Human Semaphorin 3 Variants Link Melanocortin Circuit Development and Energy Balance

Abstract: SummaryHypothalamic melanocortin neurons play a pivotal role in weight regulation. Here, we examined the contribution of Semaphorin 3 (SEMA3) signaling to the development of these circuits. In genetic studies, we found 40 rare variants in SEMA3A-G and their receptors (PLXNA1-4; NRP1-2) in 573 severely obese individuals; variants disrupted secretion and/or signaling through multiple molecular mechanisms. Rare variants in this set of genes were significantly enriched in 982 severely obese cases compared to 4,449… Show more

“…A variety of signals have been shown to influence hypothalamic axonal outgrowth resulting in metabolic alterations (13,21,23,24). To determine if NNS impact hypothalamic axonal outgrowth, we treated arcuate nucleus (ARH) explants with sucralose, aspartame, ACEK, or rebaudioside A.…”

“…As already described (52), PVH and ARH nuclei were microdissected under binocular loupe from 200 µm-thick brain sections collected from P8, P10, P12, P14, P16, and P18 C57Bl/6 pups (n=2-4/age, from at least 2 litters/age) and from 16 week-old Pomc -Cre; Efnb2 loxP/loxP and Efnb2 loxP/loxP . Microdissected nuclei were stored at −80°C until RNA extraction using Picopure RNA extraction kit (Applied Biosystems).…”

“…P6, P14, and P22 Pomc -Cre;tdTomato male mice (n=2-3 animals/age), 16-18 week-old Pomc -Cre;tdTomato; Efnb1 loxP/0 , Pomc -Cre;tdTomato, Pomc -Cre;tdTomato; Efnb2 loxP/loxP , and Pomc -Cre;tdTomato; Efnb1 loxP/loxP , Pomc -Cre;tdTomato; Efnb2 loxP/loxP , Pomc -Cre;tdTomato female mice were transcardially perfused with 4% PFA (n=3/group). 20 µm-thick brain and pancreas sections were processed for immunofluorescence using standard procedures (10,52,58). The primary antibodies used for IHC were as follows: rabbit anti-vGLUT2 (1:500, Synaptic Systems), rabbit anti-VAChT (1:500, Synaptic Systems), guinea-pig anti-insulin (1:500, Abcam).…”

“…It suggest sympathetic nerve implicate lipid metabolism, it also suggest SEMA3F maybe has potential role in energy availability. The other studies demonstrate the epigenetics may control differentiation and fatty acid metabolism of LECs ( Wong et al , 2017; van der Klaauw et al , 2019). So, We hypothesize that SEMA3F binding NRP2 to reduce lymphangiogenesis of CRCs maybe has other mechanisms, SEMA3F may bind NRP2 to disturb lipid metabolism of LECs and repress lymphangiogenesis of CRCs.…”
