AbstractSecretin (Sct) is released into the circulation postprandially from the duodenal S-cells. The major functions of Sct originated from the gastrointestinal system are to delay gastric emptying, stimulate fluid secretion from pancreas and liver, and hence optimize the digestion process. In recent years, Sct and its receptor (Sctr) have been identified in discrete nuclei of the hypothalamus, including the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) and the arcuate nucleus (Arc). These nuclei are the primary brain sites that are engaged in regulating body energy homeostasis, thus providing anatomical evidence to support a functional role of Sct in appetite control. In this study, the effect of Sct on feeding behavior was investigated using wild-type (wt), Sct -/-, and secretin receptor-deficient (Sctr -/-) mice. We found that both central and peripheral administration of Sct could induce Fos expression in the PVN and Arc, suggesting the activation of hypothalamic feeding centers by this peptide. Consistent with this notion, Sct was found to increase thyrotropin-releasing hormone and melanocortin-4 receptor (Mc4r) transcripts in the PVN, and augment proopiomelanocortin, but reduces agouti-related protein mRNA expression in the Arc. Injection of Sct was able to suppress food intake in wt mice, but not in Sctr -/- mice, and that this effect was abolished upon pretreatment with SHU9119, an antagonist for Mc4r. In summary, our data suggest for the first time that Sct is an anorectic peptide, and that this function is mediated by the melanocortin system. © 2011 American College of Neuropsychopharmacology.
