Résumé

Hypothalamic AgRP/NPY neurons are key players in the control of feeding behaviour. Ghrelin, a major orexigenic hormone, activates AgRP/NPY neurons to stimulate food intake and adiposity. However, cell-autonomous ghrelin-dependent signalling mechanisms in AgRP/NPY neurons remain poorly defined. Here we show that calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase ID (CaMK1D), a genetic hot spot in type 2 diabetes, is activated upon ghrelin stimulation and acts in AgRP/NPY neurons to mediate ghrelin-dependent food intake. Global Camk1d-knockout male mice are resistant to ghrelin, gain less body weight and are protected against high-fat-diet-induced obesity. Deletion of Camk1d in AgRP/NPY, but not in POMC, neurons is sufficient to recapitulate above phenotypes. In response to ghrelin, lack of CaMK1D attenuates phosphorylation of CREB and CREB-dependent expression of the orexigenic neuropeptides AgRP/NPY in fibre projections to the paraventricular nucleus (PVN). Hence, CaMK1D links ghrelin action to transcriptional control of orexigenic neuropeptide availability in AgRP neurons.
