Project description:Circadian desynchrony induced by shiftwork or jetlag is detrimental to metabolic health, but how synchronous or desynchronous signals are transmitted among tissues is unknown. We report that liver molecular clock dysfunction is signaled to the brain through the hepatic vagal afferent nerve (HVAN), leading to altered food intake patterns that are corrected by ablation of the HVAN. Hepatic branch vagotomy also prevents food intake disruptions induced by high-fat diet feeding and reduces body weight gain. Our findings reveal a homeostatic feedback signal that relies on communication between the liver and the brain to control circadian food intake patterns. This identifies the hepatic vagus nerve as a potential therapeutic target for obesity in the setting of chrono-disruption.

Project description:The vagus nerve has long been associated with the regulation of energy balance. However, the identity of the molecules mediating these effects remain largely unknown. Here, we used RNA sequencing to interrogate the molecular repertoire of the mouse vagal afferents. We found that Fgf3 mRNA is upregulated in the jugular-nodose ganglia under acute insulin resistance. Together, we provide evidence for efferent-like roles of the vagal afferents and identify Fgf3 as a novel vagal sensory-derived metabolic hormone that regulates insulin secretion and energy expenditure.

Project description:Energy homeostasis requires precise measurement of the quantity and quality of ingested food. The vagus nerve innervates the gut and can detect diverse interoceptive cues, but the identity of the key sensory neurons and corresponding signals that regulate food intake remains unknown. Here we use an approach for target-specific, single-cell RNA sequencing to generate a map of the vagal cell types that innervate the gastrointestinal tract. We show that unique molecular markers identify vagal neurons with distinct innervation patterns, sensory endings, and function. Surprisingly, we find that food intake is most sensitive to stimulation of mechanoreceptors in the intestine, whereas nutrient-activated mucosal afferents have no effect. Peripheral manipulations combined with central recordings reveal that intestinal mechanoreceptors, but not other cell types, potently and durably inhibit hunger-promoting AgRP neurons in the hypothalamus. These findings identify a key role for intestinal mechanoreceptors in the regulation of feeding.

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.

Project description:The translation of mRNA into protein is tightly regulated by the light environment as well as by the circadian clock. Although changes in translational efficiency have been well documented at the level of mRNA-ribosome loading, the underlying mechanisms are unclear. The reversible phosphorylation of RIBOSOMAL PROTEIN OF THE SMALL SUBUNIT 6 (RPS6) has been known for forty years, but the biochemical significance of this event remains unclear to this day. Here, we confirm using a clock-deficient strain of Arabidopsis thaliana that RPS6 phosphorylation (RPS6-P) is controlled by the diel light-dark cycle with a peak during the day.

Project description:Circadian and metabolic physiology are intricately intertwined, as illustrated by Rev-erb , a transcription factor (TF) that functions both as a core repressive component of the cell autonomous clock and as a regulator of metabolic genes. Here we show that Rev-erb modulates the clock and metabolism by different genomic mechanisms. Clock control requires Rev-erb to bind directly to the genome at its cognate sites, where it competes with activating ROR TFs. By contrast, Rev-erb regulates metabolic genes primarily by recruiting the HDAC3 corepressor to sites to which it is tethered by cell type-specific transcription factors. Thus, direct competition between Rev-erb and ROR TFs provides a universal mechanism for self-sustained control of molecular clock across all tissues, whereas Rev-erb utilizes lineage-determining factors to convey a tissue-specific epigenomic rhythm that regulates metabolism tailored to the specific need of that tissue. Biological replicates were uploaded in separated files and indicated in the file names.
