Popis: Summary Chronic low-grade inflammation and increased serum levels of the cytokine IL-6 accompany obesity. For brain-produced IL-6, the mechanisms by which it controls energy balance and its role in obesity remain unclear. Here, we show that brain-produced IL-6 is decreased in obese mice and rats in a neuroanatomically and sex-specific manner. Reduced IL-6 mRNA localized to lateral parabrachial nucleus (lPBN) astrocytes, microglia, and neurons, including paraventricular hypothalamus-innervating lPBN neurons. IL-6 microinjection into lPBN reduced food intake and increased brown adipose tissue (BAT) thermogenesis in male lean and obese rats by increasing thyroid and sympathetic outflow to BAT. Parabrachial IL-6 interacted with leptin to reduce feeding. siRNA-mediated reduction of lPBN IL-6 leads to increased weight gain and adiposity, reduced BAT thermogenesis, and increased food intake. Ambient cold exposure partly normalizes the obesity-induced suppression of lPBN IL-6. These results indicate that lPBN-produced IL-6 regulates feeding and metabolism and pinpoints (patho)physiological contexts interacting with lPBN IL-6.
Graphical Abstract
Highlights • Obesogenic diet robustly reduces, and 4°C cold exposure increases, rodent lPBN IL-6 • IL-6 interacts with leptin at the level of the lPBN to reduce food intake • LPBN IL-6 leads to increased BAT thermogenesis by thyroid and sympathetic mechanisms • Reduction in lPBN IL-6 increases weight gain and adiposity
Mishra et al. demonstrate that IL-6 is produced by lPBN neurons, astrocytes, and microglia. They show that IL-6 acts in the lPBN to reduce body weight by increasing thermogenesis and reducing food intake. They also identify two pathophysiological/physiological contexts, obesity and cold exposure, that divergently affect lPBN IL-6 production.
