Embodiment 1
[0072] Example 1: Nesfatin-1 mediates the effect of plasminogen in obese and diabetic animals
[0073] Nesfatin-1, a polypeptide fragment hypothesized to be derived from NUCB2, was recently identified as an anorexigenic factor associated with melanocortin signaling in the hypothalamus. Injection of nesfatin-1 intracerebroventricularly or intraperitoneally reduced food intake and consequently reduced body weight. The amino acid sequence of nesfatin-1 is highly conserved from mouse to human, and has several recognized enzyme cleavage sites for plasmin ( figure 1 a). Therefore, nesfatin-1 is hypothesized to mediate the effects of plasminogen in obese and diabetic animals.
[0074] To prove this hypothesis, we expressed and purified recombinant nesfatin-1 using genetically engineered Escherichia coli. It was co-incubated with plasmin, and as expected, nesfatin-1 was rapidly degraded ( figure 1 b). Interestingly, compared to the genotype for plg - / - lepr - / - Non-obese litt...

[0083] Example 2: Effect of Tail Vein Injection of Plasmin Inhibitors on the Concentration of Nesfatin-1 in Blood
[0084]The manner in which Nesfatin-1 is cleared from the peripheral blood is unclear. Trace amounts of plasmin production in peripheral blood were previously reported and confirmed in our experiments. Inject AMCA and aprotinin, two inhibitors of plasmin, into db / db mice through the tail vein, while the concentration of nesfatin-1 in the peripheral blood increases, the mice eat less and their body weight decreases ( Figure 5 ). In addition, nesfatin-1 injected by tail vein - / - The peripheral blood clearance rate of genotype mice is significantly slower than that of plg + / + of mice. Therefore, we believe that nesfatin-1 in peripheral blood is at least partially degraded by plasmin. Consistent with reports that nesfatin-1 can penetrate the blood-brain barrier, AMCA can also cause anorexia, indicating that nesfatin-1 in the brain is at least partially derived f...
Embodiment 3
[0086] Example 3: Quantitative PCR detection of neuropeptides
[0087] For the detection of neuropeptide mRNA quantitative PCR (q-PCR), the CFX96TM real-time system (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA) and the detection method of SYBR Green I fluorescent dye were used. Briefly, hypothalamus tissue from 24-hour fasted mice was homogenized, and total RNA was extracted using RNAiso reagent (TaKaRa, Dalian, CN) and reverse transcribed into single-stranded cDNA. We determined the relative expression of neuropeptide mRNA using a standard curve of hypothalamic cDNA and adjusted for total RNA and gadph RNA by qPCR. The primers used in real-time RT-PCR are as follows: agrp forward primer: 5'-TGT GTA AGG CTG CAC GAG TC (SEQ ID NO: 10); agrp reverse primer: 5'-GGC AGTAGC AAA AGG CAT TG (SEQ ID NO : 11); agrp Tm: 61°C; npy forward primer: 5′-AGG CTTGAA GAC CCT TCC AT (SEQ ID NO: 12); npy reverse primer: 5′-ACA GGC AGA CTG GTTTCA GG (SEQ ID NO : 13); npy Tm: 61°C; pomc forward primer: 5'-CGC CCG TGT ...
