Popis: | Western diets that are high in saturated fat and sugar disrupt circadian rhythms, induce weight gain, and lead to metabolic diseases including obesity. However, the mechanistic link between altered circadian rhythms and energy homeostasis remains poorly understood. In C57BL/6J mice, consuming a Western diet for 16 weeks significantly reduced food intake (at zeitgeber 12–16), in association with decreases in hypothalamic expression of the orexigenic neuropeptides, neuropeptide Y (Npy) and agouti-related peptide (AgRP). To examine the acute effects of the most prevalent saturated fatty acid in a Western diet, palmitate, and the role of the core clock gene, Bmal1, in the regulation of hypothalamic feeding neuropeptides, we used heterogeneous and clonal BMAL1 knockout (KO) immortalized hypothalamic cell lines, expressing specific neuropeptides, derived from male (M) and female (F) mice. Both mHypoA-BMAL1-KO/F and mHypoA-BMAL1-KO/M cells demonstrated a loss of circadian rhythmicity in expression of the clock gene, Per2, as compared to wild-type (control) cultures. Loss of BMAL1 also altered the time-dependent expression of Npy and proopiomelanocortin, and disrupted AgRP rhythmicity. Furthermore, palmitate increased BMAL1 binding to the Npy promotor region, and palmitate treatment (50 μM for 24 h) stimulated Npy expression in a BMAL1-dependent manner in both heterogeneous and clonal NPY-expressing female-derived cell models. The results of this study demonstrate that circadian expression of Bmal1 serves as a mechanistic link between Western diet- and palmitate-induced disruptions of the normal rhythmic patterns in hypothalamic feeding-related neuropeptides. |
