Reduced Notch signaling in hypothalamic endothelial cells mediates obesity-induced alterations in glucose uptake and insulin signalingCell reports · 2025
Summary (written by the submitters)
Short term transition to high-fat diet (HFD) feeding causes rapid changes in the molecular architecture of the blood-brain-barrier (BBB), BBB permeability and brain glucose uptake. However, the precise mechanisms responsible for these changes remain elusive. Here we detected a rapid downregulation of Notch signaling after short-term HFD feeding.

Conversely, Notch activation restores HFD-fed mouse serum induced reduction of Glut1 expression and glycolysis in cultured brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMECs). Selective, inducible expression of Notch-intracellular domain (IC) in BMECs prevents HFD-induced reduction of Glut1 expression and hypothalamic glucose uptake. Caveolin (Cav)-1 expression in BMECs is increased upon short term HFD feeding. However, NotchICBMECs mice display reduced caveola formation and BBB permeability. This ultimately translates into reduced hypothalamic insulin transport, action and systemic insulin sensitivity. Collectively, we highlight a critical role of Notch-signaling in the pleiotropic effects of short-term dietary transitions on BBB functionality.

Download · which file do I need?

Direct links to NCBI and ENA, no account and no request form. Pick by what you want to do: take the small processed table to look, the supplementary files to re-analyse, or the original raw data to start over.

1 · Just have a look

Processed table

The series matrix: one table of values per sample as the submitters processed it. The smallest download, and it opens in Excel or R. Start here to see what the data look like.

2 · Re-analyse it

Supplementary files

The count tables and other files the authors uploaded. Take only the samples you need, or the whole study as GSE210620_RAW.tar (it can run to tens of gigabytes).

3 · Start from the raw reads

Raw sequencing reads

The original FASTQ files, straight from the sequencer, held at ENA. Large, and you align them yourself, so only choose this if you need to re-process the study from scratch.

What the files usually look like: For RNA-seq the counts are usually a table among the supplementary files (look for 'counts', 'expression', 'FPKM' or 'TPM' in the file name). The series matrix of a sequencing study is sometimes nearly empty.

Also filed as BioProject PRJNA866497 and SRA study SRP390148. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.
