Leptin Receptor Long-form Splice-variant Protein Expression in Neuron Cell Bodies of the Brain and Co-localization with Neuropeptide Y mRNA in the Arcuate Nucleus
Abstract
Reduced leptin (Ob protein) signaling is proposed to be a stimulus for the activation of neuropeptide Y (NPY) gene activity and increased expression of mRNA for the long form of the leptin receptor (Ob-Rb) in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus. To determine if Ob-Rb protein is expressed in arcuate nucleus NPY neurons, we developed an affinity-purified polyclonal antibody against amino acids 956-1102 of human Ob-Rb. This antibody specifically recognizes the cytoplasmic tail of Ob-Rb and does not react with shorter leptin-receptor variants. Western immunoblots of Ob-Rb-transfected COS cells showed a single 150-kD band, and immunofluorescence revealed intense perinuclear staining in the cytoplasm. A 150-kD band was also present in Western immunoblots of hypothalamus. Immunocytochemical staining of brain slices revealed immunoreactive Ob-Rb protein concentrated in many neuronal cell bodies in the same regions of the forebrain that also express Ob-Rb mRNA. In the hypothalamus, Ob-Rb-positive cell bodies were abundant in the arcuate nucleus and ventromedial nucleus, with lesser numbers in the dorsomedial nucleus and paraventricular nucleus. Immunostaining was also detected in cell bodies of pyramidal cell neurons of the pyriform cortex and cerebral cortex, in neurons of the thalamus, and on the surface of ependymal cells lining the third ventricle. The choroid plexus, which expresses the short Ob-Ra form, was negative. Combined immunocytochemistry for Ob-Rb protein and fluorescence in situ hybridization for NPY mRNA identified arcuate nucleus neurons containing both NPY mRNA and Ob-Rb protein. The present finding of Ob-Rb protein in neurons that express NPY mRNA supports the hypothesis that arcuate nucleus NPY neurons are direct targets of leptin and play an important role in regulation of food intake and body weight.

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.
