Abstract
The gastrointestinal tract plays a role in the development and treatment of metabolic diseases. During a meal, the gut provides crucial information to the brain regarding incoming nutrients to allow proper maintenance of energy and glucose homeostasis. This gut-brain communication is regulated by various peptides or hormones that are secreted from the gut in response to nutrients; these signaling molecules can enter the circulation and act directly on the brain, or they can act indirectly via paracrine action on local vagal and spinal afferent neurons that innervate the gut. In addition, the enteric nervous system can act as a relay from the gut to the brain. The current review will outline the different gut-brain signaling mechanisms that contribute to metabolic homeostasis, highlighting the recent advances in understanding these complex hormonal and neural pathways. Furthermore, the impact of the gut microbiota on various components of the gut-brain axis that regulates energy and glucose homeostasis will be discussed. A better understanding of the gut-brain axis and its complex relationship with the gut microbiome is crucial for the development of successful pharmacological therapies to combat obesity and diabetes.

Abstract
Duplication of the distal 1q and 4p segments are both characterized by the presence of intellectual disability/neurodevelopmental delay and dysmorphisms. Here, we describe a male with a complex chromosome rearrangement (CCR) presenting with overlapping clinical findings between these 2 syndromes. In order to better characterize this CCR, classical karyotyping, FISH, and chromosomal microarray analysis were performed on material from the patient and his parents, which revealed an unbalanced karyotype with duplications at 1q41q43 and 4p15.2p14 in the proband. The rearrangements, which were derived from a maternal balanced karyotype, included an insertion of a segment from the long to the short arm of chromosome 1, a balanced translocation involving chromosomes 14 and 18, and an insertion of a segment from the short arm of chromosome 4 into the derived chromosome 14. This study aimed to better define the clinical history and prognosis of a patient with this rare category of chromosomal aberration. Our results suggest that the frequency of CCR in the general population may be underestimated; when balanced, they may not have a phenotypic effect. Moreover, they emphasize the need for cytogenetic techniques complementary to chromosomal microarray for proper genetic counseling.

Abstract
The regulation of food intake encompasses complex interplays between the gut and the brain. Among them, the gastrointestinal tract releases different peptides that communicate the metabolic state to specific nuclei in the hindbrain and the hypothalamus. The present overview gives emphasis on seven peptides that are produced by and secreted from specialized enteroendocrine cells along the gastrointestinal tract in relation with the nutritional status. These established modulators of feeding are ghrelin and nesfatin-1 secreted from gastric X/A-like cells, cholecystokinin (CCK) secreted from duodenal I-cells, glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), oxyntomodulin, and peptide YY (PYY) secreted from intestinal L-cells and uroguanylin (UGN) released from enterochromaffin (EC) cells. © 2021 American Physiological Society.

Abstract
The vagus nerve and the celiaco-mesenteric ganglia (CMG) are required for reduction of meal size (MS) and prolongation of the intermeal interval (IMI) by intraperitoneal (ip) sulfated cholecystokinin-8 (CCK-8). However, recently we have shown that the gut regulates these responses. Therefore, reevaluating the role of the vagus and the CMG in the feeding responses evoked by CCK is necessary because the gut contains the highest concentration of enteric, vagal and splanchnic afferents and CCK-A receptors, which are required for reduction of food intake by this peptide, compared to other abdominal organs. To address this necessity, we injected sulfated CCK-8 (0, 0.1, 0.5, 1 and 3 nmol/kg) in the aorta, near the gastrointestinal sites of action of the peptide, in three groups of free-feeding rats (n = 10 rats per group), subdiaphragmatic vagotomy (VGX), celiaco-mesenteric ganglionectomy (CMGX) and sham-operated, and recorded seven feeding responses. In the sham group, CCK-8 reduced MS (normal chow), prolonged the intermeal interval (IMI, time between first and second meals), increased satiety ratio (SR, IMI/MS), shortened duration of first meal, reduced total (24 hrs) food intake and reduced number of meals relative to saline vehicle. Vagotomy attenuated all of the previous responses except IMI length and SR, and CMGX attenuated all of those responses. In conclusion, the feeding responses evoked by sulfated CCK-8 require, independently, the vagus nerve and the CMG.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cholecystokinin type 2 receptor (CCK2R), which mediates the action of gastrin and cholecystokinin (CCK), has been demonstrated to promote the proliferation of colorectal cancer (CRC). A number of studies showed that CCK2R overexpressed in gastric cancer and pancreatic cancer but few in CRC. The correlation between CCK2R expression and clinicopathological characteristics is also not clear. METHODS This study investigated CCK2R expression in a wide range of cell lines and clinical CRC samples, and explored expression pattern and prognostic value of CCK2R in relation to clinicopathological parameters. The location and expression levels of CCK2R were measured by immunocytochemical (ICC), qRT-PCR and Western blot. The druggability and antineoplastic effects of CCK2R as a therapeutic target were investigated using an anti-CCK2R targeting recombinant toxin named rCCK8PE38 by CCK-8 assay. RESULTS Compared with paracarcinoma tissues, tumor samples showed overexpression of CCK2R (p = 0.028) including both CRC tissue and plasma samples, with plasma detection showing a significant indication for CCK2R evaluation. Aberrant expression correlated significantly with histological type (p = 0.032) and p53 status (p < 0.01), and patients with CCK2R overexpression had significantly lower disease-free survival. Application of rCCK8PE38 demonstrated the specificity and druggability of CCK2R as a therapeutic target, providing a strategy for clinical case screening of drugs targeting CCK2R. CONCLUSION This study highlighted the aberrant expression and clinical correlation of CCK2R and reveals its diagnostic, prognostic and treatment value in CRC. We hypothesize that CCK2R serve as a target for the diagnosis and treatment of this cancer.

Abstract
We have shown that non-sulfated cholecystokinin-8 (NS CCK-8) reduces food intake in adult male Sprague Dawley rats by activating cholecystokinin-B receptor (CCK-BR). Here, we tested the hypothesis that the vagus nerve and the celiaco-mesenteric ganglia may play a role in this reduction. The hypothesis stems from the following facts. The vagus and the celiaco-mesenteric ganglia contain NS CCK-8, they express and have binding sites for CCK-BR, NS CCK-8 activates CCK-BR on afferent vagal and sympathetic fibers and the two structures link the gastrointestinal tract to central feeding nuclei in the brain, which also contain the peptide and CCK-BR. To test this hypothesis, three groups of free-feeding rats, vagotomy (VGX), celiaco-mesenteric ganglionectomy (CMGX) and sham-operated, received NS CCK-8 (0, 0.5 and 1 nmol/kg) intraperitoneally prior to the onset of the dark cycle and various feeding behaviors were recorded. We found that in sham-operated rats both doses of NS CCK-8 reduced meal size (MS), prolonged the intermeal interval (IMI, time between first and second meal), increased satiety ratio (SR = IMI/MS), reduced 24-h food intake and reduced the number of meals relative to saline control. In the VGX and the CMGX groups, all of the previous responses were attenuated. Consistent with our hypothesis, the findings of the current work suggest a role for the vagus nerve and the celiaco-mesenteric ganglia in the feeding responses evoked by NS CCK-8.

Abstract
Trypsin is the major serine protease responsible for intestinal protein digestion. An inhibitor, camostat (CS), reduced weight gain, hyperglycemia, and dyslipidemia in obese rats; however, the mechanisms for these are largely unknown. We reasoned that CS creates an apparent dietary protein restriction, which is known to increase hepatic fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21). Therefore, metabolic responses to CS and a gut-restricted CS metabolite, FOY-251, were measured in mice. Food intake, body weight, blood glucose, branched-chain amino acids (LC/MS), hormone levels (ELISA), liver pathology (histology), and transcriptional changes (qRT-PCR) were measured in ob/ob, lean and diet-induced obese (DIO) C57BL/6 mice. In ob/ob mice, CS in chow (9-69 mg/kg) or FOY-251 (46 mg/kg) reduced food intake and body weight gain to a similar extent as pair-fed mice. CS decreased blood glucose, liver weight, and lipidosis and increased FGF21 gene transcription and plasma levels. In lean mice, CS increased liver FGF21 mRNA and plasma levels. Relative to pair feeding, FOY-251 also increased plasma FGF21 and induced liver FGF21 and integrated stress response (ISR) transcription. In DIO mice, FOY-251 (100 mg/kg po) did not alter peak glucose levels but reduced the AUC of the glucose excursion in response to an oral glucose challenge. FOY-251 increased plasma FGF21 levels. In addition to previously reported satiety-dependent (cholecystokinin-mediated) actions, intestinal trypsin inhibition engages non-satiety-related pathways in both leptin-deficient and DIO mice. This novel mechanism improves metabolism by a liver-integrated stress response and increased FGF21 expression levels in mice. NEW & NOTEWORTHY Trypsin inhibitors, including plant-based consumer products, have long been associated with metabolic improvements. Studies in the 1980s and 1990s suggested this was due to satiety hormones and caloric wasting by loss of protein and fatty acids in feces. This work suggests an entirely new mechanism based on the lower amounts of digested protein available in the gut. This apparent protein reduction may cause beneficial metabolic adaptation by the intestinal-liver axis to perceived nutrient stress.

Abstract
Recently, we reported that non-sulfated cholecystokinin-8 (NS CCK-8) reduces food intake by cholecystokinin-B receptors (CCK-BR). To examine a possible site of action for this peptide, and based on the fact that both NS CCK-8 and CCK-BR are found centrally and peripherally, in the current study we hypothesized that NS CCK-8 increases Fos-like immunoreactivity (Fos-LI, a neuronal activation marker) in the dorsal vagal complex (DVC) of the hindbrain and the myenteric and submucosal plexuses of the small intestine. We found that intraperitoneal NS CCK-8 (0.5 nmol/kg) increases Fos-LI in the DVC, the myenteric and the submucosal plexuses of the duodenum and the myenteric plexus of the jejunum. The findings suggest, but does not prove, a potential role for the DVC and the enteric neurons in the feeding responses evoked by NS CCK-8.

Abstract
To test the hypothesis that gastrin releasing peptide-29 (GRP-29) combined with glucagon like peptide-1 (7-36) (GLP-1 (7-36)) reduce body weight (BW) more than each of the peptides given individually, we infused the two peptides (0.5nmol/kg each) in the aorta of free feeding, diet-induced obese (DIO) male Sprague Dawley rats once daily for 25days and measured BW. We found that GRP-29 and GLP-1 reduce BW, GRP-29 reduced it more than GLP-1 and GRP-29+GLP-1 reduce BW more than each peptide given alone. This reduction was accompanied by decrease 24-hour food intake (normal rat chow), meal size (MS), duration of first meal and number of meals, and increase latency to the first meal, intermeal interval (IMI) and satiety ratio (IMI/MS, amount of food consumed per a unit of time). Furthermore, the peptides and their combination decreased 24-hour glucose levels. In conclusion, GRP-29+GLP-1 reduce BW more than each of the peptides given individually.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peptide tyrosine tyrosine 3-36 (peptide YY 3-36 or PYY 3-36) reduces food intake by unknown site(s). AIM To test the hypothesis that the gastrointestinal tract contains sites of action regulating meal size (MS) and intermeal interval (IMI) length by PYY 3-36. METHODS Peptide YY 3-36 (0, 1, 5, 10 and 20 nmol/kg) was injected in the aorta, the artery that supplies the gastrointestinal tract, prior to the onset of the dark cycle in free feeding male Sprague-Dawley rats and food intake was measured. Then, PYY 3-36 (25 nmol/kg) was injected intraperitoneally in these rats and Fos-like immunoreactivity (Fos-LI, a marker for neuronal activation) was quantified in the small intestinal enteric neurons, both myenteric and submucosal, and the dorsal vagal complex (DVC) of the hindbrain. RESULTS PYY 3-36 reduced first MS, decreased IMI length, shortened duration of first meal and increased Fos-LI in enteric and DVC neurons. However, PYY 3-36 failed to change the size of the second meal, satiety ratio, latency to first meal, number of meals and 24 h intake relative to saline control. CONCLUSION The gastrointestinal tract may contain sites of action regulating MS reduction by PYY 3-36.

Abstract
The efficacy of Roux-en-Y gastric-bypass (RYGB) and other bariatric surgeries in the management of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus and novel developments in gastrointestinal (GI) endocrinology have renewed interest in the roles of GI hormones in the control of eating, meal-related glycemia, and obesity. Here we review the nutrient-sensing mechanisms that control the secretion of four of these hormones, ghrelin, cholecystokinin (CCK), glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), and peptide tyrosine tyrosine [PYY(3-36)], and their contributions to the controls of GI motor function, food intake, and meal-related increases in glycemia in healthy-weight and obese persons, as well as in RYGB patients. Their physiological roles as classical endocrine and as locally acting signals are discussed. Gastric emptying, the detection of specific digestive products by small intestinal enteroendocrine cells, and synergistic interactions among different GI loci all contribute to the secretion of ghrelin, CCK, GLP-1, and PYY(3-36). While CCK has been fully established as an endogenous endocrine control of eating in healthy-weight persons, the roles of all four hormones in eating in obese persons and following RYGB are uncertain. Similarly, only GLP-1 clearly contributes to the endocrine control of meal-related glycemia. It is likely that local signaling is involved in these hormones' actions, but methods to determine the physiological status of local signaling effects are lacking. Further research and fresh approaches are required to better understand ghrelin, CCK, GLP-1, and PYY(3-36) physiology; their roles in obesity and bariatric surgery; and their therapeutic potentials.

Abstract
Two separate experiments were performed to localize the gastrointestinal sites of action regulating meal size (MS), intermeal interval (IMI) length and satiety ratio (SR, IMI/MS) by cholecystokinin (CCK) 8 and 33. Experiment 1: CCK-8 (0, 0.05, 0.15, 0.25nmol/kg) was infused in the celiac artery (CA, supplies stomach and upper duodenum) or the cranial mesenteric artery (CMA, supplies small and part of the large intestine) prior to the onset of the dark cycle in free feeding, male Sprague Dawley rats and MS (normal rat chow), IMI and SR were recorded. Experiment 2: CCK-33 (0, 0.05, 0.15, 0.25nmol/kg) were infused in the CA or the CMA, under the same experimental conditions above, and MS, IMI and SR were recorded. Experiment 1 found that CCK-8 reduces MS, prolongs the IMI and increases the SR at sites supplied by both arteries. Experiment 2 found that CCK-33 reduces MS and increases the SR at sites supplied by the CMA. We conclude that in male rats the feeding behaviors evoked by CCK-33, but not CCK-8, are regulated at specific gastrointestinal sites of action.

Abstract
Cholecystokinin (CCK) regulates appetite and reduces food intake by activating the type 1 CCK receptor (CCK1R). Attempts to develop CCK1R agonists for obesity have yielded active agents that have not reached clinical practice. Here we discuss why, along with new strategies to target CCK1R more effectively. We examine signaling events and the possibility of developing agents that exhibit ligand-directed bias, to dissociate satiety activity from undesirable side effects. Potential allosteric sites of modulation are also discussed, along with desired properties of a positive allosteric modulator (PAM) without intrinsic agonist action as another strategy to treat obesity. These new types of CCK1R-active drugs could be useful as standalone agents or as part of a rational drug combination for management of obesity.

Washington MC, Mhalhal TR, Sayegh AI. The BB2 receptor antagonist BW2258U89 attenuates the feeding responses evoked by exogenous gastrin releasing peptide-29. Horm Behav 2016; 85:1-4. [PMID: 27381650 PMCID: PMC5026928 DOI: 10.1016/j.yhbeh.2016.06.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2016] [Revised: 06/29/2016] [Accepted: 06/30/2016] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
This confirmatory work is aimed to test that the hypothesis that the gastrin releasing peptide (GRP) receptor - the BB2 receptor - is necessary for reduction of meal size (MS) and prolongation of the intermeal interval (IMI) by the small and the large forms of GRP in the rat, GRP-10 and GRP-29, and to confirm the sites of action regulating such responses - the vascular bed of the celiac artery (CA, supplying stomach and upper duodenum). To pursue these aims we measured first MS and IMI length in response to GRP-10 and GRP-29 (0, 0.5nmol/kg) infused in the CA (n=8 rats) and the cranial mesenteric artery (CMA, supplying the small and part of the large intestine, n=8 rats) in near spontaneously free feeding rats pretreated with the BB2 receptor antagonist BW2258U89 (0.1mg/kg) in the same arteries prior to the onset of the dark cycle. We found that GRP-29, but not GRP-10, infused by the CA reduced MS and prolonged the IMI by decreasing meal latency and meal duration and the BB2 receptor antagonist BW2258U89 infused in the same artery attenuated these responses. These results suggest that the BB2 receptor is necessary for reduction of MS and prolongation of the IMI by exogenous GRP-29, and the vascular bed of the CA, stomach and upper duodenum, contains sites of action regulating these feeding responses.

Roux-en-Y gastric bypass augments the feeding responses evoked by gastrin-releasing peptides. J Surg Res 2016; 206:517-524. [PMID: 27884350 DOI: 10.1016/j.jss.2016.08.057] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2016] [Revised: 08/03/2016] [Accepted: 08/11/2016] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is the most effective method for the treatment of obesity, and metabolic disease RYGB may reduce body weight by altering the feeding responses evoked by the short-term satiety peptides. MATERIALS AND METHODS Here, we measured meal size (MS, chow), intermeal interval (IMI) length, and satiety ratio (SR, IMI/MS; food consumed per a unit of time) by the small and the large forms of gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) in rats, GRP-10 and GRP-29 (0, 0.1, 0.5 nmol/kg) infused in the celiac artery (CA, supplies stomach and upper duodenum) and the cranial mesenteric artery (CMA, supplies small and large intestine) in an RYGB rat model. RESULTS GRP-10 reduced MS, prolonged the IMI, and increased the SR only in the RYGB group, whereas GRP-29 evoked these responses by both routes and in both groups. CONCLUSIONS The RYGB procedure augments the feeding responses evoked by exogenous GRP, possibly by decreasing total food intake, increasing latency to the first meal, decreasing number of meals or altering the sites of action regulating MS and IMI length by the two peptides.
