese, response poorly to exogenous leptin treatment, and are thus considered to be leptin resistant. Therefore, elucidating the underlying mechanisms of leptin resistance is of great medical importance. To date, whether peripheral tissues produce endocrine factors to attenuate leptin signaling remains to be explored. We identified a previously uncharacterized, adipose tissue-selectively expressed 8 kD adipokine we called Batotin. We found that this adipokine binds to leptin receptor and suppresses leptin signaling. Remarkably, transgenic mice expressing Batotin in adipose tissue are hyperphagia and morbidly obese, and have elevated blood glucose level independent of obesity. These results lead to a model that secreted Batotin from peripheral tissue acts as an orexigenic peptide in an endocrine manner to suppress leptin signaling. In Aim 1, we will investigate in detail how Batotin suppresses leptin signaling. In Aim 2, we will use gain-of-function mouse models to investigate the function and mechanism of Batotin. In Aim 3, we will study loss-of-function mouse models.

我们的长期目标是了解能量稳态的信号转导途径，以及它们的改变如何导致肥胖和代谢疾病。瘦素信号通路被认为是控制食物摄入和体重的最关键的缺氧通路。此外，该途径已被证明可以改善葡萄糖稳态，而不依赖于其对体重和食物摄入的影响。然而，肥胖患者和常见肥胖的2型糖尿病患者对外源性瘦素治疗反应较差，因此被认为是瘦素抵抗。因此，阐明瘦素抵抗的潜在机制具有重要的医学意义。迄今为止，外周组织是否产生内分泌因子来减弱瘦素信号仍有待探索。我们发现了一种以前未被表征的脂肪组织选择性表达的8kd脂肪因子，我们称之为Batotin。我们发现这种脂肪因子与瘦素受体结合并抑制瘦素信号传导。值得注意的是，在脂肪组织中表达Batotin的转基因小鼠嗜食和病态肥胖，并且血糖水平升高与肥胖无关。这些结果导致了一个模型，从外周组织分泌的Batotin作为一种促氧肽在内分泌方式抑制瘦素信号。在Aim 1中，我们将详细研究Batotin如何抑制瘦素信号传导。在Aim 2中，我们将使用功能获得小鼠模型来研究Batotin的功能和机制。在目标3中，我们将研究功能丧失小鼠模型。
