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 detect 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 the 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.
