Functional heterogeneity of POMC neurons relies on mTORC1 signaling [PDF]

open access: yesCell Reports, 2021
Hypothalamic pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons are known to trigger satiety. However, these neuronal cells encompass heterogeneous subpopulations that release γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), glutamate, or both neurotransmitters, whose functions are poorly ...

DRP1 Suppresses Leptin and Glucose Sensing of POMC Neurons [PDF]

open access: yesCell Metabolism, 2017
Hypothalamic pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons regulate energy and glucose metabolism. Intracellular mechanisms that enable these neurons to respond to changes in metabolic environment are ill defined.

Hypothalamic POMC neurons promote cannabinoid-induced feeding [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 2015
Hypothalamic pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons promote satiety. Cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1R) is critical for the central regulation of food intake. Here we test whether CB1R-controlled feeding in sated mice is paralleled by decreased activity of POMC ...

POMC Neurons: From Birth to Death [PDF]

open access: yesAnnual Review of Physiology, 2017
The hypothalamus is an evolutionarily conserved brain structure that regulates an organism's basic functions, such as homeostasis and reproduction. Several hypothalamic nuclei and neuronal circuits have been the focus of many studies seeking to understand their role in regulating these basic functions. Within the hypothalamic neuronal populations, the

Loss of autophagy in hypothalamic POMC neurons impairs lipolysis [PDF]

open access: yesEMBO Reports, 2012
Autophagy degrades cytoplasmic contents to achieve cellular homeostasis. We show that selective loss of autophagy in hypothalamic proopiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons decreases α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH) levels, promoting adiposity, impairing lipolysis and altering glucose homeostasis.

Hypothalamic proopiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons have a cholinergic phenotype

European Journal of Neuroscience, 2006
AbstractNeuronal networks originating in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus play fundamental roles in the control of energy balance. Neuropeptide Y (NPY)‐producing neurons in the arcuate nucleus stimulate food intake, whereas arcuate nucleus neurons that release the proopiomelanocortin (POMC)‐derived peptide α‐melanocyte‐stimulating hormone (α‐MSH ...

An ATF4-ATG5 signaling in hypothalamic POMC neurons regulates obesity [PDF]

open access: yesAutophagy, 2017
ATF4 (activating transcription factor 4) is an important transcription factor that has many biological functions, while its role in hypothalamic POMC (pro-opiomelanocortin-α) neurons in the regulation of energy homeostasis has not been explored. We recently discovered that mice with an Atf4 deletion specific to POMC neurons (PAKO mice) are lean and ...

Mitochondrial regulation of obesity by POMC neurons

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Basis of Disease
Pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons, nestled in the hypothalamus, play a pivotal role in the intricate coordination of energy homeostasis and metabolic pathways. These neurons' mitochondria, often hailed as the cell's powerhouses, are crucial for maintaining cellular energy equilibrium and metabolic functionality.
