The localization of leptin and leptin receptors in the stomach and small intestine has been reported. Their function is still unknown, although leptin is a hormone that regulates appetite and fat-related metabolism. The small intestine is one of the important organs for regulating metabolism. The purpose of the present study was to investigate whether leptin regulates apoptosis in the small intestinal mucosa. Intestinal apoptosis was evaluated by percent fragmented DNA, electrophoresis, TUNEL staining, and western blotting analysis of caspase-3. Mucosal apoptosis in the rat jejunum and Ileum was evaluated at 0, 3, 6, 12, and 24 hrs after injection. Rats were tested after ad libitum feeding and 24-hr fasting to exclude the anorectic effect of leptin. Leptin was injected intraperitoneally (ip) at a dose of 200 μg/rat and infused into the rat third cerebroventricle (icv) at a dose of 8 μg/rat. Leptin at a dose of 8 μg/rat significantly induced intestinal apoptosis in the small intestine at 3 and 6 hrs after icv administration in both ad libitum feeding and 24-hr fasted rats. This increase in apoptosis was not attenuated by vagotomy. Intestinal apoptosis increased 12 and 24 hrs after ip injection of leptin at a dose of 200 μg/rat. The peak of the increase in apoptosis in icv rats appeared earlier than that in ip rats. Leptin induced jejunal and ileal mucosal apoptosis in the rat, indicating that leptin might control intestinal function through the regulation of intestinal apoptosis.
