It is therefore critical to understand the physiological and pathophysiological mechanisms underlying metabolic disease, to drive the development of effective therapeutics. Whilst the majority of research over the past few decades has focused on neurons in the hypothalamus, there is growing evidence that non-neuronal glial cells in this region play a substantial role in regulating metabolism. Here, we provide an overview of the current dogmatic view of the neuroendocrine axis governing metabolism and update this neuron-centric view to include emerging evidence implicating glial cells including tanycytes, astrocytes, microglia, and oligodendrocyte lineage cells. We discuss the latest research implicating glia in hormone transport and hypothalamic inflammation, highlighting these cells as key contributors to metabolic control and dysfunction.

It is therefore critical to understand the physiological and pathophysiological mechanisms underlying metabolic disease, to drive the development of effective therapeutics. Whilst the majority of research over the past few decades has focused on neurons in the hypothalamus, there is growing evidence that non-neuronal glial cells in this region play a substantial role in regulating metabolism. Here, we provide an overview of the current dogmatic view of the neuroendocrine axis governing metabolism and update this neuron-centric view to include emerging evidence implicating glial cells including tanycytes, astrocytes, microglia, and oligodendrocyte lineage cells. We discuss the latest research implicating glia in hormone transport and hypothalamic inflammation, highlighting these cells as key contributors to metabolic control and dysfunction. Glial cells therefore offer new cellular and molecular targets for future therapeutic design, to tackle metabolic disease treatment from a new perspective.</p></div></div></section> <noscript> </noscript> <section aria-labelledby="inline-recommendations" data-title="Inline Recommendations" class="c-article-recommendations" data-track-component="inline-recommendations"> <h3 class="c-article-recommendations-title" id="inline-recommendations">Similar content being viewed by others</h3> <div class="c-article-recommendations-list"> <div class="c-article-recommendations-list__item"> <article class="c-article-recommendations-card" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/ScholarlyArticle"> <div class="c-article-recommendations-card__img"><img src="https://media.springernature.com/w215h120/springer-static/image/art%3A10.1038%2Fs41467-020-17720-5/MediaObjects/41467_2020_17720_Fig1_HTML.png" loading="lazy" alt=""></div> <div class="c-article-recommendations-card__main"> <h3 class="c-article-recommendations-card__heading" itemprop="name headline"> <a class="c-article-recommendations-card__link" itemprop="url" href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-020-17720-5?fromPaywallRec=false" data-track="select_recommendations_1" data-track-context="inline recommendations" data-track-action="click recommendations inline - 1" data-track-label="10.1038/s41467-020-17720-5">Transcriptomic analysis links diverse hypothalamic cell types to fibroblast growth factor 1-induced sustained diabetes remission </a> </h3> <div class="c-article-meta-recommendations" data-test="recommendation-info"> <span class="c-article-meta-recommendations__item-type">Article</span> <span class="c-article-meta-recommendations__access-type">Open access</span> <span class="c-article-meta-recommendations__date">07 September 2020</span> </div> </div> </article> </div> <div class="c-article-recommendations-list__item"> <article class="c-article-recommendations-card" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/ScholarlyArticle"> <div class="c-article-recommendations-card__img"><img src="https://media.springernature.com/w215h120/springer-static/image/art%3A10.1038%2Fs42255-022-00610-z/MediaObjects/42255_2022_610_Fig1_HTML.png" loading="lazy" alt=""></div> <div class="c-article-recommendations-card__main"> <h3 class="c-article-recommendations-card__heading" itemprop="name headline"> <a class="c-article-recommendations-card__link" itemprop="url" href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s42255-022-00610-z?fromPaywallRec=false" data-track="select_recommendations_2" data-track-context="inline recommendations" data-track-action="click recommendations inline - 2" data-track-label="10.1038/s42255-022-00610-z">Glial cells as integrators of peripheral and central signals in the regulation of energy homeostasis </a> </h3> <div class="c-article-meta-recommendations" data-test="recommendation-info"> <span class="c-article-meta-recommendations__item-type">Article</span> <span class="c-article-meta-recommendations__date">25 July 2022</span> </div> </div> </article> </div> <div class="c-article-recommendations-list__item"> <article class="c-article-recommendations-card" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/ScholarlyArticle"> <div class="c-article-recommendations-card__img"><img src="https://media.springernature.com/w215h120/springer-static/image/art%3A10.1038%2Fs12276-021-00666-z/MediaObjects/12276_2021_666_Fig1_HTML.png" loading="lazy" alt=""></div> <div class="c-article-recommendations-card__main"> <h3 class="c-article-recommendations-card__heading" itemprop="name headline"> <a class="c-article-recommendations-card__link" itemprop="url" href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s12276-021-00666-z?fromPaywallRec=false" data-track="select_recommendations_3" data-track-context="inline recommendations" data-track-action="click recommendations inline - 3" data-track-label="10.1038/s12276-021-00666-z">Metabolic factors in the regulation of hypothalamic innate immune responses in obesity </a> </h3> <div class="c-article-meta-recommendations" data-test="recommendation-info"> <span class="c-article-meta-recommendations__item-type">Article</span> <span class="c-article-meta-recommendations__access-type">Open access</span> <span class="c-article-meta-recommendations__date">26 April 2022</span> </div> </div> </article> </div> </div> </section> <script> window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];

In the simplest sense, obesity arises due to disparities in energy balance, whereby energy intake exceeds energy expended by the body. As such, for weight loss to occur in obesity, energy intake must be surpassed by energy expenditure, through either dietary restriction and/or increased exercise. Whilst inherently simplistic, clinical interventions have resoundingly failed capacity to promote the remission of obesity over the long term, with most patients regaining the majority of lost weight, irrespective of the rate at which that weight is lost<sup><a data-track="click" data-track-action="reference anchor" data-track-label="link" data-test="citation-ref" aria-label="Reference 17" title="Vink, R.

Hormones produced in peripheral tissues are released into the circulation in response to metabolic cues, where they travel into the central nervous system (CNS) to regulate cellular circuitry governing energy balance.

Activation of these neurons regulates food intake, energy expenditure and glucose metabolism. Insulin and leptin have anorexigenic effects by inhibiting AgRP neurons and activating POMC neurons, to promote secretion of POMC-derived melanocortins, which then bind to MC3R/MC4R on secondary neurons to reduce food intake and increase energy expenditure. Conversely, orexigenic ghrelin inhibits POMC neurons, and activates AgRP neurons to secrete appetite-stimulating peptides including AgRP, a MC3R/MC4R antagonist. AgRP neurons also release the inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), and neuropeptide Y (NPY), which binds to Y1 and Y5 receptors, to inhibit POMC neurons and downstream satiety neurons.</p></div></div><div class="u-text-right u-hide-print"><a class="c-article__pill-button" data-test="article-link" data-track="click" data-track-label="button" data-track-action="view figure" href="/articles/s44324-024-00026-1/figures/1" data-track-dest="link:Figure1 Full size image" aria-label="Full size image figure 1" rel="nofollow"><span>Full size image</span><svg width="16" height="16" focusable="false" role="img" aria-hidden="true" class="u-icon"><use xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="#icon-eds-i-chevron-right-small"></use></svg></a></div></figure></div><div class="c-article-section__figure js-c-reading-companion-figures-item" data-test="figure" data-container-section="figure" id="figure-2" data-title="Glia drive neuroinflammation in the obese brain."><figure><figcaption><b id="Fig2" class="c-article-section__figure-caption" data-test="figure-caption-text">Fig. 2: Glia drive neuroinflammation in the obese brain.</b></figcaption><div class="c-article-section__figure-content"><div class="c-article-section__figure-item"><a class="c-article-section__figure-link" data-test="img-link" data-track="click" data-track-label="image" data-track-action="view figure" href="/articles/s44324-024-00026-1/figures/2" rel="nofollow"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="//media.springernature.com/lw685/springer-static/image/art%3A10.1038%2Fs44324-024-00026-1/MediaObjects/44324_2024_26_Fig2_HTML.png?as=webp"><img aria-describedby="Fig2" src="//media.springernature.com/lw685/springer-static/image/art%3A10.1038%2Fs44324-024-00026-1/MediaObjects/44324_2024_26_Fig2_HTML.png" alt="figure 2" loading="lazy" width="685" height="486"></picture></a></div><div class="c-article-section__figure-description" data-test="bottom-caption" id="figure-2-desc"><p>In the hypothalamus of lean mice (left), glial cells including astrocytes, microglia, nerve-glial antigen 2 (NG2)/oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs), pericytes and tanycytes facilitate healthy physiological function by regulating metabolic hormone transport and neuronal function.

As is the case for their precursor cells, oligodendrocyte biology is significantly under-researched compared to tanycytes, astrocytes and microglia in the context of metabolic homoeostasis, and requires further investigation.</p><p>As the field looks beyond just AgRP and POMC neurons in interrogating how feeding behaviour, whole-body metabolism and glycaemic control are regulated, now is the time to continue unravelling the intrinsic and supportive functionality of the glia that surround these neuronal populations. This review has collected evidence demonstrating how glia respond to dietary and endocrine signals to modulate the hypothalamic microenvironment (Table <a data-track="click" data-track-label="link" data-track-action="table anchor" href="/articles/s44324-024-00026-1#Tab1">1</a>). Glial cells present themselves as a promising drug target for the treatment of metabolic disease, as dampening reactive gliosis, and subsequently hypothalamic microinflammation, can promote significant improvements on food intake and energy homoeostasis. Pharmacologically targeting neurons is restricted by the limited number of known molecular targets available. However, by expanding our scope to glial cells, we open ourselves up to a plethora of potential therapeutic targets. Taking a “regulate the regulators” approach may be therapeutically insightful and integral to preventing the neuronal dysfunction that perpetuates obesogenic behaviours. Simplistic approaches such as glial cell depletion have their obvious drawbacks, as microglia, astrocytes and oligodendroglia all have their purposes in maintaining CNS health. Rather, inhibiting glia-specific pathways may be a more practical avenue to investigate. As our understanding of reactive gliosis within the ARC is mechanistically immature, it is crucial to better understand the molecular pathways through which glia interact with neurons, and each other, during metabolic disease development.</p><div class="c-article-table" data-test="inline-table" data-container-section="table" id="table-1"><figure><figcaption class="c-article-table__figcaption"><b id="Tab1" data-test="table-caption">Table 1 Summary of key cell types in the ARC, their normal physiological functions, and how these functions are altered in metabolic disease</b></figcaption><div class="u-text-right u-hide-print"><a class="c-article__pill-button" data-test="table-link" data-track="click" data-track-action="view table" data-track-label="button" rel="nofollow" href="/articles/s44324-024-00026-1/tables/1" aria-label="Full size table 1"><span>Full size table</span><svg width="16" height="16" focusable="false" role="img" aria-hidden="true" class="u-icon"><use xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="#icon-eds-i-chevron-right-small"></use></svg></a></div></figure></div></div></div></section> </div> <div> <section data-title="Data availability"><div class="c-article-section" id="data-availability-section"><h2 class="c-article-section__title js-section-title js-c-reading-companion-sections-item" id="data-availability">Data availability</h2><div class="c-article-section__content" id="data-availability-content"> <p>No datasets were generated or analysed during the current study.</p> </div></div></section><div id="MagazineFulltextArticleBodySuffix"><section aria-labelledby="Bib1" data-title="References"><div class="c-article-section" id="Bib1-section"><h2 class="c-article-section__title js-section-title js-c-reading-companion-sections-item" id="Bib1">References</h2><div class="c-article-section__content" id="Bib1-content"><div data-container-section="references"><ol class="c-article-references" data-track-component="outbound reference" data-track-context="references section"><li class="c-article-references__item js-c-reading-companion-references-item" data-counter="1."><p class="c-article-references__text" id="ref-CR1">Chew, N.
