Project description:To investigate the role of the transcriptional repressor Rev-erb alpha in epididymal white adipose tissue, we performed a microarray analysis of gene expression in the epididymal white adipose tissue of wildtype and Rev-erb alpha knock-out mice. Examination of the transcriptome in epididymal white adipose tissue of Rev-erb alpha kockout mice compared to wildtype mice.
Project description:The goal of this study is to identify the cistrome of the transcriptional repressor Rev-erb alpha in epididymal white adipose tissue. Performing Rev-erb alpha ChIP-seq on epididymal white adipose tissue from wildtype mice at 5PM when Rev-erb alpha protein level peaks in wild type (WT) mice, we were able to globally determine the genomic regions undergoing Rev-erb alpha-dependent de-repression. Examination of Rev-erb alpha binding in epididymal white adipose tissue.

Project description:Based upon integrated analysis of transcriptomes and cistromes in Rev-erb alpha knock-out mice, we found that beta-Klotho (KLB) mRNA and protein are markedly induced in white adipose tissue but not in brown adipose tissue or liver of mice lacking Rev-erb alpha. In order to address the mechanism of the tissue-specific regulation of Klb transcription by Rev-erb apha, we performed global run-on followed by high-throughput sequencing (GRO-seq) to measure nascent transcription in different tissues in wildtype mice and Rev-erb alpha knock-out mice.
Project description:We have reported that cold temperature challenge results in a dramatic decrease in levels of the transcriptional repressor, Rev-erb alpha. Performing Rev-erb alpha ChIP-seq on brown adipose from wildtype animals kept at thermoneutrality or cold-challenged (and using Rev-erb alpha KO brown adipose as a control), we were able to globally determine the genomic regions undergoing Rev-erb alpha-dependent de-repression.

Project description:We report the genomic regions enriched for Rev-erb(beta) binding in WT mouse liver, in addition to the false positive regions enriched by ChIP for Rev-erb(alpha) in Rev-erb(alpha) KO liver. In conjunction with previously published data for Rev-erb(alpha) in GSE26345 (GSM647029, GSM647033, and GSM647034), we report the common and subtype specific cistromes for Rev-erb using a quantitative analysis method.
Project description:The circadian clock acts at the genomic level to coordinate internal behavioral and physiologic rhythms via the CLOCK-BMAL transcriptional heterodimer. Although the nuclear receptors REV-ERB? and ? have been proposed to contribute to clock function, their precise roles and importance remain unresolved. To establish their regulatory potential we generated comparative cistromes of both Rev-erb isoforms, which revealed shared recognition at over ~50% of their total sites and extensive overlap with the master clock regulator Bmal. While Rev-erb? has been shown to directly regulate Bmal expression, the cistromic analysis reveals a more profound connection between Bmal and Rev-erb? and ? regulatory circuits than previously suspected. Genes within the intersection of the Bmal and Rev-erb cistromes are highly enriched for both clock and metabolic functions. As predicted by the cistromic analysis, dual depletion of Rev-erb?/? function by creating double-knockout mice (DKOs) profoundly disrupted circadian expression of core clock and lipid homeostatic genes. As a result, DKOs show strikingly altered circadian wheel-running behavior and deregulated lipid metabolism. These data reveal an integral role of Rev-erb?/? in clock function as well as provide a cistromic basis for the integration of circadian rhythm and metabolism. Total RNA was obtained from livers of wild-type and Liver-specific Reverb alpha/beta double knockout mice at ZT 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, and 20.
Project description:The molecular circadian clock is a ubiquitous transcriptional-translational feedback loop that regulates CNS function, glial responses, and neurodegenerative pathology. The druggable nuclear receptors REV-ERB-ɑ (gene: Nr1d1) and REV-ERB-.Beta. (gene: Nr1d2) are components of the core circadian clock. REV-ERB proteins regulate neuroinflammatory responses, synaptic pruning, and protein aggregation, though the cell type-specific effects and relative compensatory effects of REV-ERB-ɑ AND -.Beta. in the brain are unknown. To study the CNS functions of REV-ERBs, we developed mouse lines with global or astrocyte-specific, conditional knockout of both REV-ERB-ɑ and -.Beta.. We demonstrate that inducible post-natal global deletion of REV-ERB-ɑ and -.Beta. in vivo results in robust spontaneous astrocyte activation and increases gene expression of disease-relevant pathways such as protein catabolism, complement, and oxidative stress. Furthermore, in vivo astrocyte-specific deletion of REV-ERB-ɑ/-.Beta. recapitulates the spontaneous astrocyte activation phenotype seen in global REV-ERB-ɑ/-.Beta. KO mice, as well as in mice with deletion of key core clock gene Bmal1, indicating that REV-ERBs regulate astrocyte activation in a cell-autonomous manner downstream of the core circadian clock. REV-ERB-ɑ/-.Beta. repress transcription of Stat3 in the brain, and deletion of REV-ERBs in astrocytes induces increased astrocytic STAT3 expression and downstream STAT3-mediated gene changes, a mechanistic link to the astrocyte reactivity shift. This astrocyte activation phenotype decreases alpha-synuclein pathology in an in vivo model of Parkinson’s Disease-related alpha-synucleinopathy and increases astrocytic protein uptake and degradation in vitro. This study therefore provides insight into astrocyte function and could elucidate novel regulatory mechanisms that are candidates for therapeutic manipulation through modulating REV-ERB activity.
