- W3206731951 abstract "Abstract The melanin concentrating hormone (MCH) system is involved in numerous functions including energy homeostasis, food intake, sleep, stress, mood, aggression, reward, maternal behavior, social behavior, and cognition. MCH acts on a G protein-coupled receptor MCHR1, which expresses ubiquitously in the brain and localizes to neuronal primary cilia. Cilia act as cells’ antennas and play crucial roles in cell signaling to detect and transduce external stimuli to regulate cell differentiation and migration. Cilia are highly dynamic in terms of their length and morphology; however, it is not known if cilia length is causally regulated by MCH system activation in-vivo. In the current work, we examined the effects of the activation and inactivation of MCH system on cilia lengths by using different methodologies, including pharmacological (MCHR1 agonist and antagonist GW803430), germline and conditional genetic deletion of MCHR1 and MCH, optogenetic, and chemogenetic (Designer Receptors Exclusively Activated by Designer Drugs (DREADD)) approaches. We found that stimulation of MCH system either directly through MCHR1 activation, or indirectly through optogenetic and chemogenetic- mediated excitation of MCH neurons, causes cilia shortening. Contrarily, inactivation of MCH signaling through pharmacological MCHR1 blockade or through genetic manipulations - germline deletion of MCHR1 and conditional ablation of MCH neurons - induces cilia lengthening. Our study is the first to uncover the causal effects of the MCH system in the regulation of the length of brain neuronal primary cilia. These findings place MCH system at a unique position in the ciliary signaling in physiological and pathological conditions, and implicate cilia MCHR1 as a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of pathological conditions characterized by impaired cilia function." @default.
