Abstract Hypothalamic prepro-orexin as well as pituitary and adrenal orexin receptors are gender-specifically expressed. To assess the regulation by gonadal steroids, we investigated the effect of 17β-estradiol in female and of testosterone in male rats on prepro-orexin and orexin receptor mRNA expression. Rats were either sham-operated or gonadectomized and subsequently treated with placebo, 17β-estradiol, or testosterone for 21 d. Tissue mRNA levels of prepro-orexin, orexin type-1 (OX1), and orexin type-2 (OX2) receptors were measured using quantitative real-time RT-PCR. In female rats, pituitary OX1 receptor mRNA levels were increased 12-fold after ovariectomy compared with sham- operated rats. The increase of pituitary OX1 receptor mRNA was inhibited by treatment with 17β-estradiol. Adrenal mRNA levels of OX2 receptors in ovariectomized rats were increased 2-fold compared with sham-operated rats and were also reduced by treatment with 17β-estradiol. In male rats, orchidectomy increased the mRNA levels of pituitary OX1 receptors compared with sham-operated rats. In contrast, adrenal OX2 receptor mRNA was reduced after orchidectomy. Testosterone treatment reversed the effect of orchidectomy on pituitary OX1 and adrenal OX2 receptors. In the hypothalamus, no differences were found in the mRNA levels of prepro-orexin, OX1, and OX2 receptors between sham-operated, placebo-treated, and steroid-treated female or male rats. Our results indicate that gonadal steroids differentially regulate pituitary OX1 receptors and adrenal OX2 receptors in male and female rats and may contribute to specific sex- dependent neuroendocrine and endocrine actions of orexins.

Orexins/hypocretins exert cardiovascular effects which are centrally mediated. In the present study, we tested whether orexins and their receptors may also act in an autocrine/paracrine manner in the heart exerting direct effects. Quantitative reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR), immunohistochemical and Western blot analyses revealed that the rat heart expresses orexins and orexin receptors (OXR). In isolated rat cardiomyocytes, only orexin-B (OR-B) caused an increase in contractile shortening, independent of diastolic or systolic calcium levels. A specific orexin receptor-2 (OX2R) agonist ([Ala11, d-Leu15]-Orexin B) exerted similar effects as OR-B, whereas a specific orexin receptor-1 (OX1R) antagonist (SB-408124) did not alter the responsiveness of OR-B. Treatment of the same model with OR-B resulted in a dose-dependent increase in myosin light chain and troponin-I (TnI) phosphorylation. Following ischaemia/reperfusion in the isolated Langendorff perfused rat heart model, OR-B, but not OR-A, exerts a cardioprotective effect; mirrored in an in vivo model as well. Unlike OR-A, OR-B was also able to induce extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 1/2 (ERK1/2) and Akt phosphorylation in rat myocardial tissue and ERK1/2 phosphorylation in human heart samples. These findings were further corroborated in an in vivo rat model. In human subjects with heart failure, there is a significant negative correlation between the expression of OX2R and the severity of the disease clinical symptoms, as assessed by the New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional classification. Collectively, we provide evidence of a distinct orexin system in the heart that exerts a cardioprotective role via an OR-B/OX2R pathway.

Abstract Two recently discovered hypothalamic peptides, orexin-A and orexin-B, play a role as mediators in the central mechanisms that regulate feeding behavior and sleep control. These peptides bind and activate two orexin receptors that belong to the G-protein coupled receptor superfamily. Morphological studies have detected mRNA expression of orexin receptors exclusively in the rat central nervous system. In this paper we demonstrate a strong level of expression of orexin receptor 1 and 2 in the adrenal medulla of the rat by RT-PCR immunohistochemistry. The results of the present study provide the first evidence showing that the adrenal medulla expresses orexin receptors, and thus appears to be a target tissue for orexins. This could open a new loop in which the central and autonomous nervous system may be involved in body weight homeostasis and sleep control.

Orexin-A and orexin-B, via their receptors orexin-1 receptor (OX1R) and orexin-2 receptor (OX2R) have been shown to play a role in the regulation of feeding, body weight, and energy expenditure. Adipose tissue also contributes significantly to the maintenance of body weight by interacting with a complex array of bioactive peptides; however, there are no data as yet on the expression of orexin components in adipose tissue. We, therefore, analyzed the expression of OX1R and OX2R in human adipose tissue and determined functional responses to orexin-A and orexin-B. OX1R and OX2R mRNA expression was detected in subcutaneous (s.c.) and omental adipose tissue and in isolated adipocytes. Protein for OX1R and OX2R was also detected in whole adipose tissue sections and lysates. Treatment with orexin-A, and orexin-B (100 nM, 24 h) resulted in a significant increase in peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors γ-2 mRNA expression in s.c. adipose tissue (P < 0.05). Hormone sensitive lipase mRNA was significantly reduced in omental adipose tissue with orexin-A and orexin-B treatment (P < 0.05). Glycerol release from omental adipose tissue was also significantly reduced with orexin-A treatment (P < 0.05). These findings demonstrate for the first time the presence of functional orexin receptors in human adipose tissue and suggest a role for orexins in adipose tissue metabolism and adipogenesis.

Orexin peptides comprise two neuropeptides, orexin A and orexin B, that bind two G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), orexin receptor 1 (OXR1) and orexin receptor 2 (OXR2). Although cell bodies that produce orexin peptides are localized in a small area comprising the lateral hypothalamus and adjacent regions, orexin-containing fibres project throughout the neuraxis. Although orexins were initially described as peptides that regulate feeding behaviour, research has shown that orexins are involved in diverse functions that range from the modulation of autonomic functions to higher cognitive functions, including reward-seeking, behaviour, attention, cognition, and mood. Furthermore, disruption in orexin signalling has been shown in mood disorders that are associated with low hedonic tone or anhedonia, including depression, anxiety, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and addiction. Notably, projections of orexin neurons overlap circuits involved in the modulation of hedonic tone. Evidence shows that orexins may potentiate hedonic behaviours by increasing the feeling of pleasure or reward to various signalling, whereas dysregulation of orexin signalling may underlie low hedonic tone or anhedonia. Further, orexin appears to play a key role in regulating behaviours in motivationally charged situations, such as food-seeking during hunger, or drug-seeking during withdrawal. Therefore, it would be expected that dysregulation of orexin expression or signalling is associated with changes in hedonic tone. Further studies investigating this association are warranted.

Abstract Orexins are hypothalamic neuropeptides primarily involved in the regulation of food intake and arousal states. In addition, a role for orexins as central neuroendocrine modulators of reproductive function has recently emerged. Prepro-orexin and orexin type-1 receptor mRNAs have been detected in the rat testis. This raises the possibility of additional peripheral actions of orexins in the control of reproductive axis, which remains so far unexplored. To analyze the biological effects and mechanisms of action of orexins in the male gonad, we evaluated testicular expression of orexin receptor 1 (OX1R) and orexin receptor 2 (OX2R) mRNAs in different experimental settings and the effect of orexin-A on testicular testosterone (T) secretion. Persistent expression of OX1R mRNA was demonstrated in the rat testis throughout postnatal development. In contrast, OX2R transcript was not detected at any developmental stage. Expression of OX1R mRNA persisted after selective elimination of mature Leydig cells and was detected in isolated seminiferous tubules at defined stages of the seminiferous epithelial cycle. In addition, testicular OX1R mRNA expression appeared to be under hormonal regulation; it was reduced by long-term hypophysectomy and partially restored by FSH replacement, whereas down-regulation was observed after exposure to increasing doses of the ligand in vitro. Moreover, OX1R mRNA expression was sensitive to neonatal imprinting by estrogen. Finally, orexin-A, in a dosedependent manner, significantly increased basal, but not human choriogonadotropin-stimulated, T secretion in vitro. A similar stimulatory effect was observed in vivo after intratesticular administration of orexin-A. In conclusion, our present results provide the first evidence for the regulated expression of OX1R mRNA and functional role of orexin-A in the rat testis. Overall, our data are suggestive of a novel site of action of orexins in the control of male reproductive axis.

Orexins, also called hypocretins, are newly discovered hypothalamic peptides that are thought to be involved in various physiological functions. In spite of the fact that orexin receptors, especially orexin receptor 2, are abundant in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN), the effects of orexins on PVN neurons remain unknown. Using a whole cell patch-clamp recording technique, we investigated the effects of orexin-B on PVN neurons of rat brain slices. Bath application of orexin-B (0.01–1.0 μM) depolarized 80.8% of type 1 ( n = 26) and 79.2% of type 2 neurons tested ( n = 24) in the PVN in a concentration-dependent manner. The effects of orexin-B persisted in the presence of TTX (1 μM), indicating that these depolarizing effects were generated postsynaptically. Addition of Cd2+(1 mM) to artificial cerebrospinal fluid containing TTX (1 μM) significantly reduced the depolarizing effect in type 2 neurons. These results suggest that orexin-B has excitatory effects on the PVN neurons mediated via a depolarization of the membrane potential.

Abstract In humans and rat, orexins orchestrate divergent actions through their G protein-coupled receptors, orexin-1 (OX1R) and orexin-2 (OX2R). Orexins also play an important physiological role in mouse, but the receptors through which they function are not characterized. To characterize the physiological role(s) of orexins in the mouse, we cloned and characterized the mouse orexin receptor(s), mOX1R and mOX2R, using rapid amplification of cDNA (mouse brain) ends, RT-PCR, and gene structure analysis. The mOX1R cDNA encodes a 416-amino acid (aa) receptor. We have identified two alternative C terminus splice variants of the mOX2R; mOX2αR (443 aa) and mOX2βR (460 aa). Binding studies in human embryonic kidney 293 cells transfected with mOX1R, mOX2αR, and the mOX2βR revealed specific, saturable sites for both orexin-A and -B. Activation of these receptors by orexins induced inositol triphosphate (IP3) turnover. However, human embryonic kidney 293 cells transfected with mOXRs demonstrated no cAMP response to either orexin-A or orexin-B challenge, although forskolin and GTPγS revealed a dose-dependent increase in cAMP. Although, orexin-A and -B showed no difference in binding characteristics between the splice variants; interestingly, orexin-B led to an increase in IP3 production at all concentrations in the mOX2βR variant. Orexin-A, however, showed no difference in IP3 production between the two variants. Additionally, in the mouse, we demonstrate that these splice variants are distributed in a tissue-specific manner, where OX2αR mRNA was undetectable in skeletal muscle and kidney. Moreover, food deprivation led to a greater increase in hypothalamic mOX2βR gene expression, compared with both mOX1R and mOX2αR. This potentially implicates a fundamental physiological role for these splice variants.

Abstract Orexin receptors play a role in regulation of sleep-wake-rhythm, food intake and energy homeostasis and they were long thought to be exclusively expressed in the nervous system. During the last years orexin receptors are being identified in a growing number of peripheral tissues. We have earlier detected orexin receptor 1 and 2 expression on human CD34+ blood stem and progenitor cells. Still, the sources of their physiological ligands, the peptides orexin A and B, seem to be restricted to the central nerve system to this date. The main downstream signaling pathways of the orexin receptors include Ca2+-dependent signaling associated with activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and extracellular signal-related kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) pathways. In an attempt to investigate if the receptors are functionally active in CD34+ stem and progenitor cells, we used live cell calcium imaging and stimulated purified CD34+ stem and progenitor cells with orexin A and B. Upon stimulation a massive intracellular calcium release was seen which could not been detected using cells preincubated with the Ca2+ chelator 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy) ethane-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetic acid (BAPTA) or the selective OX1R-Antagonist SB334867 and CD34 negative cells. Additionally, upon stimulation with orexin A and B we found ERK (1/2) activation at a maximum 3 hours following incubation with orexin A whereas no effect was seen after stimulation with orexin B. To investigate a potential impact on the functional properties of human CD34+ cells we performed proliferation and apoptosis assays, migration and adhesion assays as well as colony forming and long-term culture assays. So far, no effects of orexin stimulation on the proliferation and apoptosis of CD34+ cells were apparent. Remarkably, stimulation with orexin A and B led to a significantly higher proportion of early pluripotent hematopoietic progenitor (CFU-GEMM) colonies and a significant reduction of erythroid precursors BFU-E (burst forming unit erythrocyte) and CFU-E (colony forming unit erythrocyte). A more immature phenotype of orexin-stimulated CD34+ cells is also reflected by array-based gene expression profiling. Long-term culture assays revealed a significantly higher frequency of LTC-IC (long-term-culture initiating cells) indicating also a more immature phenotype of orexin-stimulated cells and a greater repopulating capacity. The selective orexin receptor antagonist SB-334867 abrogated these effects. No differences could be observed regarding the migration towards SDF-1 with and without stimulation with orexin A and B. Still, orexin A and B led to a decrease in the adhesive capacity of CD34+ stem and progenitor cells to fibronectin coated dishes. Since orexin receptors are coupled to inhibitory G-proteins (Gi/q) and stimulatory G-proteins (Gs) dependent on the tissue, we incubated CD34+ cells with the selective inhibitor of Gi – proteins pertussis toxin concurrently to stimulation with orexins and observed no differences in the adhesive capacity of CD34+ cells compared to the unstimulated controls suggesting coupling of the orexin receptor 1 and 2 to Gi – proteins rather than Gs-proteins in CD34+ cells. Given this functional impact of the orexin system on CD34+ cells, we asked if orexins are secreted locally in the bone marrow or autocrine by CD34+ cells or if they are humorally transported to the bone marrow cavity. Using ELISA we did not find autocrine production of orexin by CD34+ cells whereas orexin could be detected in the serum obtained by bone marrow biopsies and peripheral blood pointing rather towards a humoral delivery of orexins to CD34+ cells. Taken together, our findings indicate a functional role of the orexin system in CD34+ stem and progenitor cells.

Although starvation-induced biochemical and metabolic changes are perceived by the hypothalamus, the adrenal gland plays a key role in the integration of metabolic activity and energy balance, implicating feeding as a major synchronizer of rhythms in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Given that orexins are involved in regulating food intake and activating the HPA axis, we hypothesized that food deprivation, an acute challenge to the systems that regulate energy balance, should elicit changes in orexin receptor signaling at the hypothalamic and adrenal levels. Food deprivation induced orexin type 1 (OX1R) and 2 (OX2R) receptors at mRNA and protein levels in the hypothalamus, in addition to a fivefold increase in prepro-orexin mRNA. Cleaved peptides OR-A and OR-B are also elevated at the protein level. Interestingly, adrenal OX1R and OX2R levels were significantly reduced in food-deprived animals, whereas there was no expression of prepro-orexin in the adrenal gland in either state. Food deprivation exerted a differential effect on OXR-G protein coupling. In the hypothalamus of food deprived rats compared with controls, a significant increase in coupling of orexin receptors to Gq, Gs, and Go was demonstrated, whereas coupling to Gi was relatively less. However, in the adrenal cortex of the food-deprived animal, there was decreased coupling of orexin receptors to Gs, Go, and Gq and increased coupling to Gi. Subsequent second-messenger studies (cAMP/IP3) have supported these findings. Our data indicate that food deprivation has differential effects on orexin receptor expression and their signaling characteristics at the hypothalamic and adrenocortical levels. These findings suggest orexins as potential metabolic regulators within the HPA axis both centrally and peripherally.

Orexins A and B (ORA and ORB) are neuropeptide hormones found throughout the central nervous system and periphery. They are required for a host of physiological processes including mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) regulation, steroidogenesis, appetite control and energy regulation. While some signalling mechanisms have been proposed for individual recombinant orexin receptors in generic mammalian cell types, it is clear that the peripheral effects of orexin are spatially and temporally complex. This study dissects the different G-protein signalling and MAPK pathways activated in a pluripotent human adrenal H295R cell line capable of all the physiological steps involved in steroidogenesis. Both extracellular receptor kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) and p38 were phosphorylated rapidly with a subsequent decline, in a time- and dose-dependent manner, in response to both ORA and ORB. Conversely, there was little or no direct activation of the ERK5 or JNK pathway. Analysis using signalling and MAPK inhibitors as well as receptor-specific antagonists determined the precise mediators of the orexin response in these cells. Both ERK1/2 and p38 activation were predominantly Gq- and to a lesser extent Gs-mediated; p38 activation even had a small Gi-component. Effects were broadly comparable for both orexin sub-types ORA and ORB and although most of the effects were transmitted through the orexin receptor-1 subtype, we did observe a role for orexin receptor-2-mediated activation of both ERK1/2 and p38. Cortisol secretion also differed in response to ORA and ORB. These data suggest multiple roles for orexin-mediated MAPK activation in an adrenal cell-line, this complexity may help to explain the diverse biological actions of orexins with wide-ranging consequences for our understanding of the mechanisms initiated by these steroidogenic molecules.

Orexin is a peptide neurotransmitter released in the globus pallidus. Morphological evidence reveals that both orexin 1 receptor (OX1R) and orexin 2 receptor (OX2R) exist in the globus pallidus. Here we showed that bilateral microinjection of both orexin-A and orexin-B into the globus pallidus alleviated motor deficits in 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced parkinsonian mice. Further in vivo extracellular single-unit recording revealed that the basal spontaneous firing rate of the globus pallidus neurons in MPTP parkinsonian mice was slower than that of normal mice. Application of orexin-A or orexin-B significantly increased the spontaneous firing rate of pallidal neurons. The influx of Ca2+ through the L-type Ca2+ channel is the major mechanism involved in orexin-induced excitation in the globus pallidus. Orexin-A-induced increase in firing rate of pallidal neurons in MPTP parkinsonian mice was stronger than that of normal mice. Orexin-A exerted both electrophysiological and behavioral effects mainly via OX1R, and orexin-B exerted the effects via OX2R. Endogenous orexins modulated the excitability of globus pallidus neurons mainly through OX1R. The present behavioral and electrophysiological results suggest that orexins ameliorate parkinsonian motor deficits through increasing the spontaneous firing of globus pallidus neurons.

Abstract Introduction The orexin neuropeptide–receptor system is a central sleep and wake regulator in the brain. The two orexin receptor subtypes, OX1R and OX2R, are expressed either alone or together in all major wake-promoting brain areas. OX1R and OX2R activation by orexins causes elevation of intracellular calcium, which enhances synaptic transmission in secondary, monoaminergic wake- and arousal-promoting neurotransmitter circuits. Orexin receptor antagonists represent a novel and specific treatment of insomnia, which is different from classical therapy that more broadly inhibits brain activity via GABAA activation. Here we describe the molecular pharmacology of daridorexant, an orexin receptor antagonist which has proven highly effective in improving sleep and daytime functioning in insomnia patients. Methods Orexin-A(OxA)-induced calcium release assays in OX1R- and OX2R-expressing recombinant cell lines were applied to measure the antagonistic potency and kinetic properties of daridorexant in functional assays. Whole-cell competitive binding assays, using an orthosteric tracer were employed to determine the Ki of daridorexant. Comparisons were made with suvorexant and lemborexant. Results In OxA-induced calcium release assays with 2-h pre-incubation time, daridorexant displayed apparent Kb values of 0.5 nM (OX1R) and 0.8 nM (OX2R) with insurmountable antagonism on both receptors, demonstrating equipotent and highly effective functional inhibition of both receptor subtypes. On-target residence times of daridorexant (37oC) expressed as receptor occupancy half-lives (ROt1/2) were 4 min (OX1R) and 8 min (OX2R). In binding assays, daridorexant behaved as highly potent orthosteric antagonist. Also suvorexant behaved as dual insurmountable antagonist at OX1R/OX2R (appKb=0.7nM/1.0nM; ROt1/2=9 min/6 min) and as potent orthosteric antagonist in binding assays. Interestingly, lemborexant displayed a different interaction profile at OX1R/OX2R (appKb=13nM/0.4nM, ROt1/2<2min/<2min), i.e. it behaved as preferential OX2R antagonist with a very short on-target residence time and little insurmountability. Conclusion Daridorexant displays the desired target interaction profile of a dual, equipotent, and insurmountable antagonist of both OX1R and OX2R, which ensures equally efficient inhibition of both arousal-/wake-promoting receptor subtypes. Daridorexant′s on-target residence times are long enough to cause insurmountable inhibition, but short enough to avoid pharmacodynamic effects after drug elimination.

Abstract Abstract 4593 Orexin receptors are involved in the regulation of sleep-wake-rhythm, food intake and energy homeostasis and it was still recently believed that their expression is restricted to the nervous system. But, during the last years orexin receptors have been detected in an increasing number of peripheral tissues. We have earlier found orexin receptor 1 and 2 expression on human CD34+ hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells. Still, the sources of their physiological ligands, the peptides orexin A and B, seemed so far to be restricted to the central nerve system. Ca2+-dependent signaling and activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and extracellular signal-related kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) pathways are considered as main downstream signaling pathways of the orexin receptors. In this study, we investigated the signaling and functional role of orexin receptors in CD34+ hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells. Using confocal fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry we found that stimulation of purified CD34+ cells with orexin A and B led to an increase of the intracellular calcium concentration due to both calcium influx and calcium release from intracellular stores. Of interest, incubation with orexin reduces the SDF-1β-induced calcium influx. Furthermore orexin receptor stimulation led to a decrease of the intracellular cAMP concentration. Following orexin receptor stimulation with orexin A and B, we observed an initial increase of ERK1/2 phosphorylation up to 30 minutes upon incubation with orexin followed by a decrease at several time points up to 8 hours in comparison to the unstimulated control. To investigate a potential impact on the functional properties of human CD34+ cells we performed proliferation and apoptosis assays, migration and adhesion assays as well as colony forming and long-term culture assays. Remarkably, stimulation with orexin A and B led to a significant higher proportion of early pluripotent hematopoietic progenitor (CFU-GEMM) colonies and a significant reduction of erythroid precursors. A more immature phenotype of orexin-stimulated CD34+ cells is also reflected by array-based gene expression profiling. Long-term culture assays revealed a significant higher frequency of LTC-IC indicating also a more immature phenotype of orexin-stimulated cells. In line, orexin receptor stimulation led to a significant increase of the proportion of Lin-, CD34+, CD38- HSC in the G0-phase of the cell cycle. Furthermore, stimulation with orexin A and B increased the number of apoptotic cells in the Lin-, CD34+, CD38- HSC fraction and the total hematopoietic stem and progenitor population determined by flowcytometric analysis of intracellular cleaved caspase 3 content. The adhesive capacity of CD34+ cells to fibronectin and collagen coated dishes and the migratory capacity was significantly decreased upon orexin receptor stimulation. Concurrent incubation with the selective Gi-protein inhibitor pertussis toxin abrogated these effects. Given the functional impact of the orexin system on CD34+ cells, we asked if orexins are secreted locally in the bone marrow or autocrine by CD34+ cells or if they are humorally transported to the bone marrow cavity. Using FACS analysis, immunfluorescent staining and western blotting we could detect prepro-Orexin in CD34+ cells and using ELISA orexin was found in the serum obtained by bone marrow biopsies and peripheral blood. Taken together, the phenotype of orexin-stimulated hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells suggest a mobilizing effect of the orexin receptor stimulation as well as an increased repopulation capacity which might be of relevance in clinical stem cell mobilization and transplantation and is currently verified in murine models.

Background: The lateral hypothalamic orexin (hypocretin) system has a well-established role in the motivation for reward. This has particular relevance to substance use disorders since orexin-1 receptors play a critical role in alcohol-seeking behavior, acting at multiple nodes in relapse-associated networks. Aims: This study aimed to further our understanding of the role of orexin-1 receptor signaling within the lateral hypothalamus and bed nucleus of the stria terminalis, specifically in context-induced relapse to alcohol-seeking following punishment-imposed abstinence. Methods: We trained inbred male alcohol-preferring rats to self-administer alcohol in one environment or context (Context A) and subsequently punished their alcohol-reinforced lever presses in a different environment (Context B) using contingent foot shock punishment. Finally, we tested rats for relapse-like behavior in either context following systemic, intra-lateral hypothalamus or intra-bed nucleus of the stria terminalis orexin-1 receptor antagonism with SB-334867. Results/outcomes: We found that systemic orexin-1 receptor antagonism significantly reduced alcohol-seeking in both contexts. Intra-lateral hypothalamus orexin-1 receptor antagonism significantly reduced alcohol-seeking in Context A whereas intra-bed nucleus of the stria terminalis orexin-1 receptor antagonism had no effect on alcohol-seeking behavior. Conclusions/interpretation: Our results suggest a role for the orexin-1 receptor system in context-induced relapse to alcohol-seeking. Specifically, intra-lateral hypothalamus orexin microcircuits contribute to alcohol-seeking.

Abstract Emerging evidence attributes to orexins/hypocretins (ORs) a protective function in the regulation of cardiovascular responses, heart rate, and hypertension. However, little is known about any direct effect of orexins in the heart function. This is of special relevance considering that cardiovascular diseases, including myocardial infarction and heart failure, are one of the major causes of mortality in the world. In the article published in Clinical Science (2018) (vol. 132, 2547–2564), Patel and colleagues investigated the role of orexins in myocardial protection. Intriguingly, they revealed a source of orexin-A (OR-A) and orexin-B (OR-B) in the heart and cardiomyocytes of the rat. More interestingly, these peptides exert a direct effect on the heart rate by acting in an autocrine/paracrine manner on their respective receptors (OXRs). Indeed, OR-B, but not OR-A, by acting through orexin receptor-2 (OX2R), exerts direct cardioprotective effects in heart failure models. OR-B/OX2R signalling enhances myosin light chain (MLC) and troponin-I (TnI) phosphorylation in a dose-dependent manner, leading to an increase in the strength of their twitch contraction. This effect is mediated by extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) and Akt phosphorylation, both in the rat myocardial tissue and human heart samples. A negative correlation between OX2R expression and clinical severity of symptoms has been found in patients with heart failure. Thus, in addition to the known central effects of orexins/OX2R, the work of Patel and colleagues (Clinical Science (2018) 132, 2547–2564) reports a direct action of OR-B on the heart rate pinpointing to OX2R as a potential therapeutic target for prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease.

Aging is associated with a progressive decrease in appetite and food intake. Both A and B orexins, expressed in specific neurons of the lateral hypothalamic area, have been implicated in the regulation of sleep and feeding. In this study, the stimulatory effect of intracerebroventricular administration of the orexins on food intake was compared between young (4-mo-old) and old (25- to 27-mo-old) male Wistar rats. A stainless steel cannula was implanted stereotactically into the left lateral ventricle. After a 7-day recovery period, different doses (0–30 nmol) of orexins were injected into the left lateral ventricle without anesthesia. Food and water consumptions were measured at 1, 2, and 4 h after injection. The protein levels of orexin receptors, a specific receptor for orexin-A (OX1R) and a receptor for both orexin-A and -B (OX2R), in the hypothalamus were determined by Western blot analysis and compared between young and old rats. Intracerebroventricular administration of orexin-A stimulated food intake in a dose-dependent manner in young rats. However, no effects were observed at any dose in old rats. The protein level of OX1R in the hypothalamus was significantly lower in old rats than in young rats, although the protein level of OX2R was comparable between groups. Results of the present study indicate that the function of the orexin system is diminished in old rats. The decrease in the OX1R protein level in the hypothalamus could be responsible for orexin-A's lack of stimulation of food intake in old rats.

Hypocretin/orexin acts pharmacologically in the hypothalamus to stimulate stress hormone secretion at least in part by an action in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus, where the peptide's receptors have been localized. In addition, orexin acts in the brain to increase sympathetic tone and, therefore, mean arterial pressure and heart rate. We provide evidence for the role of endogenously produced hypocretin/orexin in the physiological response to immobilization stress and identify the receptor subtype responsible for this action of the peptide. Antagonism of the orexin type 1 receptor (OX1R) in the brain prevented the ACTH-stimulating effect of centrally administered hypocretin/orexin. Furthermore, pretreatment of animals with the OX1R antagonist blocked the ACTH response to immobilization/restraint stress. The OX1R antagonist did not, however, block the pharmacological or physiological release of prolactin in these two models. Antagonism of the OX1R also blocked the central action of orexin to elevate mean arterial pressures and heart rates in conscious rats. These data suggest receptor subtype-selective responses to hypocretin/orexin and provide further evidence for the importance of endogenously produced peptide in the physiological control of stress hormone secretion.

Presence of appetite-regulating peptides orexin-A and orexin-B in mucosal endocrine cells suggests a role in physiological control of the intestine. Our aim was to characterize orexin-induced stimulation of duodenal bicarbonate secretion and modulation of secretory responses and mucosal orexin receptors by overnight food deprivation. Lewis × Dark Agouti rats were anesthetized and proximal duodenum cannulated in situ. Mucosal bicarbonate secretion (pH stat) and mean arterial blood pressure were continuously recorded. Orexin-A was administered intra-arterially close to the duodenum, intraluminally, or into the brain ventricles. Total RNA was extracted from mucosal specimens, reverse transcribed to cDNA and expression of orexin receptors 1 and 2 (OX1 and OX2) measured by quantitative real-time PCR. OX1 protein was measured by Western blot. Intra-arterial orexin-A (60–600 nmol·h−1·kg−1) increased ( P < 0.01) the duodenal secretion in fed but not in fasted animals. The OX1 receptor antagonist SB-334867, which was also found to have a partial agonist action, abolished the orexin-induced secretory response but did not affect secretion induced by the muscarinic agonist bethanechol. Atropine, in contrast, inhibited bethanechol but not orexin-induced secretion. Orexin-A infused into the brain ventricles (2–20 nmol·kg−1·h−1) or added to luminal perfusate (1.0–100 nM) did not affect secretion, indicating that orexin-A acts peripherally and at basolateral receptors. Overnight fasting decreased mucosal OX1 and OX2 mRNA expression ( P < 0.01) as well as OX1 protein expression ( P < 0.05). We conclude that stimulation of secretion by orexin-A may involve both receptor types and is independent of cholinergic pathways. Intestinal OX receptors and secretory responses are markedly related to food intake.

Abstract Orexins are neuropeptides that express primarily in the hypothalamus and are produced in two isoforms, orexin A and orexin B. There are two kinds of G protein coupled receptors, orexin type 1 (OX1R) and type 2 (OX2R) receptors. Orexin has been reported to have key roles on sleep-wake regulation and feeding behavior in the central nervous system, whereas its receptors are also expressed in peripheral tissues including the endocrine organs, and orexin affects the regulation of the endocrine system. In our previous experiments, we have revealed the impact of orexins on anterior pituitary functions. For instance, we reported that orexin A plays an inhibitory role in prolactin production through the suppression of endogenous bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) activity in rat pituitary lactotrope GH3 cells. It was also reported that orexin A enhances pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) transcription by upregulating corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) receptor signaling and by downregulating BMP-Smad signaling in mouse corticotope AtT20 cells. However, the effects of orexin on the endocrine function regarding gonadotrope cells remain unclear. We have recently uncovered that core clock genes and BMPs have mutual effects on luteinizing hormone (LH) expression in a phase-dependent manner by mouse gonadotrope LβT2 cells. In the present study, we investigated the effect of orexin on pituitary gonadotropin expression using LβT2 cells, which express OX1R and OX2R, by focusing on the functional involvement of BMP system and clock genes. It was revealed that orexin A stimulation increased LHβ and FSHβ mRNA expression in a concentration-responsive manner in the absence of GnRH, and interestingly, GnRH co-treatment further upregulated LHβ mRNA expression in LβT2 cells. Regarding the interrelationships between the signalings of orexin and BMPs, it was also revealed that orexin A pretreatment enhanced the BMP receptor signaling detected as the Smad1/5/9 phosphorylation, indicating that orexin enables to upregulate the BMP actions in LβT2 cells. In our previous studies, we reported that several BMP ligands such as BMP-6, -7 and 15 expressed in LβT2 cells can promote gonadotropin transcription, in which BMP-6 regulates GnRH-stimulated LH expression by modulating the sensitivity to somatostatin analogs. Based on the present results, it was implied that endogenous orexin can be functionally involved in the underlying mechanisms of gonadotropin expression. Collectively, orexin enhances gonadotropin expression by regulating BMP signaling in gonadotrope cells. Here, we will also discuss functional involvement of clock genes in the regulatory system of gonadotropin secretion induced by orexin and BMPs. Presentation: No date and time listed

Orexins (hypocretins) are recently discovered excitatory transmitters implicated in arousal and sleep. Yet, their ionic and signal transduction mechanisms have not been fully clarified. Here we show that orexins suppress G-protein–coupled inward rectifier (GIRK) channel activity, and this suppression is likely to lead to neuronal excitation. Cultured neurons from the locus coeruleus (LC) and the nucleus tuberomammillaris (TM) were used, as well as HEK293A cells transfected with GIRK1 and 2, either human orexin receptor type 1 (OX1R) or type 2 (OX2R), mu opioid receptor and GFP cDNAs. In GTPγS-loaded cells, orexin A (OXA, 3 μM) inhibited GIRK currents that had previously been activated by somatostatin (in LC cells), nociceptin (TM cells), or the mu opioid agonist DAMGO (HEK cells). In guanosine triphosphate (GTP)–loaded HEK cells, in which GIRK currents were not preactivated, OXA induced a biphasic response through both types of orexin receptors: an initial current increase and a subsequent decrease to below resting levels. Current–voltage (I–V) relationships revealed that both the OXA-induced and suppressed currents are inwardly rectifying with reversal potentials around E K. The OXA-induced initial current was partially pertussis toxin (PTX) sensitive and partially PTX insensitive, whereas the OXA-suppressed current was PTX insensitive. These data suggest that orexin receptors couple with more than one type of G-protein, including PTX-sensitive (such as Gi/o) and PTX-insensitive (such as Gq/11) G-proteins. The modulation of GIRK channels by orexins may be one of the cellular mechanisms for the regulation of brain nuclei (e.g., LC and TM) that are crucial for arousal, sleep, and appetite.

Wen-Dan Decoction (WDD), a formula of traditional Chinese medicine, has been clinically used for treating insomnia for approximately 800 years. However, the therapeutic mechanisms of WDD remain unclear. Orexin-A plays a key role in the sleep-wake cycle, while leptin function is opposite to orexin-A. Thus, orexin-A and leptin may be important factors in sleep disorders. In this study, 48 rats were divided into control, model, WDD-treated, and diazepam-treated groups. The model of insomnia was produced by sleep deprivation (SD) for 14 days. The expressions of orexin-A, leptin, and their receptors in blood serum, prefrontal cortex, and hypothalamus were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, immunohistochemistry, and real time PCR. Open field tests showed that SD increased both crossing movement (Cm) and rearing-movement (Rm) times. Orexin-A and leptin levels in blood serum increased after SD but decreased in brain compared to the control group. mRNA expressions of orexin receptor 1 and leptin receptor after SD were decreased in the prefrontal cortex but were increased in hypothalamus. WDD treatment normalized the behavior and upregulated orexin-A, leptin, orexin receptor 1 and leptin receptor in brain. The findings suggest that WDD treatment may regulate SD-induced negative emotions by regulating orexin-A and leptin expression.

The two recently isolated hypothalamic peptides orexin A and orexin B, also known as hypocretin 1 and 2, are reported to be important signaling molecules in feeding and sleep/wakefulness. Orexin-containing neurons in the lateral hypothalamus project to numerous areas of the rat brain and spinal cord including the intermediolateral cell column (IML) of the thoracolumbar spinal cord. An in vivo and in vitro study was undertaken to evaluate the hypothesis that orexins, acting on sympathetic preganglionic neurons (SPNs) in the rat spinal cord, increase sympathetic outflow. First, orexin A (0.3, 1, and 10 nmol) by intrathecal injection increased mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) by an average of 5, 18, and 30 mmHg and 10, 42, and 85 beats/min in urethane-anesthetized rats. Intrathecal injection of saline had no significant effects. Orexin B (3 nmol) by intrathecal administration increased MAP and HR by an average of 11 mmHg and 40 beats/min. The pressor effects of orexin A were attenuated by prior intrathecal injection of orexin A antibodies (1:500 dilution) but not by normal serum albumin. Intravenous administration of the α1-adrenergic receptor antagonist prazosin (0.5 mg/kg) or the β-adrenergic receptor antagonist propranolol (0.5 mg/kg) markedly diminished, respectively, the orexin A-induced increase of MAP and HR. Second, whole cell patch recordings were made from antidromically identified SPNs of spinal cord slices from 12- to 16-day-old rats. Superfusion of orexin A or orexin B (100 or 300 nM) excited 12 of 17 SPNs, as evidenced by a membrane depolarization and/or increase of neuronal discharges. Orexin A- or B-induced depolarizations persisted in TTX (0.5 μM)-containing Krebs solution, indicating that the peptide acted directly on SPNs. Results from our in vivo and in vitro studies together with the previous observation of the presence of orexin A-immunoreactive fibers in the IML suggest that orexins, when released within the IML, augment sympathetic outflow by acting directly on SPNs.

Orexins A and B are two hypothalamic peptides that increase food intake and body weight and probably play a role in the sleep regulation. They act through two subtypes of G protein-coupled receptors, called OX1-R and OX2-R. OX1-R selectively binds orexin-A, whereas OX2-R is nonselective for both orexins. Orexins did not affect the in vitro secretion of either catecholamine or aldosterone from human adrenals. Conversely, orexin A, but not orexin B, concentration dependently increased basal cortisol secretion from dispersed adrenocortical cells; the maximal effective concentration was 10−8 mol/L. Orexin A (10−8 mol/L) enhanced the cortisol response to maximal effective concentrations (10−9 mol/L) of angiotensin II and endothelin-1, but only to low concentrations of ACTH (10−12/10−11 mol/L). Orexin A (10−8 mol/L) increased basal cAMP release by dispersed adrenocortical cells, and the effect was blocked by the adenylate cyclase inhibitor SQ-22536. The cortisol response to 10−8 mol/L orexin A was unaffected by the ACTH receptor antagonist corticotropin-inhibiting peptide, but was abolished by either SQ-22536 or the protein kinase A inhibitor H-89. RT-PCR demonstrated high levels of OX1-R messenger ribonucleic acid and very low levels of OX2-R messenger ribonucleic acid in human adrenal zona fasciculata-reticularis and adrenal medulla. Collectively, our findings suggest that orexins selectively stimulate glucocorticoid secretion from human adrenocortical cells, acting through OX1-R coupled with the adenylate cyclase-dependent signaling pathway.

Orexins are neuropeptides that activate the rhodopsin-like G protein-coupled receptors OX1R and OX2R. The orexin system plays an important role in the regulation of the sleep-wake cycle and the regulation of feeding and emotions. The nonselective orexin receptor antagonist suvorexant has been the first drug on the market targeting the orexin system and is prescribed for the treatment of insomnia. Subtype-selective OX1R antagonists are valuable tools to further investigate the functions and physiological role of the OX1R in vivo and promising lead compounds for the treatment of drug addiction, anxiety, pain or obesity. Starting from the OX1R and OX2R crystal structures bound to suvorexant, we exploited a single amino acid difference in the orthosteric binding site by using molecular docking and structure-based drug design to optimize ligand interactions with the OX1R while introducing repulsive interactions with the OX2R. A newly established enantiospecific synthesis provided ligands showing up to 75-fold selectivity for the OX1R over the OX2R subtype. The structure of a new OX1R antagonist with subnanomolar affinity (JH112) was determined by crystallography in complex with the OX1R and corresponded closely to the docking-predicted geometry. JH112 exhibits high selectivity over a panel of different GPCRs, is able to cross the blood–brain barrier and acts as slowly diffusing and insurmountable antagonist for Gqprotein activation and in particular β-arrestin-2 recruitment at OX1R. This study demonstrates the potential of structure-based drug design to develop more subtype-selective GPCR ligands with potentially reduced side effects and provides an attractive probe molecule and lead compound.

Orexin is expressed mainly in the hypothalamus and is known to activate the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis that is involved in various stress responses and its resilience. However, the effects of orexin on the endocrine function of pituitary corticotrope cells remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the roles of orexin A in pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) transcription using mouse corticotrope AtT20 cells, focusing on the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) system expressed in the pituitary. Regarding the receptors for orexin, type 2 (OXR2) rather than type 1 (OX1R) receptor mRNA was predominantly expressed in AtT20 cells. It was found that orexin A treatment enhanced POMC expression, induced by corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) stimulation through upregulation of CRH receptor type-1 (CRHR1). Orexin A had no direct effect on the POMC transcription suppressed by BMP-4 treatment, whereas it suppressed Smad1/5/9 phosphorylation and Id-1 mRNA expression induced by BMP-4. It was further revealed that orexin A had no significant effect on the expression levels of type I and II BMP receptors but upregulated inhibitory Smad6/7 mRNA and protein levels in AtT20 cells. The results demonstrated that orexin A upregulated CRHR signaling and downregulated BMP-Smad signaling, leading to an enhancement of POMC transcription by corticotrope cells.

To know the processes involved in feeding, the dysregulation of hypothalamic neuropeptides promoting anorexigenic/orexigenic mechanisms must be investigated. Many neuropeptides are involved in this behavior and in overweight/obesity. Current pharmacological strategies for the treatment of obesity are unfortunately not very effective and, hence, new therapeutic strategies must be investigated and developed. Due to the crucial role played by orexins in feeding behavior, the aim of this review is to update the involvement of the orexinergic system in this behavior. The studies performed in experimental animal models and humans and the relationships between the orexinergic system and other substances are mentioned and discussed. Promising research lines on the orexinergic system are highlighted (signaling pathways, heterogeneity of the hypothalamic orexinergic neurons, receptor-receptor interaction, and sex differences). Each of the orexin 1 and 2 receptors plays a unique role in energy metabolism, exerting a differential function in obesity. Additional preclinical/clinical studies must be carried out to demonstrate the beneficial effects mediated by orexin receptor antagonists. Because therapies applied are in general ineffective when they are directed against a single target, the best option for successful anti-obesity treatments is the development of combination therapies as well as the development of new and more specific orexin receptor antagonists.

The hypocretin/orexins (Hcrts/ORXs) are peptides produced in neurons in the lateral hypothalamic area that project to neuroendocrine centers in the hypothalamus. Hcrt/ORX receptors are present in the hypothalamus and anterior pituitary gland. We examined the possibility that the Hcrts/ORXs, which we have demonstrated previously to act in the brain to stimulate sympathetic function, could alter stress hormone secretion by a direct pituitary action. In vitro studies revealed a dose-related inhibitory effect of the Hcrts/ORXs on corticotropin-releasing hormone-stimulated ACTH secretion that appeared to be mediated via the orexin-1 receptor and to be expressed at doses (threshold dose 1 nM orexin A) similar to the affinity constant for the receptor. The effect was not due to abrogation of the cAMP response of the corticotroph to corticotropin-releasing hormone and was not pertussis toxin sensitive, suggesting a non-Gi-mediated mechanism. Instead, a Gq-mediated signaling mechanism was indicated by the ability of protein kinase C blockade with calphostin C to reverse the inhibitory action of orexin A. Orexin A and orexin B did not significantly alter basal ACTH secretion in vitro and did not alter basal or releasing factor-stimulated secretion of luteinizing hormone, prolactin, thyroid-stimulating hormone or growth hormone from cells harvested from male or random-cycle female donors. Our data suggest a direct, pituitary action of the Hcrts/ORXs to modulate the endocrine response to stress and identify the potential cellular mechanism of a unique biological action of the peptides in the anterior pituitary gland.

Disrupted sleep is associated with increased risk of type 2 diabetes. Central actions of orexin, mediated by orexin-1 and orexin-2 receptors, play a crucial role in the maintenance of wakefulness; accordingly, excessive activation of the orexin system causes insomnia. Resting-phase administration of dual orexin receptor antagonist (DORA) has been shown to improve sleep abnormalities and glucose intolerance in type 2 diabetic db/db mice, although the mechanism remains unknown. In the present study, to investigate the presence of functional link between sleep and glucose metabolism, the influences of orexin antagonists with or without sleep-promoting effects were compared on glucose metabolism in diabetic mice. In db/db mice, 2-SORA-MK1064 (an orexin-2 receptor antagonist) and DORA-12 (a DORA) acutely improved non-rapid eye movement sleep, whereas 1-SORA-1 (an orexin-1 receptor antagonist) had no effect. Chronic resting-phase administration of these drugs improved glucose intolerance, without affecting body weight, food intake, locomotor activity and energy expenditure calculated from O2 consumption and CO2 production. The expression levels of proinflammatory factors in the liver were reduced by 2-SORA-MK1064 and DORA-12, but not 1-SORA-1, whereas those in the white adipose tissue were reduced by 1-SORA-1 and DORA-12 more efficiently than 2-SORA-MK1064. When administered chronically at awake phase, these drugs caused no effect. In streptozotocin-induced type 1-like diabetic mice, neither abnormality in sleep–wake behavior nor improvement of glucose intolerance by these drugs were observed. These results suggest that both 1-SORA-type (sleep-independent) and 2-SORA-type (possibly sleep-dependent) mechanisms can provide chronotherapeutic effects against type 2 diabetes associated with sleep disturbances in db/db mice.

Orexin plays a key role in the regulation of sleep and wakefulness and in feeding behavior in the central nervous system, but its receptors are expressed in various peripheral tissues including endocrine tissues. In the present study, we elucidated the effects of orexin on pituitary gonadotropin regulation by focusing on the functional involvement of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) and clock genes using mouse gonadotrope LβT2 cells that express orexin type 1 (OX1R) and type 2 (OX2R) receptors. Treatments with orexin A enhanced LHβ and FSHβ mRNA expression in a dose-dependent manner in the absence of GnRH, whereas orexin A in turn suppressed GnRH-induced gonadotropin expression in LβT2 cells. Orexin A downregulated GnRH receptor expression, while GnRH enhanced OX1R and OX2R mRNA expression. Treatments with orexin A as well as GnRH increased the mRNA levels of Bmal1 and Clock, which are oscillational regulators for gonadotropin expression. Of note, treatments with BMP-6 and -15 enhanced OX1R and OX2R mRNA expression with upregulation of clock gene expression. On the other hand, orexin A enhanced BMP receptor signaling of Smad1/5/9 phosphorylation through upregulation of ALK-2/BMPRII among the BMP receptors expressed in LβT2 cells. Collectively, the results indicate that orexin regulates gonadotropin expression via clock gene expression by mutually interacting with GnRH action and the pituitary BMP system in gonadotrope cells.

Background Cholinergic arousal system plays an important role in the maintenance of consciousness. The authors investigated whether the intrabasalis injection of orexin-A or orexin-B and the electrically stimulated pedunculopontine tegmentum nuclei (PPTg: the origin of cholinergic ascending pathways) may alter acetylcholine efflux and electroencephalographic activity in the somatosensory cortex in relation to the orexinergic system in isoflurane-anesthetized rats. Methods Either orexin-A (10, 30, or 100 pmol) or orexin-B (10, 30, or 100 pmol) (n = 6 each) was injected into the basal forebrain while the electroencephalogram was measured during 1.0 minimum alveolar concentration (1.2%) isoflurane anesthesia. Injection of Ringer's solution was used as a control. The PPTg was electrically stimulated twice with the following conditions: 1-s stimulus train (0.2 ms, 100 Hz, 400 microA) per min for 20 min. Twenty minutes before the second PPTg stimulation, Ringer's solution or 20 microg SB334867, an orexin-1 receptor antagonist (n = 5 each) was injected into the basal forebrain. Results Injection of orexin-A (30 and 100 pmol) and orexin-B (100 pmol) significantly increased the acetylcholine efflux in the somatosensory cortex (P < 0.05). Injection of orexin-A (10, 30, 100 pmol) and orexin-B (30, 100 pmol) changed the burst and suppression patterns to arousal electroencephalogram. Compared with orexin-B, injection of a lower dose of orexin-A induced increase in the acetylcholine efflux and arousal electroencephalogram. SB334867 significantly attenuated the increases in the acetylcholine efflux and electroencephalographic activation evoked by PPTg stimulation. Conclusion The authors demonstrated that orexin-A was more potent than orexin-B in producing alteration of cholinergic basal forebrain neuronal activity and that the cortical activation induced by the PPTg stimulation against isoflurane anesthesia may be mediated through the orexin-1 receptors in the basal forebrain.

Orexins regulate food intake, arousal, and the sleep-wake cycle. They are synthesized by neurons in the lateral hypothalamus and project to autonomic areas in the hindbrain. Orexin A applied to the dorsal surface of the medulla stimulates gastric acid secretion via a vagally mediated pathway. We tested the hypothesis that orexins in the dorsal motor nucleus (DMN) of the vagus regulate gastric motor function. Multibarelled micropipette assemblies were used to administer vehicle, l-glutamate, orexins A (1 and 10 pmol) and B (10 pmol), and a dye marker into this site in anesthetized rats. When the pipette was positioned in the DMN rostral to the obex (where excitation of neurons by l-glutamate evoked an increase in contractility), orexins A and B increased intragastric pressure and antral motility. In contrast, 10 pmol orexin A microinjected into the DMN caudal to the obex (wherel-glutamate evokes gastric relaxation through a vagal inhibitory pathway) did not significantly alter gastric motor function. In separate immunocytochemical studies, orexin receptor 1 was highly expressed in neurons in the DMN. Specifically, it was present in retrogradely labeled preganglionic neurons in the DMN that innervate the stomach. These data are consistent with the idea that orexin A stimulates vagal excitatory motor neurons. These are the first data to suggest that orexins in the DMN have potent and long-lasting effects to increase gastric contractility.

Here we show that central administration of pyroglutamylated arginine-phenylamine-amide peptide (QRFP/26RFa) increases both food intake and locomotor activity, without any significant effect on energy expenditure, thermogenesis or reward. Germline knock out of either of the mouse QRFP receptor orthologs, Gpr103a and Gpr103b, did not produce a metabolic phenotype. However, both receptors are required for the effect of centrally administered QRFP to increase feeding and locomotor activity. As central injection of QRFP activated orexin/hypocretin neurons in the lateral hypothalamus, we compared the action of QRFP and orexin on behaviour. Both peptides increased arousal and locomotor activity. However, while orexin increased consummatory behaviour, QRFP also affected other appetitive behaviours. Furthermore, the feeding but not the locomotor response to QRFP, was blocked by co-administration of an orexin receptor 1 antagonist. These results suggest that QRFP agonism induces both appetitive and consummatory behaviour, but only the latter is dependent on orexin/hypocretin receptor signalling.

Adequate pain management remains an unmet medical need. We previously revealed an opioid-independent analgesic mechanism mediated by orexin 1 receptor (OX1R)-initiated 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) signaling in the ventrolateral periaqueductal gray (vlPAG). Here, we found that low-frequency median nerve stimulation (MNS) through acupuncture needles at the PC6 (Neiguan) acupoint (MNS-PC6) induced an antinociceptive effect that engaged this mechanism. In mice, MNS-PC6 reduced acute thermal nociceptive responses and neuropathy-induced mechanical allodynia, increased the number of c-Fos–immunoreactive hypothalamic orexin neurons, and led to higher orexin A and lower GABA levels in the vlPAG. Such responses were not seen in mice with PC6 needle insertion only or electrical stimulation of the lateral deltoid, a nonmedian nerve-innervated location. Directly stimulating the surgically exposed median nerve also increased vlPAG orexin A levels. MNS-PC6–induced antinociception (MNS-PC6-IA) was prevented by proximal block of the median nerve with lidocaine as well as by systemic or intravlPAG injection of an antagonist of OX1Rs or cannabinoid 1 receptors (CB1Rs) but not by opioid receptor antagonists. Systemic blockade of OX1Rs or CB1Rs also restored vlPAG GABA levels after MNS-PC6. A cannabinoid (2-AG)-dependent mechanism was also implicated by the observations that MNS-PC6-IA was prevented by intravlPAG inhibition of 2-AG synthesis and was attenuated inCnr1−/−mice. These findings suggest that PC6-targeting low-frequency MNS activates hypothalamic orexin neurons, releasing orexins to induce analgesia through a CB1R-dependent cascade mediated by OX1R-initiated 2-AG retrograde disinhibition in the vlPAG. The opioid-independent characteristic of MNS-PC6–induced analgesia may provide a strategy for pain management in opioid-tolerant patients.

Close intra-arterial infusion of the appetite regulating peptide orexin-A stimulates bicarbonate secretion from the duodenal mucosa. The aim of the present study was to elucidate the ability of orexin-A to induce intracellular calcium signaling in acutely isolated duodenal enterocytes. Freshly isolated clusters of enterocytes, obtained from rat duodenal mucosa or human duodenal biopsies, were loaded with fura 2-AM and mounted in a perfusion chamber. Cryptlike enterocytes were selected (caged), and changes in intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) were evaluated by fluorescence imaging. Total RNA was extracted from pellets of enterocytes and reverse transcribed to cDNA, and expression of orexin receptors 1 and 2 (OX1R and OX2R) was measured by quantitative real-time PCR. Orexin-A at all concentrations tested (1–100 nM) increased [Ca2+]i in enterocytes isolated from continuously fed rats, and the OX1R-antagonist SB-334867 (10 nM) attenuated the response. The primary [Ca2+]i response was a slow increase to a sustained plateau persisting after orexin-A removal, and a similar response was observed in enterocytes from human biopsies. In contrast to orexin-A, the OX2R agonist (Ala11,d-Leu15)-orexin-B (1–10 nM) did not induce calcium signaling. There were no significant [Ca2+]i responses in enterocytes from animals food deprived overnight, and overnight fasting decreased ( P < 0.01) enterocyte OX1R as well as OX2R mRNA. Induction of intracellular calcium signaling in isolated duodenal enterocytes is thus mediated primarily by OX1R receptors. Short (overnight) food deprivation markedly depresses receptor expression and inhibits orexin-A induced increases in [Ca2+]i. Studies of enterocyte signaling and intestinal secretion requires particular evaluation regarding feeding status.

Abstract Introduction The orexin system plays a pivotal role in regulating sleep and wakefulness, thus, orexin receptors (OX1 and OX2 receptors) have gained much attention as promising therapeutic targets for the treatment of insomnia. We synthesized a novel and potent dual orexin receptor antagonist (DORA), ORN0829 (investigation code name as TS-142), which was designed to have short-acting effects. Here we report pharmacological and pharmacokinetic profiles of ORN0829 in rats. Methods The antagonistic activities of ORN0829 were assessed using calcium mobilization assays. Ala-orexin A-induced [Ca2+]i response was measured with CHO-K1 cells stably expressing human/rat orexin receptor. Rats implanted the EEG/EMG electrodes were orally administrated ORN0829 at doses of 1, 3 or 10 mg/kg at the dark onset and sleep-wake stages were inspected visually. In addition, pharmacokinetic profiles of ORN0829 were investigated in rats. Results ORN0829 inhibited Ala-orexin A-increased [Ca2+]i response with a Kb of 0.67/0.44 nmol/L (for human/rat OX1 receptor), and with a Kb of 0.84/0.80 nmol/L (for human/rat OX2 receptor), respectively, indicating that ORN0829 is a potent DORA with no species differences. ORN0829 dose-dependently increased total sleep time and reduced sleep onset latency at doses of 1, 3 and 10 mg/kg. Importantly, the ORN0829 levels in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid rapidly reached a maximum concentration, and decreased with an elimination half-life of less than 1 h. Conclusion The present study indicates that ORN0829 is a novel and potent DORA with sleep-promoting effects, and that it exhibits ideal pharmacokinetic profiles (rapid absorption and short half-life) in rats. A phase 2a study of TS-142 using patients with insomnia has been completed, which is presented in a separate poster. Support Taisho Pharmaceutical. Co., Ltd.
