- Successful embryo development transpires far before fertilization inside the meticulously regulated microenvironment of the ovarian follicle. Increasing data indicates that circadian regulatory systems influence several processes that define oocyte competence, including mitochondrial activity, oxidative balance, meiotic development, and cellular metabolism. Brain and muscle ARNT-like protein 1 (BMAL1), an essential transcription factor in circadian regulation, has garnered significant interest due to its crucial involvement in ovarian physiology and reproductive function. Dysregulated BMAL1 signaling has been linked to compromised folliculogenesis, diminished steroidogenesis, mitochondrial dysfunction, elevated oxidative stress, and irregularities in meiotic spindle organization, all of which may negatively impact oocyte quality and early embryo development. Recent experimental and clinical findings indicate that results of assisted reproduction may be influenced by circadian disruption, sleep problems, obesity, ageing, and metabolic dysfunction. - Source: PubMed

Voros CharalamposZagorianakou NektariaMakrydimas StylianosChatzinikolaou FotiosPapadimas GeorgiosKoulakmanidis Aristotelis MariosThomakos NikolaosAntsaklis PanagiotisDaskalakis GeorgiosMakrydimas George - While circadian disturbances are commonly comorbid with schizophrenia (SCZ), whether deficits in clock genes can induce SCZ-like behaviors in mice remains poorly understood. Brain and muscle Arnt-like protein 1 (Bmal1, also known as Mop3 or Arntl), a core circadian clock gene, is implicated in the regulation of circadian rhythms, and its single nucleotide polymorphism rs1982350 has been linked to the pathogenesis of SCZ. - Source: PubMed
Yao Yi-QinGuo Bo-WeiXu Zhi-YiWang CunHong HaoChen Zhi-GangTang Su-Su - The circadian clock controls a vast array of cellular and organismal functions, from the molecular scale to behavior. While each cell is regimented by a cell-autonomous clock, few studies in the brain have dissected the circuit and behavioral contributions of cell-specific clocks. Relatedly, astrocytes are now known to play key roles in regulating synaptic function, circuit activity and behavior, but whether these functions are guided by astrocyte-autonomous clocks is unknown. Here, we report that post-natal deletion of the critical circadian clock gene Bmal1 in astrocytes, which abrogates core clock function in a cell type specific manner, induced expression of genes related to extracellular matrix (ECM) production, maintenance, and remodeling. Circadian variations have been shown in a specific ECM structure, perineuronal nets (PNNs), which are implicated in synaptic function and plasticity. In astrocyte-specific Bmal1 knockouts, hippocampal PNN abundance was decreased, and the circadian rhythm of these structures was also abolished. In line with evidence implicating PNNs, and the ECM in general, in synaptic function and plasticity, we found that astrocyte-specific Bmal1 KO mice had increased synaptic strength but blunted long term potentiation (LTP), as well as impaired learning and memory performance in a novel object recognition task. Taken together, these findings suggest that the astrocyte circadian clock regulates circadian rhythms in perineuronal net abundance as well as synaptic plasticity and behavioral learning and memory. - Source: PubMed
Smith Philip CQuillin Elsa ILefton Katheryn BMcKee Celia ADang BrendanPapouin ThomasMusiek Erik S - Circadian rhythms are endogenous ∼24-h cycles that regulate cardiovascular physiology. Although circadian regulation of the left ventricle (LV) is well established, whether the right ventricle (RV) exhibits intrinsic rhythmicity is not known. Here, we provide the first evidence that the healthy RV exhibits robust rhythms in function and molecular gene expression. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality in type 1 diabetes (T1D). T1D disrupts circadian rhythms, yet how T1D alters chamber-specific circadian control remains unclear. We investigated RV and LV function and gene expression across the 24-h light-dark cycle in male streptozotocin-induced T1D and control mice. Echocardiographic assessment of diabetes-induced remodeling at ZT0-4 and ZT12-16 [zeitgeber time (ZT)] revealed time-dependent functional impairment, including reversal of the normal diurnal heart rate pattern. T1D impaired day-night RV and LV systolic function, with loss of day-night difference in LV ejection fraction and impaired active period RV stroke volume. Cosinor analysis of RV and LV gene expression demonstrated preserved 24-h rhythmicity of core clock genes and in both ventricles with T1D, whereas the clock output genes and had dampened amplitude in the RV but amplified expression in the T1D LV. These findings demonstrate that T1D differentially disrupts circadian regulation of the RV and LV, with selective vulnerability of the clock-controlled output genes despite preservation of the core oscillator. Chamber-specific circadian remodeling may contribute to the elevated cardiovascular risk in T1D and has implications for the timing of diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. This study provides the first evidence that the healthy right ventricle (RV), like the left ventricle (LV), possesses an intrinsic circadian clock with robust 24-h rhythmicity. Using a mouse model of type 1 diabetes, we show that diabetes does not uniformly suppress cardiac clocks but instead differentially rewires RV and LV rhythms, dampening clock-output gene amplitude in the RV while amplifying it in the LV. Together, we reveal chamber-specific circadian vulnerability with implications for diabetic cardiomyopathy and chronotherapy. - Source: PubMed

Bettadapura Sharanya STorres Samantha JSchmitt Marjie PRoberts Brandon LBruns Danielle R - Given the limited knowledge of probiotic effects on clock genes, this study investigated whether probiotics that regulate gut integrity and microbiota balance influence central circadian clock gene expression. In this study conducted on three groups [control group (CG), shifted group (SG), and shifted and probiotic supplement group (SPG)] of eight BALB/c mice each, Clock, Bmal1, and Per2 gene expressions and weight gain were evaluated. Although body weights at baseline, week 8, and week 16 were similar among groups, weight gain over time was significantly higher in the SG and SPG groups (p<0.05). Significant differences were observed between CG and SG at week 8 and between SG and SPG at week 16. Gene expression analyses revealed no significant differences in Clock expression. However, Bmal1 expression at ZT18 was significantly different between the CG and SPG groups (p = 0.045). These findings demonstrate the regulatory effect of probiotic supplementation on circadian disruption and weight gain, suggesting a potential role in circadian rhythm management. Nevertheless, the results should be interpreted cautiously because they are based on limited gene expression changes and require confirmation in larger studies. - Source: PubMed
