The G protein-coupled orphan receptor 146 (GPR146) was found to be highly expressed in murine and human adipose tissue. We revealed an adipose GPR146 increase during a 3-month weight reduction in our human MAINTAIN study. Therefore, we analyzed GPR146 correlations in MAINTAIN and metabolically characterized Gpr146-deficient mice (GPR146-/-).

GPR146-/- males were extensively phenotyped under diet-induced obesity (DIO) feeding a standard-control (STD), high-fat (HFD) and western diet (WD) for 3 month. We investigated basal metabolic parameters, body composition, and glucose and insulin sensitivity. Moreover, adipocyte differentiation, lipid metabolism, activity and energy expenditure was examined. For it, glucose challenges, hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamps, indirect calorimetry, lipid tolerance and other in vitro and ex vivo experiments were performed focusing on liver and adipose tissue parameters in cells and GPR146-/- mice.

We observed decreased weight together with reduced fat content during DIO, while lean mass increased under HFD and even more under WD. Generally, GPR146-/- exhibited lower plasma concentrations of cholesterol, triglycerides and free fatty acids regardless of diet. While activity was comparable under STD, GPR146-/- mice exhibited low activity from beginning of WD, at which fatty diet intake is significantly reduced. Energy expenditure seemed to be elevated and glucose handling and insulin sensitivity improved in GPR146-/- during DIO. RNA sequencing primarily revealed adipose inflammatory pathways regulated under HFD and lean-phenotype-associated immune cells were observed in GPR146-/- feeding WD.

In summary, Gpr146-null mice preserve an anti-inflammatory immune cell profile, and show beneficial changes in body weight progression and lipid metabolism against obesity-inducing diets.
