Project description:The circadian clock acts at the genomic level to coordinate internal behavioral and physiologic rhythms via the CLOCK-BMAL transcriptional heterodimer. Although the nuclear receptors REV-ERB? and ? have been proposed to contribute to clock function, their precise roles and importance remain unresolved. To establish their regulatory potential we generated comparative cistromes of both Rev-erb isoforms, which revealed shared recognition at over ~50% of their total sites and extensive overlap with the master clock regulator Bmal. While Rev-erb? has been shown to directly regulate Bmal expression, the cistromic analysis reveals a more profound connection between Bmal and Rev-erb? and ? regulatory circuits than previously suspected. Genes within the intersection of the Bmal and Rev-erb cistromes are highly enriched for both clock and metabolic functions. As predicted by the cistromic analysis, dual depletion of Rev-erb?/? function by creating double-knockout mice (DKOs) profoundly disrupted circadian expression of core clock and lipid homeostatic genes. As a result, DKOs show strikingly altered circadian wheel-running behavior and deregulated lipid metabolism. These data reveal an integral role of Rev-erb?/? in clock function as well as provide a cistromic basis for the integration of circadian rhythm and metabolism. Total RNA was obtained from livers of wild-type and Liver-specific Reverb alpha/beta double knockout mice at ZT 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, and 20.

Project description:Rev-erbα/β are druggable components of the molecular circadian clock. Rev-erb agonists can mitigate pressure overload-induced cardiac hypertrophy and myocardial infarction in mice, while Rev-erb antagonist increases myocardial ischemia-reperfusion tolerance ex vivo at the sleep-to-wake transitionHow cardiac Rev-erb regulates heart function has not been studied in vivo. ChIP-seq of Rev-erbα in the heart confirmed the robust diurnal rhythmicity of Rev-erbα genome binding with about 5 times more binding at ZT9 than at ZT21.
Project description:Mammalian transcriptomes display complex circadian rhythms with multiple phases of gene expression that cannot be accounted for by current models of the molecular clock. We have determined the underlying mechanisms by measuring nascent RNA transcription around the clock in mouse liver. Unbiased examination of eRNAs that cluster in specific circadian phases identified functional enhancers driven by distinct transcription factors (TFs). We further identify on a global scale the components of the TF cistromes that function to orchestrate circadian gene expression. Integrated genomic analyses also revealed novel mechanisms by which a single circadian factor controls opposing transcriptional phases. These findings shed new light on the diversity and specificity of TF function in the generation of multiple phases of circadian gene transcription in a mammalian organ. The goal of this experiment was to determine direct targets of Rev-erb{alpha} in mouse liver. All samples were collected at ZT10, when Rev-erb{alpha} protein levels and genomic binding are maximal. All mice were housed and harvested together (n=5 per genotype). All mice were male, 10-12 week old on C57Bl/6 background. RNA was extracted, processed, and hybridized from each mouse liver individually (each sample represents a single mouse).
