STAT3 signalling is required for leptin regulation of energy balance but not reproduction
Abstract
Secretion of leptin from adipocytes communicates body energy status to the brain by activating the leptin receptor long form (LRb). LRb regulates energy homeostasis and neuroendocrine function; the absence of LRb in db/db mice results in obesity, impaired growth, infertility and diabetes. Tyr 1138 of LRb mediates activation of the transcription factor STAT3 during leptin action. To investigate the contribution of STAT3 signalling to leptin action in vivo, we replaced the gene encoding the leptin receptor (lepr) in mice with an allele coding for a replacement of Tyr 1138 in LRb with a serine residue (lepr(S1138)) that specifically disrupts the LRb-STAT3 signal. Here we show that, like db/db mice, lepr(S1138) homozygotes (s/s) are hyperphagic and obese. However, whereas db/db mice are infertile, short and diabetic, s/s mice are fertile, long and less hyperglycaemic. Furthermore, hypothalamic expression of neuropeptide Y (NPY) is elevated in db/db mice but not s/s mice, whereas the hypothalamic melanocortin system is suppressed in both db/db and s/s mice. LRb-STAT3 signalling thus mediates the effects of leptin on melanocortin production and body energy homeostasis, whereas distinct LRb signals regulate NPY and the control of fertility, growth and glucose homeostasis.

“Recent evidence from transgenic animal models suggests that, in addition to the STAT3 signaling system, a distinct and parallel signal transduction pathway exists that regulates hypothalamic neuropeptide Y (NPY) and controls fertility, most likely through activation of extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK) and PI3K kinase (55).”

“This notion is supported by the findings from a recent study showing that although leptin activation of the STAT-3 signaling pathway is critical in the regulation of body weight and some neuroendocrine functions (thyroid, adrenal, and lactation), hypothalamic STAT-3 signaling is not essential for maintaining reproduct…”

“In previous studies, we also confirmed that palmitic acid directly inhibits leptin signaling in the hypothalamus, specifically the phosphorylation of STAT3 (p-STAT3), a critical mediator of leptin action, by investigating ex vivo hypothalamic brain slice cultures [12-15].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
