Dual regulation of leptin secretion: intracellular energy and calcium dependence of regulated pathway

Rodent leptin is secreted by adipocytes and acutely regulates appetite and chronically regulates body weight. Mechanisms for leptin secretion in cultured adipocytes were investigated. Acutely, energy-producing substrates stimulated leptin secretion about twofold. Biologically inert carbohydrates failed to stimulate leptin secretion, and depletion of intracellular energy inhibited leptin release. There appears to be a correlation between intracellular ATP concentration and the rate of leptin secretion. Insulin increased leptin secretion by an additional 25%. Acute leptin secretion is calcium dependent. When incubated in the absence of calcium or in the presence of intracellular calcium chelators, glucose plus insulin failed to stimulate leptin secretion. In contrast, basal leptin secretion is secreted spontaneously and is calcium independent. Adipocytes from fatter animals secrete more leptin, even in the absence of calcium, compared with cells from thinner animals. Acute stimulus-secretion coupling mechanisms were then investigated. The potassium channel activator diazoxide and the nonspecific calcium channel blockers nickel and cadmium inhibited acute leptin secretion. These studies demonstrate that intracellular energy production is important for acute leptin secretion and that potassium and calcium flux may play roles in coupling intracellular energy production to leptin secretion.
