Daylight regulation of cardiac gene expression in wild type and Per2 deficient mice.

ABSTRACT: Daylight is fundamental to human health and protects from myocardial ischemia in a PER2 dependent manner. Using a whole genome array from daylight exposed wildtype or Per2-/- mice, we investigated light elicited pathways.Mice were exposed to intense light (10,000 LUX, Lightbox simulating day light, Uplift Technologies DL930 Day-Light 10,000 Lux SAD, full spectrum) for 7 days and compared to mice maintained at room light [200 LUX]. Mice were housed in a 14/10-h light-dark cycle to synchronize (entrain) the circadian clock of mice to the ambient light-dark cycle.

Project description:Disruption of peripheral circadian rhyme pathways dominantly leads to metabolic disorders. Studies on circadian rhythm proteins in the heart indicated a role for Clock or Per2 in cardiac metabolism. In fact, Per2-/- mice have larger infarct sizes with a deficient lactate production during myocardial ischemia. To test the hypothesis that cardiac Per2 represents an important regulator of cardiac metabolism during myocardial ischemia, we performed lactate measurements during reperfusion in Per1-/-, Per2-/- or wildtype mice followed by gene array studies using various ischemia-reperfusion protocols comparing wildtype and Per2-/- mice. Lactate measurements in whole blood confirmed a dominant role of Per2 for lactate production during myocardial ischemia. Surprisingly, high-throughput gene array analysis of eight different conditions on one 24-microarray plate revealed dominantly lipid metabolism as differentially regulated pathway in wildtype mice when compared to Per2-/-. In all treatment groups, the enzyme enoyl-CoA hydratase, which is essential in fatty acid beta-oxidation, was regulated in wildtype animals only. Studies using nuclear magnet resonance imaging (NMRI) confirmed altered fatty acid populations with higher mono-unsaturated fatty acid levels in hearts from Per2-/- mice. Unexpectedly, studies on gene regulation during reperfusion revealed solely pro inflammatory genes as differentially regulated 'Per2-genes'. Subsequent studies on inflammatory markers showed increasing IL6 or TNFa levels during reperfusion in Per2-/- mice. In summary, these studies reveal a novel role of cardiac Per2 for fatty acid metabolism or inflammation during myocardial ischemia and reperfusion. We pursued studies on Per2 dependent gene expression during myocardial ischemia or reperfusion to understand its impact on cardiac metabolism. We designed different ischemia and reperfusion protocols and performed a high-throughput expression profiling of 24 samples at a time using an industry-standard whole mouse gene array (Affymetrix, Mouse Gene 2.1 ST 24-Array). To understand differential gene regulation during different conditions we performed 1) 30 minutes of ischemia without reperfusion, 2) ischemic preconditioning (IP, 4 x 5 minutes ischemia and reperfusion), as known cardioprotective mechanism, and 3) 30 minutes of ischemia followed by 60 minutes of reperfusion. Based on three arrays per condition the total number of arrays was 24, which we analyzed at the same time on a multi plate array to avoid inter-array variations. Quality analysis using Partek Genomics Suite 6.6 revealed high confidence in the quality of the microarray data and all samples met 'Quality Assurance/Quality Control' (QA/QC) criteria.
