Neural clocks and Neuropeptide F/Y regulate circadian gene expression in a peripheral metabolic tissue

Metabolic homeostasis requires coordination between circadian clocks in different tissues. Also, systemic signals appear to be required for some transcriptional rhythms in the mammalian liver and the Drosophila fat body. Here we show that free-running oscillations of the fat body clock require clock function in the PDF-positive cells of the fly brain. Interestingly, rhythmic expression of the c...

Circadian Clocks: The Tissue Is the Issue

The circadian clock uses a widely expressed pair of clock activators to drive tissue-specific rhythms in target gene expression. A new study sheds light on this tissue specificity by showing that binding of clock activators and tissue-specific transcription factors to closely associated target sites enables cooperative activation of target genes in different tissues.

ROS Stress Resets Circadian Clocks to Coordinate Pro-Survival Signals

Dysfunction of circadian clocks exacerbates various diseases, in part likely due to impaired stress resistance. It is unclear how circadian clock system responds toward critical stresses, to evoke life-protective adaptation. We identified a reactive oxygen species (ROS), H2O2 -responsive circadian pathway in mammals. Near-lethal doses of ROS-induced critical oxidative stress (cOS) at the branch...

Circadian Biology: Clocks within Clocks

A small cluster of approximately 20,000 neurons in the ventral hypothalamus provide the body with key time-keeping signals and drive circadian rhythms. This circadian clock exhibits surprisingly complex substructures, with inputs from the retina, and outputs to other brain structures. Rather little is known of the neurotransmitters involved, or their regulation.

Regulation of Mammalian Physiology by Interconnected Circadian and Feeding Rhythms

Circadian clocks are endogenous timekeeping systems that adapt in an anticipatory fashion the physiology and behavior of most living organisms. In mammals, the master pacemaker resides in the suprachiasmatic nucleus and entrains peripheral clocks using a wide range of signals that differentially schedule physiology and gene expression in a tissue-specific manner. The peripheral clocks, such as ...
