New roles for prokineticin 2 in feeding behavior, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes: Studies in mice and humans. Mol Metab 2019; 29:182-196. [PMID: 31668389 PMCID: PMC6812023 DOI: 10.1016/j.molmet.2019.08.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/24/2019] [Revised: 08/11/2019] [Accepted: 08/23/2019] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective Prokineticin 2 (PROK2) is a hypothalamic neuropeptide that plays a critical role in the rhythmicity of physiological functions and inhibits food intake. PROK2 is also expressed in the main olfactory bulb (MOB) as an essential factor for neuro-and morphogenesis. Since the MOB was shown to be strongly involved in eating behavior, we hypothesized that PROK2 could be a new target in the regulation of food intake and energy homeostasis, through its effects in the MOB. We also asked whether PROK2 could be associated with the pathophysiology of obesity, the metabolic syndrome (MetS), and type 2 diabetes (T2D) in humans. Methods We assessed in wild type mice whether the expression of Prok2 in the MOB is dependent on the nutritional status. We measured the effect of human recombinant PROK2 (rPROK2) acute injection in the MOB on food intake and olfactory behavior. Then, using a lentivirus expressing Prok2-shRNA, we studied the effects of Prok2 underexpression in the MOB on feeding behavior and glucose metabolism. Metabolic parameters and meal pattern were determined using calorimetric cages. In vivo 2-deoxyglucose uptake measurements were performed in mice after intraperitoneally insulin injection. Plasmatic PROK2 dosages and genetic associations studies were carried out respectively on 148 and more than 4000 participants from the D.E.S.I.R. (Data from an Epidemiologic Study on the Insulin Resistance Syndrome) cohort. Results Our findings showed that fasting in mice reduced Prok2 expression in the MOB. Acute injection of rPROK2 in the MOB significantly decreased food intake whereas Prok2-shRNA injection resulted in a higher dietary consumption characterized by increased feeding frequency and decreased meal size. Additionally, Prok2 underexpression in the MOB induced insulin resistance compared to scrambled shRNA-injected mice. In the human D.E.S.I.R. cohort, we found a significantly lower mean concentration of plasma PROK2 in people with T2D than in those with normoglycemia. Interestingly, this decrease was no longer significant when adjusted for Body Mass Index (BMI) or calorie intake, suggesting that the association between plasma PROK2 and diabetes is mediated, at least partly, by BMI and feeding behavior in humans. Moreover, common Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) in PROK2 gene were genotyped and associated with incident T2D or impaired fasting glycemia (IFG), MetS, and obesity. Conclusions Our data highlight PROK2 as a new target in the MOB that links olfaction with eating behavior and energy homeostasis. In humans, plasma PROK2 is negatively correlated with T2D, BMI, and energy intake, and PROK2 genetic variants are associated with incident hyperglycemia (T2D/IFG), the MetS and obesity. Fasting alters prokineticin 2 (Prok2) expression in the main olfactory bulb (MOB). Acute injection of PROK2 into the MOB diminishes food intake. Partial deletion of MOB-Prok2 affects meal pattern and induces insulin resistance. Type 2 diabetes (T2D) in humans is correlated with lower plasma PROK2 level. Polymorphisms of PROK2 gene associate with incident T2D and the metabolic syndrome.

Abstract
Losing the sense of smell because of aging compromises health and quality of life. In the mouse olfactory epithelium, aging reduces the capacity for tissue homeostasis and regeneration. The microvillous cell subtype that expresses both inositol trisphosphate receptor type 3 (IP3R3) and the neuroproliferative factor neuropeptide Y (NPY) is critical for regulation of homeostasis, yet its role in aging is undefined. We hypothesized that an age-related decline in IP3R3 expression and NPY signaling underlie age-related homeostatic changes and olfactory dysfunction. We found a decrease in IP3R3(+) and NPY(+) microvillous cell numbers and NPY protein and a reduced sensitivity to NPY-mediated proliferation over 24 months. However, in IP3R3-deficient mice, there was no further age-related reduction in cell numbers, proliferation, or olfactory function compared with wild type. The proliferative response was impaired in aged IP3R3-deficient mice when injury was caused by satratoxin G, which induces IP3R3-mediated NPY release, but not by bulbectomy, which does not evoke NPY release. These data identify IP3R3 and NPY signaling as targets for improving recovery following olfactotoxicant exposure.

Abstract
The decline observed during aging involves multiple factors that influence several systems. It is the case for learning and memory processes which are severely reduced with aging. It is admitted that these cognitive effects result from impaired neuronal plasticity, which is altered in normal aging but mainly in Alzheimer disease. Neurotrophins and their receptors, notably BDNF, are expressed in brain areas exhibiting a high degree of plasticity (i.e. the hippocampus, cerebral cortex) and are considered as genuine molecular mediators of functional and morphological synaptic plasticity. Modification of BDNF and/or the expression of its receptors (TrkB.FL, TrkB.T1 and TrkB.T2) have been described during normal aging and Alzheimer disease. Interestingly, recent findings show that some physiologic or pathologic age-associated changes in the central nervous system could be offset by administration of exogenous BDNF and/or by stimulating its receptor expression. These molecules may thus represent a physiological reserve which could determine physiological or pathological aging. These data suggest that boosting the expression or activity of these endogenous protective systems may be a promising therapeutic alternative to enhance healthy aging.

Abstract
It is well known that physiological changes in the neuroendocrine system may be related to the process of aging. To assess neuroendocrine status in aging humans we studied a group of 155 women including 78 extremely old women (centenarians) aged 100-115 years, 21 early elderly women aged 64-67 years, 21 postmenopausal women aged 50-60 years and 35 younger women aged 20-50 years. Plasma NPY, leptin, glucose, insulin and lipid profiles were evaluated, and serum concentrations of pituitary, adrenal and thyroid hormones were measured. Our data revealed several differences in the neuroendocrine and metabolic status of centenarians, compared with other age groups, including the lowest serum concentrations of leptin, insulin and T3, and the highest values for prolactin. We failed to find any significant differences in TSH and cortisol levels. On the other hand, LH and FSH levels were comparable with those in the elderly and postmenopausal groups, but they were significantly higher than in younger subjects. GH concentrations in centenarians were lower than in younger women. NPY values were highest in the elderly group and lowest in young subjects. We conclude that the neuroendocrine status in centenarians is markedly different from that found in early elderly or young women.

Abstract
Although the olfactory bulb contains one of the highest concentrations of neuropeptide Y in the CNS, its function in the bulb remains unclear. In this study, we used whole-cell electrophysiological, molecular, and primary culture techniques to investigate neuropeptide Y gene expression and neuromodulatory actions of neuropeptide Y on rat olfactory bulb neurons. Northern analysis showed that neuropeptide Y mRNA increases with animal age or time in culture, in a parallel manner. In electrophysiology experiments, agonists that activate neuropeptide Y receptors (whole neuropeptide Y) and the Y2 receptor subtype (neuropeptide Y 13-36) reduced spontaneous excitatory activity in bulb interneurons. In investigating potential presynaptic effects, both agonists reduced the amplitude of calcium channel currents in the presynaptic (mitral/tufted) cell. Also consistent with a presynaptic effect, both agonists reduced the frequency but not the amplitude of miniature excitatory postsynaptic currents (or "minis") in interneurons. In examining potential postsynaptic effects, both agonists slightly increased membrane resistance but had no effect on currents evoked by glutamate. Together, these data suggest that neuropeptide Y inhibits excitatory neurotransmission between olfactory bulb neurons via a presynaptic effect on transmitter (glutamate) release.

Abstract
In the present study, we investigated the ischaemia-related neurodegeneration in the main and accessory olfactory bulb (AOB) after 5 min transient forebrain ischaemia in the Mongolian gerbil using the acid fuchsin staining method. Between 5 and 15 days after ischaemia, acid fuchsin positive cells markedly increased in the external plexiform layer (EPL), mitral cell layer (ML) and glomerular layer (GL) of the main olfactory bulb (MOB), and in the mixed cell layer (MCL) and GL of the AOB. By 30 days after ischaemia reperfusion, acid fuchsin positive neurons were shrunken and showed low acidophilia in somata. Many necrotic vacuoles were found in the EPL and GL of the MOB 30 days after ischaemia. At this time, necrotic vacuoles were very few in the AOB. Therefore, our results suggest that the GL and EPL of the MOB are vulnerable to ischaemic damage at a later time after ischaemic insult, and that the AOB is more resistant to ischaemic damage as compared with the MOB.

Abstract
Somatostatin is found in the olfactory system, including the main olfactory bulb (MOB), and is thought to be one of the neuroactive substances for olfaction. However, somatostatin immunoreactivity in the olfactory system has not been determined during ageing. Hence, we examined the age-related changes of somatostatin-immunoreactive (IR) neurones in the rat MOB over a period of 2 years, at the following various ageing stages: post-natal month 1 (PM 1), PM 3, PM 6, PM 12 and PM 24. In PM 1 group, a few somatostatin-IR neurones were detected in the granule cell layer (GCL), and had slender or oval somata and short processes. At PM 3, somatostatin-IR neurones were observed in the glomerular, external plexiform and GCL. The size of somatostatin-IR somata was larger than that at PM 1. In PM 6 group, the number and size of somatostatin-IR neurones increased, and their processes became longer while running in various directions. At PM 12, somatostatin-IR neurones increased in number, and their processes became markedly longer than those at PM 6. At this stage, somatostatin-IR neurones had multipolar somata, and were the largest in size. In PM 24 group, somatostatin-IR neurones were most numerous. However, the processes of somatostatin-IR neurones were shorter than those at PM 12. This study suggests that the increased number of somatostatin-IR neurones in the MOB of aged rats may play a role to compensate for any decrease of olfactory function.

Abstract
The present study describes the distribution of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)-immunoreactive (IR) elements in the olfactory bulb of the common marmoset monkey (Callithrix jacchus), a primate species by immunohistochemistry. We identified six layers of the olfactory bulb of the common marmoset monkey in sections stained with cresyl violet. The majority of TH-IR cells were found in the glomerular layer. A few TH-IR cells were present in the external plexiform and granule cell layers. TH-IR fibers were identified in all layers of the olfactory bulb. The density of these nerve fibers was high in the internal plexiform and granule cell layers. The results in the olfactory bulb of the common marmoset monkey are generally similar to previous reports in some mammals. These data suggest that TH in the olfactory bulb of the common marmoset monkey may play a role in olfactory transmission via the glomeruli like in other mammals.

Abstract
We investigated spatial and temporal alterations of calbindin D-28k (CB) immunoreactivity in the gerbil main olfactory bulb after transient ischemia-reperfusion. In sham-operated animals, CB-immunoreactive (IR) neurons were found in the periglomerular layer, external plexiform layer and granule cell layer. At 1-4 days after ischemic insult, the number of CB-IR neurons significantly increased. This result suggests that the increased CB may buffer the intracellular calcium at an early time point after the ischemic insult. In contrast, 10-30 days after the ischemic insult, the number of CB-IR neurons significantly decreased as compared to sham-operated animals. This result suggests that a malfunction in olfactory process may have occurred in the olfactory bulb at a later time point after the ischemic insult.

Abstract
Age-related changes in NPY-driven angiogenesis were investigated using Matrigel and aortic sprouting assays in young (2 months.) and aged (18 months.) mice. In both assays, NPY-induced vessel growth decreased significantly with age. In parallel, aged mice showed reduced expression (RT-PCR) of Y2 receptors and the NPY converting enzyme, dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV), in spleens. Aging of human microvascular endothelial cells in vitro led to a loss of their mitogenic responses to NPY accompanied by a lack of NPY receptor mRNAs. Thus, NPY-dependent angiogenesis is impaired with age, which is associated with a decreased expression of endothelial NPY receptors (Y2) and DPPIV.
