Project description:Influence of diet and neuronal clk (clock) activity on hemolymph proteomics. We have shown that as photoreceptors die (in the fly) they necrose, which results in their intercellular contents leaking into the hemolymph. We hypothesize that this process is regulated by diet and circadian clock control.
Analysis of differential protein expression in the hemolymph from flies reared on a high protein diet. Comparison of flies with and without a functional circadian clock within their photoreceptors.
Species/Strain: Drosophila, Elav-GeneSwitch-GAL4>UAS-Clk-DN1 (+/- RU486), female

Project description:The liver circadian clock is reprogrammed by nutritional challenge through the rewiring of specific transcriptional pathways. As the gut microbiota is tightly connected to host metabolism, whose coordination is governed by the circadian clock, we explored whether gut microbes influence circadian homeostasis and how they distally control the peripheral clock in the liver. Using fecal transplant procedures we reveal that, in response to high fat diet, the gut microbiota drives PPARγ-mediated activation of newly oscillatory transcriptional programs in the liver. Moreover, antibiotics treatment prevents PPARγ-driven transcription in the liver, underscoring the essential role of gut microbes in clock reprogramming and hepatic circadian homeostasis. Thus, a specific molecular signature characterizes the influence of the gut microbiome in the liver, leading to the transcriptional rewiring of hepatic metabolism. We used microarray to quantify the tissue specific expression level of circadian genes in terms of total RNA.

Project description:Purpose: In this study we employed unbiased, genome-wide techniques to investigate how inflammation-induced NF-kB activation by acute (LPS vs. saline) and chronic (high-fat diet vs. regular chow) environmental stimuli leads to circadian disruption. Methods: We performed ChIP-seq with antibodies directed against the p65 subunit of NF-kB, CLOCK, BMAL1, H3K27Ac and RNA Poll II in livers from mice treated with LPS or saline. ChIP-seq analysis was also performed in livers from mice that were fed high-fat diet for 4 weeks or regular chow. In addition, we performed ChIP-seq with BMAL1 in mouse embryonic fibroblast deficient in p65. Results: Induction of NF-kB reconfigures the genome-wide position of core clock transcription factors. Acute (i.e. LPS) and chronic (e.g. high-fat diet) inflammation-induced NF-kB re-localizes components of the forward limb of clock (CLOCK/BMAL1) to sites convergent with NF-kB and acetylated H3K27 and enriched in RNA POL II in liver. In addition, NF-kB activation leads to higher p65 binding specific to E-box elements within the negative limb of the clock with both acute and chronic stimuli. Conclusions: Our findings cast new light on NF-kB as a pivotal genomic control node integrating metabolic inflammation and circadian systems at both the cellular and organismal levels. In particular, NF-kB directly regulates the expression of the negative limb of the clock while at the same time the clock activator TFs CLOCK/BMAL1 co-localize with NF-kB at new sites to regulate transcription following inflammatory stimuli. In addition, our data indicate significant overlap between NF-kB activation following both acute and chronic inflammatory challenges in liver.

Project description:Circadian and metabolic processes are codependent. This experiment was designed to understand how a high fat diet affects circadian gene expression in the liver. Circadian gene expression in the liver is necessary for energy balance. Animals consuming normal chow or high fat diet (60% kcal from fat) for ten weeks were analyzed for circadian gene expression. Livers were harvested from animals every four hours throughout the circadian cycle.

Project description:Polymethoxylated flavones (PMFs) are a group of natural compounds known to display a wide array of beneficial effects to promote physiological fitness. Recent studies revealed circadian clocks as an important cellular mechanism mediating the preventive efficacy of the major PMF Nobiletin against metabolic disorders. Sudachitin is a PMF enriched in Citrus sudachi, and its functions and mechanism of action are poorly understood. Using circadian reporter cells, we showed that Sudachitin modulated circadian amplitude and period of Bmal1 promoter-driven reporter rhythms, and real-time qPCR analysis showed that Sudachitin altered expression of core clock genes, notably Bmal1, at both transcript and protein levels. Mass-spec analysis revealed systemic exposure in vivo. In mice fed with high-fat diet with or without Sudachitin, we observed increased nighttime activity and daytime sleep, accompanied by significant metabolic improvements in a circadian time-dependent manner, including respiratory quotient, blood lipid and glucose profiles and liver physiology. Focusing on the liver, RNA-sequencing and metabolomic analyses revealed prevalent diurnal remodeling in both gene expression and metabolite accumulation. Taken together, our study elucidates Sudachitin as a new clock-modulating PMF with hepatic remodeling functions to improve systemic metabolic homeostasis, and highlights the circadian clock as a fundamental mechanism to safeguard physiological well-being.

Project description:The circadian clock is comprised of proteins that form negative feedback loops, which regulate the timing of global gene expression in a coordinated 24 hour cycle. As a result, the plant circadian clock is responsible for regulating numerous physiological processes central to growth and survival. To date, most plant circadian clock studies have relied on diurnal transcriptome changes to elucidate molecular connections between the circadian clock and observable phenotypes in wild-type plants. Here, we have combined high-throughput RNA-sequencing and mass spectrometry to comparatively characterize the lhycca1, prr7prr9, gi and toc1 circadian clock mutant rosette transcriptome and proteome at the end-of-day and end-of-night.

Project description:Peripheral circadian clocks regulate many aspects of physiology. In this study we deleted the core circadian clock component Bmal1 specifically in mouse adipocytes in order to study the role of the adipocyte clock in energy homeostasis and body weight. We used microarrays to indentify changes in gene expression in the adipose tissue of mice lacking a functional adipocyte circadian clock and identified a small number of up- and down- regulated genes. Adipose tissues were isolated from inguinal adipose fat pads at four different times of the diurnal cycle under constant darkness (circadian time, CT) for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Adipocyte-specific Bmal1 KO (Ad-Bmal1-/-) and control mice were used for isolation of tissues at CT0, CT6, CT12, CT18 where CT0 the beginning of the subjective day.

Project description:Adipose tissue plays an important role in storing excess nutrients and preventing ectopic lipid accumulation in other organs. Obesity leads to excess lipid storage in adipocytes, resulting in the generation of stress signals and the derangement of metabolic functions. SIRT1 is an important regulatory sensor of nutrient availability in many metabolic tissues. Here we report that SIRT1 functions in adipose tissue to protect from the development of inflammation and obesity under normal feeding conditions, and the progression to metabolic dysfunction under dietary stress. Genetic ablation of SIRT1 from adipose tissue leads to gene expression changes that highly overlap with changes induced by high fat diet in wild type mice, suggesting that dietary stress signals inhibit the activity of SIRT1. Indeed, we show that high fat diet induces the cleavage of SIRT1 in adipose tissue by the inflammation-activated caspase-1, providing a link between dietary stress and predisposition to metabolic dysfunction. Four replicates from four different biological conditions: 1) SIRT1 wild-type fed low fat diet, 2) SIRT1 wild-type fed high fat diet, 3) SIRT1 knock-out fed low fat diet, 4) SIRT1 knock-out fed high fat diet

Project description:Maintenance of circadian alignment between an organism and its environment is essential to ensure metabolic homeostasis. Synchrony is achieved by cell autonomous circadian clocks. Despite a growing appreciation of the integral relation between clocks and metabolism, little is known regarding the direct influence of a peripheral clock on cellular responses to fatty acids. To address this important issue, we utilized a genetic model of disrupted clock function specifically in cardiomyocytes in vivo (termed cardiomyocyte clock mutant (CCM)). CCM mice exhibited altered myocardial response to chronic high fat feeding at the levels of the transcriptome and lipidome as well as metabolic fluxes, providing evidence that the cardiomyocyte clock regulates myocardial triglyceride metabolism. Time-of-day-dependent oscillations in myocardial triglyceride levels, net triglyceride synthesis, and lipolysis were markedly attenuated in CCM hearts. Analysis of key proteins influencing triglyceride turnover suggest that the cardiomyocyte clock inactivates hormone-sensitive lipase during the active/awake phase both at transcriptional and post-translational (via AMP-activated protein kinase) levels. Consistent with increased net triglyceride synthesis during the end of the active/awake phase, high fat feeding at this time resulted in marked cardiac steatosis. These data provide evidence for direct regulation of triglyceride turnover by a peripheral clock and reveal a potential mechanistic explanation for accelerated metabolic pathologies after prevalent circadian misalignment in Western society.

Project description:Ketone bodies, intermediates in energy metabolism and signaling, have attracted significant attention due to their role in health and disease. We performed around the clock study on ketone bodies and ketogenesis with mice on different diets. We found that caloric restriction, a dietary intervention that improves metabolism and longevity, induced high amplitude circadian rhythms in blood βOHB. The blood βOHB rhythms resulted from rhythmic ketogenesis in the liver controlled by the interaction between the circadian clock and PPAR transcriptional networks. This interaction results in transcriptional reprogramming of in beta-oxidation and ketogenesis enzymes. The reprogramming is impaired in circadian clock mutant mice. The circadian clock gated ketogenesis contributes to the diet impact on health and longevity.
