Opsin-G11-mediated signaling pathway for photic entrainment of the chicken pineal circadian clock.
Light is a major environmental signal for entrainment of the circadian clock, but little is known about the intracellular phototransduction pathway triggered by light activation of the photoreceptive molecule(s) responsible for the phase shift of the clock in vertebrates. The chicken pineal gland and retina contain the autonomous circadian oscillators together with the photic entrainment pathwa...
متن کاملCocaine Modulates Pathways for Photic and Non-photic Entrainment of the Mammalian Circadian Clock
Cocaine abuse is highly disruptive to circadian physiological and behavioral rhythms. The present study was undertaken to determine if such effects are manifest through actions on critical photic and non-photic regulatory pathways in the master circadian clock of the mouse suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN). Impairment of SCN photic signaling by systemic (i.p.) cocaine injection was evidenced by str...
متن کاملMammalian target of rapamycin signaling modulates photic entrainment of the suprachiasmatic circadian clock.
Inducible gene expression appears to be an essential event that couples light to entrainment of the master mammalian circadian clock located in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of the hypothalamus. Recently, we reported that light triggers phase-dependent activation of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway, a major regulator of protein synthesis, in the SCN, thus raising t...
متن کاملThe p42/44 mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway couples photic input to circadian clock entrainment.
In mammals, the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) of the hypothalamus function as the major biological clock. SCN-dependent rhythms of physiology and behavior are regulated by changes in the environmental light cycle. Currently, the second messenger signaling events that couple photic input to clock entrainment have yet to be well characterized. Recent work has revealed that photic stimulation durin...
متن کاملCircadian clock in cell culture: II. In vitro photic entrainment of melatonin oscillation from dissociated chick pineal cells.
The avian pineal gland contains circadian oscillators that regulate the rhythmic synthesis of melatonin. We have developed a flow-through cell culture system in order to begin to study the cellular and molecular basis of this vertebrate circadian oscillator. Pineal cell cultures express a circadian oscillation of melatonin release for at least 5 cycles in constant darkness with a period close t...
