Project description:The circadian clock is a universal intrinsic mechanism that rhythmically regulates most molecular, metabolic, and physiological events rhythmically across the living kingdom. Although master transcription factors composed of circadian oscillators have been identified to maintain conserved transcription-translational feedback loops (TTFL), the correlation between epigenetic and chromatin states and rhythmic transcription remains unclear. In this study, we established large-scale chromatin landscapes in soybean using a diurnal time series of ATAC-seq and ChIP-seq, alongside RNA-seq assays A common oscillating pattern that chromatin accessibility synchronizes with gene expression is characterized across the whole genome of soybean. This study enhances our understanding of the epigenetic regulation of the circadian clock and rhythmic physiology

Project description:The mammalian circadian timing system consists of a master pacemaker in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) that synchronizes self-sustained oscillators in most peripheral cells. Rhythmic gene expression in peripheral tissues can be driven by cyclic systemic cues emanating from the SCN or by local oscillators. To discriminate between these two mechanisms, we engineered a mouse strain with a conditionally active liver clock. Transcriptome profiling revealed that the circadian transcription of most genes depends on functional hepatocyte clocks. However, the expression of 31 genes, including mPer2, oscillates robustly in clock-arrested hepatocytes. Such genes may be implicated in the synchronization of liver oscillators

Project description:In mammalian tissues circadian gene expression can be driven by local oscillators or systemic signals controlled by the master pacemaker in the suprachiasmatic nucleus. Here we show that simulated body temperature cycles, but not peripheral oscillators, can control the rhythmic expression of Cold-Inducible RNA binding Protein (CIRP) in cultured fibroblasts. In turn, loss-of-function experiments indicate that CIRP is required for high amplitude circadian gene expression. The transcriptome-wide identification of CIRP-bound RNAs by a biotin-streptavidin based CLIP-seq procedure revealed several CIRP-bound transcripts encoding circadian oscillator proteins. One of these, CLOCK, accumulated to particularly low levels in CIRP-depleted fibroblasts. Since ectopic expression of CLOCK improved circadian gene expression in these cells, we surmise that CIRP confers robustness to circadian oscillators via the regulation of CLOCK expression.

Project description:To screen for specific circadian outputs that may distinguish the pacemaker in the mammalian suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) from peripheral-type oscillators in which the canonical clockworks are similarly regulated in a circadian manner, the rhythmic behavior of the transcriptome in forskolin-stimulated NIH/3T3 fibroblasts was analyzed and compared to that found in the rat SCN in vivo and SCN2.2 cells in vitro. Similar to the scope of circadian gene expression in SCN2.2 cells and the rat SCN, NIH/3T3 fibroblasts exhibited circadian fluctuations in the expression of the core clock genes, Per2, Bmal1 (Mop3), and Cry1 and 323 functionally diverse transcripts (2.6%), many of which were involved in cell communication. Overlap in rhythmically-expressed transcripts among NIH/3T3 fibroblasts, SCN2.2 cells and the rat SCN was limited to these clock genes and four other genes that mediate fatty acid and lipid metabolism or function as nuclear factors. Compared to NIH/3T3 cells, circadian gene expression in SCN oscillators was more prevalent among cellular pathways mediating glucose metabolism and neurotransmission. Coupled with evidence for the rhythmic regulation of the inducible isoform of nitric oxide synthase, the enzyme responsible for the production of nitric oxide, in SCN2.2 cells and the rat SCN but not in fibroblasts, studies examining the effects of a NOS inhibitor on metabolic rhythms in co-cultures containing SCN2.2 cells and untreated NIH/3T3 cells suggest that this gaseous neurotransmitter may play a key role in SCN pacemaker function. Thus, this comparative analysis of circadian gene expression in SCN and non-SCN cells may have important implications in the selective identification of circadian signals involved in the coupling of SCN oscillators and the regulation of rhythmicity in downstream cells or tissues. Experiment Overall Design: Circadian profiling of the NIH/3T3 fibroblast transcriptome entailed the treatment of NIH/3T3 cells with a 15uM forskolin pulse, subsequent washout of the drug, and collection of total RNA immediately after washout and every 6 hours across two circadian cycles for each of three experiments. Timepoint values reflect the average of three samples from these biological replicates.

Project description:Over the past decade, genome-wide assays have underscored the broad sweep of circadian gene expression. A substantial fraction of the transcriptome undergoes oscillations in many organisms and tissues, which governs the many biochemical, physiological and behavioral functions under circadian control. Based predominantly on the transcription feedback loops important for core circadian timekeeping, it is commonly assumed that this widespread mRNA cycling reflects circadian transcriptional cycling. To address this issue, we directly measured dynamic changes in mouse liver transcription using Nascent-Seq. Many genes are rhythmically transcribed over the 24h day, which include precursors of several non-coding RNAs as well as the expected set of core clock genes. Surprisingly however, nascent RNA rhythms overlap poorly with mRNA abundance rhythms assayed by RNA-seq. This is because most mouse liver genes with rhythmic mRNA expression manifest poor transcriptional rhythms, indicating a prominent role of post-transcriptional regulation in setting mRNA cycling amplitude. To gain further insight into circadian transcriptional regulation, we also characterized the rhythmic transcription of liver genes targeted by the transcription factors CLOCK and BMAL1; they directly target other core clock genes and sit at the top of the molecular circadian clock hierarchy in mammals. CLK:BMAL1 rhythmically bind at the same discrete phase of the circadian cycle to all target genes, which not surprisingly have a much higher percentage of rhythmic transcription than the genome as a whole. However, there is a surprisingly heterogeneous set of cycling transcription phases of direct target genes, which even include core clock genes. This indicates a disconnect between rhythmic DNA binding and the peak of transcription, which is likely due to other transcription factors that collaborate with CLK:BMAL1. In summary, the application of Nascent-Seq to a mammalian tissue provides surprising insights into the rhythmic control of gene expression and should have broad applications beyond the analysis of circadian rhythms.

Project description:Intercellular coupling is crucial to prevent desynchronization of cell-autonomous oscillator networks and thus, the disruption of circadian tissue functions. While, neuronal oscillators within the mammalian central clock, the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), couple intercellularly via the exchange of secreted neurotransmitters, intercellular coupling among peripheral oscillators is highly debated and molecular mechanisms are unknown. In our study, we show that peripheral circadian oscillators couple intercellularly via the exchange of secreted signaling molecules and identify TGF-beta as peripheral coupling factor. TGF-beta signaling induces the cAMP response element dependent, immediate-early expression of the clock gene PER2, thereby phase-adjusting the molecular circadian oscillator. Genetic or pharmacologic disruption of TGF-beta signaling causes desynchronization of cellular oscillators resulting in amplitude reduction and increased sensitivity towards Zeitgeber cues. Our findings reveal a previously unknown mechanism of peripheral coupling and open a new perspective on the importance of peripheral clock synchrony for rhythmic organ functions and circadian health.
