Project description:The circadian clock drives extensive temporal gene expression programs controlling daily changes in behavior and physiology. In mouse liver, transcription factors dynamics, chromatin modifications, and RNA Polymerase II (PolII) activity oscillate throughout the 24-hour (24h) day, regulating the rhythmic synthesis of thousands of transcripts. Also, 24h rhythms in gene promoter-enhancer chromatin looping accompany rhythmic mRNA synthesis. However, how chromatin organization impinges on temporal transcription and liver physiology remains unclear. Here, we applied time-resolved chromosome conformation capture (4C-seq) in livers of WT and arrhythmic Bmal1 knockout mice. In WT, we observed 24h oscillations in promoter-enhancer loops at multiple loci including the core-clock genes Period1, Period2 and Bmal1. In addition, we detected rhythmic PolII activity, chromatin modifications and transcription involving stable chromatin loops at clock-output gene promoters representing key liver function such as glucose metabolism and detoxification. Intriguingly, these contacts persisted in clock-impaired mice in which both PolII activity and chromatin marks no longer oscillated. Finally, we observed chromatin interaction hubs connecting neighbouring genes showing coherent transcription regulation across genotypes. Thus, both clock-controlled and clock-independent chromatin topology underlie rhythmic regulation of liver physiology.

Project description:The role of circadian clocks in regulating metabolic processes has been studied extensively. Yet, the physiological impacts of the circadian system on metabolic states across species and life stages remain to be explored. This study investigates the relationship between circadian rhythms and metabolic regulation in the fat body of Drosophila larva, an organ crucial for maintaining metabolic homeostasis, growth and developmental timing. Larval fat body is analogous to the mammalian liver and adipose tissue but lacks a canonical circadian clock. Around-the-clock RNA-sequencing analysis on the fat bodies of wild-type and period clock gene null mutant larvae revealed circadian rhythms in the transcriptome of wild-type larvae. Surprisingly, period mutant exhibited 12-h rhythms in the expression of numerous genes, particularly those involved in peroxisome function, lipid metabolism, and oxidative stress response. Consistent with these transcriptomic data, peroxisome biogenesis and activity demonstrated 12-h rhythms in period mutant fat bodies. Furthermore, levels of reactive oxygen species displayed inverse-phased rhythms to that of lipid peroxidation, with 24-h rhythms in wild-type and 12-h rhythms in period mutant fat bodies. Moreover, while daily fat storage levels in wild-type larvae remained constant, period mutants exhibited fluctuations with a 12-h period and a net reduction in body fat storage. Collectively, our results identified a clock-independent ultradian rhythms in lipid metabolism, which may contribute to maintaining the metabolic, energetic, and redox homeostasis essential for larval survival and development.

Project description:Chromatin organization plays a crucial role in gene regulation by controlling the accessibility of DNA to transcription machinery. While significant progress has been made in understanding the regulatory role of clock proteins in circadian rhythms, how chromatin organization affects circadian rhythms remains poorly understood. Here, we employed ATAC-seq (Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin with Sequencing) on FAC-sorted Drosophila clock neurons to assess genome-wide chromatin accessibility at dawn and dusk over the circadian cycle. We observed significant oscillations in chromatin accessibility at promoter and enhancer regions of hundreds of genes, with enhanced accessibility either at dusk or dawn, which correlated with their peak transcriptional activity. Notably, genes with enhanced accessibility at dusk were enriched with E-box motifs, while those more accessible at dawn were enriched with VRI/PDP1-box motifs, indicating that they are regulated by the core circadian feedback loops, PER/CLK and VRI/PDP1, respectively. Further, we observed a complete loss of chromatin accessibility rhythms in per01 null mutants, with chromatin consistently accessible at both dawn and dusk, underscoring the critical role of Period protein in driving chromatin compaction during the repression phase at dawn. Together, this study demonstrates the significant role of chromatin organization in circadian regulation, revealing how the interplay between clock proteins and chromatin structure orchestrates the precise timing of biological processes throughout the day. This work further implies that variations in chromatin accessibility might play a central role in the generation of diverse circadian gene expression patterns in clock neurons.

Project description:Circadian (~24 hour) clocks exist in almost all types of living organism and play a fundamental role in regulating daily physiological and behavioural processes. The transcription factor BMAL1 (ARNTL) is thought to be one of the principal drivers of the molecular clock in mammals since its deletion abolishes 24-hour activity patterning, an important physiological output of the clockwork. However, whether or not Bmal1-/- mice can nevertheless display molecular 24-hour rhythms is unknown. Here, we determined whether Bmal1 function is necessary for daily molecular oscillations in two tissues – skin fibroblasts and liver. Unexpectedly, both tissues exhibited robust 24-hour oscillations over 2-3 days in the absence of any exogenous synchronizers such as daily light or temperature cycles. This demonstrates a competent 24-hour molecular pacemaker in Bmal1 knockouts. Indeed, molecular oscillations were pervasive throughout the transcriptome, proteome and phosphoproteome of Bmal1-/- mice. In particular, several proteins exhibited rhythmic phosphorylation in both Bmal1-proficient and -deficient cells, highlighting an unanticipated role for post-translational regulators in 24-hour rhythms in the absence of any known clock mechanisms.

Project description:Ketone bodies, intermediates in energy metabolism and signaling, have attracted significant attention due to their role in health and disease. We performed around the clock study on ketone bodies and ketogenesis with mice on different diets. We found that caloric restriction, a dietary intervention that improves metabolism and longevity, induced high amplitude circadian rhythms in blood βOHB. The blood βOHB rhythms resulted from rhythmic ketogenesis in the liver controlled by the interaction between the circadian clock and PPAR transcriptional networks. This interaction results in transcriptional reprogramming of in beta-oxidation and ketogenesis enzymes. The reprogramming is impaired in circadian clock mutant mice. The circadian clock gated ketogenesis contributes to the diet impact on health and longevity.
