Abstract
Objective Pancreatic tissue, and islets in particular, are enriched in expression of the interleukin-1 receptor type I (IL-1R). Because of this enrichment, islet β-cells are exquisitely sensitive to the IL-1R ligands IL-1α and IL-1β, suggesting that signaling through this pathway regulates health and function of islet β-cells. Methods Herein, we report a targeted deletion of IL-1R in pancreatic tissue (IL-1RPdx1−/−) in C57BL/6J mice and in db/db mice on the C57 genetic background. Islet morphology, β-cell transcription factor abundance, and expression of the de-differentiation marker Aldh1a3 were analyzed by immunofluorescent staining. Glucose and insulin tolerance tests were used to examine metabolic status of these genetic manipulations. Glucose-stimulated insulin secretion was evaluated in vivo and in isolated islets ex vivo by perifusion. Results Pancreatic deletion of IL-1R leads to impaired glucose tolerance, a phenotype that is exacerbated by age. Crossing the IL-1RPdx1−/− with db/db mice worsened glucose tolerance without altering body weight. There were no detectable alterations in insulin tolerance between IL-1RPdx1−/− mice and littermate controls. However, glucose-stimulated insulin secretion was reduced in islets isolated from IL-1RPdx1−/− relative to control islets. Insulin output in vivo after a glucose challenge was also markedly reduced in IL-1RPdx1−/− mice when compared with littermate controls. Pancreatic islets from IL-1RPdx1−/− mice displayed elevations in Aldh1a3, a marker of de-differentiation, and reduction in nuclear abundance of the β-cell transcription factor MafA. Nkx6.1 abundance was unaltered. Conclusions There is an important physiological role for pancreatic IL-1R to promote glucose homeostasis by suppressing expression of Aldh1a3, sustaining MafA abundance, and supporting glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in vivo. Pancreatic deletion of IL-1R impairs glucose tolerance in young and old male mice. Pancreatic deletion of IL-1R worsens glucose tolerance in obese db/db mice. Deletion of IL-1R triggers expression of the de-differentiation marker Aldh1a3. IL-1 signaling in pancreatic tissue influences islet health and function.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Opiate-induced respiratory depression is sexually dimorphic and associated with increased risk among the obese. The mechanisms underlying these associations are unknown. The present study evaluated the two-tailed hypothesis that sex, leptin status, and obesity modulate buprenorphine-induced changes in breathing. METHODS Mice (n = 40 male and 40 female) comprising four congenic lines that differ in leptin signaling and body weight were injected with saline and buprenorphine (0.3 mg/kg). Whole-body plethysmography was used to quantify the effects on minute ventilation. The data were evaluated using three-way analysis of variance, regression, and Poincaré analyses. RESULTS Relative to B6 mice with normal leptin, buprenorphine decreased minute ventilation in mice with diet-induced obesity (37.2%; P < 0.0001), ob/ob mice that lack leptin (62.6%; P < 0.0001), and db/db mice with dysfunctional leptin receptors (65.9%; P < 0.0001). Poincaré analyses showed that buprenorphine caused a significant (P < 0.0001) collapse in minute ventilation variability that was greatest in mice with leptin dysfunction. There was no significant effect of sex or body weight on minute ventilation. CONCLUSIONS The results support the interpretation that leptin status but not body weight or sex contributed to the buprenorphine-induced decrease in minute ventilation. Poincaré plots illustrate that the buprenorphine-induced decrease in minute ventilation variability was greatest in mice with impaired leptin signaling. This is relevant because normal respiratory variability is essential for martialing a compensatory response to ventilatory challenges imposed by disease, obesity, and surgical stress.
