Project description:Peripheral nervous system injuries lead to long-term neurological disability due to limited axonal regenerative ability. Injury-dependent and more recently injury-independent physiological mechanisms have provided important molecular insight into regenerative mechanisms. However, whether common molecular denominators underpinning both injury-dependent and independent biological processes exist remains unclear. We initially performed a comparative analysis of recently generated transcriptomic datasets associated with the regenerative ability of sciatic dorsal root ganglia (DRG). Surprisingly, circadian rhythms were identified as a the most significantly enriched biological process associated with regenerative capability. We demonstrate that DRG neurons possess an endogenous circadian clock with a 24h oscillations of circadian genes and that their regenerative ability displays a diurnal oscillation in a mouse model of sciatic nerve injury. Consistently, transcriptomic analysis of DRG neurons showed a significant time-of-day dependent enrichment for processes associated with neuronal development and axonal growth, for regeneration and circadian associated genes, including the core clock genes Bmal1 and Clock. Indeed, DRG-specific ablation of the non-redundant clock gene Bmal1showed that it is required for regenerative gene expression, neuronal intrinsic circadian axonal regeneration and target reinnervation. Lastly, Lithium, a chrono-active compound, enhanced nerve regeneration, in wildtype but not in clock genes Bmal1 and Cry1/2-deficient mice. Together, these data demonstrate that daily rhythms and the circadian clock fine-tune the regenerative response of DRG neurons, and they advocate for the use of chrono-active strategies in time-day dependent modulation of nerve repair.

Project description:Axon regeneration of dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurons after peripheral axotomy involves epigenetic reconfigurations that rewire gene regulatory circuits to establish regenerative gene program. However, the mechanisms and transcriptional regulators remain poorly understood. Here, we conducted an unbiased survey of DNA differentially hydroxymethylated regions (DhMRs) in DRG after peripheral lesion, which identified enriched binding motif for Bmal1, a transcription factor and a central regulator of the circadian clock. Through applying conditional deletion of Bmal1, in vitro and in vivo models of axon regrowth, and transcriptomic profiling, we showed that Bmal1 inhibits axon regeneration in part through Tet3-dependent manner. Mechanistically, Bmal1 functions as a gatekeeper of neuroepigenetic injury responses by limiting Tet3 expression and restricting 5hmC modifications. Notably, Bmal1-regulated genes after axotomy not only concern axon guidance and axon regrowth, but also stress responses, energy homeostasis, and neuroinflammation. Furthermore, we uncovered diurnal oscillation of Tet3 and 5hmC in DRG neurons, and this epigenetic rhythm corresponded to time-of-day effect on axon growth potential. Collectively, our studies showed that Bmal1 deletion mimics the conditioning lesion in lifting epigenetic barriers to enhance axon regeneration.

Project description:The mammalian circadian clock is a molecular oscillator composed of a feedback loop that involves transcriptional activators CLOCK and BMAL1, and repressors Cryptochrome (CRY) and Period (PER). Here we show that a direct CLOCK-BMAL1 target gene, Gm129, is a novel regulator of the feedback loop. ChIP analysis revealed that the CLOCK:BMAL1:CRY1 complex strongly occupies the promoter region of Gm129. Both mRNA and protein levels of GM129 exhibit high amplitude circadian oscillations in mouse liver, and Gm129 gene encodes a nuclear-localized protein that directly interacts with BMAL1 and represses CLOCK:BMAL1 activity. In vitro and in vivo protein-DNA interaction results demonstrate that, like CRY1, GM129 functions as a repressor by binding to the CLOCK:BMAL1 complex on DNA. Although Gm129-/- or Cry1-/- Gm129-/- mice retain a robust circadian rhythm, the peaks of Nr1d1 and Dbp mRNAs in liver exhibit significant phase delay compared to control. Our results suggest that, in addition to CRYs and PERs, GM129 protein contributes to the transcriptional feedback loop by modulating CLOCK:BMAL1 activity as a transcriptional repressor.

Project description:Purpose: The goals of this study are to evaluate the impact of the removal of the key circadian clock component BMAL1 on the transcriptome of cone photoreceptors Methods: Cone mRNA profiles of adult wild-type (WT, HRGPcre;Bmal1f/+) and cone-specific BMAL1 (HRGPcre;Bmal1f/f or cone-Bmal1−/−) mice were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina GAIIx. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed at the transcript isoform level with two methods: Burrows–Wheeler Aligner (BWA) followed by ANOVA (ANOVA) and TopHat followed by Cufflinks. qRT–PCR validation was performed using TaqMan and SYBR Green assays Results: Comparison of the cone transcriptome between cone-Bmal1-/- and wild-type littermates at a single time point (middle of the light phase) revealed 88 genes differentially expressed (P < 0.05, fold change > 2). As expected, these 88 genes included known clock components but also genes known to be involved in a wide range of functions: gene regulation, neuron development and structure, protein binding, and transport. Conclusions: Our study represents the first detailed analysis of cone-BMAL1 transcriptomes, with biologic replicates, generated by RNA-seq technology. These data are consistent with the view that the cone clock controls many aspects of the development, maintenance, and function of the cones through its control of the transcriptome.

Project description:Purpose: In this study we employed unbiased, genome-wide techniques to investigate how inflammation-induced NF-kB activation by acute (LPS vs. saline) and chronic (high-fat diet vs. regular chow) environmental stimuli leads to circadian disruption. Methods: We performed ChIP-seq with antibodies directed against the p65 subunit of NF-kB, CLOCK, BMAL1, H3K27Ac and RNA Poll II in livers from mice treated with LPS or saline. ChIP-seq analysis was also performed in livers from mice that were fed high-fat diet for 4 weeks or regular chow. In addition, we performed ChIP-seq with BMAL1 in mouse embryonic fibroblast deficient in p65. Results: Induction of NF-kB reconfigures the genome-wide position of core clock transcription factors. Acute (i.e. LPS) and chronic (e.g. high-fat diet) inflammation-induced NF-kB re-localizes components of the forward limb of clock (CLOCK/BMAL1) to sites convergent with NF-kB and acetylated H3K27 and enriched in RNA POL II in liver. In addition, NF-kB activation leads to higher p65 binding specific to E-box elements within the negative limb of the clock with both acute and chronic stimuli. Conclusions: Our findings cast new light on NF-kB as a pivotal genomic control node integrating metabolic inflammation and circadian systems at both the cellular and organismal levels. In particular, NF-kB directly regulates the expression of the negative limb of the clock while at the same time the clock activator TFs CLOCK/BMAL1 co-localize with NF-kB at new sites to regulate transcription following inflammatory stimuli. In addition, our data indicate significant overlap between NF-kB activation following both acute and chronic inflammatory challenges in liver.

Project description:In mammals, circadian clocks are strictly suppressed during early embryonic stages as well as pluripotent stem cells, by the lack of CLOCK/BMAL1 mediated circadian feedback loops. During ontogenesis, the innate circadian clocks emerge gradually at a late developmental stage, then, with which the circadian temporal order is invested in each cell level throughout a body. Meanwhile, in the early developmental stage, a segmented body plan is essential for an intact developmental process and somitogenesis is controlled by another cell-autonomous oscillator, the segmentation clock, in the posterior presomitic mesoderm (PSM). In the present study, focusing upon the interaction between circadian key components and the segmentation clock, we investigated the effect of the CLOCK/BMAL1 on the segmentation clock Hes7 oscillation, revealing that the expression of functional CLOCK/BMAL1 severely interferes with the ultradian rhythm of segmentation clock in induced PSM and gastruloids. RNA sequencing analysis showed that the premature expression of CLOCK/BMAL1 affects the Hes7 transcription and its regulatory pathways. These results suggest that the suppression of CLOCK/BMAL1-mediated transcriptional regulation during the somitogenesis may be inevitable for intact mammalian development.

Project description:Mammalian circadian rhythms are based on coupled transcriptional-translational feedback loops driven by the transcription factors CLOCK and BMAL1. Chromatin remodeling mechanisms are essential for the proper timing and extent of circadian gene expression. We report that the S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH) hydrolysing enzyme AHCY binds to CLOCK-BMAL1 at chromatin and drives circadian transcription by promoting cyclic H3K4 trimethylation and recruitment of BMAL1 to chromatin.
