Identification of glucocorticoid-dependent circadian genes in the cochlea

ABSTRACT: The cochlea possesses a robust circadian clock machinery that regulates auditory function. How the cochlear clock is influenced by the circadian system remains unknown. Here we show that cochlear rhythms are system-driven and require local Bmal1 as well as central input from the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN). SCN ablations disrupted the circadian expression of the core clock genes in the cochlea. Since the circadian secretion of glucocorticoids (GCs) is controlled by the SCN and that GCs are known to modulate auditory function, we assessed their influence on circadian gene expression. Removal of circulating GCs by adrenalectomy (ADX) did not have a major impact on core clock gene expression in the cochlea. Rather it abolished the transcription of clock-controlled genes involved in inflammation. ADX abolished the known differential auditory sensitivity to day and night noise trauma and prevented the induction of GABA-ergic and glutamate receptors mRNA transcripts. However, these improvements were unrelated to changes at the synaptic level suggesting other cochlear functions may be involved. Due to this circadian regulation of noise sensitivity by GCs, we evaluated the actions of the synthetic glucocorticoid dexamethasone (DEX) at different times of the day. DEX was effective in protecting from acute noise trauma only when administered during daytime, when circulating glucocorticoids are low, indicating that chronopharmacological approaches are important for obtaining optimal treatment strategies for hearing loss. GCs appear as a major regulator of the differential sensitivity to day or night noise trauma, a mechanism likely involving the circadian control of inflammatory responses.

Astrocytes in the mouse suprachiasmatic nuclei respond directly to glucocorticoids feedback

Project description:The circadian timing system anticipates daily recurring changes in the environment to synchronize physiology. In mammals, the master pacemaker is the hypothalamic suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN), which synchronizes “wake” functions by inducing the circadian release of Glucocorticoids (GCs) from the adrenal gland. GCs peak right before the active phase and set the time of peripheral clocks, however, it is still unclear whether the SCN respond to GCs feedback. While GCs influence directly the SCN during the perinatal period, the adult circuit is considered to be resistant to them, suggesting a reduction of GCs-sensitivity along development. To understand this mechanism, we followed the expression of GC receptor (GR) along mouse SCN development with single cell resolution and show that GR is up-regulated in astrocytes as the circuit matures. We provide in vivo and in vitro evidence that the adult SCN stays responsive to circulating GCs through the activation of GR in astrocytes. Astrocytes’ communication is necessary to induce the GC-dependent shift on the SCN clock. Our data provides insight into the development of the SCN and highlight a new role of astrocytes as time-keepers in the adult. This finding might shed light on how the circadian system adapts to jetlag or shift work.

Mouse SCN in LC-MSMS - The suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) acts as the central clock to coordinate circadian oscillations in mammalian behavior, physiology and gene expression. Despite our knowledge of the circadian transcriptome of the SCN, how it impacts genome-wide protein expression is not well understood. Here, we interrogated the murine SCN proteome across the circadian cycle using SILAC-based quantitative mass spectrometry.

Comprehensive and cell-type-based analysis of microRNA profiles and functions in mouse suprachiasmatic nucleus

Project description:Circadian rhythm governs a variety of biological processes in essentially all living organisms and microRNAs have been found to play important roles in the post-transcriptional regulation of circadian clocks. However, the microRNA expression profile in mouse central circadian clock – suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) is lacking. In this study, we systematically profiled microRNAs in mouse SCN and SCN subtype neurons by high sensitive small RNA sequencing and examined their potential circadian functions. We found that a large fraction of known microRNAs are SCN-specific and 20 of them are also oscillated significantly. Predicted targets of these 20 microRNAs were enriched in circadian rhythm pathway as well. Integrated analysis of microRNA and mRNA revealed 3 clock-related functional modules, demonstrating the regulation roles of miR-24, miR-30, miR-7a, miR-7b, miR125a and miR125b in SCN. Furthermore, we observed distinct microRNA profiles in SCN subtype neurons with divergent regulatory functions, which correlated with their differential spatial distribution. In addition, we also identified a proportion of light-response microRNAs in SCN, one of which was miR-7a. Further experiments showed that miR-7a directly target fos and regulated its translation in SCN. All these observations indicate important circadian regulation roles of microRNA in central circadian clock.

Transcription profiling of mouse liver from adrenalectomized (ADX) and sham-operated mice to identofy circadian expressed genes regulated by endogenous glucocorticoids

Project description:Genome-wide expression analysis of two circadian oscillatory mechanisms in the mouse liver; To identify the genes of which the circadian expression is regulated by endogenous glucocorticoids, we performed DNA microarray analysis using hepatic RNA from adrenalectomized (ADX) and sham-operated mice. Mice were housed in a 12:12 h light-dark cycle (LD12:12; lights on at zeitgeber time (ZT) 0) for at least two weeks before the day of the experiment. Liver samples were dissected, quickly frozen, and stored in liquid nitrogen. Total RNA was purified from pools of 3 animal tissues collected at each time-point using ISOGEN (Nippon Gene Co., Ltd., Japan). Hybridization to Affymetrix GeneChip (MG-U74Av2) arrays proceeded as described (Oishi K et al., J Biol Chem, 278, 41519-41527, 2003). The average difference (AD) value for each gene was provided by GeneChip software. To identify putative glucocorticoid-regulated circadian genes, we compared AD values between two time points (ZT2 and ZT14) in sham operated and in ADX mice. We applied three criteria to the selection of putative glucocorticoid-regulated circadian genes: (i) the AD value is marked as âpresentâ by the GeneChip software in at least one of two time points, (ii) the AD value exhibits a 2-fold or greater change in sham-operated mice and (iii) the fold change is below 2-fold in ADX mice. We identified 169 genes that fluctuated between day and night in the livers of sham-operated mice. Among these, 100 lost circadian rhythmicity in ADX mice. On the other hand, the circadian expression of clock or clock-related genes such as mPer2 and DBP remained almost totally intact in the liver of ADX mice. The present study showed that the circadian expression of one type of liver genes in the mouse is governed by core components of the circadian clock such as CLOCK and BMAL1, and the other depends on endogenous glucocorticoids.

Timed Exercise and Clocks: Does a Minimally Functional Suprachiasmatic Clock Support 24h Behavioral Rhythms?

Project description:The brain’s suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) is the master clock driving circadian rhythms in mammals. Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) and its cognate receptor, VPAC2, are expressed in SCN neurons and mice with genetically targeted deletion of VPAC2 (Vipr2 -/-animals) show aberrant resetting to light, abnormal behavioral rhythms, and diminished SCN clock gene expression. Timed daily access to a running-wheel (scheduled voluntary exercise; SVE) promotes Vipr2 -/- SCN clock cell synchrony and 24h behavioral rhythms. We hypothesized that timed exercise alters the SCN transcriptome. Here, in control (Vipr2+/+) and Vipr2-/- mice under freely exercising and SVE conditions, RNAseq and qRT-PCR were used to measured gene expression of laser-dissected SCN. Compared to Vipr2+/+ mice, hundreds of genes were differentially expressed in the SCN from Vipr2-/- mice rhythmic in the freely exercising condition. Unexpectedly, SVE did not promote a Vipr2+/+-like SCN transcriptome in Vipr2-/- mice and many transcripts involved in SCN function including Avp, C1ql3, Gpr176, Prok2, Sst, Per2, and Nr1d1 remained dysregulated in the SVE condition. By contrast, circadian oscillators in the liver and lung were mostly intact in Vipr2-/- mice. This study indicates that marked molecular deficits in the SCN are sustained in behaviorally rhythmic Vipr2-/- mice, raising the possibility that a minimal functional SCN circadian clock can underpin whole animal rhythms.
