AI Article Synopsis

  • Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is linked to mutations in the PKD1 and PKD2 genes and leads to kidney failure, with progression rates varying among patients due to additional underlying factors.
  • This study examined how disrupting the circadian clock by deleting the Bmal1 gene in specific mouse models affects the progression of ADPKD, revealing significant changes in gene expression and increased disease severity.
  • Findings indicated that Bmal1 gene deletion led to enhanced cyst growth, altered lipid metabolism, and greater cell proliferation, suggesting that circadian rhythm disruption exacerbates ADPKD progression through its impact on lipid metabolism.

A circadian clock is reconstituted in vitro by incubating three proteins, KaiA, KaiB, and KaiC from the non-nitrogen-fixing cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 in the presence of ATP. Leptolyngbya boryana is a filamentous cyanobacterium that grows diazotrophically under microoxic conditions. Among the aforementioned proteins, KaiC is the main clock oscillator belonging to the RecA ATPase superfamily.

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

Sci Rep

Departments of Animal and Food Sciences, Biological Sciences, Medical and Molecular Sciences, and Microbiology Graduate Program, University of Delaware, Newark, DE, USA.

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.

Electronic address:

Background: Light at night (LAN) has become a global concern. However, little is known about the effects of bedroom LAN exposure on glucose metabolism markers. We aimed to explore the association between intensity and duration of bedroom LAN exposure with glucose metabolism markers, and the role of circadian-dependent meal timing in these associations.

Circadian rhythms are intrinsic, 24 h cycles that regulate key physiological, mental, and behavioral processes, including sleep-wake cycles, hormone secretion, and metabolism. These rhythms are controlled by the brain's suprachiasmatic nucleus, which synchronizes with environmental signals, such as light and temperature, and consequently maintains alignment with the day-night cycle. Molecular feedback loops, driven by core circadian "clock genes", such as Clock, Bmal1, Per, and Cry, are essential for rhythmic gene expression; disruptions in these feedback loops are associated with various health issues.

Morning-time heart attacks are associated with an ablation in the sleep-time dip in blood pressure, the mechanism of which is unknown. The epigenetic changes are the hallmark of sleep and circadian clock disruption and homocystinuria (HHcy). The homocystinuria causes ablation in the dip in blood pressure during sleep.
