Weight gain is one side effect of many antipsychotic drugs (APDs). A small number of lateral hypothalamic/perifornical area (LH/PFA) neurons express the orexins, peptides that are critically involved in body weight regulation and arousal. We examined the ability of APDs to activate orexin neurons, as reflected by induction of Fos. APDs with significant weight gain liability increased Fos expression in orexin neurons, but APDs with low or absent weight gain liability did not. The weight gain liability of APDs was correlated with the degree of Fos induction in orexin neurons of the lateral LH/PFA. In contrast, amphetamine, which causes weight loss, increased Fos expression in orexin neurons of the medial but not lateral LH/PFA. We compared the effects of amphetamine and clozapine, an APD with weight gain liability, on orexin neurons innervating the prefrontal cortex. Clozapine induced Fos in 75% of the orexin neurons that project to the cortex, but amphetamine induced Fos in less than a third of these cells. These data suggest that APD-induced weight gain is associated with activation of distinct orexin neurons and emphasize the presence of anatomically and functionally heterogeneous populations of orexin neurons.

Treatment with many antipsychotic drugs (APDs) is associated with significant weight gain (Allison et al., 1999; Wetterling and Mussigbrodt, 1999; Taylor and McAskill, 2000; Allison and Casey, 2001). Among the long-term consequences of APD-induced weight gain are increased risk for cardiovascular disease and type II diabetes, and weight gain can hamper social integration and may lead to treatment noncompliance. Various hypotheses concerning the pharmacological basis of APD-induced weight gain have been advanced (Wetterling and Mussigbrodt, 1999; Casey and Zorn, 2001), but the cellular targets of APDs that induce weight gain are unknown.

The orexins (hypocretins) are peptides expressed only in neurons of the classical "feeding area" of the lateral hypothalamus and perifornical area (LH/PFA; de Lecea et al., 1998; Sakurai et al., 1998). Despite the small number of orexin cells, orexin axons are distributed throughout the brain (Peyron et al., 1998; Date et al., 1999). The orexins are potent regulators of feeding and other metabolic processes and of arousal (Kilduff and Peyron, 2000; Sutcliffe and de Lecea, 2000; Willie et al., 2001); in addition, intracerebral orexin administration increases food intake (Edwards et al., 1999).

Dopamine (DA) also plays important roles in feeding and arousal (Terry et al., 1995; Meguid et al., 2000). We have recently described a dense projection from orexin-containing neurons in the LH/PFA to the midbrain A10 DA neurons and an overlap of orexin- and dopamine-containing axons in the rat forebrain (Fadel and Deutch, 2002). These observations suggest interactions between DA and orexin, consistent with the finding that orexin-elicited locomotion is blocked by DA receptor antagonists (Nakamura et al., 2000).

Dopamine receptor blockade contributes to both therapeutic and side effects of APDs. The assessment of drug-induced changes in expression of immediate-early genes such as c-fos has been a valuable tool for delineating the sites of action of APDs (see Deutch, 1996). To determine if APDs that cause weight gain activate orexin neurons, we monitored Fos induction in orexin neurons, and we compared the effects of APDs with amphetamine, which decreases food intake.

Subjects. Adult male Sprague Dawley rats (Harlan, Birmingham, AL) were group-housed under a 12 hr light/dark cycle (lights on at 6:00 A.M.) with food and water available ad libitum. All experiments were performed between 9:00 A.M. and 2:00 P.M. and were in accord with the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals, as promulgated by the National Institutes of Health.

Drugs. All drugs were obtained from Sigma (St. Louis, MO), except for olanzapine (Eli Lilly, Indianapolis, IN) and ziprasidone (Pfizer, Groton, CT). Clozapine (10 and 30 mg/kg), chlorpromazine (25 mg/kg), fluphenazine (1.5 mg/kg), haloperidol (1.0 mg/kg), olanzapine (5.0 mg/kg), and D-amphetamine (1.5 mg/kg) were dissolved in acidified water (final pH 5.5-6.0); risperidone (2 mg/kg) and ziprasidone (12.5 mg/kg) were suspended in 20% cyclodextrin. The doses were selected on the basis of clinical equivalency (Bubser and Deutch, 2002). Because APD-induced weight gain is not related to the dose of a particular APD (Allison and Casey, 2001; Basson et al., 2001), we tested one dose of each APD, except in an initial experiment with clozapine.

For each drug tested, corresponding animals were injected with the appropriate vehicle on the same day. The different vehicles did not result in different degrees or patterns of Fos expression in orexin neurons.

Experimental procedures. We compared the ability of four APDs that cause significant weight gain (clozapine, olanzapine, chlorpromazine, and risperidone) and three APDs with low or absent weight gain liability (haloperidol, fluphenazine, and ziprasidone) to induce Fos in orexin neurons.

Amphetamine decreases food intake and causes weight loss. However, methamphetamine increases Fos expression in orexin neurons (Estabrooke et al., 2001). We determined if the effects of amphetamine and APDs are manifested in different populations of orexin neurons by retrogradely labeling LH/PFA neurons that project to the prefrontal cortex (PFC), which receives convergent orexin and DA innervations (Fadel and Deutch, 2002). We then compared the numbers of retrogradely labeled orexin neurons in which either clozapine (30 mg/kg) or amphetamine (1.5 mg/kg) induced Fos. Animals were anesthetized, and 200 nl of a 1% solution of the retrograde tracer cholera toxin B (CTb; List Biological Laboratories, Campbell, CA) was injected into the PFC. Ten days later rats were injected with amphetamine or clozapine.

Immunohistochemistry. Two hours after drug treatment, rats were anesthetized and perfused; brains were postfixed, cryoprotected, and frozen sections were cut through the hypothalamus. A dual immunoperoxidase protocol (Deutch et al., 1991; Scruggs et al., 2000) was followed to reveal Fos-like immunoreactive (-li) nuclei in orexin-li neurons, using a goat anti-Fos antibody (1:4000; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA) and a rabbit anti-orexin A antibody (1:3000; Calbiochem, San Diego, CA). We also determined if Fos was induced in LH/PFA cells expressing melanin concentrating hormone (MCH), using a chicken anti-MCH antibody (1:3000; Peninsula Laboratories, San Carlos, CA).

To determine if amphetamine and clozapine induce Fos in orexin cells that innervate the PFC, sections were subjected to an immunoperoxidase method that stains Fos-li nuclei black (Deutch et al., 1991). Sections were then incubated in orexin A and CTb antisera, followed by incubation in CY2- and CY3-labeled secondary antibodies. Black Fos-li nuclei were clearly visible when surrounded by cytoplasmic orexin- and/or CTb fluorescence (see Fig. 4).

Cell counts and data analysis. General cell counting methods follow our previously described methods (Scruggs et al., 2000). The number of single-labeled (orexin or Fos), double-labeled (orexin plus Fos, CTb plus Fos, or orexin plus CTb), or triple-labeled (orexin plus CTb plus Fos) cells was determined at two rostrocaudal levels of the LH/PFA encompassing the greatest number of orexin neurons (see Fig. 1). Cells were counted in the medial and lateral LH/PFA, as defined by a vertical line bisecting the fornix (see Fig. 1); the mean numbers of orexin neurons in the medial and lateral LH/PFA did not differ (t188 = 0.964; NS).

Data were analyzed by ANOVA followed by Bonferroni t tests when indicated or by unpaired t tests (amphetamine effects and comparison of amphetamine and clozapine).

Antipsychotic drug-induced Fos expression in orexin neurons

Both 10 and 30 mg/kg clozapine significantly increased the percentage of orexin neurons expressing Fos (F(2,10) = 18.3; p <=  0.001), but not in a dose-related manner. Clozapine did not induce Fos in MCH-li neurons of the LH/PFA (see Fig. 4).

A significant treatment effect of APDs on Fos expression in orexin cells was seen in both the medial (F(7,71) = 17.9; p <=  0.0001) and lateral (F(7,72) = 18.0; p < 0.0001) LH/PFA (Fig. 1). Clozapine, olanzapine, risperidone, and chlorpromazine significantly increased the percentage of orexin cells expressing Fos compared with vehicle (Fig. 1). In contrast, ziprasidone, haloperidol, and fluphenazine did not increase Fos expression in orexin neurons.

  		Figure 1.   Orexin-li neurons expressing Fos were counted in the medial and lateral LH/PFA at two levels of the hypothalamus (bottom). The percentages of orexin neurons expressing Fos were significantly greater after administration of APDs with high weight gain liability (CLZ, clozapine; OLA, olanzapine; RIS, risperidone; CPZ, chlorpromazine) than after challenge with APDs that cause relatively little weight gain (ZIS, ziprasidone; FLU, fluphenazine; HAL, haloperidol). *p <=  0.01; **p <=  0.001; ***p <=  0.0001.

The APDs that induced Fos in orexin-li neurons did so to different degrees in the lateral and medial LH/PFA. In the lateral LH/PFA, Fos was induced in orexin cells to a significantly greater degree in olanzapine-treated animals than chlorpromazine- and risperidone-injected rats. Clozapine also induced Fos in a significantly higher percentage of lateral LH/PFA orexin cells than did risperidone and tended to exert a greater effect than chlorpromazine (p = 0.0502). In contrast, the four APDs that increased Fos expression did so to a similar degree in the medial LH/PFA. There was, however, a different pattern of changes when Fos expression was examined in non-orexin neurons: APDs that cause weight gain induced Fos in non-orexin neurons of the medial LH/PFA, whereas in the lateral LH/PFA only clozapine and olanzapine increased the density of these cells (Table 1).

Amphetamine actions on Fos expression in orexin neurons

Amphetamine significantly increased the percentage of orexin cells expressing Fos-li in the medial (t9 = 2.64; p <=  0.05) but not the lateral (t9 = 1.32; NS) LH/PFA (Fig. 2). Amphetamine did not induce Fos in MCH-li cells (t8 = 1.48; NS), nor in non-orexin neurons (medial: t10 = 1.72, NS; lateral: t10 = 1.32, NS).

Cortical CTb deposits involved the prelimbic, infralimbic, and occasionally shoulder cortices, and labeled scattered cells in the LH/PFA (Fig. 3), of which 32.0 ± 2.3% were orexin-immunoreactive. The mean number of retrogradely labeled cells in the two sections through the LH/PFA did not differ significantly between clozapine-treated (81 ± 19) and amphetamine-treated (63 ± 11) rats (t5 = 0.42; NS).

Amphetamine and clozapine differed markedly in the degree to which they induced Fos in orexin neurons projecting to the PFC (t5 = 3.48; p <=  0.02). Fos was expressed in ~75% of the retrogradely labeled orexin neurons in clozapine-treated animals; amphetamine induced Fos in <30% of these cells (Figs. 3, 4).

Fos expression was induced in orexin neurons by APDs that cause significant weight gain but not by those APDs with low weight gain liability. However, amphetamine also activated orexin neurons. This paradox was resolved by the finding that clozapine markedly increased Fos expression in orexin neurons that innervate the PFC, whereas amphetamine had a weak effect on this population of orexin neurons.

Relation of antipsychotic drug-induced weight gain and Fos induction in orexin neurons

Treatment with clozapine, olanzapine, risperidone, and chlorpromazine causes significant weight gain, whereas haloperidol, fluphenazine, and ziprasidone result in minimal weight gain (Wetterling and Mussigbrodt, 1999; Taylor and McAskill, 2000; Allison and Casey, 2001). We found that APDs that increase weight activate orexin neurons, as reflected by Fos induction. Conversely, APDs that do not cause weight gain do not activate orexin cells. APDs that cause weight gain did not activate the MCH-li neurons of the LH/PFA, although MCH also increases food intake (Edwards et al., 1999).

The degree to which clozapine induced Fos in orexin neurons was not dose-dependent; this mirrors the clinical situation, in which the amount of weight gained is not related to the dose of a particular APD (Allison and Casey, 2001; Basson et al., 2001). However, different APDs increase weight to different degrees. For example, clozapine and olanzapine cause greater weight gain in adults than chlorpromazine and risperidone (Allison et al., 1999). We found that olanzapine and clozapine exerted greater effects on orexin neurons in the lateral LH/PFA than did chlorpromazine and risperidone. In contrast, amphetamine activated orexin neurons in the medial but not lateral LH/PFA. These observations suggest that orexin neurons in the lateral LH/PFA may be involved in APD-induced weight gain, but medial orexin neurons may subserve other functions.

Mechanisms of antipsychotic drug-induced activation of orexin neurons

Because clozapine and amphetamine activate different groups of orexin neurons, it is likely that changes in the activity of afferents or hormonal signals to these orexin neurons determine the response. The identity of these afferents is unknown, but may include the PFC and nucleus accumbens, regions that receive dopaminergic projections from the A10 cell group and project to the LH/PFA (Sesack et al., 1989; Heimer et al., 1991). Feeding increases DA release in both the PFC and accumbens (Feenstra and Botterblom, 1996; Taber and Fibiger, 1997; Ahn and Phillips, 1999). Stratford and Kelley (1999) have suggested that the involvement of the accumbens in feeding behavior depends upon glutamatergic projections to the LH.

The receptor mechanisms that subserve APD-induced weight gain are of considerable interest (Basile et al., 2001; Casey and Zorn, 2001). D2 dopamine receptors are probably not crucial, because haloperidol mainly targets D2 receptors in vivo (Schotte et al., 1996) yet causes relatively little weight gain. The four APDs that we tested that increase weight have high affinities for multiple receptors, including 5-HT2A/C, D1, and alpha 1 receptors (Schotte et al., 1996; Zhang and Bymaster, 1999). However, ziprasidone has a similarly rich receptor profile (Zhang and Bymaster, 1999; Casey and Zorn, 2001), suggesting that the aforementioned receptors do not subserve APD-induced weight gain. There is a strong correlation between APD affinities for the histamine H1 receptor and weight gain, suggesting that the H1 receptor plays an important role (Wirshing et al., 1999).

The receptors that are targeted by APDs that induce weight gain may be present on orexin neurons or on afferents to the orexin neurons, such as neurons of the PFC. Alternatively, peripherally derived signals may be critical. Leptin, which is released from adipose tissue, inhibits food intake (Meister, 2000). The long form of the leptin receptor is localized to the great majority of orexin cells (Iqbal et al., 2001). However, MCH neurons, which are not activated by APDs that cause weight gain, also express the leptin receptor (Iqbal et al., 2001), and there does not appear to be a correlation between the magnitude of APD-induced weight gain and APD-elicited changes in leptin (Melkersson and Hulting, 2001).

Orexin neurons contain other transmitters that may contribute to or be the proximate effector of changes in food intake and metabolism. Although the phenotype of the prepro-orexin knock-out mouse is limited to narcolepsy (Chemelli et al., 1999), transgenic mice with a targeted loss of orexin neurons caused by an ataxin-3 trinucleotide repeat expressed under the orexin promotor are hypophagic as well as narcoleptic (Hara et al., 2001). It is possible that the loss of a transmitter that is colocalized with orexin (Hakansson et al., 1999; Chou et al., 2001) may be the critical factor for weight changes rather than orexin. It is interesting to note that Fos expression in non-orexin-containing neurons was increased in the medial LH/PFA by APDs that cause weight gain; these cells are not localized to a single cytoarchitectonically defined nucleus and probably represent a heterogeneous group of neurons. Future studies will be required to identify the phenotype of these neurons and to determine if there is a correlation between APD-induced activation of any specific type of neuron (other than orexin) and weight gain.

Clinical implications of orexin neurons and the actions of antipsychotic drugs

Weight gain appears to be correlated positively with clinical response to APDs (Lamberti et al., 1992; Leadbetter et al., 1992; Meltzer et al., 2002). This suggests that activation of orexin neurons projecting to the PFC may be involved in the therapeutic as well as the side effects of some APDs. There appears to be a dopaminergic dysfunction in the PFC in schizophrenia, including a decreased density of the cortical DA innervation (Akil et al., 1999). Intraventricular administration of orexin leads to a dopamine-dependent increase in locomotor activity (Nakamura et al., 2000), and orexin activates certain A10 DA neurons (Uramura et al., 2001), but data on orexin-induced DA release in terminal fields such as the PFC are lacking. Interestingly, APDs that increase Fos expression in orexin neurons also increase DA release in the PFC (Hertel et al., 1996; Li et al., 1998). In contrast, haloperidol neither activates orexin neurons nor evokes DA release in the PFC (Li et al., 1998). The ability of certain APDs to induce weight gain may lead to a better clinical response by increasing cortical DA release through an orexin-dependent mechanism.

Heterogeneity of orexin neurons

We found that approximately one-third of LH/PFA neurons that were retrogradely labeled from the PFC expressed orexin. Similarly, approximately one-third of orexin cells were retrogradely labeled from the PFC. Thus, despite the very small number of neurons that contribute to the orexin innervation of virtually the entire neuraxis, some orexin neurons have discrete projection targets. We have recently observed that <5% of the orexin neurons that innervate the PFC collateralize to innervate the central gray (our unpublished observations), indicating that at least some orexin neurons do not collateralize widely. Thus, one can distinguish distinct groups of orexin neurons on hodological grounds. We found that within a population of orexin neurons defined on the basis of projection target, one can also distinguish functional subsets of neurons by the different responses to clozapine and amphetamine.

The presence of various transmitter receptors differs across orexin neurons and afferents to different orexin neurons vary (Broberger et al., 1998; Elias et al., 1998; Kilduff and de Lecea, 2001). It has been clear that orexin has a number of different functional roles. Nonetheless, most studies have considered the orexin neurons as a unitary group. The present data emphasize the heterogeneous nature of the orexin neurons. Elucidating the regulatory processes that govern the differential activation of orexin neurons will be necessary to reveal fully the functional roles of orexin.
