Project description:In intact animals, time of drug administration may be an important factor influencing drug response. Our general goal seeks to incorporate circadian time into the study of corticosteroid regulated gene expression. Since levels of endogenous steroid exhibit circadian fluctuations, it is our hypothesis that the expression of genes controlled by corticosteroids either directly or indirectly, will also exhibit a circadian pattern in normal animals. Keywords: time series design

Project description:In intact animals, time of drug administration may be an important factor influencing drug response. Our general goal seeks to incorporate circadian time into the study of corticosteroid regulated gene expression. This study is designed to examine fluctuations in gene expression in skeletal muscle within the 24 hour circadian cycle in normal animals. Circadian time is relevant to designing optimal corticosteroid dosing regimens. Since levels of endogenous steroid exhibit circadian fluctuations, it is our hypothesis that the expression of genes controlled by corticosteroids either directly or indirectly will also exhibit a circadian pattern in normal animals. Experiment Overall Design: Our previous studies examined changes in gene expression in response to corticosteroid treatment in adrenalectomized animals, where endogenous glucocorticoids are absent. This study is designed to examine baseline patterns of gene expression in normal animals within a 24 hour cycle. This data will be used in conjunction with future studies involving treatment of animals with corticosteroids at defined times within the circadian cycle. Fifty-four male normal Wistar rats (250-350 g body weight) were housed in a strictly controlled stress free environment with light:dark cycles of 12 hr:12hr. Three animals were sacrificed at each of 18 selected time points within the 24 hour cycle. RNA was prepared from gastrocnemius muscles for gene arrays. Time point designations reflect time after lights on in hours.

Project description:Disrupted circadian activity is associated with many neuropsychiatric disorders. A major coordinator of circadian biological systems is adrenal glucocorticoid secretion which exhibits a pronounced pre-awakening peak that regulates metabolic, immune, and cardiovascular processes, as well as mood and cognitive function. Loss of this circadian rhythm during corticosteroid therapy is often associated with memory impairment. Surprisingly the mechanisms that underlie this deficit are not understood. In this study, in rats, we report that circadian regulation of the hippocampal transcriptome integrates crucial functional networks that link corticosteroid-inducible gene regulation to synaptic plasticity processes via an intra-hippocampal circadian transcriptional clock. Further, these circadian hippocampal functions were significantly impacted by corticosteroid treatment delivered in a five day oral dosing treatment protocol. Rhythmic expression of the hippocampal transcriptome, as well as the circadian regulation of synaptic plasticity were misaligned with the natural light/dark circadian entraining cues, resulting in memory impairment in hippocampal-dependent behavior. These findings provide mechanistic insights into how the transcriptional clock machinery within the hippocampus is influenced by corticosteroid exposure, leading to adverse effects on critical hippocampal functions, as well as identifying a molecular basis for memory deficits in patients treated with long-acting synthetic corticosteroids.

Project description:Summary: The liver is the major site of gluconeogenesis, fat processing and distribution, as well as drug and xenobiotic metabolism. Altered gene expression in the liver is centrally invovled in both the immuosuppressive and the energetic actions of corticosteroids. Hypothesis: That pharmacodynamics can be derived from expression profiling data. Specific Aim: The aim of this project is to identify distinct temporal patters of RNA expression in the liver of rats following a bolus dose of the corticosteroid methylprednisolone. 47 RG_U34A chips were used for 17 time points.

Project description:Various aspects of physiology and cell function present self-sustained ~24h variations termed circadian rhythms, enabling anticipation and adaptation to the 24-h cycle produced by the Earth’s rotation. The circadian clock system consists of a central clock located in the suprachiasmatic nucleus in the hypothalamus, and peripheral clocks present in distinct tissues. In particular, peripheral clocks in the liver have fundamental roles in maintaining liver homeostasis. Here, we established and characterized a human hepatocyte in vitro system in which human primary hepatocytes displayed self-sustained oscillations independently of external cues a distinguishing feature of circadian clocks. We then used this experimental system to study the impact of circadian oscillations in human liver pathophysiology. By generating hepatocyte circadian transcriptomes, we demonstrated that the transcriptional state of cultured human hepatocytes is dynamic across 24h. Analyses of gene expression data identified a set of cycling genes, including a subset of well-established ‘core clock genes’ and oscillating genes related to inflammation, drug metabolism, and energy homeostasis. We documented a circadian-dependent induction of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1b, IL-6, TNF-a CXCLl1 and CXCL10 triggered by LPS or IFN-b in human hepatocytes. We also demonstrated circadian fluctuations of a subset of drug metabolism enzymes, which regulate drug pharmacokinetics. Among these enzymes, we identified CYP3A4, as one displaying circadian fluctuations at activity levels and a time-dependent induction with rifampin. Finally, we showed the impact of applying chronopharmacotherapy by designing a treatment protocol to minimize atorvastatin and acetaminophen induced hepatotoxicity. Collectively, our findings document that circadian time can influence the magnitude of the inflammatory response in the liver and the efficacy, toxicity, and/or the therapeutic index of drugs.

Project description:Although corticosteroids remain a mainstay of therapy for UC, a meta-regression of cohort studies in acute severe ulcerative colitis (UC) showed that 29% of patients fail corticosteroid therapy and require escalation of medical management or colectomy. We aimed to determine whether genes expressed in whole blood early following initiation of intravenous corticosteroid treatment can be associated with response.
