REV-ERB nuclear receptors in the suprachiasmatic nucleus control circadian period and restrict diet-induced obesity

ABSTRACT: Circadian disruption, as shift work, is associated with metabolic diseases, including obesity and fatty liver, often attributed to discordance between internal clocks and environmental timekeepers1-5. However, this desynchrony hypothesis has not been rigorously tested. The body’s master clock, located in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), synchronizes peripheral clocks and ultimately metabolism2,6. Molecular clocks are comprised of transcriptional translational feedback loops involving gene activation by BMAL1, which is rhythmically repressed by separate mechanisms involving PER/CRY and REV-ERB nuclear receptors. Mice harboring whole body deletion of REV-ERBa/b have been reported to be arrhythmic7. However, we report here that mice lacking REV-ERBs specifically in the SCN maintain free-running and metabolic rhythms, but these are strikingly shortened by nearly 3 hours. When housed under a 24 hours light-dark cycle and fed an obesogenic diet, these mice gained excess weight and accrued more liver fat than controls. Remarkably, these metabolic disturbances were corrected by matching environmental lighting to the shortened endogenous clock period. Thus, SCN REV-ERBs are not required to maintain rhythmicity but powerfully control the free-running period. Moreover, these results support the hypothesis that dissonance between environmental conditions and endogenous period causes metabolic disruption. This has important implications for chronotherapy of metabolic and behavioral disorders.

The Hepatocyte Clock and Feeding Interdependently Control Chrono-Homeostasis of Multiple Liver Cell Types (single nuclei RNA-seq)

Project description:Most cells in the body contain a cell autonomous molecular clock, but the requirement of peripheral clocks for circadian rhythmicity, and their effects on physiology, are not well understood. Here we show that deletion of core clock components REV-ERBa and b in adult mouse hepatocytes caused the loss of circadian rhythmicity of many liver genes, as expected, but also led to maintained and even gained rhythmicity of other genes without altering feeding behavior. The loss of REV-ERBs from hepatocytes leads to an exaggerated circadian rhythm of de novo lipogenesis and serum triglyceride levels. It is increasingly recognized that liver function is also influenced by non-hepatocytic cells, and remarkably the loss of REV-ERBs in hepatocytes remodeled the circadian transcriptomes of multiple cell types within the liver without altering their core clocks, indicating that hepatocytes communicated time signals to the non-hepatocytic cells. Finally, alteration of food availability, which is the dominant zeitgeber in the liver, demonstrated strong interdependence of the cell-autonomous hepatocyte clock mechanism and non-cell-autonomous environmental change. Together these studies reveal the interdependence of endogenous hepatocyte clocks and feeding entrainment on the regulation of circadian rhythms of multiple cell types in the liver.

The circadian REV-ERB nuclear receptors are essential drivers of heart metabolism and function

Project description:The heart is a highly metabolic organ that uses multiple energy sources to meet its demand for ATP production. Diurnal feeding-fasting cycles result in substrate availability fluctuations which, together with increased energetic demand during the active period, impose a need for rhythmic cardiac metabolism. The nuclear receptors REV-ERBa and b are essential repressive components of the molecular circadian clock and major regulators of metabolism. To investigate their role in the heart, we generated mice with cardiomyocyte (CM)-specific deletion of both Rev-erbs, which died prematurely due to dilated cardiomyopathy. Loss of Rev-erbs markedly downregulated fatty acid oxidation genes prior to overt pathology, which was mediated by induction of the transcriptional repressor E4BP4, a direct target of cardiac REV-ERBs. E4BP4 directly controls circadian expression of Nampt and its biosynthetic product NAD+ via distal cis-regulatory elements. Thus, REV-ERB-mediated E4BP4 repression is required for Nampt expression and NAD+ production by the salvage pathway. Together, these results highlight the indispensable role of circadian REV-ERBs in cardiac gene expression, metabolic homeostasis and function.

REV-ERBa and REV-ERBb function as key factors regulating Mammalian Circadian Output

Project description:The circadian clock regulates behavioural and physiological processes in a 24-h cycle. The nuclear receptors REV-ERBa and REV-ERBb are involved in the cell-autonomous circadian transcriptional/translational feedback loops as transcriptional repressors. A number of studies have also demonstrated a pivotal role of REV-ERBs in regulation of metabolic, neuronal, and inflammatory functions including bile acid metabolism, lipid metabolism, and production of inflammatory cytokines. Given the multifunctional role of REV-ERBs, it is important to elucidate the mechanism through which REV-ERBs exert their functions. To this end, we established a Rev-erba/Rev-erbb double-knockout mouse embryonic stem (ES) cell model and analyzed the circadian clock and clock-controlled output gene expressions. A comprehensive mRNA-seq analysis revealed that the complete knockout of both Rev-erba and Rev-erbb does not abrogate expression rhythms of E-box-regulated core clock genes but drastically changes a diverse set of other rhythmically-expressed output genes. Of note, REV-ERBa/b deficiency does not compromise circadian expression rhythms of PER2, while REV-ERB target genes, Bmal1 and Npas2, are significantly upregulated. This study emphasizes REV-ERBs function to form an essential link between the circadian clock and a wide variety of cellular physiological functions.

Identifying PTMs on PERIOD over a circadian day in Drosophila melanogaster

Project description:Circadian clocks coordinate time-of-day specific metabolic and physiological processes to maximize performance and fitness. In addition to light, which is considered the strongest time cue to entrain animal circadian clocks, metabolic input has emerged as an important signal for clock modulation and entrainment, especially in peripheral clocks. Circadian clock proteins have been to be substrates of O-GlcNAcylation, a nutrient sensitive post-translational modification (PTM), and the interplay between clock protein O-GlcNAcylation and other PTMs, like phosphorylation, is expected to facilitate the regulation of circadian physiology by metabolic signals. Here, we used mass spectrometry proteomics to identify PTMs on PERIOD, the key biochemical timer of the Drosophila clock, over the circadian cycle.

Diurnal cycle effect on whole leaf, mesophyll and vasculature: time course

Project description:Many organisms acquired circadian clock system to adapt daily and seasonal environmental changes. Mammals have the master clock in the brains’ suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) that synchronizes other circadian clocks in the peripheral tissues or organs. Plants also have circadian clock in their bodies, but the presence of the tissue-specific functions of circadian clock is remained elusive. The aim of this experiment is to compare tissue-specific gene expression profile using gene expression Microarray.

SR9009 has REV-ERB-independent effects on cell proliferation and metabolism

Project description:The nuclear receptors (NRs) REV-ERBα and β, encoded by Nr1d1 and Nr1d2, link circadian rhythms and metabolism. REV-ERB lacks the canonical NR activation domain, and thus functions as a transcriptional repressor. Like other NRs, REV-ERBs can be regulated by ligands, including naturally occurring heme, which potentiate their repressive activity. Attempts to pharmacologically target REV-ERBs by the use of putatively specific synthetic agonists, particularly SR90096, have suggested a wide range of beneficial effects in healthy as well as diseased animal models and cell systems. For instance, Sulli et al. recently reported that REV-ERB activation by SR9009 is specifically lethal to cancer (stem) cells but not other cell types. Because REV-ERBs are core components of the molecular clock, the results were interpreted as a link between the body’s circadian timekeeping system and cancer. Moreover, increased energy expenditure after SR9009 administration decreases obesity in mice, and the reported activity of SR9009 as an exercise mimetic in skeletal muscle have resulted in online sales of the compound as a performance-enhancing drug, with advertisements reassuringly highlighting REV-ERBs as the molecular target (https://www.evolutionary.org/stenabolic-sr9009-review; https://www.simplyanabolics.com/sarms/sr9009-stenabolic/).

Targeting Glioblastoma Stem Cells through Disruption of the Circadian Clock [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Glioblastomas are highly lethal cancers, containing self-renewing glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs). Here, we show that GSCs, differentiated glioblastoma cells (DGCs), and normal brain cultures all displayed robust circadian rhythms, yet GSCs alone displayed exquisite dependence on core clock transcription factors, BMAL1 and CLOCK, for optimal cell growth. Downregulation of BMAL1 or CLOCK in GSCs induced cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Chromatin immunoprecipitation revealed BMAL1 preferentially bound at metabolic genes in GSCs, associated with differences in active chromatin regions compared to NSCs. Targeting BMAL1 or CLOCK attenuated mitochondrial metabolic function and reduced expression of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle enzymes. Small molecule agonists of two independent BMAL1::CLOCK negative regulators, the Cryptochromes and REV-ERBs, downregulated stem cell factors and reduced GSC growth. Combination of Cryptochrome and REV-ERB agonists induced synergistic anti-tumor efficacy. Collectively, GSCs coopt circadian regulators beyond canonical circadian circuitry to promote stemness maintenance and metabolism, offering novel therapeutic paradigms.
