A Minimal Circadian Clock Network for Glucose Tolerance in Mice

ABSTRACT: Physiology is regulated by interconnected cell and tissue circadian clocks. Disruption of the rhythms generated by this interconnectedness is associated with metabolic disease. Here we tested the interactions between clocks in two critical components of organismal metabolism – liver and skeletal muscle – by rescuing clock function either in each organ separately, or in both organs simultaneously, in otherwise clock-less mice. Experiments revealed that individual clocks are partially sufficient for tissue glucose metabolism, yet the connections between both tissue clocks coupled with daily feeding rhythms maximizes systemic glucose tolerance. This synergy relies in part on local transcriptional control of the glucose machinery, feeding-responsive signals such as insulin, and metabolic cycles that connect the muscle and liver. We posit that spatiotemporal mechanisms of muscle and liver play an essential role in the maintenance of systemic glucose homeostasis, and that disrupting this diurnal coordination can contribute to the metabolic disease.

Integration of Feeding Behaviour by the Liver Circadian Clock Reveals Network Dependency of Metabolic Rhythms [ChIP-seq]

Project description:The mammalian circadian clock, expressed throughout the brain and body, controls daily metabolic homeostasis. Clock function in peripheral tissues is required, but not sufficient, for this task. Due to lack of specialized animal models, it is unclear how tissue clocks interact with extrinsic signals to drive molecular oscillations. Here, we present a model in which the interaction between feeding and the liver clock can be isolated in vivo by reconstituting Bmal1 exclusively in hepatocytes (Liver-RE) in otherwise clock-less mice. We found that the cooperative action of BMAL1 and the transcription factor CEBPB regulates daily liver metabolic transcriptional programs. Functionally, the liver clock and feeding rhythm are sufficient to drive temporal glucose homeostasis. By contrast, liver rhythms tied to redox and lipid metabolism required communication with the skeletal muscle clock, demonstrating peripheral clock cross-talk. Our results highlight how the inner workings of the clock system rely on communicating signals to maintain daily metabolism.

Restricted Feeding Reveals Maternal Entrainment of Weak Circadian Oscillators in Fetal Mouse Livers

Project description:Although circadian clocks oscillate in most cells, it has been difficult to detect canonical expression of clock genes in fetal rodent tissues, including the fetal liver. The oscillation status of fetal clocks and the maternal influence on these clocks have not yet been conclusively defined. Here we report that, when the mother mice are under restricted feeding, the expression rhythms of several clock genes can be detected in fetal mouse livers. Those rhythms, although of low amplitude, reversed their profiles under opposite feeding cycles, suggesting maternal entrainment of the weak fetal liver clocks. However, Bmal1 could show biphasic expression in the fetal livers. The expression of some metabolic genes (e.g. Insig1) also showed biphasic daily changes in fetal livers, possibly as a result of interactions between the unique in utero milieu and the fetal liver clocks. Regular rhythms of clock gene expression were detected in dissociated fetal hepatocytes in culture. Differential expression of metabolic genes were found between fetal and adult livers, suggesting that metabolic features affected clock amplitude. Genome-wide differences in DNA methylation were also found between adult and fetal livers. Some of those epigenetic changes were likely critical for the developmental changes in clock amplitudes.

Rhythmic Food Intake Drives Rhythmic Gene Expression More Potently than the Hepatic Circadian Clock in Mice

Project description:Virtually every mammalian tissue exhibits rhythmic expression in thousands of genes, which activate tissue-specific processes at appropriate times of the day. Much of this rhythmic expression is thought to be driven cell-autonomously by molecular circadian clocks present throughout the body. However, increasing evidence suggests that systemic signals, and more specifically rhythmic food intake (RFI), can regulate rhythmic gene expression independently of the circadian clock. To determine the relative contribution of cell autonomous clocks versus RFI in the regulation of rhythmic gene expression, we developed a system that allows long-term manipulation of the daily rhythm of food intake in the mouse, and analyzed liver gene expression by RNA-Seq in mice fed ad libitum, only at night, or arrhythmically (mouse eating 1/8th of their daily food intake every 3 hours). We show that 70% of the cycling mouse liver transcriptome loses rhythmicity under arrhythmic feeding. Remarkably, this loss of rhythmic gene expression under arrhythmic feeding is independent of the liver circadian clock, which continues to exhibit normal oscillations in core clock gene expression. Many genes that lose rhythmicity participate in the regulation of metabolic processes such as lipogenesis and glycogenesis, likely contributing to an increased sensitivity to insulin that was observed in arrhythmically-fed mice. We also show that night-restricted feeding significantly increases the number of rhythmically expressed genes as well as the amplitude of the rhythms. Together, these results indicate that metabolic transcription factors control a large fraction of the rhythmic mouse liver transcriptome, and demonstrate that systemic signals driven by rhythmic food intake play a more important role than the cell-autonomous circadian clock in driving rhythms in liver gene expression and metabolic functions.

Liver Clock Rescue

Project description:Circadian clocks drive 24-h rhythms of physiology and behavior. The circadian clock of hepatocytes has been shown to regulate glucose metabolism, and we were interested if rescuing liver clock function can reverse metabolic impairments in hyperphagic/obese Clock-D19 mutant mice. We compared transcripomte regulation in livers (at Zeitgeber time ZT10) of wild-type (C57BL/6J) and Clock-D19 mice and Clock-D19 mice with genetic rescue of liver clock function using hydrodynamic tail vein injection of a WT-CLOCK expression plasmid

Bae2017 - Mathematical analysis of circadian disruption and metabolic re-entrainment of hepatic gluconeogenesis

Project description:The circadian rhythms influence the metabolic activity from molecular level to tissue, organ, and host level. Disruption of the circadian rhythms manifests to the host's health as metabolic syndromes, including obesity, diabetes, and elevated plasma glucose, eventually leading to cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, it is imperative to understand the mechanism behind the relationship between circadian rhythms and metabolism. To start answering this question, we propose a semimechanistic mathematical model to study the effect of circadian disruption on hepatic gluconeogenesis in humans. Our model takes the light-dark cycle and feeding-fasting cycle as two environmental inputs that entrain the metabolic activity in the liver. The model was validated by comparison with data from mice and rat experimental studies. Formal sensitivity and uncertainty analyses were conducted to elaborate on the driving forces for hepatic gluconeogenesis. Furthermore, simulating the impact of Clock gene knockout suggests that modification to the local pathways tied most closely to the feeding-fasting rhythms may be the most efficient way to restore the disrupted glucose metabolism in liver.

Feeding differentially regulates clocks and rhythmicity of peripheral tissues through the liver-clock

Project description:The mammalian circadian system consists of a central clock in the brain that synchronizes clocks in peripheral tissues. While the hierarchy between the central and peripheral clocks is well established, peripheral clocks are largely viewed as a group and little is known regarding their specificity and functional organization. We employed feeding paradigms in conjunction with liver-specific clock-deficient murine model to map disparities and potential interactions between peripheral clocks. We found that peripheral clocks largely differ in their response to feeding-time. In view of its prominent role in nutrient processing, we hypothesized that the liver-clock instigate the response of peripheral clocks to feeding. Although the liver-clock did not affect the rhythmicity of clocks in other peripheral tissues, it strongly modulated their transcriptional rhythmicity upon daytime feeding. Overall, our findings suggest a role for the liver-clock in buffering feeding-related signals that affect rhythmicity of other peripheral tissues upon nutrient challenge, irrespective of their clocks.

Rewiring of liver diurnal transcriptome rhythms by triiodothyronine (T3) supplementation

Project description:Diurnal (i.e., 24-hour) physiological rhythms depend on transcriptional programs controlled by a set of circadian clock genes/proteins. Systemic factors like humoral and neuronal signals, oscillations in body temperature, and food intake align physiological circadian rhythms with external time. Thyroid hormones (THs) are major regulators of circadian clock target processes such as energy metabolism, but little is known about how fluctuations in TH levels affect the circadian coordination of tissue physiology. In this study, a high triiodothyronine (T3) state was induced in mice by supplementing T3 in the drinking water, which affected body temperature, and oxygen consumption in a time-of-day dependent manner. 24-hour transcriptome profiling of liver tissue identified 37 robustly and time independently T3 associated transcripts as potential TH state markers in the liver. Such genes participated in xenobiotic transport, lipid and xenobiotic metabolism. We also identified 10 – 15 % of the liver transcriptome as rhythmic in control and T3 groups, but only 4 % of the liver transcriptome (1,033 genes) were rhythmic across both conditions – amongst these several core clock genes. In-depth rhythm analyses showed that most changes in transcript rhythms were related to mesor (50%), followed by amplitude (10%), and phase (10%). Gene set enrichment analysis revealed TH state dependent reorganization of metabolic processes such as lipid and glucose metabolism. At high T3 levels, we observed weakening or loss of rhythmicity for transcripts associated with glucose and fatty acid metabolism, suggesting increased hepatic energy turnover. In sum, we provide evidence that tonic changes in T3 levels restructure the diurnal liver metabolic transcriptome independent of local molecular circadian clocks.

Angptl8 mediates food-driven resetting of hepatic circadian clock in mice

Project description:Mammalian circadian clocks precisely control the rhythms of behavior and physiology, and can be reset by various environmental signals. While the light-dark (LD) cycle resets the master clock, timed food intake is a potent synchronizer of peripheral clocks. As the largest metabolic organ, the liver sensitively responds to the food signals and secrets hepatokines, leading to the robust regulation of metabolic and clock processes. However, it remains unknown which hepatokine mediates the food-driven resetting of the liver clock independent of the master clock. In our current study, we clustered high-throughput RNA sequencing results to screen out candidate genes that mediate the food-driven resetting of the liver clock

Circadian Proteomics Landscape of Mouse Livers Organized by Time-restricted Feeding: Proteomics

Project description:Meal timing is essential in synchronization of circadian rhythms in different organ systems through clock-dependent and -independent mechanisms. The liver is a critical metabolic organ whose circadian clock and transcriptome can be readily reset by meal timing. However, it remains largely unexplored how circadian rhythms in the liver are organized in time-restricted feeding that intervenes meal timing. Here, we applied data-independent acquisition proteomics to characterize circadian features associated with day/sleep- (DRF) and night/wake (NRF)-time restricted feeding in nocturnal female mice. The transcriptomics and metabolomics datasets are public (see www.circametdb.org.cn).
