Abstract

Leptin can exert its potent appetite-suppressing effects via activation of hypothalamic proopiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons. It depolarizes POMC neurons via activation of a yet unidentified nonselective cation current. Therefore, we sought to identify the conductance activated by leptin using whole-cell recording in EGFP-POMC neurons from transgenic mice. The TRPC channel blockers SKF96365 (1-[beta-[3-(4-methoxyphenyl)propoxy]-4-methoxyphenethyl]-1H-imidazole hydrochloride), flufenamic acid, and 2-APB (2-aminoethyl diphenylborinate) potently inhibited the leptin-induced current. Also, lanthanum (La(3+)) and intracellular Ca(2+) potentiated the effects of leptin. Moreover, the diacylglycerol-permeable analog OAG (2-acetyl-1-oleoyl-sn-glycerol) failed to activate any TRPC current. Using a Cs(+)-gluconate-based internal solution, the leptin-activated current reversed near -20 mV. After replacement of external Na(+) and K(+) with Cs(+), the reversal shifted to near 0 mV, and the I/V curve exhibited a negative slope conductance at voltages more negative than -40 mV. Based on scRT-PCR, TRPC1 and TRPC4-7 mRNA were expressed in POMC neurons, with TRPC5 being the most prevalent. The leptin-induced current was blocked by the Jak2 inhibito...Continue Reading
