Project description:Biological processes are optimized by circadian and circannual biological timing systems. In vertebrates, the pineal gland plays an essential role in these systems by converting time into a hormonal signal, melatonin; in all vertebrates, circulating melatonin is elevated at night, independent of lifestyle. At night, sympathetic input to the pineal gland, originating from the circadian clock in the suprachiasmatic nucleus, releases norepinephrine. This adrenergic stimulation causes an elevation of cAMP, which is thought to regulate many of the dramatic changes in genes expression known to occur at night. In many aspects, the adrenergic/cAMP effects on gene expression can be recapitulated in primary organ culture. We have analyzed the rat pineal transcriptome at mid-day and mid-night to identify genes that exhibit night/day changes in expression. The pineal transcriptome was compared to that of other rat tissues processed in parallel. In addition, pineal glands were cultured in control conditions, or stimulated with norepinephrine, dibutyryl-cAMP (DBcAMP), or forskolin; the transcriptomes of these glands were then analyzed. Experiment Overall Design: Total RNA was extracted from various rat tissues, and from both in vivo and cultured rat pineal glands, for processing and hybridization to Affymetrix microarrays. Quadruplicates of pooled in vivo pineal glands were analyzed at each timepoint. Single day and night samples of retina, cortex, cerebellum, hypothalamus, liver, and heart were analyzed. Triplicates of control and treated cultured pineal glands were analyzed.

Project description:The transcriptome of the rat pineal gland is highly dynamic, with many hundreds of genes changing more than two-fold on a 24-hr daily rhythm, as revealed earlier using Affymetrix GeneChip analysis. Several key transcription factors and enzymes are known to change dramatically during development of the pineal gland. Studies on a small number of genes indicate that the onset of rhythmic expression generally occurs later in development. This study characterizes this temporally dynamic transcriptome using RNA-Seq to capture information regarding alternative splicing, novel exons, unannotated mRNAs, non-coding RNAs and coding transcripts not represented on the Affymetrix chips.

This study characterizes this temporally dynamic transcriptome using RNA-Seq to capture information regarding alternative splicing, novel exons, unannotated mRNAs, non-coding RNAs and coding transcripts not represented on the Affymetrix chips. The rat pineal transcriptome was sequenced in samples from four ages, from embryonic day 21 through adult. At each age, samples were taken at mid-day and mid-night. Data were collected to describe the changes in the developing pineal transcriptome and to identify transcripts that exhibit day/night differences in expression at each age.

Project description:There is growing appreciation that the feeling of well-being, alterations in mood and susceptibility to a variety of medical disorders depend on the proper expression of the master circadian clock and the synchrony among the other oscillators found in many peripheral tissues. To improve our understanding of the role of peripheral oscillators, an improved understanding of the molecular machinery sub-serving the circadian variation in gene expression is essential. Our long-term goal is to understand the molecular mechanisms that initiate circadian gene expression following external stimulation in the mammalian pineal gland. Are all or just some of the "circadian clock" genes induced by NE, cAMP, or cGMP? In this project we compare a series of gene expression patterns using DNA microarray in response to cAMP, cGMP and NE stimulation to understand why NE does not initiate circadian rhythms in the rat pineal gland. As a preliminary experiment we will compare gene expression 0, 1, and 4 h after start of chemical stimulation. A failure of NE to initiate circadian rhythms is due to failure of activation of certain "circadian clock" genes. We found that circadian rhythms are initiated by stimulation of cAMP or cGMP analogue in the rat pineal gland, while norepinephrine (NE) stimulation only moderately induce Period1 mRNA (one of "circadian clock" genes) 24 h after start of stimulation. From these results we hypothesize that external stimulation activates some "circadian clock" genes simultaneously, and that failure of circadian rhythm initiation following NE stimulation is due to insufficient "circadian clock" genes activations. Male rats of wistar strain are kept in 12h-12h light dark cycles at least for one week before start of experiments. Pineal glands are removed from animals and placed in the culture dish. Rat pineal glands are cultured for 3 days before chemical stimulation. On the day of experiment, the pineal cultures are stimulated using one of NE, cAMP and cGMP analogues for 1 or 4 h before harvest. The samples are immediately frozen and total RNA are extracted from each group which are from a pool of 8 pineal glands using Trizol reagent (Invitrogen). Concentrations of total RNA are determined using spectrophotometer, and six microgram of total RNA is aliquoted in each sample tube for further analysis. Since we already have Affymetrix Rat Genome U34A array GeneChips, we would like to send Chips as well as our total RNA samples. Experiment Overall Design: as above

Project description:The cone-rod homeobox gene (Crx) encodes Crx, a transcription factor selectively expressed in two cell types, retinal photoreceptors and the melatonin secreting pinealocytes of the pineal gland. In this report the role of Crx in regulating gene expression in the mammalian pineal gland was extended using Affymetrix GeneChip technology. Deletion of Crx results in broad modulation of the mouse pineal transcriptome, including a >2-fold downregulation of 543 genes and a >2-fold upregulation of 745 genes. In addition to Crx, there was a >10-fold downregulation of 13 other genes. Of special interest was the discovery of a link between Crx and the homeobox gene Hoxc4, which was upregulated ~20-fold in the Crx-/- pineal gland. Analysis of night and day expression of genes indicated that a set of 51 genes exhibited differential expression in control animals. Of these genes, only eight were also differentially expressed in Crx-/- animals. This group included Aanat, which encodes the enzyme that controls the daily rhythm in melatonin synthesis in the vertebrate pineal gland. Accordingly, Crx appears to be essential for the 24-hour rhythmic component of expression of some genes in the pineal gland. In the Crx-/- mouse pineal gland, 41 genes exhibited differential night/day expression that was not seen in control animals, suggesting that Crx may function to modulate rhythmic expression of these genes as well. Together, the results of this investigation indicate that Crx broadly modulates the pineal transcriptome, perhaps in part through suppressive effects on expression of the homeobox gene Hoxc4.
