HFD-exacerbated Metabolic Side Effects of Olanzapine Are Suppressed by ER Stress Inhibitor.
Current Medical Science 2023 December 12
OBJECTIVE: Numerous schizophrenic patients are suffering from obesity primarily attributed to antipsychotic medication and poor dietary habits. This study investigated the progressive deterioration of olanzapine-induced metabolic disorders in the presence of a high-fat diet (HFD) and explored the involvement of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress.
METHODS: Female Sprague-Dawley rats fed on a standard chow diet or HFD were treated with olanzapine (3 mg/kg/day) and the ER stress inhibitor 4-phenylbutyric acid (4-PBA, 1 and 0.5 g/kg/day) for 8 days. Changes in body weight, food intake, and plasma lipids were assessed. Hepatic fat accumulation was evaluated using oil red O staining. Western blotting and immunofluorescence assays were employed to examine the expression of ER stress markers, NOD-like receptor pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3), and proopiomelanocortin (POMC) in the hypothalamus or liver.
RESULTS: Compared to olanzapine alone, olanzapine+HFD induced greater weight gain, increased hyperlipidemia, and enhanced hepatic fat accumulation (P<0.05). Co-treatment with 4-PBA exhibited a dose-dependent inhibition of these effects (P<0.05). Further mechanistic investigations revealed that olanzapine alone activated ER stress, upregulated NLRP3 expression in the hypothalamus and liver, and downregulated hypothalamic POMC expression. The HFD exacerbated these effects by 50%-100%. Moreover, co-administration of 4-PBA dose-dependently attenuated the olanzapine+HFD-induced alterations in ER stress, NLRP3, and POMC expression in the hypothalamus and liver (P<0.05).
CONCLUSION: HFD worsened olanzapine-induced weight gain and lipid metabolic disorders, possibly through ER stress-POMC and ER stress-NLRP3 signaling. ER stress inhibitors could be effective in preventing olanzapine+HFD-induced metabolic disorders.
