| Research Abstract |
(1)The central mechanism of androgen-androgen receptor(AR)activity in obesity: Hypogonadism is linked with the increase in fat mass in male humans. AR null male mice (ARL/Y) develop late-onset obesity. We revealed that AR deletion in male mice results in weakened leptin-induced food intake suppression and a drop in body weight. In wild type(WT)males, AR is highly expressed in various hypothalamic nuclei, which also express a long-form leptin receptor(OBRB), and co-resides with OBRB directly in arcuate neurons. In vitro, AR significantly enhances leptin-induced STAT3 transactivation of leptin target genes including POMC and SOCS3. AR also enhances STAT3 nuclear translocation induced by leptin in vitro. ARL/Y mice receiving leptin showed impaired STAT3 nuclear localization in arcuate neurons. These findings identify AR as acting at the hypothalamus as a regulator of central leptin-OBRB-STAT3 signaling, and identify a physiological role for AR in energy homeostasis in male subjects. (2) A

ndrogens and atherosclerosis: We obtained results indicating that endogenous dihydrotestosterone (DHT)is protective against atherosclerosis. Male ApoE/AR double null mice were more atherosclerotic than male ApoE null ones, a type of atherosclerosis model that is independent of serum lipid level. High-cholesterol diet-induced atherosclerosis in New Zealand white rabbit was aggravated by testectomy; however, this was dramatically improved by DHT administration. (3) Development of a selective androgen receptor modulator(SARM): We searched for a SARM that may confer benefits for energy homeostasis. We identified a chemical as a promising candidate. This chemical, unlike DHT, hardly stimulated PSA expression in prostate cancer cells; whereas it dramatically reduced the plasma triglyceride level. (4) Analysis of DDSP-transgenic (TG) mice: DHEA induces MAP kinase phosphatase, designated DDSP, as one of its target molecules. We generated mice carrying a DDSP transgene. DDSP-Tg mice weighed less than WT mice when supplied a high fat diet. While no difference in food-intake or movement distance was found between DDSP-Tg and WT mice, oxygen consumption of DDSP-Tg mice was higher than that of WT. This suggested an increase of basal metabolism in DDSP-Tg mice. The anti-obesity effect of DHEA might be, at least in part, mediated through DDSP. Less
