项目摘要

Project Summary While the systems that regulate circadian rhythms and energy homeostasis are tightly coupled together, the pathways which connect them together are not well understood. Our recent findings have identified a novel, physiological role for a subset of neurons in the dorsomedial hypothalamus (DMH) that express the leptin receptor in the circadian control of feeding, locomotor activity and associated metabolic rhythms. The overarching goal of this proposal is to identify the neurocircuitry linking circadian rhythms to control of DMH leptin receptor (LepR) neurons and associated feeding and metabolic responses. Proposed aims seek to 1) characterize the rhythmicity of DMH LepR neuronal activity; 2) identify the contribution made by specific subsets of these neurons in the circadian control of feeding behavior, metabolism and locomotion, and 3) to identify upstream regulators of DMH LepR neurons that regulate circadian control of feeding and metabolism. To accomplish this, we will integrate advanced neuroscience techniques including in vivo fiber photometry, viral track tracing and chemogenetic techniques, along with an intersectional genetics approach and comprehensive rodent metabolic phenotyping. Together, this work will fundamentally advance our knowledge of the neural circuits underlying endogenous rhythms of behavior, feeding, and metabolism and can be expected to facilitate the development of new strategies for the treatment and prevention of obesity and related disorders in humans.

项目摘要尽管调节昼夜节律和能量稳态的系统紧密结合在一起，但将它们连接在一起的途径尚不清楚。我们最近的发现已经确定了一部小说表达瘦素的背侧下丘脑（DMH）中神经元子集的生理作用昼夜节律控制，运动活性和相关代谢节奏的受体。这该提案的总体目标是确定连接昼夜节律以控制DMH的神经记录瘦素受体（LEPR）神经元以及相关的喂养和代谢反应。拟议的目标寻求1）表征DMH LEPR神经元活性的节奏性； 2）确定特定的贡献这些神经元的子集在昼夜节律控制行为，代谢和运动的控制中，以及3）确定调节昼夜节律喂养和代谢的DMH LEPR神经元的上游调节剂。为此，我们将整合高级神经科学技术，包括体内纤维光度法，病毒轨迹追踪和化学发生技术，以及交叉遗传学方法和全面的啮齿动物代谢表型。这项工作从根本上可以提高我们的知识行为，进食和代谢的内源性内源性节奏的神经回路可以是有望促进制定新的策略，以治疗和预防肥胖和相关人类的疾病。
