Disease relevance of Mchr1

  • Consistent with the hyperactivity, Mch1r-/- mice are less susceptible to diet-induced obesity [1].
  • Mch1r-/- mice have normal body weights, yet are lean and have reduced fat mass [1].
  • Importantly, chronic central infusions of MCH induce hyperphagia and mild obesity in wild-type mice, but not in Mch1r-/- mice [1].
  • Mice carrying a null mutation of the MCHR1 gene display anxiolytic-like behavior across a battery different behavioral paradigms commonly used to assess fear and anxiety responses in rodents: open field, elevated plus maze, social interaction, and stress-induced hyperthermia [2].
  • Administration of the adrenergic antagonist metoprolol completely reversed the tachycardia seen in MCHR1(-/-) mice, suggesting an increased sympathetic tone [3].
 

Psychiatry related information on Mchr1

  • We conclude that MCH1R is a physiologically relevant MCH receptor in mice that plays a role in energy homeostasis through multiple actions on locomotor activity, metabolism, appetite, and neuroendocrine function [1].
  • This work identifies a novel hypothalamic-AcSh circuit that influences appetitive behavior and mediates the antidepressant activity of MCH1R antagonists [4].
  • CONCLUSION: Taken together, we suggest that antagonism of the MCHR1 receptor may provide a novel approach for the treatment of affective disorders, including depression, with a potentially increased efficacy in women [5].
  • I have focused particularly on recent data concerning transgenic mice and the ongoing development of MC/MCH receptor antagonists/agonists that may represent promising drugs to treat human eating disorders on both sides of the energy balance (anorexia, obesity) [6].

Biological context of Mchr1

 

Anatomical context of Mchr1

  • In summary, we show that MCHR1 can modulate stress- and anxiety-like behaviors and suggest that this may be due to changes in serotonergic transmission in forebrain regions [2].
  • Baseline dialysate 5-HT levels were significantly lower in MCHR1 knockout mice as compared with wild-type controls (9.53+/-0.24 fmol for wild types vs 6.91+/-0.36 fmol for knockouts) in the prefrontal cortex (PFC), one of the main target structures of the serotonergic system and one that is highly associated with the control of emotional processes [2].
  • With a high-fat diet, body fat mass is significantly lower in both male (4.7 +/- 0.6 g vs. 9.6 +/- 1.2 g) and female (3.9 +/- 0.2 vs. 5.8 +/- 0.5 g) MCHR1-/- mice than that of the wild-type control (P < 0.01), but the lean mass remains constant [15].
  • Potential signaling pathways mediating MCH-R1 action in adipocytes were investigated [13].
  • The rodent MCH receptor (MCH1R) is highly expressed in the nucleus accumbens shell (AcSh), a region that is important in the regulation of appetitive behavior [4].
 

Associations of Mchr1 with chemical compounds

  • To examine the impact of MCHR1 receptor deletion on 5-HT neurotransmission, we used in vivo microdialysis in freely moving knockout and wild-type mice [2].
  • We studied the effects of intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) administration of an MCH-1 receptor agonist (Compound A) and an MCH-1 receptor antagonist (Compound B) on feeding in satiated rats [16].
  • It is speculated that MCHR1 may contribute to the neurobiological mechanisms of conditioned cocaine-induced psychomotor effects, possibly to those underpinning sensitization, and to a lesser extent to those sub-serving acute pharmacological cocaine action [17].
  • A series of urea-based N-1-(2-aminoethyl)-indazoles was synthesized and evaluated for melanin-concentrating hormone receptor 1 (MCHr1) antagonism in both binding and functional assays [12].
  • Further delineation of the structural parameters essential for MCHr1-binding affinity of this class of nontraditional GPCR ligands resulted in the identification of compounds such as 33, 34 and 37, which demonstrate single digit nanomolar antagonism of MCHr1-mediated Ca(2+) release [18].
 

Other interactions of Mchr1

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Mchr1

  • The performance of new vacuum filtration system was evaluated with MCH1 receptor binding assay and ligand washout experiments [22].
  • Both MCH and MCHR1 are expressed in mouse and human islets and in clonal beta-cell lines as assessed using quantitative real-time PCR and immunohistochemistry [23].
  • Additionally, while female and male mice carrying a null mutation of the MCHR1 gene show comparable anxiolytic-like behavior on the open field, only female knockout mice exhibit antidepressant-like behavior, when tested on the forced swim and tail suspension tests [5].
