Investigating the effects of circadian rhythm on the human skin lipidome

ABSTRACT:

The circadian rhythm is a 24 h cycle that harmonises the activity of organs – including the skin – to a daily routine using neurological and hormonal signals. Limited research has been done to understand the effects of the circadian rhythm on the skin lipidome. We used reversed-phase liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (RPLC-MS) in a longitudinal study to investigate temporal changes to the skin lipidome over a 24 h cycle for eight healthy participants. All statistical analyses were performed with a group-mean and individual-mean data approach. Using cosinor analysis p-values, a total of 29 metabolites (0.67% of all detected metabolites) exhibited a statistically significant circadian rhythmicity across participants; however, individually, a range of 3.51–18.53% of metabolites were considered rhythmic. The use of FDR q-values and Lomb–Scargle analysis showed no circadian metabolites. Using PCA and PLS-DA, no significant clustering based on timepoints was observed across participants; however, half of individuals showed significant metabolite clustering at 07:30. Further, sebum-specific squalene and sapienic acid as well as stratum corneum-specific cholesterol sulfate showed no significant differences in concentrations across timepoints. While individuals exhibited temporal differences, as an averaged healthy cohort the impacts by the circadian rhythm or time of sampling were considered negligible.

Project description:Recent evidence suggest that the circadian timing system plays an important role in the control of renal function and maintaining blood pressure. Here, we analyzed circadian rhythms of urinary excretion of sodium and potassium in wild-type mice and mice lacking circadian transcriptional activator clock. Analysis of urines collected at hourly intervals over a 24-hour period revealed dramatic changes in rhythms of sodium and potassium excretion in clock(-/-) mice. In parallel, significant differences in circadian pattern of plasma aldosterone levels, but not in the 24-hour mean aldosterone levels, were observed. Microarray-based profiling of renal transcriptomes demonstrated that clock(-/-) mice exhibit dysregulation in multiple mechanisms involved in maintaining sodium and potassium balance by the kidney. The most significant changes were detected in the expression levels of several key enzymes (Cyp4a14, Cyp4a12a and Cyp4a12b) required for the conversion of arachidonic acid to 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE), a powerful regulator of renal sodium and potassium excretion, renal vascular tone and blood pressure. The 20-HETE levels measured in kidney microsomes of wild-type mice followed a circadian-like temporal pattern. In clock(-/-) mice, the acrophase of this rhythm was shifted by 8 hours and the 24-hour mean levels of 20-HETE were significantly decreased. These results demonstrate that circadian rhythms of urine electrolyte excretion are largely dependent on the circadian clock activity and indicate that circadian oscillations in renal 20-HETE content could be an important mechanism of blood pressure regulation. We examined the temporal profiles of gene expression in mouse whole kidney. Animals were sacrificed for microdissection every 4 hours, i.e. at ZT0, ZT4, ZT8, ZT12, ZT16 and ZT20 (ZT M-bM-^@M-^S Zeitgeber (circadian) time, indicates time of light-on as ZT0 and time of light-off as ZT12). The microarray hybridization was performed in duplicates on pools of RNA composed of equivalent amounts of RNA prepared from teo or three animals at each ZT time-point.

Project description:Sleep has been strongly implicated in learning and especially in the reprocessing of recently acquired memory. Children with intellectual disability (ID) tend to have sleep-wake disturbances, which may contribute to the pathophysiology of the disease. As far as sleep is, in part, a circadian process, we decided to study rhythmic gene expression in hippocampus, a brain structure, which plays a key role in memory in human and rodents. By investigating the transcriptome of mouse adult hippocampus, we report here the identification of 663 circadian rhythm (CR)-regulated genes, which have been clustered in four categories, based on their temporal pattern of expression. In addition to the standard core-clock genes, enrichment analysis of the hippocampal CR-regulated genes revealed the presence of several transcription factors, underlying the existence of an inter-regulation of genes' expression between clusters. Interestingly, these hippocampal circadian rhythm-regulated genes are very enriched in sleep/wakefulness related genes. We show here that glucocorticoid signaling, already shown to be involved in memory regulation, is a circadian regulated pathway in hippocampus. Furthermore, we identified a list of 30 CR-regulated ID genes. Our results demonstrate that hippocampus can be considered as a peripheral oscillator and illustrate the link between circadian rhythm, sleep, intellectual disability and memory consolidation. In order to identify circadian rhythm-regulated genes in mouse hippocampus, we realized a study in dark-dark conditions, thus allowing to overcome the effects induced by light changes. To systematically identify genes with circadian regulated expression, RNA samples from the hippocampus of three mice at four Circadian Time (CT) points were used for expression profiling using Agilent microarray technology. The dark/dark period started at 7 p.m. The Circadian Time (CT) 18 samples were taken after 30 h of continuous dark; the other circadian times followed at 6-h intervals: CT0, CT6 and CT12 after 36, 42 and 48 h of continuous darkness, respectively.

Project description:Renal excretion of water and major electrolytes exhibits a significant circadian rhythm. This functional periodicity is believed to result, at least in part, from circadian changes in secretion/reabsorption capacities of the distal nephron and collecting ducts. Here, we studied the molecular mechanisms underlying circadian rhythms in the distal nephron segments, i.e. distal convoluted tubule (DCT) and connecting tubule (CNT) and, the cortical collecting duct (CCD). Temporal expression analysis performed on microdissected mouse DCT/CNT or CCD revealed a marked circadian rhythmicity in the expression of a large number of genes crucially involved in various homeostatic functions of the kidney. This analysis also revealed that both DCT/CNT and CCD possess an intrinsic circadian timing system characterized by robust oscillations in the expression of circadian core clock genes (clock, bma11, npas2, per, cry, nr1d1) and clock-controlled Par bZip transcriptional factors dbp, hlf and tef. The clock knockout mice or mice devoid of dbp/hlf/tef (triple knockout) exhibit significant changes in renal expression of several key regulators of water or sodium balance (vasopressin V2 receptor, aquaporin-2, aquaporin-4, M-oM-^AM-!ENaC). Functionally, the loss of clock leads to a complex phenotype characterized by partial diabetes insipidus, dysregulation of sodium excretion rhythms and a significant decrease in blood pressure. Collectively, this study uncovers a major role of molecular clock in renal function. Experiment Overall Design: We examined the temporal profiles of gene expression in mouse distal nephron segments and collecting ducts. The RNA was extracted from microdissected distal convoluted tubules and connecting tubules (DCT/CNT samples) or, cortical collecting ducts (CCD samples). Animals were sacrificed for microdissection every 4 hours, i.e. at ZT0, ZT4, ZT8, ZT12, ZT16 and ZT20 (ZT M-bM-^@M-^S Zeitgeber (circadian) time, indicates time of light-on as ZT0 and time of light-off as ZT12). The microarray hybridization was performed in duplicates on two pools of RNA composed of equivalent amounts of RNA prepared from five animals at each ZT time-point.
