Project description:Influence of diet and neuronal clk (clock) activity on hemolymph proteomics. We have shown that as photoreceptors die (in the fly) they necrose, which results in their intercellular contents leaking into the hemolymph. We hypothesize that this process is regulated by diet and circadian clock control.
Analysis of differential protein expression in the hemolymph from flies reared on a high protein diet. Comparison of flies with and without a functional circadian clock within their photoreceptors.
Species/Strain: Drosophila, Elav-GeneSwitch-GAL4>UAS-Clk-DN1 (+/- RU486), female

Project description:The liver circadian clock is reprogrammed by nutritional challenge through the rewiring of specific transcriptional pathways. As the gut microbiota is tightly connected to host metabolism, whose coordination is governed by the circadian clock, we explored whether gut microbes influence circadian homeostasis and how they distally control the peripheral clock in the liver. Using fecal transplant procedures we reveal that, in response to high fat diet, the gut microbiota drives PPARγ-mediated activation of newly oscillatory transcriptional programs in the liver. Moreover, antibiotics treatment prevents PPARγ-driven transcription in the liver, underscoring the essential role of gut microbes in clock reprogramming and hepatic circadian homeostasis. Thus, a specific molecular signature characterizes the influence of the gut microbiome in the liver, leading to the transcriptional rewiring of hepatic metabolism. We used microarray to quantify the tissue specific expression level of circadian genes in terms of total RNA.

Project description:Purpose: In this study we employed unbiased, genome-wide techniques to investigate how inflammation-induced NF-kB activation by acute (LPS vs. saline) and chronic (high-fat diet vs. regular chow) environmental stimuli leads to circadian disruption. Methods: We performed ChIP-seq with antibodies directed against the p65 subunit of NF-kB, CLOCK, BMAL1, H3K27Ac and RNA Poll II in livers from mice treated with LPS or saline. ChIP-seq analysis was also performed in livers from mice that were fed high-fat diet for 4 weeks or regular chow. In addition, we performed ChIP-seq with BMAL1 in mouse embryonic fibroblast deficient in p65. Results: Induction of NF-kB reconfigures the genome-wide position of core clock transcription factors. Acute (i.e. LPS) and chronic (e.g. high-fat diet) inflammation-induced NF-kB re-localizes components of the forward limb of clock (CLOCK/BMAL1) to sites convergent with NF-kB and acetylated H3K27 and enriched in RNA POL II in liver. In addition, NF-kB activation leads to higher p65 binding specific to E-box elements within the negative limb of the clock with both acute and chronic stimuli. Conclusions: Our findings cast new light on NF-kB as a pivotal genomic control node integrating metabolic inflammation and circadian systems at both the cellular and organismal levels. In particular, NF-kB directly regulates the expression of the negative limb of the clock while at the same time the clock activator TFs CLOCK/BMAL1 co-localize with NF-kB at new sites to regulate transcription following inflammatory stimuli. In addition, our data indicate significant overlap between NF-kB activation following both acute and chronic inflammatory challenges in liver.

Project description:Circadian and metabolic processes are codependent. This experiment was designed to understand how a high fat diet affects circadian gene expression in the liver. Circadian gene expression in the liver is necessary for energy balance. Animals consuming normal chow or high fat diet (60% kcal from fat) for ten weeks were analyzed for circadian gene expression. Livers were harvested from animals every four hours throughout the circadian cycle.

Project description:Maternal obesity has long-term effects on offspring metabolic health. Among the potential mechanisms, prior research has indicated potential disruptions in circadian rhythms and gut microbiota in the offspring. To challenge this hypothesis, we implemented a maternal high fat diet regimen before and during pregnancy, followed by a standard diet after birth. Our findings confirm that maternal obesity impacts offspring birth weight and glucose and lipid metabolisms. However, we found minimal impact on circadian rhythms and microbiota that are predominantly driven by the feeding/fasting cycle. Notably, maternal obesity altered rhythmic liver gene expression, affecting mitochondrial function and inflammatory response without disrupting the hepatic circadian clock. These changes could be explained by a masculinisation of liver gene expression similar to the changes observed in polycystic ovarian syndrome. Intriguingly, such alterations seem to provide the first-generation offspring with a degree of protection against obesity when exposed to a high fat diet.

Project description:Polymethoxylated flavones (PMFs) are a group of natural compounds known to display a wide array of beneficial effects to promote physiological fitness. Recent studies revealed circadian clocks as an important cellular mechanism mediating the preventive efficacy of the major PMF Nobiletin against metabolic disorders. Sudachitin is a PMF enriched in Citrus sudachi, and its functions and mechanism of action are poorly understood. Using circadian reporter cells, we showed that Sudachitin modulated circadian amplitude and period of Bmal1 promoter-driven reporter rhythms, and real-time qPCR analysis showed that Sudachitin altered expression of core clock genes, notably Bmal1, at both transcript and protein levels. Mass-spec analysis revealed systemic exposure in vivo. In mice fed with high-fat diet with or without Sudachitin, we observed increased nighttime activity and daytime sleep, accompanied by significant metabolic improvements in a circadian time-dependent manner, including respiratory quotient, blood lipid and glucose profiles and liver physiology. Focusing on the liver, RNA-sequencing and metabolomic analyses revealed prevalent diurnal remodeling in both gene expression and metabolite accumulation. Taken together, our study elucidates Sudachitin as a new clock-modulating PMF with hepatic remodeling functions to improve systemic metabolic homeostasis, and highlights the circadian clock as a fundamental mechanism to safeguard physiological well-being.

Project description:The role of circadian clocks in regulating metabolic processes has been studied extensively. Yet, the physiological impacts of the circadian system on metabolic states across species and life stages remain to be explored. This study investigates the relationship between circadian rhythms and metabolic regulation in the fat body of Drosophila larva, an organ crucial for maintaining metabolic homeostasis, growth and developmental timing. Larval fat body is analogous to the mammalian liver and adipose tissue but lacks a canonical circadian clock. Around-the-clock RNA-sequencing analysis on the fat bodies of wild-type and period clock gene null mutant larvae revealed circadian rhythms in the transcriptome of wild-type larvae. Surprisingly, period mutant exhibited 12-h rhythms in the expression of numerous genes, particularly those involved in peroxisome function, lipid metabolism, and oxidative stress response. Consistent with these transcriptomic data, peroxisome biogenesis and activity demonstrated 12-h rhythms in period mutant fat bodies. Furthermore, levels of reactive oxygen species displayed inverse-phased rhythms to that of lipid peroxidation, with 24-h rhythms in wild-type and 12-h rhythms in period mutant fat bodies. Moreover, while daily fat storage levels in wild-type larvae remained constant, period mutants exhibited fluctuations with a 12-h period and a net reduction in body fat storage. Collectively, our results identified a clock-independent ultradian rhythms in lipid metabolism, which may contribute to maintaining the metabolic, energetic, and redox homeostasis essential for larval survival and development.

Project description:Peripheral circadian clocks regulate many aspects of physiology. In this study we deleted the core circadian clock component Bmal1 specifically in mouse adipocytes in order to study the role of the adipocyte clock in energy homeostasis and body weight. We used microarrays to indentify changes in gene expression in the adipose tissue of mice lacking a functional adipocyte circadian clock and identified a small number of up- and down- regulated genes. Adipose tissues were isolated from inguinal adipose fat pads at four different times of the diurnal cycle under constant darkness (circadian time, CT) for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Adipocyte-specific Bmal1 KO (Ad-Bmal1-/-) and control mice were used for isolation of tissues at CT0, CT6, CT12, CT18 where CT0 the beginning of the subjective day.

Project description:The circadian clock is comprised of proteins that form negative feedback loops, which regulate the timing of global gene expression in a coordinated 24 hour cycle. As a result, the plant circadian clock is responsible for regulating numerous physiological processes central to growth and survival. To date, most plant circadian clock studies have relied on diurnal transcriptome changes to elucidate molecular connections between the circadian clock and observable phenotypes in wild-type plants. Here, we have combined high-throughput RNA-sequencing and mass spectrometry to comparatively characterize the lhycca1, prr7prr9, gi and toc1 circadian clock mutant rosette transcriptome and proteome at the end-of-day and end-of-night.

Project description:Circadian clocks coordinate time-of-day specific metabolic and physiological processes to maximize performance and fitness. In addition to light, which is considered the strongest time cue to entrain animal circadian clocks, metabolic input has emerged as an important signal for clock modulation and entrainment, especially in peripheral clocks. Circadian clock proteins have been to be substrates of O-GlcNAcylation, a nutrient sensitive post-translational modification (PTM), and the interplay between clock protein O-GlcNAcylation and other PTMs, like phosphorylation, is expected to facilitate the regulation of circadian physiology by metabolic signals. Here, we used mass spectrometry proteomics to identify PTMs on PERIOD, the key biochemical timer of the Drosophila clock, over the circadian cycle.
