From the Leptin is an adipocyte-derived hormone with
potent weight reducing effects. Genetically obese rodents with
mutations of leptin or the leptin receptor are defective in leptin
signaling and develop morbid obesity and diabetes. Interestingly, the
levels of both leptin mRNA and protein are increased by up to
20-fold in these animals, suggesting the existence of a feedback
mechanism controlling the amount of leptin in circulation. In this
report, we attempted to determine whether the up-regulation of
circulating leptin in Zucker Diabetic Fatty rats, which are
nonresponsive to leptin due to a receptor point mutation, is entirely
due to increased expression of leptin. We demonstrate that the high
level of circulating leptin in these rats is attributable to at least
two factors: increased leptin expression by the adipose tissue and
delayed clearance of leptin from circulation due to binding to its
soluble receptor. The latter conclusion was supported by three lines of evidence: 1) The soluble leptin receptor is up-regulated by about 20-fold in Zucker Diabetic Fatty rats; 2) Adenovirus-mediated overexpression of the soluble leptin receptor results in a similar -fold increase of circulating leptin; 3) In ob/ob mice,
which have no endogenous leptin, exogenously administered leptin
reaches a higher level when the soluble leptin receptor is
overexpressed. The weight-reducing effect of leptin is enhanced in
C57Bl/6 ob/ob mice with overexpression of the soluble
leptin receptor. Soluble leptin receptor may be a significant factor
determining the amount of total leptin in circulation.
