A time to divide: does the circadian clock control cell cycle?
نویسندگان
چکیده
A variety of molecular, genomic and epidemiological evidence has linked cell cycle regulation to circadian rhythms. In a recent issue of Molecular Cell, Koeffler and colleagues show that PER1 sensitizes human cancer cells to ionizing radiation-induced apoptosis. In addition, PER1 expression was found to be downregulated in human tumors, suggesting a tumor suppressor role for the PER1 protein. The significance of PERs, clocks, and cell cycle control is discussed.

Rhythmic profiles of cell cycle and circadian clock gene transcripts in mice: a possible association between two periodic systems.
The circadian system shapes the rhythms of most biological functions. The regulation of the cell cycle by a circadian clock was suggested to operate via stages S, G2 and G2/M. This study investigated a possible time link at stages G1 and G1/S as well. The daily expression profiles of cell cycle markers (Ccnd1, Ccne1 and Pcna) and circadian clock genes (Per2 and Clock) were monitored in liver an...
متن کاملEffect of Circadian Rhythm on Antiulcer Activity of Hydroxyzine in Cold Stress Induced Ulcer in Wistar Albino Rats
Circadian rhythms are driven by endogenous clock gene and affects in several gastric parameters causing ulcerogenesis. The study was aimed to evaluate the time dependent antiulcer activity of hydroxyzine in cold-stress-induced ulcer model. The ulcer protection effect of hydroxyzine was studied at various time intervals (9 am, 1 pm, 5 pm, 91 pm, 1 am and 5 am) in cold stress ulcer model using wi...
متن کاملModeling the Effects of Cell Cycle M-phase Transcriptional Inhibition on Circadian Oscillation
Circadian clocks are endogenous time-keeping systems that temporally organize biological processes. Gating of cell cycle events by a circadian clock is a universal observation that is currently considered a mechanism serving to protect DNA from diurnal exposure to ultraviolet radiation or other mutagens. In this study, we put forward another possibility: that such gating helps to insulate the c...
متن کاملA NONO-gate times the cell cycle.
W hen a cell divides, a series of tightly regulated events are sequentially passed through to end up with two healthy daughter cells. A dysregulation of these steps such as an escape from cell cycle control checkpoints may lead to tumor formation. In recent years, it became increasingly clear that our 24-h internal clock also contributes to proper timing of cell cycle progression and likely act...

Biological clocks are intrinsic time-keeping systems that regulate behavior and physiological functions in most living organisms. Recent works in this area have addressed possible molecular links between the endogenous circadian clock and cell cycle regulation. In this review, by addressing how circadian clocks can interfere with the cell cycle and how the disruption of the circadian rhythm may...
