Aging induces de novo rhythmic expression of oxidative stress-responsive genes

ABSTRACT: Disruption of the circadian clock, which directs rhythmic expression of numerous genes, accelerates aging. To inquire how the circadian system protects organisms during aging, we compared circadian transcriptomes in heads of young and old Drosophila melanogaster. These data revealed a class of genes that adopt de novo rhythmicity during aging, termed "late life cyclers" (LLCs). We show that application of exogenous oxidative stress in young flies mimics aging by inducing robust, rhythmic LLC upregulation in a light- and CLOCK-dependent fashion. Additionally, we identified age-onset rhythmicity in some primary piRNA transcripts that overlap antisense transposable elements. To share our data, we developed a database for public viewing of graphical RNA-seq results for coding and non-coding RNAs in young and old flies. Taken together, our results suggest that aging organisms recruit the circadian system to launch a temporally coordinated defense to cope with their increasingly stressful cellular environments.

Identification of gene expression changes in sleep mutants associated with reduced longevity in Drosophila

Project description:Genome-wide profiling of rhythmic gene expression has offered new avenues for studying the contribution of circadian clock to diverse biological processes. Sleep has been considered one of the most important physiological processes that are regulated by the circadian clock, however, the effects of chronic sleep loss on rhythmic gene expression remain poorly understood. In the present study, we exploited Drosophila sleep mutants insomniac1 (inc1) and wide awakeD2 (wakeD2) as models for chronic sleep loss. We profiled the transcriptomes of heads collected from 4-week-old wild type flies, inc1 and wakeD2 at timepoints around the clock. Analysis of gene oscillation revealed a substantial loss of rhythmicity in inc1 and wakeD2 compared to wild type flies, with most of the affected genes common to both mutants. The disruption of gene oscillation was not due to changes in average gene expression levels. We also identified a subset of genes whose loss of rhythmicity was shared among animals with chronic sleep loss and old flies, suggesting a contribution of aging to chronic, sleep-loss-induced disruption of gene oscillation.

Achilles-mediated and sex-specific regulation of circadian mRNA rhythms in Drosophila

Project description:The circadian clock is an evolutionarily conserved mechanism that drives rhythmic expression of downstream genes. The core circadian clock drives the expression of clock-controlled genes either directly or indirectly, which in turn play critical roles in carrying out many rhythmic physiological processes. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanisms by which clock output genes orchestrate rhythmic signals from the brain to peripheral tissues are largely unknown. Here we explored the role of one rhythmic gene, Achilles, in regulating the rhythmic transcriptome in fly heads. Achilles is a clock-controlled gene in Drosophila that encodes a putative RNA-binding protein. Achilles expression is not detectable in core clock neurons using in-situ hybridization, although its expression is found in neurons throughout the fly brain. Together, these observations argue against a role for Achilles in regulating the core clock. To assess its impact on circadian mRNA rhythms, we performed RNA sequencing (RNAseq) to compare the rhythmic transcriptomes of control flies and those with diminished Achilles expression in all neurons. Consistent with previous observations, we observe dramatic upregulation of immune response genes upon knock-down of Achilles. Furthermore, a subset of circadian mRNAs lose their rhythmicity in Achilles knock-down flies, suggesting that a subset of the rhythmic transcriptome is regulated either directly or indirectly by Achilles. These Achilles-mediated rhythms include many genes involved in immune function and neuronal signaling such as Prosap, Nemy and Jhl-21. Comparison of RNAseq data from control flies reveal that only 42.7% of clock-controlled genes in the fly brain are rhythmic in both males and females. As mRNA rhythms of core clock genes are largely invariant between the sexes, this observation suggests that sex-specific mechanisms are an important, and heretofore under-appreciated, regulator of the rhythmic transcriptome.

Temporal profiles of gene expression in Cry1/2 KO, Bmal1 KO under night restricted feeding and ad libitum feeding regimen

Project description:The circadian clock and rhythmic food intake are both important regulators of rhythmic gene expression in the liver. It remains, however, elusive to which extent the circadian clock network and natural feeding rhythms contribute to rhythmic gene expression. To systematically address this question, we developed an algorithm to investigate differential rhythmicity between a varying number of conditions. Mouse knockout models of different parts of the circadian clock network (Bmal1, Cry1/2, and Hlf/Dbp/Tef) exposed to controlled feeding regimens (ad libitum, night restricted feeding) were generated and analyzed for their temporal hepatic transcriptome. A genetical ablation of core loop elements altered feeding patterns that were restored by night restricted feeding. Mainly genes with a high amplitude were driven by the circadian clock but natural feeding patterns equally contributed to rhythmic gene expression with lower amplitude. We observed that Bmal1 and Cry1/2 KOs differed in rhythmic gene expression and identified differences in mean expression levels as a predictor for rhythmic gene expression. In Hlf/Dbp/Tef KO, mRNA levels of Hlf/Dbp/Tef target genes were decreased, albeit rhythmicity was overall preserved potentially due to the activity of the D-Box binding repressor NFIL3. Genes that lost rhythmicity in Hlf/Dbp/Tef KOs were identified to be no direct targets of PARbZip factors and presumably lost rhythmicity due to indirect effects. Collectively, our findings provide unprecedent insights into the diurnal transcriptome in mouse liver and defines the contribution of subloops of the circadian clock network and natural feeding cycles. The developed algorithm and a webapp to browse the outcomes of the study are publicly available to serve as a resource for the scientific community.

The effects of aging on circadian patterns of gene expression in the human prefrontal cortex

Project description:With aging, significant changes in circadian rhythms occur, including a shift in phase toward a “morning” chronotype and a loss of rhythmicity in circulating hormones. However, the effects of aging on molecular rhythms in the human brain have remained elusive. Here we employed a previously-described time-of-death analyses to identify transcripts throughout the genome that have a significant circadian rhythm in expression in the human prefrontal cortex (Brodmann’s areas (BA) 11 and 47). Expression levels were determined by microarray analysis in 146 individuals. Rhythmicity in expression was found in ~10% of detected transcripts (p<0.05). Using a meta-analysis across the two brain areas, we identified a core set of 235 genes (q<0.05) with significant circadian rhythms of expression. These 235 genes showed 92% concordance in the phase of expression between the two areas. In addition to the canonical core circadian genes, a number of other genes were found to exhibit rhythmic expression in the brain. Notably, we identified more than one thousand genes (1186 in BA11; 1591 in BA47) that exhibited age-dependent rhythmicity or alterations in rhythmicity patterns with aging. Interestingly, a set of transcripts gained rhythmicity in older individuals, which may represent a compensatory mechanism due to a loss of canonical clock function. Thus, we confirm that rhythmic gene expression can be reliably measured in human brain and identified for the first time significant changes in molecular rhythms with aging that may contribute to altered cognition, sleep and mood in later life.

Negative reciprocal regulation between Sirt1 and Per2 modulates the circadian clock and aging (microarray expression)

Project description:Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) is involved in both aging and circadian-clock regulation, yet the link between the two processes in relation to SIRT1 function is not clear. Using Sirt1-deficient mice, we found that Sirt1 and Period 2 (Per2) constitute a reciprocal negative regulation loop that plays important roles in modulating hepatic circadian rhythmicity and aging. Sirt1-deficient mice exhibited profound premature aging and enhanced acetylation of histone H4 on lysine16 (H4K16) in the promoter of Per2, the latter of which leads to its overexpression; in turn, Per2 suppresses Sirt1 transcription through binding to the Sirt1 promoter at the Clock/Bmal1 site. This negative reciprocal relationship between SIRT1 and PER2 was also observed in human hepatocytes. We further demonstrated that the absence of Sirt1 or the ectopic overexpression of Per2 in the liver resulted in a dysregulated pace of the circadian rhythm. The similar circadian rhythm was also observed in aged wild type mice. The interplay between Sirt1 and Per2 modulates aging gene expression and circadian-clock maintenance. To investigate hepatic SIRT1-dependent aging related genes, livers from wild type mice at 3 months (young), 12 months (middle age), and 19 months (old) of age, as well as Sirt1-deficient mice at 3 months of age were snap frozen and subject to RNA isolation and microarray analysis.

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.

The Daily timetable of gene expression rhythms undergoes programmed warping toward the nighttime pattern in aged Arabidopsis

Project description:The daily pattern of temporal gene expression is regulated by the circadian clock system. Under constant environmental conditions, aging is associated with a shortening of the endogenous period of circadian rhythms in Arabidopsis. This study investigated to investigate how aging influences the waveforms of rhythmic patterns of gene expression under light/dark cycles. The waveforms of the daily cycling circadian clock showed significant warping in aged leaves, which shifted their expression pattern. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that the number of daily cycling genes in aged leaves was reduced by more than half. Furthermore, in aged plants, the expression schedule of cycling genes in both young and old leaves warped. Circadian clock mutants, including toc1, which did not exhibit age-dependent warping, had significantly altered warping patterns.

Dissecting the autonomy of the liver circadian clock

Project description:The mammalian circadian clock system is made up of individual cell and tissue clocks that function as a coherent network, however it remains unclear which rhythmic functions of the liver clock are autonomous or rely on clocks in other tissues. Here, using mice which only have a functioning liver clock, we investigate the autonomous vs non-autonomous reatures of the liver clock and diurnal rhythmicity in the liver
