[PMID: 34778067 PMCID: PMC8581354 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2021.752036] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2021] [Accepted: 10/13/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose Tumor promote disease progression by reprogramming their metabolism and that of distal organs, so it is of great clinical significance to study the changes in glucose metabolism at different tumor stages and their effect on glucose metabolism in other organs. Methods A retrospective single-centre study was conducted on 253 NSCLC (non-small cell lung cancer) patients with negative lymph nodes and no distant metastasis. According to the AJCC criteria, the patients were divided into different groups based on tumor size: stage IA, less than 3 cm (group 1, n = 121); stage IB, greater than 3-4 cm (group 2, n = 64); stage IIA, greater than 4-5 cm (group 3, n = 36); and stage IIB, greater than 5-7 cm (group 4, n = 32). All of the patients underwent baseline 18F-FDG PET/CT scans, and the primary lesion SUVmax (maximum standardized uptake value), liver SUVmean (mean standardized uptake value), spleen SUVmean, TLR (Tumor-to-liver SUV ratio) and TSR (Tumor-to-spleen SUV ratio) were included in the study, combined with clinical examination indicators to evaluate DFS (disease free survival). Results In NSCLC patients, with the increase in the maximum diameter of the tumor, the SUVmax of the primary lesion gradually increased, and the SUVmean of the liver gradually decreased. The primary lesion SUVmax, liver SUVmean, TLR and TSR were related to disease recurrence or death. The best predictive parameters were different when the tumor size differed. SUVmax had the highest efficiency when the tumor size was less than 4 cm (AUC:0.707 (95% CI, 0.430-0.984) tumor size < 3 cm), (AUC:0.726 (95% CI, 0.539-0.912) tumor size 3-4 cm), liver SUVmean had the highest efficiency when the tumor size was 4-5 cm (AUC:0.712 (95% CI, 0.535-0.889)), and TLR had the highest efficiency when the tumor size was 5-7 cm [AUC:0.925 (95%CI, 0.820-1.000)]. Conclusions In patients with early NSCLC, glucose metabolism reprogramming occurs in the primary lesion and liver. With the increase in tumor size, different metabolic parameters should be selected to evaluate the prognosis of patients.

Abstract
The initiation, progression, and metastatic spread of cancer elicits diverse changes in systemic physiology. In this way, cancer represents a novel homeostatic challenge to the host system. Here, we discuss how the hypothalamus, a critical brain region involved in homeostasis senses, integrates and responds to cancer-induced changes in physiology. Through this lens, cancer-associated changes in behavior (e.g., sleep disruption) and physiology (e.g., glucocorticoid dysregulation) can be viewed as the result of an inability to re-establish homeostasis. We provide examples at each level (receptor sensing, integration of systemic signals, and efferent regulatory pathways) of how homeostatic organization becomes disrupted across different cancers. Finally, we lay out predictions of this hypothesis and highlight outstanding questions that aim to guide further work in this area.

Abstract
The circadian system induces oscillations in most physiological variables, with periods close to 24 hours. Dysfunctions in clock-controlled body functions, such as sleep disorders, as well as deregulation of clock gene expression or glucocorticoid levels have been observed in cancer patients. Moreover, these disorders have been associated with a poor prognosis or worse response to treatment. This work explored the circadian rhythms at behavioral and molecular levels in a murine melanoma model induced by subcutaneous inoculation of B16 tumoral cells. We observed that the presence of the tumors induced a decrease in the robustness of the locomotor activity rhythms and in the amount of nighttime activity, together with a delay in the acrophase and in the activity onset. Moreover, these differences were more marked when the tumor size was larger than in the initial stages of the tumorigenesis protocol. In addition, serum glucocorticoids, which exhibit strong clock-controlled rhythms, lost their circadian patterns. Similarly, the rhythmic expression of the clock genes Bmal1 and Cry1 in the hypothalamic Suprachiasmatic Nuclei (SCN) were also deregulated in mice carrying tumors. Altogether, these results suggest that tumor-secreted molecules could modulate the function of the central circadian pacemaker (SCN). This could account for the worsening of the peripheral biological rhythms such as locomotor activity or serum glucocorticoids. Since disruption of the circadian rhythms might accelerate tumorigenesis, monitoring circadian patterns in cancer patients could offer a new tool to get a better prognosis for this disease.

Abstract
Solid cancers comprise a large number of new cases and deaths from cancer each year globally. There are a number of strategies for addressing tumors raised from solid organs including surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, combinational therapy, and stem cell and extracellular vesicle (EV) therapy. Surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy are the dominant cures, but are not always effective, in which even in a localized tumor there is a possibility of tumor relapse after surgical resection. Over half of the cancer patients will receive radiotherapy as a part of their therapeutic schedule. Radiotherapy can cause an abscopal response for boosting the activity of the immune system outside the local field of radiation, but it may also cause an unwanted bystander effect, predisposing nonradiated cells into carcinogenesis. In the context of immunotherapy, immune checkpoint inhibition is known as the standard-of-care, but the major concern is in regard with cold cancers that show low responses to such therapy. Stem-cell therapy can be used to send prodrugs toward the tumor area; this strategy, however, has its own predicaments, such as unwanted attraction toward the other sites including healthy tissues and its instability. A substitute to such therapy and quite a novel strategy is to use EVs, by virtue of their stability and potential to cross biological barriers and long-term storage of contents. Combination therapy is the current focus. Despite advances in the field, there are still unmet concerns in the area of effective cancer therapy, raising challenges and opportunities for future investigations.

Abstract
The mammalian circadian timing system and metabolism are highly interconnected, and disruption of this coupling is associated with negative health outcomes. Krüppel-like factors (KLFs) are transcription factors that govern metabolic homeostasis in various organs. Many KLFs show a circadian expression in the liver. Here, we show that the loss of the clock-controlled KLF10 in hepatocytes results in extensive reprogramming of the mouse liver circadian transcriptome, which in turn alters the temporal coordination of pathways associated with energy metabolism. We also show that glucose and fructose induce Klf10, which helps mitigate glucose intolerance and hepatic steatosis in mice challenged with a sugar beverage. Functional genomics further reveal that KLF10 target genes are primarily involved in central carbon metabolism. Together, these findings show that in the liver KLF10 integrates circadian timing and sugar metabolism-related signaling, and serves as a transcriptional brake that protects against the deleterious effects of increased sugar consumption.

Abstract
Despite major developments in lung cancer investigations and the progress of innovative oncology treatments in recent decades, lung cancer continues to be the predominant cause of cancer-related mortality globally, with over a million deaths each year. This highlights the urgent need to develop a deeper understanding of the current state of cancer care. At the environmental and cellular levels, circadian rhythms are closely associated with living organisms. In humans, the suprachiasmatic nucleus is the principal circadian pacemaker. Circadian gene feedback loops regulate the clock, connecting peripheral tissue metabolism, cell proliferation, DNA repair, and cell death to energy homeostasis, physical activity, and neurohormonal regulation at the organismal level. Endogenous circadian homeostasis has been frequently disturbed in modern civilizations, resulting in a higher risk of many disorders, including lung cancer.

Endogenous circadian homeostasis has been frequently disturbed in modern civilizations, resulting in a higher risk of many disorders, including lung cancer. The mammalian circadian clock controls metabolism and cell division, and disruption of these processes may lead to cancer pathogenesis. Furthermore, circadian disturbance has recently been identified as a self-regulating cancer risk factor and is listed as a carcinogen. The theory that both somatic and systemic disturbances of circadian rhythms are related to a higher risk of lung cancer development and poor prognosis is addressed in this study. The chronotherapy principles hold much more promise for enhancing the lung cancer care options currently available. Developing a better understanding of the molecular interactions that control the physiological equilibrium between both the circadian rhythm and the cycle of cell division could significantly influence the development of novel treatments for lung cancer and other diseases.

Abstract
The circadian clock component NR1D1 (REVERBα) is considered a dominant regulator of lipid metabolism, with global Nr1d1 deletion driving dysregulation of white adipose tissue (WAT) lipogenesis and obesity. However, a similar phenotype is not observed under adipocyte-selective deletion (Nr1d1Flox2-6:AdipoqCre), and transcriptional profiling demonstrates that, under basal conditions, direct targets of NR1D1 regulation are limited, and include the circadian clock and collagen dynamics. Under high-fat diet (HFD) feeding, Nr1d1Flox2-6:AdipoqCre mice do manifest profound obesity, yet without the accompanying WAT inflammation and fibrosis exhibited by controls. Integration of the WAT NR1D1 cistrome with differential gene expression reveals broad control of metabolic processes by NR1D1 which is unmasked in the obese state. Adipocyte NR1D1 does not drive an anticipatory daily rhythm in WAT lipogenesis, but rather modulates WAT activity in response to alterations in metabolic state. Importantly, NR1D1 action in adipocytes is critical to the development of obesity-related WAT pathology and insulin resistance.

Abstract
Circadian rhythms evolved through adaptation to daily light/dark changes in the environment; they are believed to be regulated by the core circadian clock interlocking feedback loop. Recent studies indicate that each core component executes general and specific functions in metabolism. Here, we review the current understanding of the role of these core circadian clock genes in the regulation of metabolism using various genetically modified animal models. Additionally, emerging evidence shows that exposure to environmental stimuli, such as artificial light, unbalanced diet, mistimed eating, and exercise, remodels the circadian physiological processes and causes metabolic disorders. This Review summarizes the reciprocal regulation between the circadian clock and metabolism, highlights remaining gaps in knowledge about the regulation of circadian rhythms and metabolism, and examines potential applications to human health and disease.

Abstract
An important priority in the cardiovascular care of oncology patients is to reduce morbidity and mortality, and improve the quality of life in cancer survivors through cross-disciplinary efforts. The rate of survival in cancer patients has improved dramatically over the past decades. Nonetheless, survivors may be more likely to die from cardiovascular disease in the long term, secondary, not only to the potential toxicity of cancer therapeutics, but also to the biology of cancer. In this context, efforts from basic and translational studies are crucial to understanding the molecular mechanisms causal to cardiovascular disease in cancer patients and survivors, and identifying new therapeutic targets that may prevent and treat both diseases. This review aims to highlight our current understanding of the metabolic interaction between cancer and the heart, including potential therapeutic targets. An overview of imaging techniques that can support both research studies and clinical management is also provided. Finally, this review highlights opportunities and challenges that are necessary to advance our understanding of metabolism in the context of cardio-oncology.

Abstract
The MYC oncoprotein and its family members N-MYC and L-MYC are known to drive a wide variety of human cancers. Emerging evidence suggests that MYC has a bi-directional relationship with the molecular clock in cancer. The molecular clock is responsible for circadian (~24 h) rhythms in most eukaryotic cells and organisms, as a mechanism to adapt to light/dark cycles. Disruption of human circadian rhythms, such as through shift work, may serve as a risk factor for cancer, but connections with oncogenic drivers such as MYC were previously not well understood. In this review, we examine recent evidence that MYC in cancer cells can disrupt the molecular clock; and conversely, that molecular clock disruption in cancer can deregulate and elevate MYC. Since MYC and the molecular clock control many of the same processes, we then consider competition between MYC and the molecular clock in several select aspects of tumor biology, including chromatin state, global transcriptional profile, metabolic rewiring, and immune infiltrate in the tumor. Finally, we discuss how the molecular clock can be monitored or diagnosed in human tumors, and how MYC inhibition could potentially restore molecular clock function. Further study of the relationship between the molecular clock and MYC in cancer may reveal previously unsuspected vulnerabilities which could lead to new treatment strategies.

Abstract
The integration of circadian and metabolic signals is essential for maintaining robust circadian rhythms and ensuring efficient metabolism and energy use. Using Drosophila as an animal model, we show that cellular protein O-GlcNAcylation exhibits robust 24-hour rhythm and represents a key post-translational mechanism that regulates circadian physiology. We observe strong correlation between protein O-GlcNAcylation rhythms and clock-controlled feeding-fasting cycles, suggesting that O-GlcNAcylation rhythms are primarily driven by nutrient input. Interestingly, daily O-GlcNAcylation rhythms are severely dampened when we subject flies to time-restricted feeding at unnatural feeding time. This suggests the presence of clock-regulated buffering mechanisms that prevent excessive O-GlcNAcylation at non-optimal times of the day-night cycle. We show that this buffering mechanism is mediated by the expression and activity of GFAT, OGT, and OGA, which are regulated through integration of circadian and metabolic signals. Finally, we generate a mathematical model to describe the key factors that regulate daily O-GlcNAcylation rhythm.

Abstract
People that develop extracranial cancers often display co-morbid neurological disorders, such as anxiety, depression and cognitive impairment, even before commencement of chemotherapy. This suggests bidirectional crosstalk between non-CNS tumours and the brain, which can regulate peripheral tumour growth. However, the reciprocal neurological effects of tumour progression on brain homeostasis are not well understood. Here, we review brain regions involved in regulating peripheral tumour development and how they, in turn, are adversely affected by advancing tumour burden. Tumour-induced activation of the immune system, blood-brain barrier breakdown and chronic neuroinflammation can lead to circadian rhythm dysfunction, sleep disturbances, aberrant glucocorticoid production, decreased hippocampal neurogenesis and dysregulation of neural network activity, resulting in depression and memory impairments. Given that cancer-related cognitive impairment diminishes patient quality of life, reduces adherence to chemotherapy and worsens cancer prognosis, it is essential that more research is focused at understanding how peripheral tumours affect brain homeostasis.

Abstract
Creatures on earth have the capacity to preserve homeostasis in response to changing environments. The circadian clock enables organisms to adapt to daily predictable rhythms in surrounding conditions. In mammals, circadian clocks constitute hierarchical network, where the central pacemaker in hypothalamic suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) serves as a time-keeping machinery and governs peripheral clocks in every other organ through descending neural and humoral factors. The central clock in SCN is reset by light, whilst peripheral clocks are entrained by feeding-fasting rhythms, emphasizing the point that temporal patterns of nutrient availability specifies peripheral clock functions. Indeed, emerging evidence revealed various types of diets or timing of food intake reprogram circadian rhythms in a tissue specific manner. This advancement in understanding of mechanisms underlying tissue specific responsiveness of circadian oscillators to nutrients at the genomic and epigenomic levels is largely owing to employment of state-of-the-art technologies. Specifically, high-throughput transcriptome, proteome, and metabolome have provided insights into how genes, proteins, and metabolites behave over circadian cycles in a given tissue under a certain dietary condition in an unbiased fashion. Additionally, combinations with specialized types of sequencing such as nascent-seq and ribosomal profiling allow us to dissect how circadian rhythms are generated or obliterated at each step of gene regulation. Importantly, chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by deep sequencing methods provide chromatin landscape in terms of regulatory mechanisms of circadian gene expression. In this review, we outline recent discoveries on temporal genomic and epigenomic regulation of circadian rhythms, discussing entrainment of the circadian rhythms by feeding as a fundamental new comprehension of metabolism and immune response, and as a potential therapeutic strategy of metabolic and inflammatory diseases.

Rewiring of lactate-IL-1β auto-regulatory loop with Clock-Bmal1: A feed-forward circuit in glioma. Mol Cell Biol 2021; 41:e0044920.

Abstract
De-synchronized circadian rhythm in tumors is coincident with aberrant inflammation and dysregulated metabolism. As their inter-relationship in cancer etiology is largely unknown, we investigated the link between the three in glioma. Tumor metabolite lactate- mediated increase in pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-1β was concomitant with elevated levels of core circadian regulators Clock and Bmal1. siRNA mediated knockdown of Bmal1 and Clock decreased (i) LDHA and IL-1β levels and (ii) release of lactate and pro-inflammatory cytokines. Lactate mediated deacetylation of Bmal1 and its interaction with Clock, regulate IL-1β levels and vice versa. Site-directed mutagenesis and luciferase reporter assay indicated the functionality of E-box sites on LDHA and IL-1β promoters. ChIP-re-ChIP revealed that lactate-IL-1β crosstalk positively affects co-recruitment of Clock-Bmal1 to these E-box sites. Clock-Bmal1 enrichment was accompanied by decreased H3K9me3, and increased H3K9ac and RNA pol II occupancy. Lactate-IL-1β-Clock (LIC) loop positively regulated expression of genes associated with cell cycle, DNA damage and cytoskeletal organization involved in glioma progression. TCGA data analysis suggested the presence of lactate- IL-1β-crosstalk in other cancers. The responsiveness of stomach and cervical cancer cells to lactate inhibition followed the same trend exhibited by glioma cells. In addition, components of LIC loop were found to be correlated with (i) patient survival, (ii) clinically actionable genes, and (iii) anti-cancer drug sensitivity. Our findings provide evidence for a potential cancer-specific axis wiring of IL-1β and LDHA through Clock -Bmal1, the outcome of which is to fuel an IL-1β-lactate autocrine loop that drives pro-inflammatory and oncogenic signals.

Association of Circadian Clock Gene Expression with Glioma Tumor Microenvironment and Patient Survival. Cancers (Basel) 2021; 13:cancers13112756.

Abstract
Simple Summary Gliomas are the most common type of malignant primary brain tumors and are classified according to the cell of origin and genetic features, which can help predict the prognosis and treatment sensitivity. Improving the prognosis remains a challenge; however, chronobiology is a promising field for future works, as circadian clock genes are linked to the tumor biology and outcomes in multiple cancers, including glioma. Here, we examined the relationship of circadian clock genes, IDH mutational status, and prognosis in glioma patients by using unsupervised clustering of the expression of 13 clock genes. We further explored the expression of the clock genes across the tumor regions and cell subpopulations, highlighting the importance of the tumor microenvironment in researching circadian rhythms in cancer. Our research is important for understanding how best to target circadian rhythms to improve patient outcomes in neuro-oncology. Abstract Circadian clock genes have been linked to clinical outcomes in cancer, including gliomas. However, these studies have not accounted for established markers that predict the prognosis, including mutations in Isocitrate Dehydrogenase (IDH), which characterize the majority of lower-grade gliomas and secondary high-grade gliomas. To demonstrate the connection between circadian clock genes and glioma outcomes while accounting for the IDH mutational status, we analyzed multiple publicly available gene expression datasets. The unsupervised clustering of 13 clock gene transcriptomic signatures from The Cancer Genome Atlas showed distinct molecular subtypes representing different disease states and showed the differential prognosis of these groups by a Kaplan–Meier analysis. Further analyses of these groups showed that a low period (PER) gene expression was associated with the negative prognosis and enrichment of the immune signaling pathways. These findings prompted the exploration of the relationship between the microenvironment and clock genes in additional datasets. Circadian clock gene expression was found to be differentially expressed across the anatomical tumor location and cell type. Thus, the circadian clock expression is a potential predictive biomarker in glioma, and further mechanistic studies to elucidate the connections between the circadian clock and microenvironment are warranted.

Abstract
Lung adenocarcinoma is associated with cachexia, which manifests as an inflammatory response that causes wasting of adipose tissue and skeletal muscle. We previously reported that lung tumor-bearing (TB) mice exhibit alterations in inflammatory and hormonal signaling that deregulate circadian pathways governing glucose and lipid metabolism in the liver. Here, we define the molecular mechanism of how de novo glucose production in the liver is enhanced in a model of lung adenocarcinoma. We found that elevation of serum glucagon levels stimulates cyclic adenosine monophosphate production and activates hepatic protein kinase A (PKA) signaling in TB mice. In turn, we found that PKA targets and destabilizes the circadian protein REV-ERBα, a negative transcriptional regulator of gluconeogenic genes, resulting in heightened de novo glucose production. Together, we identified that glucagon-activated PKA signaling regulates REV-ERBα stability to control hepatic glucose production in a model of lung cancer-associated cachexia.

Abstract
Aim Alterations in circadian rhythms caused by tumor growth are thought to be clinically relevant as they affect the prognosis and treatment response. We aimed to evaluate the chronotherapeutic approach in rats with ovarian cancer receiving cisplatin intravenously (IV) or with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemoperfusion (HIPEC) and to assess daily variations in tumor and intestinal epithelium proliferation. Methods In the pilot study, we used 12 intact rats and 12 rats with transplantable ovarian cancer, which were euthanized at ZT0 (08:00, lights on), ZT6, ZT12 and ZT18. In the main study, we used 45 rats with transplantable ovarian cancer. Animals were randomized into five groups: control, HIPEC with cisplatin at ZT0 (08:00), HIPEC with cisplatin at ZT12 (20:00), IV cisplatin at ZT0 and IV cisplatin at ZT12. We assessed the proliferation rate of tumor and small intestinal epithelium, apoptosis in small intestinal epithelium, and levels of γ-H2AX (DNA damage/repair marker) in kidneys and liver. Survival was calculated in each group. Results Ascitic ovarian cancer disrupted daily variations in intestinal epithelium proliferation and DNA damage/repair in rats. Ovarian carcinoma exhibited no daily variation in mitotic activity. In animals receiving IV cisplatin, massive cell damage in the renal medulla and cystic changes within renal tubules were observed, unlike in rats receiving HIPEC. Tumor mitotic activity was lower in morning-treated groups. The median survival of rats in the control group was 8.5 days (95% CI 6.0–22.0), in HIPEC at ZT0 40.5 days (95% CI 28.0–47.0, p<0.001) and in HIPEC at ZT12 32.0 days (95% CI 28.0–37.0, p<0.001). Conclusion In a rat model, ovarian tumor growth disrupted daily variations in intestinal epithelium proliferation and caused genotoxic stress in tumor-free tissues. HIPEC with cisplatin at ZT0 had a better efficacy/toxicity profile than HIPEC with cisplatin at ZT12 and IV administration at both time points.

Abstract
Circadian clocks temporally coordinate physiology and align it with geophysical time, which enables diverse life-forms to anticipate daily environmental cycles. In complex organisms, clock function originates from the molecular oscillator within each cell and builds upward anatomically into an organism-wide system. Recent advances have transformed our understanding of how clocks are connected to achieve coherence across tissues. Circadian misalignment, often imposed in modern society, disrupts coordination among clocks and has been linked to diseases ranging from metabolic syndrome to cancer. Thus, uncovering the physiological circuits whereby biological clocks achieve coherence will inform on both challenges and opportunities in human health.

Abstract
The circadian clock evolved in diverse organisms to integrate external environmental changes and internal physiology. The clock endows the host with temporal precision and robust adaptation to the surrounding environment. When circadian rhythms are perturbed or misaligned, as a result of jet lag, shiftwork or other lifestyle factors, adverse health consequences arise, and the risks of diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases or metabolic disorders increase. Although the negative impact of circadian rhythm disruption is now well established, it remains underappreciated how to take advantage of biological timing, or correct it, for health benefits. In this Review, we provide an updated account of the circadian system and highlight several key disease areas with altered circadian signalling. We discuss environmental and lifestyle modifications of circadian rhythm and clock-based therapeutic strategies, including chronotherapy, in which dosing time is deliberately optimized for maximum therapeutic index, and pharmacological agents that target core clock components and proximal regulators. Promising progress in research, disease models and clinical applications should encourage a concerted effort towards a new era of circadian medicine.

Abstract
To synchronize various biological processes with the day and night cycle, most organisms have developed circadian clocks. This evolutionarily conserved system is important in the temporal regulation of behavior, physiology and metabolism. Multiple pathological changes associated with circadian disruption support the importance of the clocks in mammals. Emerging links have revealed interplay between circadian clocks and signaling networks in cancer. Understanding the cross-talk between the circadian clock and tumorigenesis is imperative for its prevention, management and development of effective treatment options. In this review, we summarize the role of the circadian clock in regulation of one important metabolic pathway, insulin/IGF1/PI3K/mTOR signaling, and how dysregulation of this metabolic pathway could lead to uncontrolled cancer cell proliferation and growth. Targeting the circadian clock and rhythms either with recently discovered pharmaceutical agents or through environmental cues is a new direction in cancer chronotherapy. Combining the circadian approach with traditional methods, such as radiation, chemotherapy or the recently developed, immunotherapy, may improve tumor response, while simultaneously minimizing the adverse effects commonly associated with cancer therapies.

Abstract
Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer-associated deaths worldwide. Lung cancer may lead to circadian disruption, which could contribute to the development of lung cancer. Recently, several studies using animal models indicated that tumors influence systemic circadian homeostasis in remote tissues. However, it is unclear whether carcinoma of the lungs influences remote circadian rhythm, whether this effect exists in humans, and whether signals from the tumor travel through the blood. In this study, we used a cell-based assay to determine whether serum from patients with lung adenocarcinoma could modulate the molecular clock. We found that the daily oscillation period of Bmal1 was significantly lengthened following treatment with serum from untreated lung adenocarcinoma patients. In addition, heat inactivation of this serum abolished the effect, suggesting that a heat-sensitive circulating factor(s) is present in the serum of untreated lung adenocarcinoma patients. Using real-time PCR, we also examined the mRNA abundance of Bmal1, Cry1, and Per1 in human osteosarcoma u2os cell line, HUVECs and A549 cell lines. The expression of Bmal1 was changed in A549 cells in the presence of sera from lung adenocarcinoma patients. Our study revealed a direct effect of serum from lung adenocarcinoma patients on the molecular clock.

Abstract
Cachexia is a severe complication of cancer that adversely affects the course of the disease, with currently no effective treatments. It is characterized by a progressive atrophy of skeletal muscle and adipose tissue, resulting in weight loss, a reduced quality of life, and a shortened life expectancy. Although the cachectic condition primarily affects the skeletal muscle, a tissue that accounts for ~40% of total body weight, cachexia is considered a multi-organ disease that involves different tissues and organs, among which the cardiac muscle stands out for its relevance. Patients with cancer often experience severe cardiac abnormalities and manifest symptoms that are indicative of chronic heart failure, including fatigue, shortness of breath, and impaired exercise tolerance. Furthermore, cardiovascular complications are among the major causes of death in cancer patients who experienced cachexia. The lack of effective treatments for cancer cachexia underscores the need to improve our understanding of the underlying mechanisms. Increasing evidence links the wasting of the cardiac and skeletal muscles to metabolic alterations, primarily increased energy expenditure, and to increased proteolysis, ensuing from activation of the major proteolytic machineries of the cell, including ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis and autophagy. This review aims at providing an overview of the key mechanisms of cancer cachexia, with a major focus on those that are shared by the skeletal and cardiac muscles.

Abstract
Cachexia is a complication of dismal prognosis, which often represents the last step of several chronic diseases. For this reason, the comprehension of the molecular drivers of such a condition is crucial for the development of management approaches. Importantly, cachexia is a syndrome affecting various organs, which often results in systemic complications. To date, the majority of the research on cachexia has been focused on skeletal muscle, muscle atrophy being a pivotal cause of weight loss and the major feature associated with the steep reduction in quality of life. Nevertheless, defining the impact of cachexia on other organs is essential to properly comprehend the complexity of such a condition and potentially develop novel therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
Cancer cells are abnormal cells that can reproduce and regenerate rapidly. They are characterized by unlimited proliferation, transformation and migration, and can destroy normal cells. To meet the needs for cell proliferation and migration, tumor cells acquire molecular materials and energy through unusual metabolic pathways as their metabolism is more vigorous than that of normal cells. Multiple carcinogenic signaling pathways eventually converge to regulate three major metabolic pathways in tumor cells, including glucose, lipid, and amino acid metabolism. The distinct metabolic signatures of cancer cells reflect that metabolic changes are indispensable for the genesis and development of tumor cells. In this review, we report the unique metabolic alterations in tumor cells which occur through various signaling axes, and present various modalities available for cancer diagnosis and clinical therapy. We further provide suggestions for the development of anti‐tumor therapeutic drugs.

Abstract
Circadian rhythms govern a large array of physiological and metabolic functions. Perturbations of the daily cycle have been linked to elevated risk of developing cancer as well as poor prognosis in patients with cancer. Also, expression of core clock genes or proteins is remarkably attenuated particularly in tumours of a higher stage or that are more aggressive, possibly linking the circadian clock to cellular differentiation. Emerging evidence indicates that metabolic control by the circadian clock underpins specific hallmarks of cancer metabolism. Indeed, to support cell proliferation and biomass production, the clock may direct metabolic processes of cancer cells in concert with non-clock transcription factors to control how nutrients and metabolites are utilized in a time-specific manner. We hypothesize that the metabolic switch between differentiation or stemness of cancer may be coupled to the molecular clockwork. Moreover, circadian rhythms of host organisms appear to dictate tumour growth and proliferation. This Review outlines recent discoveries of the interplay between circadian rhythms, proliferative metabolism and cancer, highlighting potential opportunities in the development of future therapeutic strategies.

Int J Mol Med 2020; 46:2216-2224.

Abstract
Circadian rhythm plays an important role in diverse physiological processes. Abnormal expression of circadian rhythm genes is associated with increased risk of disease, including different types of cancer. The cancer stem cell (CSC) hypothesis suggests that there is a small subset of stem-like cells within tumors that are responsible for tumor initiation. However, the biological effect of circadian rhythm on CSCs remains largely unknown. Studies have highlighted that the circadian rhythm protein CLOCK controls key aspects of various diseases. In the present study, lung cancer stem-like cells were successfully enriched using a sphere formation assay. Next, it was observed that CLOCK mRNA and protein expression levels in the A549 and H1299 sphere cells were notably increased compared with those in the corresponding parental cells. In addition, flow cytometry was performed to isolate CD133+ cells and, consistently, CLOCK expression was also found to be markedly upregulated in CD133+ lung cancer cells. Subsequently, to determine the effect of CLOCK on lung cancer stem cells in detail, CLOCK was knocked down using targeted short inhibiting RNA and the results demonstrated that the sphere-forming ability of the A549 and H1299 cell lines was reduced. In addition, CSC-like properties, including the expression of CD133, CD44, sex determining region Y-box 2, Nanog and octamer-binding transcription factor 4, were markedly decreased in the A549 and H1299 sphere cells following knockdown of CLOCK. Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), a green tea polyphenol, has been reported to be a potential anticancer phytochemical. EGCG was found to repress CLOCK expression in A549 and H1299 sphere cells. In addition, EGCG also decreased the ratio of CD133+ cells. The Wnt/β-catenin pathway was notably inactivated by the knockdown of CLOCK in A549 and H1299 sphere cells. Subsequently, using a xenograft model, it was demonstrated that EGCG suppressed the CSC-like characteristics of lung cancer cells by targeting CLOCK. In conclusion, the present study demonstrated that EGCG inhibited the self-renewal ability of lung cancer stem-like cells by targeting CLOCK.

Abstract
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) and its metabolites function as critical regulators to maintain physiologic processes, enabling the plastic cells to adapt to environmental changes including nutrient perturbation, genotoxic factors, circadian disorder, infection, inflammation and xenobiotics. These effects are mainly achieved by the driving effect of NAD+ on metabolic pathways as enzyme cofactors transferring hydrogen in oxidation-reduction reactions. Besides, multiple NAD+-dependent enzymes are involved in physiology either by post-synthesis chemical modification of DNA, RNA and proteins, or releasing second messenger cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) and NAADP+. Prolonged disequilibrium of NAD+ metabolism disturbs the physiological functions, resulting in diseases including metabolic diseases, cancer, aging and neurodegeneration disorder. In this review, we summarize recent advances in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of NAD+-regulated physiological responses to stresses, the contribution of NAD+ deficiency to various diseases via manipulating cellular communication networks and the potential new avenues for therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
Circadian rhythms integrate many physiological pathways, helping organisms to align the timing of various internal processes to daily cycles in the external environment. Disrupted circadian rhythmicity is a prominent feature of modern society, and has been designated as a probable carcinogen. Here, we review multiple studies, in humans and animal models, that suggest a causal effect between circadian disruption and increased risk of cancer. We also discuss the complexity of this connection, which may depend on the cellular context. SIGNIFICANCE: Accumulating evidence points to an adverse effect of circadian disruption on cancer incidence and progression, indicating that time of day could influence the effectiveness of interventions targeting cancer prevention and management.

Abstract
The overarching view of current tumor therapies simplifies cancer to a cell-biology problem in which neoplasms are caused solely by malignant cells and the exploration of carcinogenesis and tumor progression largely focuses on somatic mutations and other genetic abnormalities of cancer cells. The limited therapeutic response indicates that cancer is driven not only by endogenous oncogenic factors and reciprocal interactions within the tumor microenvironment, but also by complex systemic processes. Homeostasis is the fundamental premise of health, and is maintained by systemic regulation of neuro-endocrine-immune axis. Cancer is also a systemic disease that manifested by dysfunction of the nervous, endocrine, and immune systems. Multiple axes of regulation exist in cancer, including central-, organ-, and microenvironment-level manipulation. At each specific regulatory level, the tridirectional communication among the nervous, endocrine, and immune factors transmit flexible signaling to induce proliferation, invasion, reprogrammed metabolism, therapeutic resistance, and other malignant phenotypes of cancer cells, resulting in the extremely poor prognosis of this lethal disease. Understanding this coordinated signaling network will enable the development of new approaches for cancer treatment via behavioral and pharmacological interventions.

Abstract
The circadian clock protein REVERBα is proposed to be a key regulator of liver metabolism. We now show that REVERBα action is critically dependent on metabolic state. Using transgenic mouse models, we show that the true role of REVERBα is to buffer against aberrant responses to metabolic perturbation, rather than confer rhythmic regulation to programs of lipid synthesis and storage, as has been thought previously. Thus, in the case of liver metabolism, the clock does not so much drive rhythmic processes, as provide protection against mistimed feeding cues. Understanding how the clock is coupled to metabolism is critical for understanding metabolic disease and the impacts of circadian disruptors such as shift work and 24-h lifestyles. The nuclear receptor REVERBα is a core component of the circadian clock and proposed to be a dominant regulator of hepatic lipid metabolism. Using antibody-independent ChIP-sequencing of REVERBα in mouse liver, we reveal a high-confidence cistrome and define direct target genes. REVERBα-binding sites are highly enriched for consensus RORE or RevDR2 motifs and overlap with corepressor complex binding. We find no evidence for transcription factor tethering and DNA-binding domain-independent action. Moreover, hepatocyte-specific deletion of Reverbα drives only modest physiological and transcriptional dysregulation, with derepressed target gene enrichment limited to circadian processes. Thus, contrary to previous reports, hepatic REVERBα does not repress lipogenesis under basal conditions. REVERBα control of a more extensive transcriptional program is only revealed under conditions of metabolic perturbation (including mistimed feeding, which is a feature of the global Reverbα−/− mouse). Repressive action of REVERBα in the liver therefore serves to buffer against metabolic challenge, rather than drive basal rhythmicity in metabolic activity.

Abstract
Fatigue is a common and debilitating symptom of cancer with few effective interventions. Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is often associated with increases in inflammatory cytokines, however inflammation may not be requisite for this symptom, suggesting other biological mediators also play a role. Because tumors are highly metabolically active and can amplify their energetic toll via effects on distant organs, we sought to determine whether CRF could be explained by metabolic competition exacted by the tumor. We used a highly metabolically active murine E6/E7/hRas model of head and neck cancer for this purpose. Mice with or without tumors were submitted to metabolic constraints in the form of voluntary wheel running or acute overnight fasting and their adaptive behavioral (home cage activity and fasting-induced wheel running) and metabolic responses (blood glucose, ketones, and liver metabolic gene expression) were monitored. We found that the addition of running wheel was necessary to measure activity loss, used as a surrogate for fatigue in this study. Tumor-bearing mice engaged in wheel running showed a decrease in blood glucose levels and an increase in lactate accumulation in the skeletal muscle, consistent with inhibition of the Cori cycle. These changes were associated with gene expression changes in the livers consistent with increased glycolysis and suppressed gluconeogenesis. Fasting also decreased blood glucose in tumor-bearing mice, without impairing glucose or insulin tolerance. Fasting-induced increases in wheel running and ketogenesis were suppressed by tumors, which was again associated with a shift from gluconeogenic to glycolytic metabolism in the liver. Blockade of IL-6 signaling with a neutralizing antibody failed to recover any of the behavioral or metabolic outcomes. Taken together, these data indicate that metabolic competition between the tumor and the rest of the organism is an important component of fatigue and support the hypothesis of a central role for IL-6-independent hepatic metabolic reprogramming in the pathophysiology of CRF.

Abstract
Epithelial-mesenchymal transformation (EMT) is associated with drug resistance in human lung adenocarcinoma cells, but its specific mechanism has not been clarified. In this study, we investigated the effect of miRNA-146b on EMT in cisplatin (DDP) resistant human lung adenocarcinoma cells and the corresponding mechanism. Cisplatin resistant (CR) human lung adenocarcinoma cells (A549/DDP and H1299/DDP) were established, and the EMT characteristics and invasion and metastasis ability of CR cells were determined by tumor cell-related biological behavior experiments. The role of miR-146b in EMT of CR cells was determined by in vitro functional test. The targeted binding of miR-146b to protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) was verified by biological information and double luciferin gene reporting experiments. The effect of miR-146b on tumor growth and EMT phenotype in vivo was investigated by establishing the xenotransplantation mouse model. Compared with the control group, H1299/DDP and A549/DDP cells showed the enhanced EMT phenotypes, invasion and migration ability. Besides, miR-146b was lowly expressed in H1299/DDP and A549/DDP cells. More importantly, overexpressed miR-146b could specifically bind to PTP1B, thus inhibiting the EMT process and ultimately reducing CR in H1299/DDP and A549/DDP cells. Finally, overexpressed miR-146b observably inhibited tumor growth in xenograft model mice and inhibited the EMT phenotype of A549/DDP cells in vivo by regulating the expressions of EMT-related proteins. Overexpressed miR-146b could reverse the EMT phenotype of CR lung adenocarcinoma cells by targeting PTP1B, providing new therapeutic directions for CR of lung adenocarcinoma cells.

Abstract
A large number of hepatic functions are regulated by the circadian clock and recent evidence suggests that clock disruption could be a risk factor for liver complications. The circadian transcription factor Krüppel like factor 10 (KLF10) has been involved in liver metabolism as well as cellular inflammatory and death pathways. Here, we show that hepatic steatosis and inflammation display diurnal rhythmicity in mice developing steatohepatitis upon feeding with a methionine and choline deficient diet (MCDD). Core clock gene mRNA oscillations remained mostly unaffected but rhythmic Klf10 expression was abolished in this model. We further show that Klf10 deficient mice display enhanced liver injury and fibrosis priming upon MCDD challenge. Silencing Klf10 also sensitized primary hepatocytes to apoptosis along with increased caspase 3 activation in response to TNFα. This data suggests that MCDD induced steatohepatitis barely affects the core clock mechanism but leads to a reprogramming of circadian gene expression in the liver in analogy to what is observed in other experimental disease paradigms. We further identify KLF10 as a component of this transcriptional reprogramming and a novel hepato-protective factor.

Abstract
Circadian rhythms are 24-hour oscillations affecting an organism at multiple levels from gene expression all the way to tissues and organs. They have been observed in organisms across the kingdom of life, spanning from cyanobacteria to humans. In mammals, the master circadian pacemaker is located in the hypothalamic suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) in the brain where it synchronizes the peripheral oscillators that exist in other tissues. This system regulates the circadian activity of a large part of the transcriptome and recent findings indicate that almost every cell in the body has this clock at the molecular level. In this review, we briefly summarize the different factors that can influence the circadian transcriptome, including light, temperature, and food intake. We then summarize recently identified general principles governing genome-scale circadian regulation, as well as future lines of research. Genome-scale circadian activity represents a fascinating study model for computational biology. For this purpose, systems biology methods are promising exploratory tools to decode the global regulatory principles of circadian regulation.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide and one of the major causes of cancer death in women. Epidemiological studies have established a link between night-shift work and increased cancer risk, suggesting that circadian disruption may play a role in carcinogenesis. Here, we aim to shed light on the effect of chronic jetlag (JL) on mammary tumour development. To do this, we use a mouse model of spontaneous mammary tumourigenesis and subject it to chronic circadian disruption. We observe that circadian disruption significantly increases cancer-cell dissemination and lung metastasis. It also enhances the stemness and tumour-initiating potential of tumour cells and creates an immunosuppressive shift in the tumour microenvironment. Finally, our results suggest that the use of a CXCR2 inhibitor could correct the effect of JL on cancer-cell dissemination and metastasis. Altogether, our data provide a conceptual framework to better understand and manage the effects of chronic circadian disruption on breast cancer progression. Circadian disruption is implicated in the development of different human cancers. Here the authors show that chronic circadian disruption, through continuous jet lag, only moderately affects primary tumour growth but promotes cancer-cell dissemination and metastasis in a mouse model of spontaneous mammary tumorigenesis.

Abstract
The ultimate goal of all medical activity is to restore patients to a state of complete physical, mental, and social wellbeing. In cancer, it is assumed that this can only be obtained through the complete eradication of the tumor burden. So far, this strategy has led to a substantial improvement in cancer survival rates. Despite this, more than 9 million people die from cancer every year. Therefore, we need to accept that our current cancer treatment paradigm is obsolete and must be changed. The new paradigm should reflect that cancer is a systemic disease, which affects an individual patient living in a particular social reality, rather than an invading organism or a mere cluster of mutated cells that need to be eradicated. This Hippocratic holistic view will ultimately lead to an improvement in health and wellbeing in cancer patients. They deserve nothing less.

Abstract
Under normal circadian function, metabolic control is temporally coordinated across tissues and behaviors with a 24-h period. However, circadian disruption results in negative consequences for metabolic homeostasis including energy or redox imbalances. Yet, circadian disruption has become increasingly prevalent within today's society due to many factors including sleep loss. Metabolic consequences of both have been revealed by metabolomics analyses of circadian biology and sleep. Specifically, two primary analytical platforms, mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, have been used to study molecular clock and sleep influences on overall metabolic rhythmicity. For example, human studies have demonstrated the prevalence of metabolic rhythms in human biology, as well as pan-metabolome consequences of sleep disruption. However, human studies are limited to peripheral metabolic readouts primarily through minimally invasive procedures. For further tissue- and organism-specific investigations, a number of model systems have been studied, based upon the conserved nature of both the molecular clock and sleep across species. Here we summarize human studies as well as key findings from metabolomics studies using mice, Drosophila, and zebrafish. While informative, a limitation in existing literature is a lack of interpretation regarding dynamic synthesis or catabolism within metabolite pools. To this extent, future work incorporating isotope tracers, specific metabolite reporters, and single-cell metabolomics may provide a means of exploring dynamic activity in pathways of interest.

Abstract
A hallmark of cancer is the disruption of cellular metabolism during the course of malignant growth. Major focus is now on how these cell-autonomous processes propagate to the tumor microenvironment and, more generally, to the entire host system. This chain of events can have major consequences for a patient's health and wellbeing. For example, metabolic "waste" produced by cancer cells activates systemic inflammatory responses, which can interfere with hepatic insulin receptor signaling and glucose homeostasis. Research is just now beginning to understand how these processes occur, and how they contribute to systemic symptoms prevalent across cancers, including hyperglycemia, fatigue, pain, and sleep disruption. Indeed, it is only recently that we have begun to appreciate that the brain does not play a passive role in responding to cancer-induced changes in physiology. In this review, we provide a brief discussion of how oncogene-directed metabolic reprogramming disrupts host metabolism, with a specific emphasis on cancer-induced hyperglycemia. We further discuss how the brain senses circulating glucose concentrations and how this process goes awry as a response to distant neoplastic growth. Finally, as glucose-sensing neurons control diverse aspects of physiology and behavior, we link cancer-induced changes in energy balance to neuroendocrine and behavioral consequences for the host organism.

Abstract
Circadian rhythms control organismal physiology throughout the day. At the cellular level, clock regulation is established by a self-sustained Bmal1-dependent transcriptional oscillator network. However, it is still unclear how different tissues achieve a synchronized rhythmic physiology. That is, do they respond independently to environmental signals, or require interactions with each other to do so? We show that unexpectedly, light synchronizes the Bmal1-dependent circadian machinery in single tissues in the absence of Bmal1 in all other tissues. Strikingly, light-driven tissue autonomous clocks occur without rhythmic feeding behavior and are lost in constant darkness. Importantly, tissue-autonomous Bmal1 partially sustains homeostasis in otherwise arrhythmic and prematurely aging animals. Our results therefore support a two-branched model for the daily synchronization of tissues: an autonomous response branch, whereby light entrains circadian clocks without any commitment of other Bmal1-dependent clocks, and a memory branch using other Bmal1-dependent clocks to "remember" time in the absence of external cues.

Abstract
Mammals rely on a network of circadian clocks to control daily systemic metabolism and physiology. The central pacemaker in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) is considered hierarchically dominant over peripheral clocks, whose degree of independence, or tissue-level autonomy, has never been ascertained in vivo. Using arrhythmic Bmal1-null mice, we generated animals with reconstituted circadian expression of BMAL1 exclusively in the liver (Liver-RE). High-throughput transcriptomics and metabolomics show that the liver has independent circadian functions specific for metabolic processes such as the NAD+ salvage pathway and glycogen turnover. However, although BMAL1 occupies chromatin at most genomic targets in Liver-RE mice, circadian expression is restricted to ∼10% of normally rhythmic transcripts. Finally, rhythmic clock gene expression is lost in Liver-RE mice under constant darkness. Hence, full circadian function in the liver depends on signals emanating from other clocks, and light contributes to tissue-autonomous clock function.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Hepatic CYP450s play an important role in drug-induced hepatotoxicity. They are altered in liver diseases and in many non-liver diseases, such as extra-hepatic tumours. Consequently, CYP450-mediated abnormal drug exposure increases the incidence and extent of hepatotoxicity. This risk is often underestimated because the mechanisms underlying decreases in hepatic CYP450s in extra-hepatic tumours remain unclear. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH We used Balb/c nude mice with s.c. transplanted 4T1, LoVo and HepG2 tumours to model extra-hepatic tumours. Decreased levels of CYP3A were evaluated by qPCR, western blotting, and metabolic activity. LC-Q/TOF-MS and GC-MS were used in combination for analysing liver metabolomics. The contribution of the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) to decreased CYP3A was assessed using menadione and silencing of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. KEY RESULTS CYP3A activity was inhibited at early stages of tumour growth when no significant inflammatory response was observed. The PPP was predominately disrupted at this non-inflammatory stage. Disruption of the PPP directly inhibited CYP3A through the chk2/p53/p65 pathway at the non-inflammatory stage, but at the later inflammatory stage, it indirectly potentiated the subsequent IL-6-mediated CYP3A decrease. Recovery of the PPP with menadione at the non-inflammatory stage, reversed the decreased CYP3A. Similar reversal was obtained with the IL-6 inhibitor, tocilizumab. Such modulation of the PPP to alleviate CYP3A-mediated drug hepatotoxicity was validated with dasatinib in vivo. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS PPP modulation at early, non-inflammatory stages might provide a novel and distinctive approach to manage drug hepatotoxicity mediated by decreased CYP3A.

Abstract
Methionine enkephalin (MENK), an endogenous opioid peptide, has a role in nervous system, immune system, and anticancer therapy. Inflammation, metabolism and cancer are closely intertwined with each other. This study is to identify the correlation of the antitumor effects of MENK with systemic inflammation, liver metabolism, and immune cells as myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs). We established a subcutaneous CT26 colon carcinoma model and a cyclophosphamide-induced immunosuppressive model subjected to MENK. AML12 and MDSCs were used as in vitro models. The results showed that MENK treatment degraded tumor growth and inhibited proinflammatory cytokines both in tumor tissues and serum. The MENK-treated tumor mice showed normalized liver function with glycolipid metabolic homeostasis. No inhibitory effect on CT26 tumor cell in vitro, but only reduced lipid synthesis in AML12 were presented by MENK. Meanwhile, MENK invigorated immune response in both two animal models by markedly suppressing MDSCs and enhancing T cells response. In vitro MENK-treated MDSCs showed reduced glycolysis and less ROS production, which was mediated by PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. Opioid receptor antagonist naltrexone reversed most of the regulation. These results illustrate that MENK preventing development of colon carcinoma might be correlated with the suppression of inflammation, improving metabolism in liver as well as in MDSCs partly through opioid receptor, which brings new elements supporting the adjuvant therapy for tumor by MENK.

Abstract
In mammals, 24-h rhythms of behaviour and physiology are regulated by the circadian clock. The circadian clock is controlled by a central clock in the brain's suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) that synchronizes peripheral clocks in peripheral tissues. Clock genes in the SCN are primarily entrained by light. Increasing evidence has shown that peripheral clocks are also regulated by light and hormones independent of the SCN. How the peripheral clocks deal with internal signals is dependent on the relevance of a specific cue to a specific tissue. In different tissues, most genes that are under circadian control are not overlapping, revealing the tissue-specific control of peripheral clocks. We will discuss how different signals control the peripheral clocks in different peripheral tissues, such as the liver, gastrointestinal tract, and pancreas, and discuss the organ-to-organ communication between the peripheral clocks at the molecular level.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review is focused on the existing evidence for circadian control of innate and adaptive immune responses to provide a framework for evaluating the contributions of diurnal rhythms to control of infections and pathogenesis of disease. RECENT FINDINGS Circadian rhythms driven by cell-autonomous biological clocks are central to innate and adaptive immune responses against microbial pathogens. Research during the past few years has uncovered circadian circuits governing leukocyte migration between tissues, the magnitude of mucosal inflammation, the types of cytokines produced, and the severity of immune diseases. Other studies revealed how disruption of the circadian clock impairs immune function or how microbial products alter clock machinery. Revelations concerning the widespread impact of the circadian clock on immunity and homeostasis highlight how the timing of inflammatory challenges can dictate pathological outcomes and how the timing of therapeutic interventions likely determines clinical efficacy. An improved understanding of circadian circuits controlling immune function will facilitate advances in circadian immunotherapy.

Abstract
The mammalian circadian clockwork has evolved as a timing system that allows the daily environmental changes to be anticipated so that behavior and tissue physiology can be adjusted accordingly. The circadian clock synchronizes the function of all cells within tissues in order to temporally separate preclusive and potentially harmful physiologic processes and to establish a coherent temporal organismal physiology. Thus, the proper functioning of the circadian clockwork is essential for maintaining cellular and tissue homeostasis. Importantly, aging reduces the robustness of the circadian clock, resulting in disturbed sleep-wake cycles, a lowered capacity to synchronize circadian rhythms in peripheral tissues, and reprogramming of the circadian clock output at the molecular function levels. These circadian clock-dependent behavioral and molecular changes in turn further accelerate the process of aging. Here we review the current knowledge about how aging affects the circadian clock, how the functional decline of the circadian clock affects aging, and how the circadian clock machinery and the molecular processes that underlie aging are intertwined.

Diurnal oscillations of endogenous H 2O 2 sustained by p66 Shc regulate circadian clocks. Nat Cell Biol 2019; 21:1553-1564. [PMID: 31768048 DOI: 10.1038/s41556-019-0420-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 69] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2018] [Accepted: 10/01/2019] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
Redox balance, an essential feature of healthy physiological steady states, is regulated by circadian clocks, but whether or how endogenous redox signalling conversely regulates clockworks in mammals remains unknown. Here, we report circadian rhythms in the levels of endogenous H2O2 in mammalian cells and mouse livers. Using an unbiased method to screen for H2O2-sensitive transcription factors, we discovered that rhythmic redox control of CLOCK directly by endogenous H2O2 oscillations is required for proper intracellular clock function. Importantly, perturbations in the rhythm of H2O2 levels induced by the loss of p66Shc, which oscillates rhythmically in the liver and suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of mice, disturb the rhythmic redox control of CLOCK function, reprogram hepatic transcriptome oscillations, lengthen the circadian period in mice and modulate light-induced clock resetting. Our findings suggest that redox signalling rhythms are intrinsically coupled to the circadian system through reversible oxidative modification of CLOCK and constitute essential mechanistic timekeeping components in mammals.
