“…As a consequence, most aspects of their physiology are orchestrated in a rhythmic way by the circadian clock (from the Latin circa diem, meaning "about a day"), an endogenous and autonomous oscillator with a period of around 24 h (1, 2). Not surprisingly, perturbations of this clock in mammals lead to pathologies including psychiatric, metabolic, and vascular disorders (1,3,4).

Diurnal oscillations of gene expression are a hallmark of rhythmic physiology across most living organisms. Such oscillations are controlled by the interplay between the circadian clock and feeding rhythms. Although rhythmic mRNA accumulation has been extensively studied, comparatively less is known about their transcription and translation. Here, we quantified simultaneously temporal transcription, accumulation, and translation of mouse liver mRNAs under physiological light-dark conditions and ad libitum or night-restricted feeding in WT and brain and muscle Arnt-like 1 (Bmal1)-deficient animals. We found that rhythmic transcription predominantly drives rhythmic mRNA accumulation and translation for a majority of genes. Comparison of wild-type and Bmal1 KO mice shows that circadian clock and feeding rhythms have broad impact on rhythmic gene expression, Bmal1 deletion affecting surprisingly both transcriptional and posttranscriptional levels. Translation efficiency is differentially regulated during the diurnal cycle for genes with 5′-Terminal Oligo Pyrimidine tract (5′-TOP) sequences and for genes involved in mitochondrial activity, many harboring a Translation Initiator of Short 5′-UTR (TISU) motif. The increased translation efficiency of 5′-TOP and TISU genes is mainly driven by feeding rhythms but Bmal1 deletion also affects amplitude and phase of translation, including TISU genes. Together this study emphasizes the complex interconnections between circadian and feeding rhythms at several steps ultimately determining rhythmic gene expression and translation.circadian rhythms | ribosome profiling | mRNA translation | 5′-TOP sequences | TISU motifs L iving organisms on Earth are subjected to light-dark cycles caused by rotation of the Earth around the sun. To anticipate these changes, virtually all organisms have acquired a circadian timing system during evolution that allows a better adaptation to their environment. As a consequence, most aspects of their physiology are orchestrated in a rhythmic way by the circadian clock (from the Latin circa diem, meaning "about a day"), an endogenous and autonomous oscillator with a period of around 24 h (1, 2). Not surprisingly, perturbations of this clock in mammals lead to pathologies including psychiatric, metabolic, and vascular disorders (1,3,4). At the organismal scale, the oscillatory clockwork is organized in a hierarchal manner. Within the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) of the hypothalamus, the "master clock" receives light input via the retina and communicates timing signals to "enslave" oscillators in peripheral organs (1, 2). The molecular oscillator consists of interconnected transcriptional and translational feedback loops, in which multiple layers of control, including temporal posttranscriptional and posttranslational regulation, play important roles (5). These additional layers of regulation are largely coordinated by systemic cues originating from circadian clock and/or feeding-coordinated rhythmic metabolism, allowing the adjustment of the molecular clo...

“…These rhythms are important in regulating the sleep/wake cycle, metabolism, alertness, cognition, and other processes (1). Environmental or genetic disruptions to circadian rhythms are strongly associated with chronic sleep problems, increased rates of cancer, lowered immune function, metabolic disorders, and psychiatric disorders (2,3). The molecular clock is controlled by a transcriptional/translational feedback loop with the circadian locomotor output cycles kaput (CLOCK) and brain and muscle Arnt-like protein 1 (BMAL1; also known as ARNTL) proteins acting as the major transcriptional activators, and the Period (PER1, PER2, PER3) and Cryptochrome (CRY1, CRY2) proteins acting as the major repressors (4).…”

With aging, significant changes in circadian rhythms occur, including a shift in phase toward a “morning” chronotype and a loss of rhythmicity in circulating hormones. However, the effects of aging on molecular rhythms in the human brain have remained elusive. Here, we used a previously described time-of-death analysis to identify transcripts throughout the genome that have a significant circadian rhythm in expression in the human prefrontal cortex [Brodmann’s area 11 (BA11) and BA47]. Expression levels were determined by microarray analysis in 146 individuals. Rhythmicity in expression was found in ∼10% of detected transcripts (P < 0.05). Using a metaanalysis across the two brain areas, we identified a core set of 235 genes (q < 0.05) with significant circadian rhythms of expression. These 235 genes showed 92% concordance in the phase of expression between the two areas. In addition to the canonical core circadian genes, a number of other genes were found to exhibit rhythmic expression in the brain. Notably, we identified more than 1,000 genes (1,186 in BA11; 1,591 in BA47) that exhibited age-dependent rhythmicity or alterations in rhythmicity patterns with aging. Interestingly, a set of transcripts gained rhythmicity in older individuals, which may represent a compensatory mechanism due to a loss of canonical clock function. Thus, we confirm that rhythmic gene expression can be reliably measured in human brain and identified for the first time (to our knowledge) significant changes in molecular rhythms with aging that may contribute to altered cognition, sleep, and mood in later life.

Psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depressive disorder are often accompanied by metabolic dysfunction symptoms, including obesity and diabetes. Since the circadian system controls important brain systems that regulate affective, cognitive, and metabolic functions, and neuropsychiatric and metabolic diseases are often correlated with disturbances of circadian rhythms, we hypothesize that dysregulation of circadian clocks plays a central role in metabolic comorbidity in psychiatric disorders. In this review paper, we highlight the role of circadian clocks in glucocorticoid, dopamine, and orexin/melanin-concentrating hormone systems, and describe how a dysfunction of these clocks may contribute to the simultaneous development of psychiatric and metabolic symptoms.3
