- W3175891683 abstract "Leptin restores growth hormone (GH) in leptin-deficient animals, suggesting a role in somatotrope maintenance. To determine leptin's importance to somatotropes, we ablated the leptin receptor (LEPR) selectively using targeted Cre-recombinase in somatotropes of mice bearing two floxed alleles of LEPR exon 17, thereby removing the JAK binding site of LEPR-b. We detected no early or extrapituitary expression of Cre-Recombinase and 3 generations showed >95% viability. In adult males or females, the mutation reduced serum GH by 50-84% and reduced % of pituitary cells bearing LEPR-b or GH. For example, pituitary cells with LEPR-b in males declined from 37 ± 1% (controls) to 20 ± 2% (heterozygotes) and 11 ± 1% (homozygotes) and GH cells in males were reduced from 26 ± 2% (controls) to 12 ± 1% or 7 ± 1% in F2 or F3 generation homozygotes, respectively. In spite of reduced GH, mutant mice grew normally. However, a 70% reduction in corpora lutea in F2 homozygotes correlated with a significant reduction in litter size. By 3-4.5 months of age, homozygote males showed significant weight gains (30% over controls) and a 1.8-fold increase in percent body fat by DEXA analysis. Females showed these changes by 6 months. Direct leptin signaling to somatotropes is thus important especially in functions related to maintaining GH, fertility and body composition.
