Published: August 2023

The evolutionarily conserved circadian system allows organisms to synchronize internal processes with 24-h cycling environmental timing cues, ensuring optimal adaptation. Like other organs, the pancreas function is under circadian control. Recent evidence suggests that aging by itself is associated with altered circadian homeostasis in different tissues which could affect the organ's resiliency to aging-related pathologies. Pancreas pathologies of either endocrine or exocrine components are age-related. Whether pancreas circadian transcriptome output is affected by age is still unknown. To address this, here we profiled the impact of age on the pancreatic transcriptome over a full circadian cycle and elucidated a circadian transcriptome reorganization of pancreas by aging. Our study highlights gain of rhythms in the extrinsic cellular pathways in the aged pancreas and extends a potential role to fibroblast-associated mechanisms.

Article Synopsis
  • The Qingtian paddy field carp has been domesticated for over 1200 years and has adapted to shallow-water conditions in paddy fields.
  • Research involved transcriptome sequencing of the carp's hepatopancreas at different temperatures, revealing 3154 differentially expressed genes linked to various metabolic pathways.
  • The study highlights the role of protein processing in the endoplasmic reticulum and the HIF-1 signaling pathway in helping PF-carp maintain cell stability under high temperature and hypoxic conditions.

Background: Long-term consumption of Western Diet (WD) is a well-established risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD); however, there is a paucity of studies on the long-term effects of WD on the pathophysiology of CVD and sex-specific responses.

Methods: Our study aimed to investigate the sex-specific pathophysiological changes in left ventricular (LV) function using transthoracic echocardiography (ECHO) and LV tissue transcriptomics in WD-fed C57BL/6 J mice for 125 days, starting at the age of 300 through 425 days.

Results: In female mice, consumption of the WD diet showed long-term effects on LV structure and possible development of HFpEF-like phenotype with compensatory cardiac structural changes later in life.

Restorative Effects of Short-Chain Fatty Acids on Corneal Homeostasis Disrupted by Antibiotic-Induced Gut Dysbiosis.

The gut microbiota plays a crucial regulatory role in various physiological processes, yet its impact on corneal homeostasis remains insufficiently understood. Here, we investigate the effects of antibiotic-induced gut dysbiosis (AIGD) and germ-free (GF) conditions on circadian gene expression, barrier integrity, nerve density, and immune cell activity in the corneas of mice. Through RNA sequencing, we found that both AIGD and GF conditions significantly disrupted the overall transcriptomic profile and circadian transcriptomic oscillations in the cornea.

Cross-species regulatory network analysis identifies FOXO1 as a driver of ovarian follicular recruitment.

The transcriptional regulation of gene expression in the latter stages of follicular development in laying hen ovarian follicles is not well understood. Although differentially expressed genes (DEGs) have been identified in pre-recruitment and pre-ovulatory stages, the master regulators driving these DEGs remain unknown. This study addresses this knowledge gap by utilizing Master Regulator Analysis (MRA) combined with the Algorithm for the Reconstruction of Accurate Cellular Networks (ARACNe) for the first time in laying hen research to identify master regulators that are controlling DEGs in pre-recruitment and pre-ovulatory phases.

General control nonderepressible 5 (Gcn5) is a lysine acetyltransferase (KAT) that is evolutionarily conserved across eukaryotes, with two homologs (Kat2a and Kat2b) identified in humans and one (Gcn5) in . Gcn5 contains a P300/CBP-associated factor (PCAF) domain, a Gcn5-N-acetyltransferase (GNAT) domain, and a Bromodomain, allowing it to regulate gene expression through the acetylation of both histone and non-histone proteins. In , Gcn5 is crucial for embryonic development, with maternal Gcn5 supporting early development.
