Expression data from primary mouse embryonic fibroblasts from wild-type and Cry double-knockout embryos

ABSTRACT: By gating cell cycle progression to specific times of the day, the intracellular circadian clock is thought to reduce the exposure of replicating cells to potentially hazardous environmental and endogenous genotoxic compounds. Although core clock gene defects that eradicate circadian rhythmicity can cause an altered in vivo genotoxic stress response and aberrant proliferation rate, it remains to be determined to what extent these cell-cycle-related phenotypes are due to a cell-autonomous lack of circadian oscillations. We investigated the DNA damage sensitivity and proliferative capacity of cultured primary Cry1-/-|Cry2-/- fibroblasts. Contrasting previous in vivo studies, we show that the absence of CRY proteins does not affect the cell-autonomous DNA damage response upon exposure of primary cells in vitro to genotoxic agents, but causes cells to proliferate faster. By comparing primary wild type, Cry1-/-|Cry2-/-, Cry1+/-|Cry2-/- and Cry1-/-|Cry2+/- fibroblasts, we provide evidence that CRY proteins influence cell cycle progression in a cell-autonomous, but circadian clock-independent manner and that the accelerated cell cycle progression of Cry-deficient cells is caused by global dysregulation of Bmal1-dependent gene expression. These results suggest that the inconsistency between in vivo and in vitro observations might be attributed to systemic circadian control rather than a direct cell-autonomous control.

The circadian E3 ligase complex SCFFBXL3+CRY targets TLK2

Project description:We recently demonstrated that the circadian clock component CRY2 is an essential cofactor in the SCFFBXL3-mediated ubiquitination of c-MYC. Because our demonstration that CRY2 recruits phosphorylated substrates to SCFFBXL3 was unexpected, we investigated the scope of this role by searching for additional substrates of FBXL3 that require CRY1 or CRY2 as cofactors. Here, we describe an affinity purification mass spectrometry (APMS) screen through which we identified more than one hundred potential substrates of SCFFBXL3+CRY1/2, including the cell cycle regulated Tousled-like kinase, TLK2. Both CRY1 and CRY2 recruit TLK2 to SCFFBXL3, and TLK2 kinase activity is required for this interaction. Overexpression or genetic deletion of CRY1 and/or CRY2 decreases or enhances TLK2 protein abundance, respectively. These findings reinforce the idea that CRYs function as co-factors for SCFFBXL3, provide a resource of potential substrates, and establish a molecular connection between the circadian and cell cycle oscillators via CRY-modulated turnover of TLK2.

Genome-wide transcriptomic analysis of CRY2-KO and WT mouse articular cartilage

Project description:OBJECTIVES: Abnormal chondrocyte gene expression promotes osteoarthritis (OA) pathogenesis. RNA-sequencing revealed that circadian rhythm pathway and expression of core clock protein cryptochrome 2 (Cry2) are dysregulated in human OA cartilage. Here we determined expression patterns and function Cry1 and Cry2. METHODS: Cry mRNA and protein expression was analyzed in normal and OA human and mouse cartilage. Mice with deletion of Cry1 or Cry2 were analyzed for severity of experimental OA and to determine genes and pathways that are regulated by CRY. RESULTS: In human OA cartilage, CRY2 but not CRY1 staining and mRNA expression was significantly decreased. Cry2 was also suppressed in mice with surgical or aging-related OA. Cry2 KO but not Cry1 KO mice with experimental OA showed significantly increased severity of histopathological changes in cartilage, subchondral bone and synovium. In OA chondrocytes, the levels of Cry1 and Cry2 and the amplitude of circadian fluctuation were significantly lower. RNA-seq on knee articular cartilage of wild-type and Cry2 KO mice identified 53 differentially expressed genes, including known CRY2 target circadian genes Nr1d1, Nr1d2, Dbp and Tef. Pathway analysis indicated that circadian rhythm and extracellular matrix remodeling were dysregulated in Cry2 KO mice. CONCLUSIONS: These results show an active role of the circadian clock in general, and of CRY2 in particular, in maintaining ECM homeostasis in cartilage. This cell autonomous network of circadian rhythm genes is disrupted in OA chondrocytes. Targeting CRY2 has potential to correct abnormal gene expression patterns and reduce the severity of OA.

Differential expression of genes affected by CRY1 or CRY2 in the absence of PER and NR1D proteins

Project description:The transcription-translation feedback loop, the core clock mechanism, is required for circadian rhythm. CRY protein, including CRY1 and CRY2, plays an important repressor role in the regulation of clock genes. However, other proteins, like PER1, PER2, NR1D1 and NR1D2, in the loop mask the transcriptional effects of CRY. This study provides data to find candidate genes specifically affected by CRY1 or CRY2 in mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) cells.

Clock regulation of metabolites reveals coupling between transcription and metabolism

Project description:The circadian clock is intricately connected with metabolism, however the precise details of these connections are incomplete. Here we used high temporal resolution metabolite profiling to determine circadian regulation of mouse liver and cell autonomous metabolism. In mouse liver, we found ~50% of metabolites were circadian, with strong enrichment of the nucleotide, amino acid, and methylation pathways. In U2OS cells, 27% of metabolites were circadian, including amino acids and NAD biosynthesis, also clock controlled in liver. To assess whether cell autonomous metabolite rhythms were clock-dependent, we used RNAi to perturb Bmal1, Cry1, and Cry2. Bmal1 knockdown eliminated most metabolite rhythms, while Cry1 generally shortened and Cry2 lengthened rhythms. Surprisingly, we found Cry1 knockdown induced 8 hr rhythms in amino acid, methylation, and vitamin metabolites, decoupling metabolite and transcriptional rhythms. These results provide the first comprehensive views of circadian liver and cell autonomous metabolism.

Cryptochromes mediate rhythmic repression of the glucocorticoid receptor

Project description:The circadian transcriptional repressors cryptochromes 1 (Cry1) and 2 (Cry2) interact with the C-terminus of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and are required for transrepression in response to the synthetic GR ligand dexamethasone (Dex) in mouse embryonic fibroblasts. Dex induction of many genes was increased in Cry-deficient fibroblasts suggesting that cryptochromes oppose transactivation in addition to contributing to transrepression. In mice, genetic loss of Cry1 and/or Cry2 resulted in glucose intolerance and constitutively high levels of circulating corticosterone, suggesting reduced glucocorticoid suppression of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis coupled with increased sensitivity to the hyperglycemic effects of glucocorticoid-mediated transactivation in the liver. Cry1 and Cry2 association with a GRE in the Pck1 promoter was stimulated by Dex, and Dex-induced transcription of pck1 was strikingly increased in Cry-deficient livers. Finally, cry1-/-;cry2-/- mice subjected to 8 weeks of chronic Dex treatment exhibited incomplete suppression of circulating corticosterone and greater glucose intolerance compared with wildtype littermates subjected to the same chronic treatment, consistent with enhanced transcriptional response to the synthetic glucocorticoid ligand. Total RNA was obtained from WT and Cry1/2 KO MEFs treated with Dexamethasone (1uM) or control EtOH for 16 hours.

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.

A photoregulatory mechanism of the circadian clock in plants [MeRIP-seq]

Project description:Circadian clocks are the time-keeping cellular apparatuses that are photoentrained according to the day-night photocycles on Earth 1,2. Cryptochromes (CRYs) are photoreceptors mediating photoentrainment of the circadian clock in plants and animals but how CRYs mediate light regulation of the molecular clock remains unclear 1,3. Here we show that CRYs mediate photoresponses of the circadian clock by regulating the activity of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA methyltransferase and photoresponses of the epitranscriptome. In contrast to the presently known CRY complexome, the CRY2-methyltransferase complex exbibits multivalent interactions and photoresponsive condensation in response to blue light. We show that photoexcited CRY2 undergoes phosphorylation-assisted demixing to form photobodies with the properties of condensed liquid phase, which facilitates assembly of the CRY2-methyltransferase complex in the condensed liquid phase of CRY2 in vivo. The mta mutant impaired in m6A methyltransferase and the cry1cry2 mutant missing CRY photoreceptors share common defects of lengthened circadian period, reduced m6A RNA methylation, and accelerated degradation of mRNAs encoding core components of the molecular clock. These results argue for a photoentrainment mechanism by which blue light elicits liquid-liquid phase separation of the CRY2-methyltransferase complex to regulate m6A mRNA methylation, consequently suppressing mRNA degradation and period lengthening of the circadian clock
