dc.description.abstractObesity promotes endothelial dysfunction. Endothelial cells not only respond, but possibly actively promote the development of obesity and metabolic dysfunction. Our aim was to characterize the role of endothelial leptin receptors (LepR) for endothelial and whole body metabolism and diet-induced obesity. Mice with tamoxifen-inducible, Tie2.Cre-ERT2-mediated deletion of LepR in endothelial cells (End.LepR knockout, KO) were fed high-fat diet (HFD) for 16 weeks. Body weight gain, serum leptin levels, visceral adiposity and adipose tissue inflammation were more pronounced in obese End.LepR-KO mice, whereas fasting serum glucose and insulin levels or the extent of hepatic steatosis did not differ. Reduced brain endothelial transcytosis of exogenous leptin, increased food intake and total energy balance were observed in End.LepR-KO mice and accompanied by brain perivascular macrophage accumulation, whereas physical activity, energy expenditure and respiratory exchange rates did not differ. Metabolic flux analysis revealed no changes in the bioenergetic profile of endothelial cells from brain or visceral adipose tissue, but higher glycolysis and mitochondrial respiration rates in those isolated from lungs. Our findings support a role for endothelial LepRs in the transport of leptin into the brain and neuronal control of food intake, and also suggest organ-specific changes in endothelial cell, but not whole-body metabolism.en_GB
