Conservation of primordial ~12-hour ultradian gene programs in humans

ABSTRACT: Biological rhythms have important implications for human disease, as evidenced by the effects of disrupting the 24h circadian clock. While circadian rhythms are entrained to the once daily light-dark cycle of the sun, coastal marine organisms are known to exhibit 12h ultradian rhythms, corresponding to the twice daily movement of the tides. Human ancestors emerged from a circa-tidal environment millions of years ago. However, whether 12h ultradian rhythms are conserved in humans remains unknown. Here, we performed prospective, high temporal resolution transcriptome profiling in the peripheral white blood cells of three healthy subjects. Remarkably, all three subjects exhibited a shared transcriptional program demonstrating robust ~12h rhythms. Pathway analysis implicated 12h transcriptional oscillations primarily affected core cellular processes, including RNA and protein metabolism, with strong homology to the 12h gene programs previously identified in cnidarian marine species. These results establish the existence of 12h biological rhythms in humans. Such rhythms appear to have a primordial evolutionary origin dating back at least 700 million years and are likely to have far-reaching implications in human health and disease.

Ultradian Molecular Rhythms Emerge in the Absence of a Circadian Clock

Project description:In the chronobiology field, a fundamental dichotomy exists to explain daily rhythmicity of biological processes: these can be elicited in response to cyclic extrinsic/environmental signals such as light, or driven endogenously by the circadian clock. In mammals, the circadian clock ticks in almost every cell of the body, and functions based on a network of transcription-translation feedback loops. The PI3K-AKT signaling pathway relays environmental information of nutritional/metabolic state to regulate cell size and proliferation. AKT, a Serine/Threonine protein kinase, is activated by phosphorylation, where phospho-serine 473 (pAKT) serves as a hallmark for its activation. Following activation, it proceeds to phosphorylate dozens of target proteins that convey the signal to regulate gene expression and other key cellular functions. Overall, this pathway is widely known to be activated in response to feeding related signals, and previous studies in mice found elevated pAKT levels in correspondence with food ingestion. However, it is still unknown whether this can (also) be driven through intrinsic mechanisms, such as the circadian clock. Here, we inspected daily activation of AKT both in cultured cells and animal models. Unexpectedly, we found, that neither environmental cues nor the circadian clock were necessary for pAKT rhythms, which exhibited ultradian, rather than circadian, cycles of phosphorylation. In addition, hepatic gene expression also exhibited short rhythms in clock disrupted mice, corresponding with AKT related genes/functions. Reciprocally, inhibition of AKT phosphorylation did not affect the rhythmicity of the circadian clock. Overall, our findings uncover temporal regulation of AKT activation and reveal ultradian molecular rhythmicity that cycles independently of the canonical circadian clock.

RNA sequencing of suprachiasmatic nuclues, retina, liver and lung collected at day and night from African Four Striped Mice (Rhabdomys pumilio) housed under dim vs bright daytime light

Project description:Circadian clocks are essential for generating and coordinating rhythms in animals’ physiology, behaviour, and metabolism. These activities are regulated by intracellular molecular clocks that operate with a ~24 hour periodicity. The African striped mouse, Rhabdomys pumilio, is notable for undergoing temporal niche switching from ancestrally nocturnal to diurnal, although the molecular components of its’ circadian organization remain unknown. We undertook transcriptome profiling of daily rhythms in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) and in the liver, lung and retina of Rhabdomys stably housed under a stable 12h:12h light:dark cycle with bright (n=10) or dim (n=10) daytime light intensity. Tissues were collected at two time points: two hours after lights on (Zeitgeber Time (ZT2)) coinciding with high behavioural activity, or two hours after lights off (ZT14) during the animal’s resting/sleep period, and RNA-sequencing performed.

Non-canonical circadian oscillations in Drosophila S2 cells

Project description:Circadian rhythms are cell-autonomous biological oscillations with a period of about 24 hours. Current models propose that transcriptional feedback loops are the principal mechanism for the generation of circadian oscillations. In these models, Drosophila S2 cells are generally regarded as ‘non-rhythmic’ cells, as they do not express several canonical circadian components. Using an unbiased multi-omics approach, we made the surprising discovery that Drosophila S2 cells do in fact display widespread daily rhythms. Transcriptomics and proteomics analyses revealed that hundreds of genes and their products are rhythmically expressed in a 24-hour cycle. Metabolomics analyses extended these findings and illustrated that central carbon metabolism and amino acid metabolism are the main pathways regulated in a rhythmic fashion. We thus demonstrate that daily genome-wide oscillations, coupled to metabolic cycles, take place in eukaryotic cells without the contribution of known circadian regulators.

Effect of methionine/choline deficient diet on liver and suprachiasmatic nucleus circadian transcriptome.

Project description:The feeding/fasting cycles controlled by our circadian clock impose great daily metabolic and physiological changes, and yet investigations into the consequences of metabolic deficiencies, either dietary or genetic, have often ignored the time of day or the circadian time of the animals or subjects. In addition, these deficiencies may themselves disrupt our circadian clock, causing secondary metabolic, physiological and behavioural disorders. Dietary methionine/choline deficiency in rodents is a common model for human non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, but methionine and choline are nutrients essential for many other processes beyond fatty acid synthesis in the liver, including biological methylations and 1-carbon metabolism, regulation of translation notably via the mTOR pathway, phospholipid synthesis, polyamine pathway and glutathione synthesis. We have previously shown that circadian rhythms in many organisms are highly sensitive to deficiency or excesses of 1-carbon metabolites. Using a methionine/choline deficient diet in mice, we illustrate the nutrigenomic crosstalk between circadian rhythms and 1-carbon metabolism. We show not only that circadian locomotor activity behaviour is profoundly, rapidly and reversibly affected by methionine/choline deficiency, but also that the effects of methionine/choline deficiency on gene expression and 1-carbon metabolites are dependent on circadian time, illustrating the importance of considering circadian rhythms in metabolic studies. This study also highlights the impact of what we eat, or don't, on our behaviour and biological rhythms.

Circadian regulation of macromolecular complex turnover and proteome renewal

Project description:Although costly to maintain, protein homeostasis is indispensable for normal cellular function and long-term health. In mammalian cells and tissues, daily variation in global protein synthesis has been observed, but its utility and consequences for proteome integrity are not fully understood. Using several different pulse-labelling strategies, here we gain direct insight into the relationship between protein synthesis and abundance proteome- wide. We show that protein degradation varies in-phase with protein synthesis, facilitating rhythms in turnover rather than abundance. This results in daily consolidation of proteome renewal whilst minimising changes in composition. Coupled rhythms in synthesis and turnover are especially salient to the assembly of macromolecular protein complexes, particularly the ribosome, the most abundant species of complex in the cell. Daily turnover and proteasomal degradation rhythms render cells and mice more sensitive to proteotoxic stress at specific times of day, potentially contributing to daily rhythms in the efficacy of proteasomal inhibitors against cancer. Our findings suggest that circadian rhythms function to minimise the bioenergetic cost of protein homeostasis through temporal consolidation of protein turnover.
