Mice with humanized livers reveal the involvement of hepatocyte circadian clocks in the phase entrainment of rhythmic behavior and physiology

ABSTRACT: The circadian clock represents an evolutionarily acquired gene network that synchronizes physiology to anticipate environmental changes caused by the succession of day and night. While most mammalian cells have a circadian clock, their synchronization depends on a central pacemaker located in the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) of the hypothalamus that integrates light signals. While peripheral organs can be also synchronized by feeding cues and can be uncoupled from the central pacemaker, no impact of peripheral organs on the central clock has been yet observed. Here, we used a mouse chimeric model in which mouse hepatocytes have been replaced by human hepatocytes that have different circadian and signaling properties to characterize such potential feedback. Remarkably, we observed that liver humanization rewired the liver diurnal gene expression and advance the circadian clock by approximately 4 hours. Strikingly, this phase advance was also observed in the muscle and for the entire rhythmic physiology of the animals, with an impact of human hepatocytes on the circadian function of the central clock. Like mice with a deficient central clock, the humanized animals shifted their physiology more rapidly to the light phase under day feeding. This data prompt to reconsider the role of peripheral clocks on the central pacemaker and offers new perspective to understand the impact of diseased organs on the global circadian physiology.

Transcription profiling of mouse liver cells with a conditionally active liver clock to descriminate between rhythmic gene expression driven by cyclic systemic cues and local oscillators

Project description:The mammalian circadian timing system consists of a master pacemaker in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) that synchronizes self-sustained oscillators in most peripheral cells. Rhythmic gene expression in peripheral tissues can be driven by cyclic systemic cues emanating from the SCN or by local oscillators. To discriminate between these two mechanisms, we engineered a mouse strain with a conditionally active liver clock. Transcriptome profiling revealed that the circadian transcription of most genes depends on functional hepatocyte clocks. However, the expression of 31 genes, including mPer2, oscillates robustly in clock-arrested hepatocytes. Such genes may be implicated in the synchronization of liver oscillators

Circadian temporal profiling of MMH-D3 hepatocytes

Project description:The circadian clock generates daily rhythms in mammalian liver processes, such as glucose and lipid homeostasis, xenobiotic metabolism, and regeneration. The mechanisms governing these rhythms are not well understood, particularly the distinct contributions of the cell-autonomous clock and central pacemaker to rhythmic liver physiology. Through microarray expression profiling in MMH-D3 hepatocytes, we identified over 1,000 transcripts that exhibit circadian oscillations, demonstrating that many rhythms can be driven by the cell-autonomous clock and that MMH-D3 is a valid circadian model system. The genes represented by these circadian transcripts displayed both co-phasic and anti-phasic organization within a protein-protein interaction network, suggesting the existence of competition for binding sites or partners by genes of disparate transcriptional phases. Multiple pathways displayed enrichment in MMH-D3 circadian transcripts, including the polyamine synthesis module of the glutathione metabolic pathway. The polyamine synthesis module, which is highly associated with cell proliferation and whose products are required for initiation of liver regeneration, includes enzymes whose transcripts exhibit circadian oscillations, such as ornithine decarboxylase (Odc1) and spermidine synthase (Srm). Metabolic profiling revealed that the enzymatic product of SRM, spermidine, cycles as well. Thus, the cell-autonomous hepatocyte clock can drive a significant amount of transcriptional rhythms and orchestrate physiologically relevant modules such as polyamine synthesis. Samples were collected every 2 hours for a duration of 46 hours from differentiated MMH-D3 hepatocytes synchronized via serum shock. Cells were synchronized by serum shock and incubated for 12 hours, and then samples were collected every 2 hours from 12 hours post-serum shock to 58 hours post-serum shock, for a total of 24 samples.

Light can synchronise peripheral clocks autonomously from each other

Project description:Organisms have adapted to the changing environmental conditions within the 24h cycle of the day by temporally segregating tissue physiology to the optimal time of the day. On the cellular level temporal segregation of physiological processes is established by the circadian clock, a Bmal1 dependent transcriptional oscillator network. The circadian clocks within individual cells of a tissue are synchronised by environmental signals, mainly light, in order to reach temporally segregated physiology on the tissue level. However, how light mediated synchronisation of peripheral tissue clocks is achieved mechanistically and whether circadian clocks in different organs are autonomous or interact with each other to achieve rhythmicity is unknown. Here we report that light can synchronise core circadian clocks in two peripheral tissues, the epidermis and liver hepatocytes, even in the complete absence of functional clocks in any other tissue within the whole organism. On the other hand, tissue extrinsic circadian clock rhythmicity is necessary to retain rhythmicity of the epidermal clock in the absence of light, proving for the first time that the circadian clockwork acts as a memory of time for the synchronisation of peripheral clocks in the absence of external entrainment signals. Furthermore, we find that tissue intrinsic Bmal1 is an important regulator of the epidermal differentiation process whose deregulation leads to a premature aging like phenotype of the epidermis. Thus, our results establish a new model for the segregation of peripheral tissue physiology whereby the synchronisation of peripheral clocks is acquired by the interaction of a light dependent but circadian clock independent pathway with circadian clockwork dependent cues.

Circadian rhythm-dependent programs control inflammatory responses and drug metabolism in primary human hepatocytes II.

Project description:Various aspects of physiology and cell function present self-sustained ~24h variations termed circadian rhythms, enabling anticipation and adaptation to the 24-h cycle produced by the Earth’s rotation. The circadian clock system consists of a central clock located in the suprachiasmatic nucleus in the hypothalamus, and peripheral clocks present in distinct tissues. In particular, peripheral clocks in the liver have fundamental roles in maintaining liver homeostasis. Here, we established and characterized a human hepatocyte in vitro system in which human primary hepatocytes displayed self-sustained oscillations independently of external cues a distinguishing feature of circadian clocks. We then used this experimental system to study the impact of circadian oscillations in human liver pathophysiology. By generating hepatocyte circadian transcriptomes, we demonstrated that the transcriptional state of cultured human hepatocytes is dynamic across 24h. Analyses of gene expression data identified a set of cycling genes, including a subset of well-established ‘core clock genes’ and oscillating genes related to inflammation, drug metabolism, and energy homeostasis. We documented a circadian-dependent induction of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1b, IL-6, TNF-a CXCLl1 and CXCL10 triggered by LPS or IFN-b in human hepatocytes. We also demonstrated circadian fluctuations of a subset of drug metabolism enzymes, which regulate drug pharmacokinetics. Among these enzymes, we identified CYP3A4, as one displaying circadian fluctuations at activity levels and a time-dependent induction with rifampin. Finally, we showed the impact of applying chronopharmacotherapy by designing a treatment protocol to minimize atorvastatin and acetaminophen induced hepatotoxicity. Collectively, our findings document that circadian time can influence the magnitude of the inflammatory response in the liver and the efficacy, toxicity, and/or the therapeutic index of drugs.

Defining the Independence of the Liver Circadian Clock

Project description:Mammals rely on a network of circadian clocks to control daily systemic metabolism and physiology. The central pacemaker in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) is considered hierarchically dominant over peripheral clocks, whose degree of independence, or tissue-level autonomy, has never been ascertained in vivo. Using arrhythmic Bmal1-null mice, we generated animals with reconstituted circadian expression of BMAL1 exclusively in the liver (Liver-RE). High-throughput transcriptomics and metabolomics show that the liver has independent circadian functions specific for metabolic processes such as the NAD+ salvage pathway and glycogen turnover. However, although BMAL1 occupies chromatin at most genomic targets in Liver-RE mice, circadian expression is restricted to ∼10% of normally rhythmic transcripts. Finally, rhythmic clock gene expression is lost in Liver-RE mice under constant darkness. Hence, full circadian function in the liver depends on signals emanating from other clocks, and light contributes to tissue-autonomous clock function.

The Autonomous Hepatocyte Clock Controls Acetaminophen Bioactivation and Chronotoxicity [Liver]

Project description:The diurnal variation in acetaminophen (APAP) hepatotoxicity (“chronotoxicity”) is thought to be due to oscillations in xenobiotic metabolism that are influenced by the circadian phases of feeding or fasting. Because of APAP’s relevance to human poisoning, we set out to determine the relative contributions of the central clock in the SCN and the autonomous clock in the hepatocyte in modulating the chronotoxicity of APAP. Using a conditional null allele of Mop3 (ArntL, Bmal1) we are able to delete the clock from hepatocytes while keeping the central and other peripheral clocks intact (eg, those controlling food intake). Our data from this hepatocyte-null mouse model suggests that, while the central circadian clock modulates some detoxification pathways indirectly by driving activity patterns and feeding rhythms, the autonomous hepatocyte circadian clock controls major aspects of APAP bioactivation independent of feeding rhythms.

RNAs associated with LARK in Drosophila pharate adult brain

Project description:Circadian behaviors are regulated by intrinsic biological clocks consisting of central molecular oscillators and output pathways. Despite significant progress in elucidating the central timekeeping mechanisms, the molecular pathways coupling the circadian pacemaker to overt rhythmic behavior and physiology remain elusive. The Drosophila LARK RNA-binding protein is a candidate for such a coupling factor. Previous research indicates that LARK functions downstream of the clock to mediate behavioral outputs. To better understand the roles of LARK in the Drosophila circadian system, we sought to identify RNA molecules associated with LARK in vivo, using a novel strategy that involves capturing the RNA ligands by immunoprecipitation, visualizing the captured RNAs using whole gene microarrays, and identifying functionally relevant targets through genetic screens. Keywords: Association with RNA-binding protein
