Abstract

Obesity or an obesity-related disease is treated by administering to a person in need thereof a type II myosin activator, and optionally detecting a resultant improvement in the obesity or an obesity-related disease.

Description

Brown Adipose Tissue Myosin II Activators for Metabolic Therapy
This invention was made with government support under Grant Number DK118940 awarded by the National Institutes of Health. The government has certain rights in the invention.
[001] Introduction
[002] Brown adipose tissue (BAT), acts as a thermoregulator by uncoupling oxidative phosphorylation through uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) and holds the promise of enhancing energy expenditure for the treatment of metabolic diseases. Adrenergic signaling is viewed as a key regulator of thermogenesis and UCP1 expression in BAT, while also operating as a potent contractile stimulator in muscle. However, current approaches for treating obesity -related disease by relying on activation of B-adrenergic receptors or nuclear transcription factors (PPARgamma) activators (rosiglitazone) have been fraught with severe side-effects.
[003] Upon adrenergic stimulation, BAT utilizes key components of muscular contractile machinery, specifically the actomyosin network, to generate tensional responses. Furthermore, during differentiation, brown and beige adipocytes have a unique type II myosin (MyH) expression pattern. Disruption of the actomyosin network using type II myosin inhibitors such as blebbistatin or 2,3BDM results in a decrease in brown adipose function. See, Tharp et ah, 2018, Cell Metabolism 27, 602-615.

[032] Description of Particular Embodiments of the Invention
[033] Unless contraindicated or noted otherwise, in these descriptions and throughout this specification, the terms “a” and “an” mean one or more, the term “or” means and/or. The examples and embodiments described herein are for illustrative purposes only and that various modifications or changes in light thereof will be suggested to persons skilled in the art and are to be included within the spirit and purview of this application and scope of the appended claims. All publications, patents, and patent applications cited herein, including citations therein, are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety for all purposes.
[034] We disclose therapeutic methods and pharmaceutical compositions for treating obesity and obesity-associated disorders with an activator of type II myosin. We report that we can stimulate brown and beige adipose tissue by increasing myosin activity. We used a convolutional neural network for structure-based drug discovery, including the development of homology models to target Myosin proteins and 166 compounds we predicted to bind to either MyH4 or MyHl 1. We report that increasing the ATPase activity of the myosin isoforms results in an increase in brown and beige adipose function, including respiration, as a result of increased UCP1 expression and cellular respiration, and that Myosin II activators show the ability to increase the expression of uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1), a pivotal determinant of uncoupled respiration, in murine and human brown and beige cells.
[035] Animal models of human obesity and obesity-associated disesase. After demonstrating that the compounds are effective to stimulate respiration in brown adipocytes, we applied the activators to two animal models of human obesity and obesity related disorders (such as type-2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease) to demonstrate these compounds may be used to treat human obesity and obesity associated disorders [036] B6.Cg-Lepob/J (Jackson laboratory, Bar Harbor ME). Mice homozygous for the obese spontaneous mutation, Lepob (commonly referred to as ob or ob/ob), exhibit obesity, hyperphagia, transient hyperglycemia, glucose intolerance, and elevated plasma insulin. Obesity is characterized by an increase in the number and size of adipocytes. Although hyperphagia contributes to the obesity, homozygotes gain excess weight and deposit excess fat even when restricted to a diet sufficient for normal weight maintenance in lean mice.
