IntroductionSodium glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are widely used for diabetes treatment. Although SGLT2 inhibitors have been clinically observed to increase food intake, roles or even the presence of SGLT2 in the central nervous system (CNS) has not been established. We aimed to elucidate potential functions of SGLT2 in the CNS, and the effects of CNS-targeted SGLT2 inhibitors on food intake.Research design and methodsWe administered three kinds of SGLT2 inhibitors, tofogliflozin, dapagliflozin, and empagliflozin, into the lateral ventricle (LV) in rats and evaluated their effects on food intake. We also evaluated the effects of tofogliflozin administration in the third (3V) and fourth ventricle (4V). Intraperitoneal administration of liraglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist known to suppress food intake, was combined with central tofogliflozin to elucidate whether GLP-1 signaling antagonizes the effect of central SGLT2 inhibitors on food intake. To elucidate potential molecular mechanisms mediating changes in feeding, hypothalamic areas associated with food intake regulation were harvested and analyzed after intracerebroventricular administration (ICV) of tofogliflozin.ResultsBolus ICV injection of tofogliflozin induced a robust increase in food intake starting at 1.5 hours postinjection, and lasting for 5 days. No effect was observed when the same dose of tofogliflozin was administered intraperitoneally. ICV dapagliflozin and empagliflozin significantly enhanced food intake, although the strength of these effects varied among drugs. Food intake was most markedly enhanced when tofogliflozin was infused into the LV. Fewer or no effects were observed with infusion into the 3V or 4V, respectively. Systemic administration of liraglutide suppressed the effect of ICV tofogliflozin on food intake. ICV tofogliflozin increased phosphorylation of AMPK and c-fos expression in the lateral hypothalamus.ConclusionsSGLT2 inhibitors in the CNS increase food intake. SGLT2 activity in the CNS may regulate food intake through AMPK phosphorylation in the lateral hypothalamic area.

The gut peptide ghrelin has been shown to stimulate food intake after both peripheral and central administration, and the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus has been proposed to be the major site for mediating this feeding stimulatory action. Ghrelin receptors are widely distributed in the brain, and hindbrain ghrelin administration has been shown to potently stimulate feeding, suggesting that there may be other sites for ghrelin action. In the present study, we have further assessed potential sites for ghrelin action by comparing the ability of lateral and fourth ventricular ghrelin administration to stimulate food intake and alter patterns of hypothalamic gene expression. Ghrelin (0.32, 1, or 3.2 nmol) in the lateral or fourth ventricle significantly increased food intake in the first 4 h after injection, with no ventricle-dependent differences in degree or time course of hyperphagia. One nanomole of ghrelin into either the lateral or fourth ventricle resulted in similar increases in arcuate nucleus neuropeptide Y mRNA expression. Expression levels of agouti-related peptide or proopiomelanocortin mRNA were not affected by ghrelin administration. These data demonstrate that ghrelin can affect food intake and hypothalamic gene expression through interactions at multiple brain sites.

Central administration of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) is known to inhibit food intake and stimulate pituitary oxytocin (OT) secretion in rats. These experiments addressed the possibility that the inhibition of food intake that follows central CRH administration is mediated through oxytocinergic pathways. Male food-deprived rats, with stable baseline food intakes after intracerebroventricular (icv) injections of artificial cerebrospinal fluid, received 150 pmol of CRH icv. Food intake was inhibited by 62 +/- 5% during a 90-min test period. Pretreatment with 9 nmol of the OT antagonist [d(CH2)5, Tyr(Me)2, Orn8]vasotocin icv completely eliminated the inhibition of food intake produced by icv CRH. In contrast, pretreatment with the OT-receptor antagonist did not significantly alter pituitary secretion of adrenocorticotropic hormone and OT stimulated by icv CRH. The results of these experiments implicate OT as a possible central mediator of CRH-induced anorexias in rats, particularly those that are accompanied by stimulation of neurohypophysial OT secretion.

Five rhesus monkeys were infused intravenously with partially purified cholecystokinin (CCK) Just prior to a test meal of solid food after overnight food deprivation; CCK produced large, rapid, dose related suppressions of feeding. The lowest dose tested (5 Ivy U/kg body wt) produced a significant inhibition of food intake (26% suppression, P less than 0.05). Equivalent infusions of partially purified CCK or the synthetic COOH-terminal octapeptide of CCK (a pure fragment with all the biological activity of the full molecule) produced equivalent suppressions. In a second experiment, gastric preloads of a potent releaser of endogenous CCK, L-phenylalanine (L-Phe), and a weak releaser, D-phenylalanine (D-Phe) were compared for their relative abilities to suppress food intake at a test meal in nine rhesus monkeys after overnight deprivation. L-Phenylalanine produced large, rapid, dose-related suppressions of feeding, but D-Phe did not. The threshold dose of L-Phe was 0.5 g/kg (32% suppression, P less than 0.01). Neither CCK nor L-Phe caused signs of illness in these experiments. The results demonstrate that intravenous exogenous CCK suppresses feeding in rhesus monkeys and suggest that endogenous CCK has the same effect; they are consistent with the hypothesis that CCK is a satiety signal.

Administration of metformin is known to reduce both body weight and food intake. Although the hypothalamus is recognized as a critical regulator of energy balance and body weight, there is currently no evidence for an effect of metformin in the hypothalamus. Therefore, we sought to determine the central action of metformin on energy balance and body weight, as well as its potential involvement with key hypothalamic energy sensors, including adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and S6 kinase (S6K). We used meal pattern analysis and a conditioned taste aversion (CTA) test and measured energy expenditure in C56BL/6 mice administered metformin (0, 7.5, 15, or 30 μg) into the third ventricle (I3V). Furthermore, we I3V-administered either control or metformin (30 μg) and compared the phosphorylation of AMPK and S6K in the mouse mediobasal hypothalamus. Compared with the control, I3V administration of metformin decreased body weight and food intake in a dose-dependent manner and did not result in CTA. Furthermore, the reduction in food intake induced by I3V administration of metformin was accomplished by decreases in both nocturnal meal size and number. Compared with the control, I3V administration of metformin significantly increased phosphorylation of S6K at Thr389 and AMPK at Ser485/491 in the mediobasal hypothalamus, while AMPK phosphorylation at Thr172 was not significantly altered. Moreover, I3V rapamycin pretreatment restored the metformin-induced anorexia and weight loss. These results suggest that the reduction in food intake induced by the central administration of metformin in the mice may be mediated by activation of S6K pathway.
