Project description:Circadian rhythms regulate cell proliferation and differentiation; however, little is known about their roles in myogenic differentiation. Our synchronized differentiation studies demonstrate that myoblast proliferation and subsequent myotube formation by cell fusion occur in circadian manners. We found that one of the core regulators of circadian rhythms Cry2, but not Cry1, is critical for the circadian patterns of these two critical steps in myogenic differentiation. This is achieved through the specific interaction between Cry2 and Bclaf1, which stabilizes mRNAs encoding cyclin D1, a G1/S phase transition regulator, and Tmem176b, a transmembrane regulator for myogenic cell fusion. Myoblasts lacking Cry2 display premature cell cycle exit and form short myotubes due to inefficient cell fusion. Consistently, muscle regeneration is impaired in Cry2-/- mice. Bclaf1 knockdown recapitulated the phenotypes of Cry2 knockdown: early cell cycle exit and inefficient cell fusion. This study uncovers a post-transcriptional regulation of myogenic differentiation by circadian rhythms.

Project description:Disruption of circadian rhythms increases the risk of several types of cancer. Mammalian cryptochromes (CRY1 and CRY2) are circadian transcriptional repressors that are related to DNA repair enzymes. While CRYs lack DNA repair activity, they modulate the transcriptional response to DNA damage, and CRY2 can promote SCFFBXL3-mediated ubiquitination of c-MYC and other targets. Here, we characterize five mutations in CRY2 observed in human cancers in The Cancer Genome Atlas. We demonstrate that two orthologous mutations of mouse CRY2 (D325H and S510L) accelerate the growth of primary mouse fibroblasts expressing high levels of c-MYC. Neither mutant affects steady state levels of overexpressed c-MYC, and they have divergent impacts on circadian rhythms and on the ability of CRY2 to interact with SCFFBXL3. Unexpectedly, stable expression of either CRY2 D325H or of CRY2 S510L robustly suppresses P53 target gene expression, suggesting that this is the primary mechanism by which they influence cell growth.

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.

Project description:Skeletal muscle has remarkable capacity to regenerate upon injury due to the presence of satellite cells. The maintenance and function of satellite cells are regulated by circadian clock. Cryptocrhome 2 (CRY2) is a key component of the circadian clock and its role in skeletal muscle regeneration remains controversial. Here, we report that CRY2 is down-regulated during muscle regeneration. Using the satellite cell specific CRY2 knockout mice (CRY2scko), we show that deletion of CRY2 enhances muscle regeneration. Single myofiber analysis showed that deletion of CRY2 enhances satellite cell self-renewal. In the absence of CRY2, the ERK1/2 and JNK1/2 signaling pathways become activated, which phosphorylates the transcription factor ETS1, which in turn binds to the promoter of PAX7 to induce its transcription. CRY2 deficient myoblasts survived better in ischemic muscle. Deletion of CRY2 also alleviated myopathy in mdx mice. Therefore, CRY2 plays an essential role in regulating satellite cell function and skeletal muscle regeneration.

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.

Project description:Restricted feeding impacts the hepatic circadian clock of WT mice. Cry1, Cry2 double KO mice lack a circadian clock and are thus expected to show rhythmical gene expression in the liver. Imposing a temporally restricted feeding schedule on these mice shows how the hepatic circadian clock and rhythmic food intake regulate rhythmic transcription in parallel Cry1, Cry2 double KO mice were entrained either to ad libitum or temporally restricted feeding (tRF) schedules. Food was made available to mice under the tRF regimen only between ZT(CT)1 and ZT(CT)9. Mice were then released into constant darkness while the respective feeding schedules were still maintained. Liver tissue was collected on the second day of constant darkness at the indicated timepoints. Total RNA was extracted and 5ug of RNA was used in the standard Affymetrix protocol for amplification, labeling and hybridization

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.

Project description:Background: Disruption of natural diurnal light cycles, such as that experienced by shift workers, is linked to enhanced cancer incidence. Several mouse models of cancer have been shown to develop more severe disease when exposed to irregular light/dark cycles, further supporting the connection between circadian disruption and increased cancer risk. Cryptochrome 2 (CRY2), a repressive component of the molecular circadian clock, facilitates the turnover of the oncoprotein c-MYC, one mechanism that may link the molecular clock to tumorigenesis. In Eμ-MYC mice, which express transgenic c-MYC in B cells and develop aggressive lymphomas and leukemia, global Cry2 deletion reduces overall survival and enhances tumor formation. Lighting conditions that mimic the disruption experienced by shift workers dampen Cry2 transcripts in peripheral tissues of C57BL/6J mice. Although it is much milder than homozygous deletion of Cry2, we hypothesized that reduced Cry2 rhythmicity could alter MYC protein accumulation and contribute to enhanced cancer risk caused by circadian disruption. We decided to test this hypothesis in the context of MYC-driven lymphoma. Methods: We housed Eμ-MYC mice in light-tight boxes set to either the control (continuous cycles of 12-hours of light followed by 12-hours of dark, LD12:12) or chronic jetlag (eight-hour light phase advances every two to three days, CJL) lighting conditions and assessed the impact of disrupted light cycles on overall survival and tumor formation in Eμ-MYC mice. Results: Environmental disruption of circadian rhythms did not alter tumor location, tumor growth, or overall survival in female or male Eμ-MYC mice on the c57BL6 genetic background. Conclusions: The dampened transcriptional rhythms of Cry2 caused by exposure to disruption of circadian light exposures is very different from the complete loss of Cry2 expression caused by genetic deletion. The lack of any phenotype caused by altered circadian gene expression patterns in contrast to the enhanced tumorigenesis caused by homozygous deletion of Cry2 suggests that the dosage of CRY2 may impact this model. Importantly, these findings indicate that the well-documented increase in cancer risk associated with circadian disruption arises from one or more mechanisms that are not recapitulated in this mouse model, and may be different in distinct tumor types.

Project description:Circadian pace is modulated by light intensity, known as the Aschoff’s rule, with largely unrevealed mechanisms. Here we report that photoreceptor CRY2 mediates blue light input to circadian clock by directly interacting with clock core component PRR9 in blue light dependent manner. This physical interaction dually blocks the accessibility of PRR9 protein to its co-repressor TPL/TPRs and the resulting kinase PPKs. Notably, phosphorylation of PRR9 by PPKs is critical for its DNA binding and repressive activity, hence to ensure proper circadian speed. Given the labile nature of CRY2 in strong blue light, our findings provide a mechanistic explanation for Aschoff’s rule in plants, i.e., blue light triggers CRY2 turnover in proportional to its intensity, which accordingly releasing PRR9 to fine tune circadian speed. Our findings not only reveal a novel network mediating light input into circadian clock, but also unmask a mechanism by which Arabidopsis circadian clock sensing light intensity.
