Abstract

The objective of this study was to elucidate the role of endogenous Neuromedin U (NMU) in rats by performing NMU knockout (KO). Male, but not female NMU KO rats exhibited decreased wheel-running activity versus wild-type (WT), although overall home cage activity was not affected. Plasma testosterone in WT rats varied significantly over the course of a day, with a peak at ZT1 and a nadir at ZT18, whereas in NMU KO rats testosterone remained stable throughout the day. Chronic administration of testosterone restored wheel-running activity in NMU KO rats to the same level as in WT rats, suggesting that the decrease in wheel-running activity in NMU KO rats is due to the disruption of the diurnal change of testosterone. Accordingly, expression of the luteinizing hormone beta subunit (Lhb) mRNA in the pars distalis of anterior pituitary was significantly lower in NMU KO rats; immunostaining revealed that the size of LH-expressing cells also was relatively small in those animals. In the brain of male WT rats, Nmu was highly expressed in the pars tuberalis and NMU receptor Nmur2 was highly expressed in the ependymal cell layer of the third ventricle. This study reveals a novel function of NMU and indicates that endogenous NMU in rats plays a role in the regulation of motivated activity via regulation of testosterone.

Abstract

Studies in genetically modified mice establish that essential roles of endogenous neuromedin U (NMU) are anorexigenic function and metabolic regulation, indicating that NMU is expected to be a potential target for anti-obesity agents. However, in central administration experiments in rats, inconsistent results have been obtained, and the essential role of NMU energy metabolism in rats remain unclear. This study aims to elucidate the role of endogenous NMU in rats. We generated NMU knockout (KO) rats that unexpectedly showed no difference in body weight, adiposity, circulating metabolic markers, body temperature, locomotor activity, and food consumption in both normal and high fat chow feeding. Furthermore, unlike reported in mice, expressions of Nmu and NMU receptor type 2 (Nmur2) mRNA were hardly detectable in the rat hypothalamic nuclei regulating feeding and energy metabolism, including the arcuate nucleus and paraventricular nucleus, while Nmu was expressed in pars tuberalis and Nmur2 was expressed in the ependymal cell layer of the third ventricle. These results indicate that the species–specific expression pattern of Nmu and Nmur2 may allow NMU to have distinct functions across species, and that endogenous NMU does not function as an anorexigenic hormone in rats.
