Experimental and Computational Insights into the Mechanism that CHRONO Regulates the Circadian Clock

ABSTRACT: The pace of the endogenous circadian clock is important for organisms to maintain homeostasis. CHRONO has been shown to play an important role in regulating the period of the mammalian clock and has recently been implicated to function in several important physiological aspects. To function properly, CHRONO needs to enter the nucleus to repress transcription. However, how CHRONO enters the nucleus and regulates the circadian clock remains unknown. Here, we report the nuclear localization signal of CHRONO and the genome-scale cistrome of CHRONO. We show that CHRONO acts as a transcriptional repressor on Jun/Fos complexes in addition to the classical BMAL1/CLOCK complexes. We further developed a mathematical model and the model simulations strongly agreed with our findings that CHRONO acts on both REV-ERBα and BMAL1 to regulate the circadian period. The model also sheds light on the fact that CHRONO cycles in most of the mammalian tissues. Thus, our experimental and computational approaches reveal the molecular mechanisms of an important circadian component, CHRONO.

The circadian clock time tunes axonal regeneration

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.

Transcriptional Repressor Gm129 Modulates the Circadian Gene Expression by Inhibiting CLOCK:BMAL1 Activity

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.

Parathyroid tissue transcriptome over 24h of PTHcre;Bmal1 flox/flox mice and of Bmal1 flox/flox mice

Project description:The objective is to elucidate the role of the circadian clock in the parathyroid glands. We investigate the parathyroid transcriptome of wildtype mice (Bmal1 flox/flox) and of mice with parathyroid-specific excision of the circadian clock gene Bmal1 (PTHcre;Bmal1 flox/flox) harvested at 4 hour interval for 24 hours. Rhythmic genes were identified by JTK_CYCLE analysis and revealed 1455 rhythmic genes of the Bmal1 flox/flox and 1055 rhythmic genes of the PTHcre;Bmal1 flox/flox. We found global damepning of circadian clock genes with abolished rhythmicity of Cry1, Cry2, Clock, Npas2, Rorc, and Usp2. We used GSEA analysis to investigate differential expression at each timepount and found downregulation of genes involved in ATP synthesis in PTHcre;Bmal1 flox/flox mice at 4 consecutive timepoints during the active period of the mouse.

CLOCKWORK ORANGE promotes CLOCK-CYCLE activation via the Drosophila ortholog of CLOCK INTERACING PROTEIN, CIRCADIAN (RNA-Seq)

Project description:The Drosophila circadian clock is driven by a transcriptional feedback loop in which the bHLH transcription factor CLOCK-CYCLE (CLK-CYC) binds E-boxes to transcribe genes encoding the PERIOD-TIMELESS (PER-TIM) repressor, which releases CLK-CYC from E-boxes to inhibit transcription. The bHLH-Orange transcription factor CLOCKWORK ORANGE (CWO) reinforces repression by binding E-boxes to displace CLK-CYC, but also acts through an unknown mechanism to promote CLK-CYC transcription. To determine how CWO activates CLK-CYC transcription, we identified CWO DNA binding targets that are upregulated in the absence of CWO repression, conserved in mammals and preferentially expressed in brain pacemaker neurons. Among the genes identified was the Drosophila ortholog of mammalian Clock Interacting Protein Circadian (Cipc) that acts to repress CLOCK-BMAL1 transcription. Reducing or eliminating Drosophila Cipc expression shortens circadian period while overexpressing Cipc lengthens circadian period in flies, consistent with previous analysis showing that Drosophila Cipc represses CLK-CYC transcription in S2 cell culture. Long period rhythms of cwo mutant flies are largely rescued when Cipc expression is reduced or eliminated, indicating that increased Cipc expression mediates period lengthening of cwo mutants. These results suggest a mechanism for CWO-dependent CLK-CYC activation: CWO inhibition of CIPC repression promotes CLK-CYC transcription. Such a mechanism may be conserved given that orthologs of cwo and Cipc carry out analogous roles in the mammalian circadian clock.

Next Generation Sequencing Facilitates Quantitative Analysis of Wild Type and delta-RRE Liver Transcriptomes

Project description:In mammals, the circadian clock consists of transcriptional and translational feedback loops through DNA cis-elements such as E-box and RRE. In this study, we established mutant mice deficient for rhythmic transcription of Bmal1 gene by deleting its upstream RRE elements. We observed apparently normal circadian rhythms in the mutant, but the circadian period and amplitude of the mutants were more susceptible to disturbance of CRY1 protein rhythm. Our findings demonstrate that the RRE-mediated feedback regulation of Bmal1 underpins the E-box-mediated rhythm in cooperation with CRY1-dependent posttranslational regulation of BMAL1 protein, thereby conferring the perturbation-resistant oscillation and chronologically organized output of the circadian clock.

Transcriptomic, proteomic and phosphoproteomic underpinnings of daily exercise performance and Zeitgeber activity of endurance training in mouse skeletal muscle

Project description:Timed physical activity might potentiate the health benefits of training. The underlying signaling events triggered by exercise at different times of the day are, however, poorly understood. Here, we found that time-dependent variations in maximal treadmill exercise capacity of naïve mice were associated with energy stores, mostly hepatic glycogen levels. Importantly, running at different times of the day resulted in a vastly different activation of signaling pathways, e.g., related to stress response, vesicular trafficking, repair, and regeneration. Second, voluntary wheel running at the opposite phase of the dark, feeding period surprisingly revealed minimal Zeitgeber (i.e., synchronizing) activity of training. This integrated study provides important insights into the circadian regulation of endurance performance and the control of the circadian clock by exercise. In future studies, these results could contribute to better understand circadian aspects of training design in athletes and the application of chrono-exercise-based interventions in patients.

AP-MS of small molecule that selectively destabilizes Cryptochrome 1

Project description:Cryptochromes are negative transcriptional regulators of the circadian clock in mammals. It is not clear how reducing the level of endogenous CRY1 in mammals will affect circadian rhythm and the relation of such a decrease with apoptosis. Here, we discovered a molecule (M47) that destabilizes Cryptochrome 1 (CRY1) both in vitro and in vivo. The M47 selectively enhanced the degradation rate of CRY1 by increasing its ubiquitination and resulted in increasing the circadian period length of U2OS Bmal1-dLuc cells. In addition, subcellular fractionation studies from mice liver indicated that M47 increased degradation of the CRY1 in the nucleus. Furthermore, M47-mediated CRY1 reduction enhanced cisplatin-induced apoptosis in Ras-transformed p53 null fibroblast cells. Systemic repetitive administration of M47 increased the median lifespan of p53-/- mice by ~25%. Collectively our data suggest that M47 is a very promising molecule to treat forms of cancer depending on the p53 mutation.

Interactome of the circadian clock protein PERIOD2 in human U2OS osteosarcoma cells after the resetting of the circadian clock

Project description:Circadian rhythms are a series of endogenous autonomous 24-hour oscillations generated by the circadian clock. At the molecular level, the circadian clock is generated by a transcription-translation feedback loop, where BMAL1 and CLOCK transcription factors of the positive arm activate the expression of CRYPTOCHROME and PERIOD (PER) genes of the negative arm as well as the circadian clock-regulated genes. In this project, we aimed at finding the interactome of PER2 protein in human U2OS osteosarcoma cell line using proximity-dependent biotin identification (BioID) technique. U2OS clones overexpressing PER2-BioID2 or BioID2 were treated with dexamethasone in order to reset the circadian rhythm, and cells were then incubated in biotin-containing media for 12 hours to label the proteins in close proximity of PER2-BioID2. Samples were collected after 36 and 48 hours of the resetting to identify the labeled proteins by mass spectrometry. In addition to known interactors such as CRY1 and CRY2, many novel interactors were identified. In summary, we obtained a network of PER2 interactome and confirmed some of the novel interactions using classical the co-immunoprecipitation method.
