Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Leptin regulates energy homeostasis through central activation of multiple signaling pathways mediated by Ob-Rb, the long form of leptin receptor. Leptin resistance underlies the pathogenic development of obesity, which is closely associated with environmental factors. To further understand the physiological function of leptin signaling mechanisms, we generated a knock-in line of mice (Y985F) expressing a mutant Ob-Rb with a phenylalanine substitution for Tyr985, one of the three intracellular tyrosines that mediate leptin's signaling actions. Surprisingly, whereas young homozygous Y985F animals were slightly leaner, they exhibit adult-onset or diet-induced obesity. Importantly, both age-dependent and diet-induced deterioration of energy balance was paralleled with pronounced leptin resistance, which was largely attributable to attenuation of leptin-responsive hypothalamic STAT3 activation as well as prominently elevated expression of hypothalamic SOCS3, a key negative regulator of leptin signaling. Thus, these results unmask distinct binary roles for Try985-mediated signaling in energy metabolism, acting as an age/diet-dependent regulatory switch to counteract age-associated or diet-induced obesity.
