Ghrelin

February 16, 2024

Ghrelin (/ˈɡrɛlɪn/; or lenomorelin, INN) is a hormone primarily produced by enteroendocrine cells of the gastrointestinal tract, especially the stomach,[5][6] and is often called a "hunger hormone" because it increases the drive to eat.[6] Blood levels of ghrelin are highest before meals when hungry, returning to lower levels after mealtimes.[6][7] Ghrelin may help prepare for food intake[6][8] by increasing gastric motility and stimulating the secretion of gastric acid.[6]

Ghrelin activates cells in the anterior pituitary gland and hypothalamic arcuate nucleus,[6][9] including neuropeptide Y neurons that initiate appetite.[6][10] Ghrelin stimulates brain structures having a specific receptor – the growth hormone secretagogue receptor 1A (GHSR-1A).[6][11] Ghrelin also participates in regulation of reward cognition,[12] learning and memory, the sleep-wake cycle, taste sensation, reward behavior, and glucose metabolism.[6][13][14]

History and name edit

Ghrelin was discovered after the ghrelin receptor (called growth hormone secretagogue type 1A receptor or GHS-R) was determined in 1999.[6] The hormone name is based on its role as a growth hormone-releasing peptide, with reference to the Proto-Indo-European root gʰre-, meaning "to grow".[6]

Gene, transcription products, and structure edit

 
Preproghrelin (green and blue) and ghrelin (green)

The GHRL gene produces mRNA which has four exons. Five products arise: the first is the 117-amino acid preproghrelin. It is homologous to promotilin; both are members of the motilin family. It is cleaved to produce proghrelin which is cleaved to produce an unacylated 28-amino acid ghrelin and an acylated C-ghrelin. Obestatin is presumed to be cleaved from C-ghrelin.[15]

Ghrelin only becomes active when caprylic (octanoic) acid is linked posttranslationally to serine at the 3-position by the enzyme ghrelin O-acyltransferase (GOAT) to form a proteolipid. It is located on the cell membrane of ghrelin cells in the stomach and pancreas.[16] The non-octanoylated form is desacyl ghrelin. It does not activate the GHS-R receptor but does have other effects: cardiac,[17] anti-ghrelin,[18] appetite stimulation,[19] and inhibition of hepatic glucose output.[20] Side-chains other than octanoyl have also been observed: these can also trigger the ghrelin receptor.[21] In particular, decanoyl ghrelin has been found to constitute a significant portion of circulating ghrelin in mice, but as of 2011 its presence in humans has not been established.[22]

Ghrelin cells edit

Alternative names edit

The ghrelin cell is also known as an A-like cell (pancreas), X-cell (for unknown function), X/A-like cell (rats), Epsilon cell (pancreas), P/D sub 1 cell (humans) and Gr cell (abbreviation for ghrelin cell).[23]

Location edit

Ghrelin cells are found mainly in the stomach[24] and duodenum, but also in the jejunum, lungs, pancreatic islets,[25] gonads, adrenal cortex, placenta, and kidney. It has also been shown that ghrelin is produced locally in the brain.[26] Additionally, research suggests that ghrelin may be produced in the myocardium and have an 'autocrine/ paracrine' like effect within the heart.[27]

Ghrelin cells are also found in oxyntic glands (20% of cells),[28] pyloric glands, and small intestine.

Features edit

They are ovoid cells with granules.[29] They have gastrin receptors.[30] Some produce nesfatin-1.[31] Ghrelin cells are not terminally differentiated in the pancreas: they are progenitor cells that can give rise to A-cells, PP cells and Beta-cells there.[32]

Function and mechanism of action edit

Ghrelin is a participant in regulating the complex process of energy homeostasis which adjusts both energy input – by adjusting hunger signals – and energy output – by adjusting the proportion of energy going to ATP production, fat storage, glycogen storage, and short-term heat loss. The net result of these processes is reflected in body weight, and is under continuous monitoring and adjustment based on metabolic signals and needs. At any given moment in time, it may be in equilibrium or disequilibrium. Gastric-brain communication is an essential part of energy homeostasis, and several communication pathways are probable, including the gastric intracellular mTOR/S6K1 pathway mediating the interaction among ghrelin, nesfatin and endocannabinoid gastric systems,[33] and both afferent and efferent vagal signals.

Ghrelin and synthetic ghrelin mimetics (growth hormone secretagogues) increase body weight and fat mass[34][35][36] by triggering receptors in the arcuate nucleus[9] that include neuropeptide Y (NPY) and agouti-related protein (AgRP) neurons.[37][10] Ghrelin-responsiveness of these neurons is both leptin- and insulin-sensitive.[38] Ghrelin reduces the sensitivity of gastric vagal afferents, so they are less sensitive to gastric distension.[39]

In addition to its function in energy homeostasis, ghrelin also activates the cholinergic–dopaminergic reward link in inputs to the ventral tegmental area and in the mesolimbic pathway,[40] a circuit that communicates the hedonic and reinforcing aspects of natural rewards,[13] such as food and addictive drugs such as ethanol.[38][41][42] Ghrelin receptors are located on neurons in this circuit.[13][12] Hypothalamic ghrelin signalling is required for reward from alcohol[43] and palatable/rewarding foods.[44][45]

Ghrelin has been linked to inducing appetite and feeding behaviors. Circulating ghrelin levels are the highest right before a meal and the lowest right after.[46][47] Injections of ghrelin in both humans and rats have been shown to increase food intake in a dose-dependent manner.[48] So the more ghrelin that is injected the more food that is consumed. However, ghrelin does not increase meal size, only meal number.[49] Ghrelin injections also increase an animal's motivation to seek out food, behaviors including increased sniffing, foraging for food, and hoarding food. Body weight is regulated through energy balance, the amount of energy taken in versus the amount of energy expended over an extended period of time. Studies have shown that ghrelin levels are positively correlated with weight. This data suggests that ghrelin functions as an adiposity signal, a messenger between the body's energy stores and the brain.[8]

Blood levels edit

Blood levels are in the pmol/L or fmol/mL range. Both active and total ghrelin can be measured.[50] Circulating ghrelin concentrations rise before eating and fall afterward,[46] more strongly in response to protein and carbohydrate than to lipids.[22] The plasma ghrelin-like immunoreactivity concentration measured with a particular radioimmunoassay in a typical human is 166.0 + 10.1 fmol/mL. Serum ghrelin concentrations tend to increase in age and vary throughout the day, with values peaking while one is asleep.[51]

Ghrelin receptor edit

The ghrelin receptor GHS-R1a (a splice-variant of the growth hormone secretagogue receptor, with the GHS-R1b splice being inactive) is involved in mediating a wide variety of biological effects of ghrelin, including: stimulation of growth hormone release, increase in hunger, modulation of glucose and lipid metabolism, regulation of gastrointestinal motility and secretion, protection of neuronal and cardiovascular cells, and regulation of immune function.[52] They are present in high density in the hypothalamus and pituitary, on the vagus nerve (on both afferent cell bodies and efferent nerve endings) and throughout the gastrointestinal tract.[16][39]

Locations of action edit

Glucose metabolism edit

The entire ghrelin system (dAG, AG, GHS-R and GOAT) has a gluco-regulatory action.[53]

Sleep edit

Preliminary research indicates that ghrelin participates in the regulation of circadian rhythms.[6] A review reported finding strong evidence that sleep restriction affected ghrelin or leptin levels, or energy expenditure.[54]

Reproductive system edit

Ghrelin has inhibitory effects on gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) secretion. It may cause decreased fertility.[55]

Fetus and neonate edit

Ghrelin is produced early by the fetal lung and promotes lung growth.[56] Umbilical cord blood levels of ghrelin show a correlation between ghrelin levels and birth weight.[50]

Cardiovascular system edit

Ghrelin functions as a cardio-protective peptide by being an anti-inflammatory agent, promoting angiogenesis, inhibiting arrhythmia, and improving heart failure.[57]

Immune system edit

Ghrelin has a diverse immunoregulatory role mediating the release of anti-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-4 and 10 along with TGF-β while reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α, INF-γ, and IL-1β from various immunologically competent cells in vitro and in vivo. [58] Additionally, Ghrelin and it's endogenous receptor, GHSR1a, along with GOAT are expressed in primary immune tissues such as the spleen and thymus where it has a role in modulating interactions between metabolic state and inflammation, mediating energy balance homeostasis.[59]

Stress/ Hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis edit

GHSR1A, Ghrelin's endogenous receptor, is expressed within the hypothalamus including the arcuate nucleus, but not in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) where ghrelin has been found to indirectly affect HPA axis function via neighboring corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH) neurons.[60] Studies regarding how ghrelin affects cortisol and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) secretion along with how cortisol and ACTH levels affect ghrelin are inconsistent as different psychological and physical stressors within in vivo studies have produced a myriad of results as the underlying mechanisms are still not understood well.[61]

Role(s) in Disease edit

Gastric bypass surgery edit

Gastric bypass surgery not only reduces gut capacity for food, but also lowers ghrelin levels compared to both lean people and those who lost weight through dieting.[62][63] Studies have not clarified whether ghrelin levels return to normal in people who had gastric bypass surgery after weight loss has stabilized.[64] Gastric bypass surgery involving vertical-sleeve gastrectomy reduces plasma ghrelin levels by about 60% in the long term.[65]

Anorexia and obesity edit

Ghrelin levels in the plasma of obese individuals are lower than those in leaner individuals,[62][66] suggesting that ghrelin does not contribute to obesity, except in the cases of Prader–Willi syndrome-induced obesity, where high ghrelin levels are correlated with increased food intake.[67][68] Those with anorexia nervosa have high plasma levels of ghrelin[69] compared to both the constitutionally thin and normal-weight controls.[70][71] The level of ghrelin increases during the time of day from midnight to dawn in thinner people, which suggests there is a flaw in the circadian rhythm of obese individuals.[72] Ghrelin levels are high in people with cancer-induced cachexia.[73] There is insufficient evidence to conclude either for or against use of ghrelin in managing cachexia associated with cancer.[74]

Possible Cardiovascular Therapeutic Potential edit

Ghrelin has been theorized to have protective effects on the cardiovascular system. Studies have shown that in mice models of myocardial infarction (MI) with knock-outs of ghrelin, subjects with no endogenous ghrelin production had a significantly increased mortality rate along with worse metrics in terms of cardiac sympathetic activity and systolic function when compared to wild-type subjects.[57] with exogenous ghrelin being shown to improve heart function in rodent models of chronic heart failure [57] and improved ventricular remodeling in post-MI rats.[27]

editGhrelin was discovered after the ghrelin receptor called growth hormone secretagogue type 1A receptor or GHS R was determined in 1999 6 The hormone name is based on its role as a growth hormone releasing peptide with reference to the Proto Indo European root gʰre meaning to grow 6 Gene transcription products and structure edit nbsp Preproghrelin green and blue and ghrelin green The GHRL gene produces mRNA which has four exons Five products arise the first is the 117 amino acid preproghrelin It is homologous to promotilin both are members of the motilin family It is cleaved to produce proghrelin which is cleaved to produce an unacylated 28 amino acid ghrelin and an acylated C ghrelin Obestatin is presumed to be cleaved from C ghrelin 15 Ghrelin only becomes active when caprylic octanoic acid is linked posttranslationally to serine at the 3 position by the enzyme ghrelin O acyltransferase GOAT to form a proteolipid It is located on the cell membrane of ghrelin cells in the stomach and pancreas 16 The non octanoylated form is desacyl ghrelin It does not activate the GHS R receptor but does have other effects cardiac 17 anti ghrelin 18 appetite stimulation 19 and inhibition of hepatic glucose output 20 Side chains other than octanoyl have also been observed these can also trigger the ghrelin receptor 21 In particular decanoyl ghrelin has been found to constitute a significant portion of circulating ghrelin in mice but as of 2011 its presence in humans has not been established 22 Ghrelin cells editAlternative names edit The ghrelin cell is also known as an A like cell pancreas X cell for unknown function X A like cell rats Epsilon cell pancreas P D sub 1 cell humans and Gr cell abbreviation for ghrelin cell 23 Location edit Ghrelin cells are found mainly in the stomach 24 and duodenum but also in the jejunum lungs pancreatic islets 25 gonads adrenal cortex placenta and kidney It has also been shown that ghrelin is produced locally in the brain 26 Additionally research suggests that ghrelin may be produced in the myocardium and have an autocrine paracrine like effect within the heart 27 Ghrelin cells are also found in oxyntic glands 20 of cells 28 pyloric glands and small intestine Features edit They are ovoid cells with granules 29 They have gastrin receptors 30 Some produce nesfatin 1 31 Ghrelin cells are not terminally differentiated in the pancreas they are progenitor cells that can give rise to A cells PP cells and Beta cells there 32 Function and mechanism of action editGhrelin is a participant in regulating the complex process of energy homeostasis which adjusts both energy input by adjusting hunger signals and energy output by adjusting the proportion of energy going to ATP production fat storage glycogen storage and short term heat loss The net result of these processes is reflected in body weight and is under continuous monitoring and adjustment based on metabolic signals and needs At any given moment in time it may be in equilibrium or disequilibrium Gastric brain communication is an essential part of energy homeostasis and several communication pathways are probable including the gastric intracellular mTOR S6K1 pathway mediating the interaction among ghrelin nesfatin and endocannabinoid gastric systems 33 and both afferent and efferent vagal signals Ghrelin and synthetic ghrelin mimetics growth hormone secretagogues increase body weight and fat mass 34 35 36 by triggering receptors in the arcuate nucleus 9 that include neuropeptide Y NPY and agouti related protein AgRP neurons 37 10 Ghrelin responsiveness of these neurons is both leptin and insulin sensitive 38 Ghrelin reduces the sensitivity of gastric vagal afferents so they are less sensitive to gastric distension 39 In addition to its function in energy homeostasis ghrelin also activates the cholinergic dopaminergic reward link in inputs to the ventral tegmental area and in the mesolimbic pathway 40 a circuit that communicates the hedonic and reinforcing aspects of natural rewards 13 such as food and addictive drugs such as ethanol 38 41 42 Ghrelin receptors are located on neurons in this circuit 13 12 Hypothalamic ghrelin signalling is required for reward from alcohol 43 and palatable rewarding foods 44 45 Ghrelin has been linked to inducing appetite and feeding behaviors Circulating ghrelin levels are the highest right before a meal and the lowest right after 46 47 Injections of ghrelin in both humans and rats have been shown to increase food intake in a dose dependent manner 48 So the more ghrelin that is injected the more food that is consumed However ghrelin does not increase meal size only meal number 49 Ghrelin injections also increase an animal s motivation to seek out food behaviors including increased sniffing foraging for food and hoarding food Body weight is regulated through energy balance the amount of energy taken in versus the amount of energy expended over an extended period of time Studies have shown that ghrelin levels are positively correlated with weight This data suggests that ghrelin functions as an adiposity signal a messenger between the body s energy stores and the brain 8 Blood levels editBlood levels are in the pmol L or fmol mL range Both active and total ghrelin can be measured 50 Circulating ghrelin concentrations rise before eating and fall afterward 46 more strongly in response to protein and carbohydrate than to lipids 22 The plasma ghrelin like immunoreactivity concentration measured with a particular radioimmunoassay in a typical human is 166 0 10 1 fmol mL Serum ghrelin concentrations tend to increase in age and vary throughout the day with values peaking while one is asleep 51 Ghrelin receptor editThe ghrelin receptor GHS R1a a splice variant of the growth hormone secretagogue receptor with the GHS R1b splice being inactive is involved in mediating a wide variety of biological effects of ghrelin including stimulation of growth hormone release increase in hunger modulation of glucose and lipid metabolism regulation of gastrointestinal motility and secretion protection of neuronal and cardiovascular cells and regulation of immune function 52 They are present in high density in the hypothalamus and pituitary on the vagus nerve on both afferent cell bodies and efferent nerve endings and throughout the gastrointestinal tract 16 39 Locations of action editGlucose metabolism edit The entire ghrelin system dAG AG GHS R and GOAT has a gluco regulatory action 53 Sleep edit Preliminary research indicates that ghrelin participates in the regulation of circadian rhythms 6 A review reported finding strong evidence that sleep restriction affected ghrelin or leptin levels or energy expenditure 54 Reproductive system edit Ghrelin has inhibitory effects on gonadotropin releasing hormone GnRH secretion It may cause decreased fertility 55 Fetus and neonate edit Ghrelin is produced early by the fetal lung and promotes lung growth 56 Umbilical cord blood levels of ghrelin show a correlation between ghrelin levels and birth weight 50 Cardiovascular system edit Ghrelin functions as a cardio protective peptide by being an anti inflammatory agent promoting angiogenesis inhibiting arrhythmia and improving heart failure 57 Immune system edit Ghrelin has a diverse immunoregulatory role mediating the release of anti inflammatory cytokines such as IL 4 and 10 along with TGF b while reducing pro inflammatory cytokines such as TNF a INF g and IL 1b from various immunologically competent cells in vitro and in vivo 58 Additionally Ghrelin and it s endogenous receptor GHSR1a along with GOAT are expressed in primary immune tissues such as the spleen and thymus where it has a role in modulating interactions between metabolic state and inflammation mediating energy balance homeostasis 59 Stress Hypothalamic pituitary adrenal HPA axis edit GHSR1A Ghrelin s endogenous receptor is expressed within the hypothalamus including the arcuate nucleus but not in the paraventricular nucleus PVN where ghrelin has been found to indirectly affect HPA axis function via neighboring corticotropin releasing hormone CRH neurons 60 Studies regarding how ghrelin affects cortisol and adrenocorticotropic hormone ACTH secretion along with how cortisol and ACTH levels affect ghrelin are inconsistent as different psychological and physical stressors within in vivo studies have produced a myriad of results as the underlying mechanisms are still not understood well 61 Role s in Disease editGastric bypass surgery edit Gastric bypass surgery not only reduces gut capacity for food but also lowers ghrelin levels compared to both lean people and those who lost weight through dieting 62 63 Studies have not clarified whether ghrelin levels return to normal in people who had gastric bypass surgery after weight loss has stabilized 64 Gastric bypass surgery involving vertical sleeve gastrectomy reduces plasma ghrelin levels by about 60 in the long term 65 Anorexia and obesity edit Ghrelin levels in the plasma of obese individuals are lower than those in leaner individuals 62 66 suggesting that ghrelin does not contribute to obesity except in the cases of Prader Willi syndrome induced obesity where high ghrelin levels are correlated with increased food intake 67 68 Those with anorexia nervosa have high plasma levels of ghrelin 69 compared to both the constitutionally thin and normal weight controls 70 71 The level of ghrelin increases during the time of day from midnight to dawn in thinner people which suggests there is a flaw in the circadian rhythm of obese individuals 72 Ghrelin levels are high in people with cancer induced cachexia 73 There is insufficient evidence to conclude either for or against use of ghrelin in managing cachexia associated with cancer 74 Possible Cardiovascular Therapeutic Potential edit Ghrelin has been theorized to have protective effects on the cardiovascular system Studies have shown that in mice models of myocardial infarction MI with knock outs of ghrelin subjects with no endogenous ghrelin production had a significantly increased mortality rate along with worse metrics in terms of cardiac sympathetic activity and systolic function when compared to wild type subjects 57 with exogenous ghrelin being shown to improve heart function in rodent models of chronic heart failure 57 and improved ventricular remodeling in post MI rats 27 See also editHypothalamic pituitary somatic axis List of growth hormone
