Project description:Rats were housed in either long day (LD, 16:8 hours, light:dark) or short day (SD, 8:16 hours, light dark) photoperiods for 3, 14 and 28 days and brains removed, frozen on dry ice and then hypothalamic arcuate nucleus tissue blocks cut for RNA extraction. At each time point 4 rats were used in each photoperiod giving 24 rats in total. RNA from each rat was used on separate affymetrix rat 230 2.0 arrays, using 24 in total. Comparison of expression of genes were made between rats from each photoperiod at 3, 14 and 28 day timepoints.

Project description:Across evolutionary time, nearly all animal species have harnessed photoperiod to initiate processes that ultimately influence seasonal behavior and life history traits. In the freshwater cladoceran Daphnia magna, the effect of photoperiod on various life history traits has generally been investigated in conjunction with additional environmental stimuli. In the present study, we sought to untangling responses directly attributable to photoperiod in D. magna and identify the molecular processes underlying resultant behavioral and life history responses using functional analysis of global transcriptomic expression. D. magna were exposed to five different photoperiods immediately post-hatch for 21d where a standard long-day photoperiod of 16 hours light and 8 hours dark (16L:8D) served as the control relative to 4L:20D, 8L:16D, 12L:12L, and 20L:4D photoperiods. Entrainment to short-day photo-periods (4L:20D, 8L:16D, and 12L:12L) resulted in significantly increased light-avoidance behaviors relative to the control photoperiod where young Daphnia (7d old) displayed the most pronounced avoidance responses. Correspondingly, functional transcriptomics identified differential transcriptional expression of genes involved in glutamate signaling, which is critical in arthropod light-avoidance responses, as well as period circadian protein and proteins coding F-box/LRR-repeat domains, all of which contribute to establishing circadian rhythms in arthropods. Short-day photoperiods also induced increased metabolic rates which corresponded with broad-scale changes in transcriptional expression across multiple systems-level energy metabolism pathways. The most striking observation was increased male production across short-day photoperiods (4L:20D, 8L:16D, and 12L:12D). Transcriptional expression consistent with multiple putative mechanisms of male production were observed including expression suggestive of increased glutamate signaling; a response observed to induce male production in D. pulex via photo-period sensitive mechanisms. Overall, the results demonstrate the importance of photoperiod on behavior and life history trajectories in D. magna where we have now established multiple putative mechanistic pathways underlying several critical responses.

Project description:With the exception of latitudes close to the equator, seasonal variation in light hours can change dramatically between summer and winter. Yet, investigations into the interplay between energy metabolism and circadian rhythms typically use a 12 h light:12 h dark photoperiod corresponding to light duration at the equator. Here, we hypothesised that altering seasonal photoperiod affects both rhythmicity of peripheral tissue clocks as well as processes involved in energy storage and utilisation. Male mice were housed at one of three photoperiods representing light hours in summer, winter and the equinox. Mice housed at a winter photoperiod exhibited an increase in the amplitude of rhythmic lipid metabolism and a modest reduction in fat mass and liver triglyceride content. Comparing melatonin proficient and deficient mice, we provide evidence that the effect of seasonal light on energy metabolism is largely driven by differences in the rhythmicity of food intake, but not melatonin. Our results show that seasonal light impacts energy metabolism in mice and suggest that these effects are partly driven by modulating the timing of eating. Our work sets a course to integrate seasonal light duration in future circadian biology studies.

Project description:Photoperiod is a circannual signal measured by biological systems to align growth and reproduction with the seasons. To understand the effect of photoperiod of gene expression in Arabidopsis thaliana in the absence of exogenous sugar under constant light intensity, we performed time course mRNA-seq analysis on 13-day old seedlings across three photoperiods with triplicates to identify photoperiod-regulated genes.

Project description:Seasonal daylength, or circadian photoperiod, is a pervasive environmental signal that profoundly influences physiology and behavior. In mammals, the central circadian clock resides in the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) of the hypothalamus where it receives retinal input and synchronizes, or entrains, organismal physiology and behavior to the prevailing light cycle. The process of entrainment induces sustained plasticity in the SCN, but the molecular mechanisms underlying SCN plasticity are incompletely understood. Entrainment to different photoperiods persistently alters the timing, waveform, period, and light resetting properties of the SCN clock and its driven rhythms. To elucidate novel molecular mechanisms of photoperiod plasticity, we performed RNAseq on whole SCN dissected from mice raised in Long (LD 16:8) and Short (LD 8:16) photoperiods. Fewer rhythmic genes were detected in Long photoperiod and in general the timing of gene expression rhythms was advanced 4-6 hours. However, a few genes showed significant delays, including Gem. There were significant changes in the expression clock-associated gene Timeless and in SCN genes related to light responses, neuropeptides, GABA, ion channels, and serotonin. Particularly striking were differences in the expression of the neuropeptide signaling genes Prokr2 and Cck, as well as convergent regulation of the expression of three SCN light response genes, Dusp4, Rasd1, and Gem. Transcriptional modulation of Dusp4 and Rasd1, and phase regulation of Gem, are compelling candidate molecular mechanisms for plasticity in the SCN light response through their modulation of the critical NMDAR-MAPK/ERK-CREB/CRE light signaling pathway in SCN neurons. Modulation of Prokr2 and Cck may critically support SCN neural network reconfiguration during photoperiodic entrainment. Our findings identify the SCN light response and neuropeptide signaling gene sets as rich substrates for elucidating novel mechanisms of photoperiod plasticity. Data is also available on our corresponding website, where users can search and view the expression and rhythmic properties of genes across these photoperiod conditions.

Project description:Short day (8hrs of light/day) housed juvenile, male F344 rats were injected with 10^-5 M all-trans RA or vehicle (saline) into the third ventricle of the hypothalamus. 24 hours after RA injections rats were killed by decapitation after isoflurane inhalation at ZT3 and brains were dissected and frozen on dry ice. Hypothalamic arcuate nucleus tissue blocks were cut for RNA exaction. 4 rats per group were used giving 8 rats in total.
