Time of day for vaccination, outcomes, and relative effectiveness of high-dose vs. standard-dose quadrivalent influenza vaccine: A post hoc analysis of the DANFLU-1 randomized clinical trial. J Infect 2024; 89:106276. [PMID: 39303788 DOI: 10.1016/j.jinf.2024.106276] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2024] [Accepted: 09/13/2024] [Indexed: 09/22/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Morning influenza vaccination enhances antibody response. In this post hoc analysis of the DANFLU-1 trial, we sought to evaluate the association between time of day for vaccination (ToV) and outcomes and whether ToV modified the relative effectiveness of high-dose (QIV-HD) vs. standard-dose (QIV-SD) quadrivalent influenza vaccine. METHODS DANFLU-1 was a pragmatic feasibility trial of QIV-HD vs. QIV-SD. Outcomes included hospitalizations and mortality. For subgroup analysis, the population was dichotomized at median ToV into two groups (early and late). RESULTS The study population included 12,477 participants. Mean age was 71.7 ± 3.9 years with 5877 (47.1%) female participants. Median ToV was 11.29 AM. Earlier ToV was associated with fewer respiratory hospitalizations independent of vaccine type, which persisted in adjusted analysis (IRR 0.88 per 1-hour decrement (95% CI 0.78- 0.98, p = 0.025). No effect modification by continuous or dichotomous ToV was found. In subgroup analysis, effects consistently favored QIV-HD against hospitalizations for pneumonia or influenza (early: IRR 0.30; late: 0.29), all-cause hospitalizations (early: IRR 0.87; late: 0.86), and mortality (early: HR 0.53; late: 0.50). CONCLUSION In this exploratory post hoc analysis, earlier ToV was associated with fewer respiratory hospitalizations. The relative effectiveness of QIV-HD vs. QIV-SD was not modified by ToV. Further research is needed to confirm findings. TRIAL REGISTRATION Clinicaltrials.gov: NCT05048589.

[PMID: 39252985 PMCID: PMC11381833 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbih.2024.100833] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2024] [Revised: 06/18/2024] [Accepted: 07/28/2024] [Indexed: 09/11/2024] Open
Abstract
Light is essential in shaping human circadian rhythms, including that of the hormone cortisol. While cortisol is known to influence secretion of the cytokine IL-6, the influence of light itself on IL-6 remains unclear. Thus, this study investigated the effects of two light conditions - red and blue - on IL-6 concentrations and the cortisol awakening response in blood. The interplay between cortisol and IL-6 was explored as well. The between-subject experiment was conducted with 71 healthy adult men (aged M red = 24.30, SD = 3.56; M blue = 24.40, SD = 3.51) in a standardized sleep laboratory setting with 60-min light exposure post-awakening at 05:00 a.m. Two mixed models, with light condition and time across measurement points as factors, were calculated. In the one for cortisol, chronotype was introduced as a covariate. Mean cortisol concentrations did not differ between exposure to red vs. blue light (p = 0.443), but overall cortisol output (area under the curve with respect to ground; AUCG) and sensitivity (area under the curve with respect to increase; AUCI) were greater in the blue-light condition (p = 0.050 and p < 0.001, respectively). Additionally, chronotype significantly influenced cortisol concentrations (p = 0.035). As for IL-6, a main effect of time was obtained, with increasing concentrations over time (p = 0.002). Total IL-6 secretion was greater under blue-light exposure (p <. 001), but mean IL-6 concentrations (p = 0.230) and IL-6 sensitivity (p = 0.777) did not differ between the red- and blue-light condition. Mean and total cortisol and IL-6 concentrations were significantly negatively correlated (p = 0.021 and p < 0.001, respectively) during the red-light exposure. In the blue-light condition, cortisol sensitivity was significantly negatively correlated with IL-6 sensitivity (p = 0.034). Overall, blue light seemed to have exerted a greater influence on cortisol and IL-6. For cortisol, this effect might be moderated by chronotype. Additionally, cortisol and IL-6 seem to interact under light exposure. However, these effects were mixed and could not be found consistently across mean secretion, AUCg and AUCi.

Molecular circadian clock disruption in the leukocytes of individuals with type 2 diabetes and overweight, and its relationship with leukocyte-endothelial interactions. Diabetologia 2024; 67:2316-2328. [PMID: 38981930 PMCID: PMC11446997 DOI: 10.1007/s00125-024-06219-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2023] [Accepted: 05/22/2024] [Indexed: 07/11/2024]
Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Alterations in circadian rhythms increase the likelihood of developing type 2 diabetes and CVD. Circadian rhythms are controlled by several core clock genes, which are expressed in nearly every cell, including immune cells. Immune cells are key players in the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes, and participate in the atherosclerotic process that underlies cardiovascular risk in these patients. The role of the core clock in the leukocytes of people with type 2 diabetes and the inflammatory process associated with it are unknown. We aimed to evaluate whether the molecular clock system is impaired in the leukocytes of type 2 diabetes patients and to explore the mechanism by which this alteration leads to an increased cardiovascular risk in this population. METHODS This is an observational cross-sectional study performed in 25 participants with type 2 diabetes and 28 healthy control participants. Clinical and biochemical parameters were obtained. Peripheral blood leukocytes were isolated using magnetic bead technology. RNA and protein lysates were obtained to assess clock-related gene transcript and protein levels using real-time PCR and western blot, respectively. Luminex XMAP technology was used to assess levels of inflammatory markers. Leukocyte-endothelial interaction assays were performed by perfusing participants' leukocytes or THP-1 cells (with/without CLK8) over a HUVEC monolayer in a parallel flow chamber using a dynamic adhesion system. RESULTS Participants with type 2 diabetes showed increased BMAL1 and NR1D1 mRNA levels and decreased protein levels of circadian locomotor output cycles kaput (CLOCK), cryptochrome 1 (CRY1), phosphorylated basic helix-loop-helix ARNT like 1 (p-BMAL1) and period circadian protein homologue 2 (PER2). Correlation studies revealed that these alterations in clock proteins were negatively associated with glucose, HbA1c, insulin and HOMA-IR levels and leukocyte cell counts. The leukocyte rolling velocity was reduced and rolling flux and adhesion were enhanced in individuals with type 2 diabetes compared with healthy participants. Interestingly, inhibition of CLOCK/BMAL1 activity in leukocytes using the CLOCK inhibitor CLK8 mimicked the effects of type 2 diabetes on leukocyte-endothelial interactions. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION Our study demonstrates alterations in the molecular clock system in leukocytes of individuals with type 2 diabetes, manifested in increased mRNA levels and decreased protein levels of the core clock machinery. These alterations correlated with the impaired metabolic and proinflammatory profile of the participants with type 2 diabetes. Our findings support a causal role for decreased CLOCK/BMAL1 activity in the increased level of leukocyte-endothelial interactions. Overall, our data suggest that alterations in core clock proteins accelerate the inflammatory process, which may ultimately precipitate the onset of CVD in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Exposure to ambient air pollutants during circadian syndrome and subsequent cardiovascular disease and its subtypes and death: A trajectory analysis. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 944:173777. [PMID: 38844213 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.173777] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2023] [Revised: 05/09/2024] [Accepted: 06/03/2024] [Indexed: 06/17/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The association between exposure to air pollutants and cardiovascular disease (CVD) trajectory in individuals with circadian syndrome remains inconclusive. METHODS The individual exposure levels of air pollutants, including particulate matter (PM) with aerodynamic diameter ≤ 2.5 μm (PM2.5), PM with aerodynamic diameter ≤ 10 μm (PM10), PM2.5 absorbance, PM with aerodynamic diameter between 2.5 μm and 10 μm, nitrogen dioxide (NO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and air pollution score (overall air pollutants exposure), were estimated for 48,850 participants with circadian syndrome from the UK Biobank. Multistate regression models were employed to estimate associations between exposure to air pollutants and trajectories from circadian syndrome to CVD/CVD subtypes (including coronary heart disease [CHD], atrial fibrillation [AF], heart failure [HF], and stroke) and death. Mediation roles of CVD/CVD subtypes in the associations between air pollutants and death were evaluated. RESULTS After a mean follow-up time over 12 years, 12,570 cases of CVD occurred, including 8192 CHD, 1693 AF, 1085 HF, and 1600 stroke cases. In multistate model, per-interquartile range increment in PM2.5 (hazard ratio: 1.08; 95 % confidence interval: 1.06, 1.10), PM10 (1.04; 1.01, 1.06), PM2.5 absorbance (1.04; 1.02, 1.06), NO2 (1.07; 1.03, 1.11), NOx (1.08; 1.04, 1.12), or air pollution score (1.06; 1.03, 1.08) was associated with trajectory from circadian syndrome to CVD. Significant associations between the above-mentioned air pollutants and trajectories from circadian syndrome and CVD to death were observed. CVD, particularly CHD, significantly mediated the associations of PM2.5, NO2, NOx, and air pollution score with death. CONCLUSIONS Long-term exposure to air pollutants during circadian syndrome was associated with subsequent CVD and death. CHD emerged as the most prominent CVD subtype in CVD progression driven by exposure to air pollutants during circadian syndrome. Our study highlights the importance of controlling air pollutants exposure and preventing CHD in people with circadian syndrome.

Abstract
Analysis of the white blood cell differential as part of a flow cytometry-based approach is a common routine diagnostic tool used in clinics and research. For human blood, the methodological approach, suitable markers, and gating strategies are well-established. However, there is a lack of information regarding the mouse blood count. In this article, we deliver a fast and easy protocol for reprocessing mouse blood for the purpose of flow cytometric analysis, as well as suitable markers and gating strategies. We also present two possible applications: for the analysis of the whole blood count, with blood from a cardiac puncture, and for the analysis of a certain leukocyte subset at multiple time points in the framework of a mouse experiment, using blood from the facial vein. Additionally, we provide orientation values by applying the method to 3-month-old and 24-month-old male and female C57BL/6J mice. Our analyses demonstrate differences in the leukocyte fractions depending on age and sex. We discuss the influencing factors and limitations that can affect the results and that, therefore, need to be considered when applying this method. The present study fills the gap in the knowledge related to the rare information on flow cytometric analysis of mouse blood and, thus, lays the foundation for further investigations in this area.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Physical activity reduces colorectal cancer risk, yet the diurnal timing of physical activity in colorectal cancer etiology remains unclear. METHODS This study used 24-h accelerometry time series from UK Biobank participants aged 42 to 79 years to derive circadian physical activity patterns using functional principal component analysis. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard models were used to examine associations with colorectal cancer risk. RESULTS Among 86,252 participants (56% women), 529 colorectal cancer cases occurred during a median 5.3-year follow-up. We identified four physical activity patterns that explained almost 100% of the data variability during the day. A pattern of continuous day-long activity was inversely associated with colorectal cancer risk (hazard ratio (HR) = 0.94, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.89-0.99). A second pattern of late-day activity was suggestively inversely related to risk (HR = 0.93, 95% CI = 0.85-1.02). A third pattern of early- plus late-day activity was associated with decreased risk (HR = 0.89, 95% CI = 0.80-0.99). A fourth pattern of mid-day plus night-time activity showed no relation (HR = 1.02, 95% CI = 0.88-1.19). Our results were consistent across various sensitivity analyses, including the restriction to never smokers, the exclusion of the first 2 years of follow-up, and the adjustment for shift work. CONCLUSIONS A pattern of early- plus late-day activity is related to reduced colorectal cancer risk, beyond the benefits of overall activity. Further research is needed to confirm the role of activity timing in colorectal cancer prevention.

Heliyon 2024; 10:e37088. [PMID: 39296207 PMCID: PMC11407985 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e37088] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2023] [Revised: 08/26/2024] [Accepted: 08/27/2024] [Indexed: 09/21/2024] Open
Abstract
Background One of the most prevalent causes of death in sepsis is sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy (SICM). Circadian disruption is involved in the progress of sepsis. However, the molecular mechanism remains unclear. Methods Here, we built LPS-induced SICM in-vivo and in-vitro models. LPS was administrated at the particular Zeitgeber times (ZT), ZT4-ZT10-ZT16-ZT22 and ZT10-ZT22 in vivo and vitro experiments, respectively. Results In vivo experiment, injection of LPS at ZT10 induced higher infiltration of inflammatory cells and content of intracellular Fe2+, and lower level of Glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) and cardiac function than other ZTs (P < 0.05), which indicated that myocardial ferroptosis in septic rat presented a time of day-dependent manner. Bmal-1 protein and mRNA levels of injection of LPS at ZT10 were lower than those at other three ZTs (P < 0.05). The ratios of pAKT/AKT at ZT4 and ZT10 LPS injection were lower than those at ZT16 and ZT22 (P < 0.05). Nrf2 protein levels at ZT10 LPS injection were lower than those at other three ZTs (P < 0.05). These results indicated that the circadian of Bmal-1 and its downstream AKT/Nrf2 pathway in rat heart were inhibited under SICM condition. Consistent with in-vivo experiment, we found LPS could significantly reduce the expressions of Bmal-1 protein and mRNA in H9c2 cell. Up-regulation of Bmal-1 could reduce the cell death, oxidative stress, ferroptosis and activation of AKT/Nrf2 pathway at both ZT10 and ZT22 LPS administration. Conversely, its down-regulation presented opposite effects. AKT siRNA could weaken the effect of Bmal-1 pcDNA. Conclusion Ferroptosis presented the time of day-dependent manners via Bmal-1/AKT/Nrf2 in vivo and vitro models of SICM.

Vascul Pharmacol 2024; 156:107396. [PMID: 38897556 DOI: 10.1016/j.vph.2024.107396] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2024] [Revised: 06/10/2024] [Accepted: 06/16/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024]
Abstract
AIMS Neutrophils perform various functions in a circadian-dependent manner; therefore, we investigated here whether the effect of alpha1-antitrypsin (AAT), used as augmentation therapy, is dependent on the neutrophil circadian clock. AAT is a vital regulator of neutrophil functions, and its qualitative and/or quantitative defects have significant implications for the development of respiratory diseases. METHODS Whole blood from 12 healthy women age years, mean (SD) 29.92 (5.48) was collected twice daily, 8 h apart, and incubated for 30 min at 37 °C alone or with additions of 2 mg/ml AAT (Respreeza) and/or 5 μg/ml lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from Escherichia coli. Neutrophils were then isolated to examine gene expression, migration and phagocytosis. RESULTS The expression of CD14, CD16, CXCR2 and SELL (encoding CD62L) genes was significantly higher while CDKN1A lower in the afternoon than in the morning neutrophils from untreated blood. Neutrophils isolated in the afternoon had higher migratory and phagocytic activity. Morning neutrophils isolated from AAT-pretreated blood showed higher expression of CXCR2 and SELL than those from untreated morning blood. Pretreatment of blood with AAT enhanced migratory properties of morning but not afternoon neutrophils. Of all genes analysed, only CXCL8 expression was strongly upregulated in morning and afternoon neutrophils isolated from LPS-pretreated blood, whereas CXCR2 expression was downregulated in afternoon neutrophils. The addition of AAT did not reverse the effects of LPS. SIGNIFICANCE The circadian clock of myeloid cells may affect the effectiveness of various therapies, including AAT therapy used to treat patients with AAT deficiency, and needs further investigation.

Abstract
Modulating the inflammatory microenvironment to reconstruct the fibrocartilaginous layer while promoting tendon repair is crucial for enhancing tendon-to-bone healing in rotator cuff repair (RCR), a persistent challenge in orthopedics. Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) hold significant potential to modulate inflammation, yet the efficient production of highly bioactive sEVs remains a substantial barrier to their clinical application. Moreover, achieving minimally invasive local delivery of sEVs to the tendon-to-bone interface presents significant technical difficulties. Herein, the circadian rhythm of adipose-derived stem cells is modulated to increase the yield and enhance the inflammatory regulatory capacity of sEVs. Circadian rhythm-regulated sEVs (CR-sEVs) enhance the cyclic adenosine monophosphate signaling pathway in macrophage (Mφ) via platelet factor 4 delivery, thereby inhibiting Mφ M1 polarization. Subsequently, a triphasic microneedle (MN) scaffold with a tip, stem, and base is designed for the local delivery of CR-sEVs (CR-sEVs/MN) at the tendon-to-bone junction, incorporating tendon-derived decellularized extracellular matrix in the base to facilitate tendon repair. CR-sEVs/MN mitigates inflammation, promotes fibrocartilage regeneration, and enhances tendon healing, thereby improving biomechanical strength and shoulder joint function in a rat RCR model. Combining CR-sEVs with this triphasic microneedle delivery system presents a promising strategy for enhancing tendon-to-bone healing in clinical settings.

Abstract
The circadian clock, a fundamental biological regulator, governs essential cellular processes in health and disease. Circadian-based therapeutic strategies are increasingly gaining recognition as promising avenues. Aligning drug administration with the circadian rhythm can enhance treatment efficacy and minimize side effects. Yet, uncovering the optimal treatment timings remains challenging, limiting their widespread adoption. In this work, we introduce a high-throughput approach integrating live-imaging and data analysis techniques to deep-phenotype cancer cell models, evaluating their circadian rhythms, growth, and drug responses. We devise a streamlined process for profiling drug sensitivities across different times of the day, identifying optimal treatment windows and responsive cell types and drug combinations. Finally, we implement multiple computational tools to uncover cellular and genetic factors shaping time-of-day drug sensitivity. Our versatile approach is adaptable to various biological models, facilitating its broad application and relevance. Ultimately, this research leverages circadian rhythms to optimize anti-cancer drug treatments, promising improved outcomes and transformative treatment strategies.

ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2024; 281:116590. [PMID: 38905938 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2024.116590] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2024] [Revised: 06/08/2024] [Accepted: 06/10/2024] [Indexed: 06/23/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Exposure to light at night (LAN) has been associated with multiple adverse health outcomes. However, evidence is limited regarding the impacts of LAN exposure on human inflammation. OBJECTIVES To examine the association between real-ambient bedroom LAN exposure with systemic inflammation and circadian rhythm of inflammatory markers. METHODS Using data from a prospective cohort study of Chinese young adults. At baseline, bedroom LAN exposure was measured with a portable illuminance meter; fasting blood sample for high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) assay was collected. At 3-year follow-up, 20 healthy young adults (10 LANavg < 5 lx, 10 LANavg ≥ 5 lx) were recruited from the same cohort; time-series venous blood samples were sampled every 4 h over a 24 h-cycle for the detection of 8 inflammatory markers. Circadian rhythm of inflammatory markers was assessed using cosinor analysis. RESULTS At baseline, the average age of the 276 participants was 18.7 years, and 33.3 % were male. Higher levels of bedroom LAN exposure were significantly associated with increased hs-CRP levels. The association between bedroom LAN exposure and systemic inflammation was only significant in the inactive group (MVPA < 2 h/d) but not in the physically active group (MVPA ≥ 2 h/d). In addition, exposure to higher levels of nighttime light (LANavg ≥ 5 lx) disrupted circadian rhythms (including rhythmic expression, circadian amplitude and circadian phase) of some inflammatory cytokines and inflammatory balance indicators. CONCLUSION Exposure to bedroom nighttime light increases systemic inflammation and disrupts circadian rhythm of inflammatory markers. Keep bedroom darkness at night may represent important strategies for the prevention of chronic inflammation. Additionally, for people living a community with higher nighttime light pollution, regular physical activity may be a viable option to counteract the negative impacts of LAN exposure on chronic inflammation.

Abstract
Although growing evidence suggests close correlations between Alzheimer's disease (AD) and circadian rhythm disruption (CRD), few studies have focused on the influence of circadian rhythm on levels of immune cells in AD. We aimed to delineate the mechanism underlying the effects of circadian related genes on T cell immune function in AD. A total of 112 brain samples were used to construct the CRD-related model by performing weighted gene co-expression network analysis and machine learning algorithms (LASSO, SVM-RFE, and RF). The ssGSEA method was used to calculate the CRDscore in order to quantify CRD status. Using single-cell transcriptome data of CSF cells, we investigated the CD4+ T cell metabolism and cell-cell communication in high- and low-risk CRD groups. Connectivity map (CMap) was applied to explore small molecule drugs targeting CRD, and the expression of the signature gene GPR4 was further validated in AD. The CRDscore algorithm, which is based on 23 circadian-related genes, can effectively classify the CRD status in AD datasets. The single-cell analysis revealed that the CD4+ T cells with high CRDscore were characterized by hypometabolism. Cell communication analysis revealed that CD4+ T cells might be involved in promoting CD8+ T cell adhesion under CRD, which may facilitate T cell infiltration into the brain parenchyma. Overall, this study indicates the potential connotation of circadian rhythm in AD, providing insights into understanding T cell metabolic reprogramming under CRD.

Abstract
N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant epitranscriptomic mark that regulates the fate of RNA molecules. Recent studies have revealed a bidirectional interaction between m6A modification and the circadian clock. However, the precise temporal dynamics of m6A global enrichment in the central circadian pacemaker have not been fully elucidated. Our study investigates the relationship between FTO demethylase and molecular clocks in primary cells of the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN). In addition, we examined the effects of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on Fto expression and the role of FTO in LPS-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in primary SCN cell culture. We observed circadian rhythmicity in the global m6A levels, which mirrored the rhythmic expression of the Fto demethylase. Silencing FTO using siRNA reduced the mesor of Per2 rhythmicity in SCN primary cells and extended the period of the PER2 rhythm in SCN primary cell cultures from PER2::LUC mice. When examining the immune response, we discovered that exposure to LPS upregulated global m6A levels while downregulating Fto expression in SCN primary cell cultures. Interestingly, we found a loss of circadian rhythmicity in Fto expression following LPS treatment, indicating that the decrease of FTO levels may contribute to m6A upregulation without directly regulating its circadian rhythm. To explore potential protective mechanisms against neurotoxic inflammation, we examined ROS production following LPS treatment in SCN primary cell cultures pretreated with FTO siRNA. We observed a time-dependent pattern of ROS induction, with significant peak at 32 h but not at 20 h after synchronization. Silencing the FTO demethylase abolished ROS induction following LPS exposure, supporting the hypothesis that FTO downregulation serves as a protective mechanism during LPS-induced neuroinflammation in SCN primary cell cultures.

Background Alterations gastrointestinal diseases (GDs) were reported in individuals with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), however, the genetic background between OSA and GDs is still unclear. Methods This investigation employed Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses to evaluate the causal effect between OSA and 19 types of GDs (gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), ulcerative colitis, celiac disease, Crohn's disease, chronic gastritis, irritable bowel syndrome, primary biliary cholangitis, diverticular disease, gastroduodenal ulcer, acute pancreatitis, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, primary sclerosing cholangitis, cirrhosis, calculus of bile duct, calculus of gallbladder, pancreatic cancer, gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, and esophageal cancer). The inverse-variance weighted (IVW) method was used to evaluate the main effects model of causality. Results This MR study suggests that OSA may play a causal role inflammation-related GDs (GERD, PIVW=5.94×10-9; gastroduodenal ulcer, PIVW=1×10-4; chronic gastritis, PIVW=0.0214; ulcerative colitis, PIVW=0.0296), and gallstones (calculi of the gallbladder, PIVW=0.0429; calculi of the bile duct, PIVW=0.0068). After accounting for obesity, type 2 diabetes, smoking, and alcohol consumption, the multivariate MR (MVMR) analysis identified that OSA is an independent risk factor for GERD, gastroduodenal ulcer, and calculus of the bile duct. The reverse MVMR analysis showed a causal effect of GERD on OSA. Besides, we did not find that the predisposition to OSA was associated with 4 cancers. Conclusion This MR analysis provides compelling evidence of an independent causal relationship between genetically predicted OSA and an elevated risk of inflammation-related GDs. Besides, no causal association was observed between OSA and cancers. Further studies should be carried out to verify our findings.

Abstract
The circadian clock is an important regulator of human homeostasis. Circadian rhythms are closely related to cell fate because they are necessary for regulating the cell cycle, cellular proliferation, and apoptosis. Clock dysfunction can result in the development of diseases such as cancer. Although certain tumors have been shown to have a malfunctioning clock, which may affect prognosis or treatment, this has been postulated but not proven in many types of cancer. Recently, important information has emerged about the basic characteristics that underpin the overt circadian rhythm and its influence on physiological outputs. This information implies that the circadian rhythm may be managed by using particular small molecules. Small-molecule clock modulators target clock components or different physiological pathways that influence the clock. Identifying new small-molecule modulators will improve our understanding of critical regulatory nodes in the circadian network and cancer. Pharmacological manipulation of the clock may be valuable for treating cancer. The discoveries of small-molecule clock modulators and their possible application in cancer treatment are examined in this review.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to investigate circadian rhythms in independently living adults with obesity and mental disease, exploring the interplay between biological markers and lifestyle factors. Eighty participants divided equally into four groups; (i) people with obesity and schizophrenia; (ii) people with obesity and bipolar disorder; (iii) people with obesity without mental disease or sleep disorders, and (iv) people without obesity, mental disease or sleep disorders. Over two consecutive days, participants engage in repeated self-sampling of hair follicle and saliva; concurrently, data is collected on diet, body temperature, light exposure, sleep parameters, and physical activity by accelerometry. Hair follicles are analyzed for circadian gene expression, saliva samples for cortisol and melatonin concentrations. Circadian rhythms are investigated by cosinor analysis. The study employs a participant-tailored sampling schedule to minimize disruptions to daily routine and enhance ecological validity. The methodology aims to provide a comprehensive insight into the factors contributing to circadian disruptions in people with obesity, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, potentially informing strategies for future management and mitigation.

Abstract
Circadian rhythms are a ubiquitous feature throughout the organism. Accumulating evidence suggests that the dysfunction of circadian rhythms due to genetic mutations or environmental factors contributes to the genesis and progress of multiple diseases. The physiological homeostasis of the ocular surface, like any other tissue or organ, is also orchestrated by circadian rhythms. In this review, we summarize the molecular clocks and the expression of clock-controlled genes in the mammalian ocular surface. Based on the circadian expression of these genes, we conclude the diurnal oscillations of cellular biological activities in the mammalian ocular surface. Moreover, we evaluate the factors entraining circadian oscillators in the ocular surface. Finally, we further discuss the latest development of the close correlation between circadian rhythms and ocular health. Briefly, this review aimed to synthesize the previous studies to aid in understanding the importance of circadian rhythms in the ocular surface and the possible opportunities for circadian rhythm-based interventional strategies to restore the homeostasis of the ocular surface.

Abstract
In recent years, the abalone aquaculture industry has been threatened by the bacterial pathogens. The immune responses mechanisms underlying the phagocytosis of haemocytes remain unclear in Haliotis discus hannai. It is necessary to investigate the immune mechanism in response to these bacterial pathogens challenges. In this study, the phagocytic activities of haemocytes in H. discus hannai were examined by flow cytometry combined with electron microscopy and transcriptomic analyses. The results of Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Vibrio alginolyticus and Staphylococcus aureu challenge using electron microscopy showed a process during phagosome formation in haemocytes. The phagocytic rate (PP) of S. aureus was higher than the other five foreign particles, which was about 63%. The PP of Vibrio harveyi was about 43%, the PP peak of V. alginolyticus in haemocyte was 63.7% at 1.5 h. After V. parahaemolyticus and V. alginolyticus challenge, acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase, total superoxide dismutase, lysozyme, total antioxidant capacity, catalase, nitric oxide synthase and glutathione peroxidase activities in haemocytes were measured at different times, differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified by quantitative transcriptomic analysis. The identified DEGs after V. parahaemolyticus challenge included haemagglutinin/amebocyte aggregation factor-like, supervillin-like isoform X4, calmodulin-like and kyphoscoliosis peptidase-like; the identified DEGs after V. alginolyticus challenge included interleukin-6 receptor subunit beta-like, protein turtle homolog B-like, rho GTPase-activating protein 6-like isoform X2, leukocyte surface antigen CD53-like, calponin-1-like, calmodulin-like, troponin C, troponin I-like isoform X4, troponin T-like isoform X18, tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 10-like, rho-related protein racA-like and haemagglutinin/amebocyte aggregation factor-like. Some immune-related KEGG pathways were significantly up-regulated or down-regulated after challenge, including thyroid hormone synthesis, Th17 cell differentiation signalling pathway, focal adhesion, melanogenesis, leukocyte transendothelial migration, inflammatory mediator regulation of TRP channels, ras signalling pathway, rap1 signalling pathway. This study is the first step towards understanding the H. discus hannai immune system by adapting several tools to gastropods and providing a first detailed morpho-functional study of their haemocytes.

Abstract
Circadian rhythms influence a range of biological processes within the body, with the central clock or suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) in the brain synchronising peripheral clocks around the body. These clocks are regulated by external cues, the most influential being the light/dark cycle, in order to synchronise with the external day. Chrono-tailored or circadian drug delivery systems (DDS) aim to optimise drug delivery by releasing drugs at specific times of day to align with circadian rhythms within the body. Although this approach is still relatively new, it has the potential to enhance drug efficacy, minimise side effects, and improve patient compliance. Chrono-tailored DDS have been explored and implemented in various conditions, including asthma, hypertension, and cancer. This review aims to introduce the biology of circadian rhythms and provide an overview of the current research on chrono-tailored DDS, with a particular focus on immunological applications and vaccination. Finally, we draw on some of the key challenges which need to be overcome for chrono-tailored DDS before they can be translated to more widespread use in clinical practice.

Abstract
Recognizing the pivotal role of circadian rhythm in the human aging process and its scalability through wearables, we introduce CosinorAge, a digital biomarker of aging developed from wearable-derived circadian rhythmicity from 80,000 midlife and older adults in the UK and US. A one-year increase in CosinorAge corresponded to 8-12% higher all-cause and cause-specific mortality risks and 3-14% increased prospective incidences of age-related diseases. CosinorAge also captured a non-linear decline in resilience and physical functioning, evidenced by an 8-33% reduction in self-rated health and a 3-23% decline in health-related quality of life score, adjusting for covariates and multiple testing. The associations were robust in sensitivity analyses and external validation using an independent cohort from a disparate geographical region using a different wearable device. Moreover, we illustrated a heterogeneous impact of circadian parameters associated with biological aging, with young (<45 years) and fast agers experiencing a substantially delayed acrophase with a 25-minute difference in peak timing compared to slow agers, diminishing to a 7-minute difference in older adults (>65 years). We demonstrated a significant enhancement in the predictive performance when integrating circadian rhythmicity in the estimation of biological aging over physical activity. Our findings underscore CosinorAge's potential as a scalable, economic, and digital solution for promoting healthy longevity, elucidating the critical and multifaceted circadian rhythmicity in aging processes. Consequently, our research contributes to advancing preventive measures in digital medicine.

Abstract
Circadian biology's impact on human physical health and its role in disease development and progression is widely recognized. The forefront of circadian rhythm research now focuses on translational applications to clinical medicine, aiming to enhance disease diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment responses. However, the field of circadian medicine has predominantly concentrated on human healthcare, neglecting its potential for transformative applications in veterinary medicine, thereby overlooking opportunities to improve non-human animal health and welfare. This review consists of three main sections. The first section focuses on the translational potential of circadian medicine into current industry practices of agricultural animals, with a particular emphasis on horses, broiler chickens, and laying hens. The second section delves into the potential applications of circadian medicine in small animal veterinary care, primarily focusing on our companion animals, namely dogs and cats. The final section explores emerging frontiers in circadian medicine, encompassing aquaculture, veterinary hospital care, and non-human animal welfare and concludes with the integration of One Health principles. In summary, circadian medicine represents a highly promising field of medicine that holds the potential to significantly enhance the clinical care and overall health of all animals, extending its impact beyond human healthcare.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Evidence suggests that variation in light exposure strongly influences the dynamic of inflammation, coagulation, and the immune system. Multiple injuries induce systemic inflammation that can lead to end-organ injury. Here, we hypothesize that alterations in light exposure influence posttrauma inflammation, coagulopathy, and end-organ injury. METHODS C57BL/6 mice underwent a validated multiple-injury and hemorrhage model performed following 72 hours of exposure to red (617 nm, 1,700 lux), blue (321 nm, 1,700 lux), and fluorescent white light (300 lux) (n = 6-8/group). The animals were sacrificed at 6 hours posttrauma. Plasma samples were evaluated and compared for proinflammatory cytokine expression levels, coagulation parameters, markers of liver and renal injury, and histological changes (Carstairs staining). One-way analysis of variance statistical tests were applied to compare study groups. RESULTS Preexposure to long-wavelength red light significantly reduced the inflammatory response at 6 hours after multiple injuries compared with blue and ambient light, as evidenced by decreased levels of interleukin 6, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (both p < 0.001), liver injury markers (alanine transaminase, p < 0.05), and kidney injury markers (cystatin C, p < 0.01). In addition, Carstairs staining of organ tissues revealed milder histological changes in the red light-exposed group, indicating reduced end-organ damage. Furthermore, prothrombin time was significantly lower ( p < 0.001), and fibrinogen levels were better maintained ( p < 0.01) in the red light-exposed mice compared with those exposed to blue and ambient light. CONCLUSION Prophylactic light exposure can be optimized to reduce systemic inflammation and coagulopathy and minimize acute organ injury following multiple injuries. Understanding the mechanisms by which light exposure attenuates inflammation may provide a novel strategy to reducing trauma-related morbidity.

Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) generate all blood cell lineages responsible for tissue oxygenation, life-long hematopoietic homeostasis and immune protection. In adulthood, HSCs primarily reside in the bone marrow (BM) microenvironment, consisting of diverse cell types that constitute the stem cell 'niche'. The adaptability of the hematopoietic system is required to respond to the needs of the host, whether to maintain normal physiology or during periods of physical, psychosocial or environmental stress. Hematopoietic homeostasis is achieved by intricate coordination of systemic and local factors that orchestrate the function of HSCs throughout life. However, homeostasis is not a static process; it modulates HSC and progenitor activity in response to circadian rhythms coordinated by the central and peripheral nervous systems, inflammatory cues, metabolites and pathologic conditions. Here, we review local and systemic factors that impact hematopoiesis, focusing on the implications of aging, stress and cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
Vascular inflammation and endothelial dysfunction contribute to vascular diseases. While neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) participate in some vascular pathologies, their roles in lower limb ischemia remain poorly defined. This study investigated the functional significance of NETs in vascular inflammation and remodeling associated with limb ischemia. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and flow cytometry revealed neutrophil activation and upregulated NETs formation in human limb ischemia, with immunofluorescence confirming IL-1β-induced release of NETs for vascular inflammation. Endothelial cell activation was examined via scRNA-seq and western blotting, indicating enhanced proliferation, expression of adhesion molecules (VCAM-1, ICAM-1), inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6) and decreased expression of VE-cadherin, that could be mediated by NETs to exacerbate endothelial inflammation. Mechanistically, NETs altered endothelial cell function via increased pSTAT1/STAT1 signaling. Vascular inflammation and subsequent ischemia were alleviated in vivo by NETosis or IL-1β inhibition in ischemic mice. IL-1β-NETs induce endothelial activation and inflammation in limb ischemia by stimulating STAT1 signaling. Targeting NETs may thus represent a novel therapeutic strategy for inflammatory vascular diseases associated with limb ischemia.

Cerebroprotective Effects of the TLR4-Binding DNA Aptamer ApTOLL in a Rat Model of Ischemic Stroke and Thrombectomy Recanalization. Pharmaceutics 2024; 16:741. [PMID: 38931862 PMCID: PMC11206667 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics16060741] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2024] [Revised: 05/22/2024] [Accepted: 05/28/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
ApTOLL, a TLR4 modulator aptamer, has demonstrated cerebroprotective effects in a permanent ischemic stroke mouse model, as well as safety and efficacy in early phase clinical trials. We carried out reverse translation research according to STAIR recommendations to further characterize the effects and mechanisms of ApTOLL after transient ischemic stroke in rats and to better inform the design of pivotal clinical trials. Adult male rats subjected to transient middle cerebral artery occlusion were treated either with ApTOLL or the vehicle intravenously at different doses and time-points. ApTOLL was compared with TAK-242 (a TLR4 inhibitor). Female rats were also studied. After neurofunctional evaluation, brains were removed for infarct/edema volume, hemorrhagic transformation, and histologic determinations. Peripheral leukocyte populations were assessed via flow cytometry. ApTOLL showed U-shaped dose-dependent cerebroprotective effects. The maximum effective dose (0.45 mg/kg) was cerebroprotective when given both before reperfusion and up to 12 h after reperfusion and reduced the hemorrhagic risk. Similar effects occurred in female rats. Both research and clinical ApTOLL batches induced slightly superior cerebroprotection when compared with TAK-242. Finally, ApTOLL modulated circulating leukocyte levels, reached the brain ischemic tissue to bind resident and infiltrated cell types, and reduced the neutrophil density. These results show the cerebroprotective effects of ApTOLL in ischemic stroke by reducing the infarct/edema volume, neurofunctional impairment, and hemorrhagic risk, as well as the peripheral and local immune response. They provide information about ApTOLL dose effects and its therapeutic time window and target population, as well as its mode of action, which should be considered in the design of pivotal clinical trials.

Abstract
Introduction Macrophage dysfunction is a common feature of inflammatory disorders such as asthma, which is characterized by a strong circadian rhythm. Methods and results We monitored the protein expression pattern of the molecular circadian clock in human peripheral blood monocytes from healthy, allergic, and asthmatic donors during a whole day. Monocytes cultured of these donors allowed us to examine circadian protein expression in human monocyte-derived macrophages, M1- and M2- polarized macrophages. In monocytes, particularly from allergic asthmatics, the oscillating expression of circadian proteins CLOCK, BMAL, REV ERBs, and RORs was significantly altered. Similar changes in BMAL1 were observed in polarized macrophages from allergic donors and in tissue-resident macrophages from activated precision cut lung slices. We confirmed clock modulating, anti-inflammatory, and lung-protective properties of the inverse ROR agonist SR1001 by reduced secretion of macrophage inflammatory protein and increase in phagocytosis. Using a house dust mite model, we verified the therapeutic effect of SR1001 in vivo. Discussion Overall, our data suggest an interaction between the molecular circadian clock and monocytes/macrophages effector function in inflammatory lung diseases. The use of SR1001 leads to inflammatory resolution in vitro and in vivo and represents a promising clock-based therapeutic approach for chronic pulmonary diseases such as asthma.

Abstract
Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs), strategically positioned throughout the body, undergo population declines over time. A solution to counteract this problem is timely mobilization of multipotential progenitors from the bone marrow. It remains unknown what triggers the mobilization of bone marrow ILC progenitors (ILCPs). We report that ILCPs are regulated by the circadian clock to emigrate and generate mature ILCs in the periphery. We found that circadian-clock-defective ILCPs fail to normally emigrate and generate ILCs. We identified circadian-clock-controlled endocrine and cytokine cues that, respectively, regulate the retention and emigration of ILCPs at distinct times of each day. Activation of the stress-hormone-sensing glucocorticoid receptor upregulates CXCR4 on ILCPs for their retention in the bone marrow, while the interleukin-18 (IL-18) and RORα signals upregulate S1PR1 on ILCPs for their mobilization to the periphery. Our findings establish important roles of circadian signals for the homeostatic efflux of bone marrow ILCPs.

Abstract
Immune cell migration is required for the development of an effective and robust immune response. This elegant process is regulated by both cellular and environmental factors, with variables such as immune cell state, anatomical location, and disease state that govern differences in migration patterns. In all cases, a major factor is the expression of cell surface receptors and their cognate ligands. Rapid adaptation to environmental conditions partly depends on intrinsic cellular immune factors that affect a cell's ability to adjust to new environment. In this review, we discuss both myeloid and lymphoid cells and outline key determinants that govern immune cell migration, including molecules required for immune cell adhesion, modes of migration, chemotaxis, and specific chemokine signaling. Furthermore, we summarize tumor-specific elements that contribute to immune cell trafficking to cancer, while also exploring microenvironment factors that can alter these cellular dynamics within the tumor in both a pro and antitumor fashion. Specifically, we highlight the importance of the secretome in these later aspects. This review considers a myriad of factors that impact immune cell trajectory in cancer. We aim to highlight the immunotherapeutic targets that can be harnessed to achieve controlled immune trafficking to and within tumors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND B cells represent a crucial component of adaptive immunity that ensures long-term protection from infection by generating pathogen-specific immunoglobulins. Exercise alters B cell counts and immunoglobulin levels, but evidence-based conclusions on potential benefits for adaptive immunity are lacking. This systematic review assessed current literatures on the impact of acute exercise and exercise training on B cells, immunoglobulins, and markers of secretory immunity in human biofluids. METHODS According to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, MEDLINE, Web of Science, and Embase were searched on March 8, 2023. Non-randomized controlled trials and crossover trials investigating the impact of acute exercise or exercise training on B cell counts and proportions, immunoglobulin levels, salivary flow rate, or secretory immunoglobulin A secretion rate were included. Quality and reporting of exercise training studies were assessed using the Tool for the Assessment of Study Quality and reporting in Exercise. Study characteristics, outcome measures, and statistically significant changes were summarized tabularly. RESULTS Of the 67 eligible studies, 22 applied acute exercise and 45 applied exercise training. All included outcomes revealed significant alterations over time in acute exercise and exercise training context, but only a few investigations showed significant differences compared to control conditions. Secretory and plasma immunoglobulin A levels were most consistently increased in response to exercise training. CONCLUSION B cell-related outcomes are altered by acute exercise and exercise training, but evidence-based conclusions cannot be drawn with high confidence due to the large heterogeneity in populations and exercise modalities. Well-designed trials with large sample sizes are needed to clarify how exercise shapes B cell-related immunity.

Abstract
Non-typhoidal Salmonella infection is among the most frequent foodborne diseases threatening human health worldwide. The host circadian clock orchestrates daily rhythms to adapt to environmental changes, including coordinating immune function in response to potential infections. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the interplay between the circadian clock and the immune system in modulating infection processes are incompletely understood. Here, we demonstrate that NLRP6, a novel nucleotide-oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptor (NLR) family member highly expressed in the intestine, is closely associated with the differential day-night response to Salmonella infection. The core clock component REV-ERBα negatively regulates NLRP6 transcription, leading to the rhythmic expression of NLRP6 and the secretion of IL-18 in intestinal epithelial cells, playing a crucial role in mediating the differential day-night response to Salmonella infection. Activating REV-ERBα with agonist SR9009 in wild-type mice attenuated the severity of infection by decreasing the NLRP6 level in intestinal epithelial cells. Our findings provide new insights into the association between the host circadian clock and the immune response to enteric infections by revealing the regulation of Salmonella infection via the inhibitory effect of REV-ERBα on NLRP6 transcription. Targeting REV-ERBα to modulate NLRP6 activation may be a potential therapeutic strategy for bacterial infections.

Abstract
Circadian rhythms are present in almost all cells and play a crucial role in regulating various biological processes. Maintaining a stable circadian rhythm is essential for overall health. Disruption of this rhythm can alter the expression of clock genes and cancer-related genes, and affect many metabolic pathways and factors, thereby affecting the function of the immune system and contributing to the occurrence and progression of tumors. This paper aims to elucidate the regulatory effects of BMAL1, clock and other clock genes on immune cells, and reveal the molecular mechanism of circadian rhythm's involvement in tumor and its microenvironment regulation. A deeper understanding of circadian rhythms has the potential to provide new strategies for the treatment of cancer and other immune-related diseases.

Abstract
Circadian rhythms in metabolically active tissues are crucial for maintaining physical health. Circadian disturbance (CD) can cause various health issues, such as metabolic abnormalities and immune and cognitive dysfunctions. However, studies on the role of CD in immune cell development and differentiation, as well as the rhythmic expression of the core clock genes and their altered expression under CD, remain unclear. Therefore, we exposed C57bl/6j mice to repeated reversed light-dark cycles for 90 days to research the effects of CD on bone marrow (BM) hematopoietic function. We also researched the effects of CD on endogenous circadian rhythms, temporally dependent expression in peripheral blood and myeloid leukocytes, environmental homeostasis within BM, and circadian oscillations of hematopoietic-extrinsic cues. Our results confirmed that when the light and dark cycles around mice were frequently reversed, the circadian rhythmic expression of the two main circadian rhythm markers, the hypothalamic clock gene, and serum melatonin, was disturbed, indicating that the body was in a state of endogenous CD. Furthermore, CD altered the temporally dependent expression of peripheral blood and BM leukocytes and destroyed environmental homeostasis within the BM as well as circadian oscillations of hematopoietic-extrinsic cues, which may negatively affect BM hematopoiesis in mice. Collectively, these results demonstrate that circadian rhythms are vital for maintaining health and suggest that the association between CD and hematopoietic dysfunction warrants further investigation.

Abstract
Seasonal rhythms affect the immune system. Evidence supports the involvement of immuno-inflammatory mechanisms in bipolar disorder (BD), with the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and the systemic immune-inflammatory index (SII; platelets × neutrophils/lymphocytes) consistently reported to be higher in patients with BD than in HC, but seasonal rhythms of innate and adaptive immunity have never been studied. We retrospectively studied NLR and SII in 824 participants divided into three groups: 321 consecutively admitted inpatients affected by a major depressive episode in course of BD, and 255 consecutively admitted inpatients affected by obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD; positive psychiatric control), and 248 healthy controls (HC). Patients with BD showed markedly higher markers of systemic inflammation in autumn and winter, but not in spring and summer, in respect to both HC and patients with OCD, thus suggesting a specific effect of season on inflammatory markers in BD, independent of a shared hospital setting and drug treatment. Given that systemic inflammation is emerging as a new marker and as target for treatment in depressive disorders, we suggest that seasonal rhythms should be considered for tailoring antidepressant immuno-modulatory treatments in a precision medicine approach.

Abstract
Circadian rhythms are a ubiquitous feature in nearly all living organisms, representing oscillatory patterns with a 24-h cycle that are widespread across various physiological processes. Circadian rhythms regulate a multitude of physiological systems, including the immune system. At the molecular level, most immune cells autonomously express clock-regulating genes, which play critical roles in regulating immune cell functions. These functions encompass migration, phagocytic activity, immune cell metabolism (such as mitochondrial structural function and metabolism), signalling pathway activation, inflammatory responses, innate immune recognition, and adaptive immune processes (including vaccine responses and pathogen clearance). The endogenous circadian clock orchestrates multifaceted rhythmicity within the immune system, optimizing immune surveillance and responsiveness; this bears significant implications for maintaining immune homeostasis and resilience against diseases. This work provides an overview of circadian rhythm regulation within the immune system.

Eur J Investig Health Psychol Educ 2024; 14:856-869. [PMID: 38667810 PMCID: PMC11048860 DOI: 10.3390/ejihpe14040055] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2023] [Revised: 03/11/2024] [Accepted: 03/12/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Nocturnal smartphone use emits blue light, which can adversely affect sleep, leading to a variety of negative effects, particularly in children. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the effect of acute (AC) (one night) and repeated (RC) (five nights) nocturnal smartphone exposure on sleep, cortisol, and next-day performance in Tunisian children. Thirteen participants (seven girls and six boys, age 9 ± 0.6, height 1.32 ± 0.06, weight 34.47 ± 4.41) attended six experimental nights. The experiment started with a baseline night (BL) with no smartphone exposure, followed by repeated sessions of nocturnal smartphone exposure lasting 90 minutes (08:00 pm-09:30 pm). Actigraphy; salivary cortisol; the Stroop test (selective attention); choice reaction time (CRT); N-back (working memory); counter-movement jump (CMJ), composed of flight time (time spent in the CMJ flight phase) and jump height; and a 30 m sprint were assessed the morning after each condition. Both AC and RC shortened total sleep time (TST) (p < 0.01), with a greater decrease with RC (-46.7 min, ∆% = -9.46) than AC (-28.8 min, ∆% = -5.8) compared to BL. AC and RC significantly increased waking after sleep onset (3.5 min, ∆% = 15.05, to 9.9 min, ∆% = 43.11%) and number of errors made on the Stroop test (1.8 error, ∆% = 74.23, to 3.07 error, ∆% = 97.56%). Children made 0.15 and 0.8 more errors (∆% = 6.2 to 57.61%) and spent 46.9 s and 71.6 s more time on CRT tasks (∆% = 7.22 to 11.11%) with AC and RC, respectively, compared to BL. The high-interference index of the Stroop task, CMJ performance, and 30 m sprint speed were only altered (p < 0.01) following RC (0.36, Δ% = 41.52%; -34 s, Δ% = -9.29%, for flight time and -1.23 m, -8.72%, for jump height; 0.49 s, Δ% = 6.48, respectively) when compared to BL. In conclusion, one- or five-night exposure to smartphones disturbed the children's sleep quality and their performance, with more pronounced effects following RC.

Abstract
Hundreds of thousands of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) are collected from the ocular surface upon waking, while few are harvested during daytime. This study aimed to investigate potential factors contributing to the circadian infiltration of tear PMNs, including changes in IL-8 and C5a in tears, and their phenotypes across different time points in a 24-h cycle. Tear PMNs were collected using a gentle eyewash after 2-h and 7-h of sleep (eye closure, EC) at night, after 2-h EC during the day, and towards the end of the afternoon. Significantly fewer cells were collected after 2-h EC during the day compared to 2-h EC at night. A positive correlation between IL-8 and PMN numbers existed, but not with C5a. Tear PMNs collected after 2-h EC at night were less degranulated and possessed a larger activation potential compared to 7-h EC. Tear PMNs from 7-h EC at night exhibited hyper-segmented nuclei and more NETosis compared to 2 h EC night, indicating an aged and activated phenotype. The diurnal-nocturnal recruitment pattern of tear PMNs may be driven by increased IL-8 in nighttime tears. Higher degranulation and NETs point to the significant activation of tear PMNs on the ocular surface during prolonged eye closure at night.

Abstract
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are central mediators of cell signaling and physiological function. Despite their biological significance, GPCRs have not been widely studied in the field of toxicology. Herein, we investigated these receptors as novel targets of plastic chemicals using a high-throughput drug screening assay with 126 human non-olfactory GPCRs. In a first-pass screen, we tested the activity of triphenol phosphate, bisphenol A, and diethyl phthalate, as well as three real-world mixtures of chemicals extracted from plastic food packaging covering all major polymer types. We found 11 GPCR-chemical interactions, of which the chemical mixtures exhibited the most robust activity at adenosine receptor 1 (ADORA1) and melatonin receptor 1 (MTNR1A). We further confirm that polyvinyl chloride and polyurethane products contain ADORA1 or MTNRA1 agonists using a confirmatory secondary screen and pharmacological knockdown experiments. Finally, an analysis of the associated gene ontology terms suggests that ADORA1 and MTNR1A activation may be linked to downstream effects on circadian and metabolic processes. This work highlights that signaling disruption caused by plastic chemicals is broader than that previously believed and demonstrates the relevance of nongenomic pathways, which have, thus far, remained unexplored.

Abstract
Circadian rhythms exert a profound impact on most aspects of mammalian physiology, including the immune and cardiovascular systems. Leukocytes engage in time-of-day-dependent interactions with the vasculature, facilitating the emigration to and the immune surveillance of tissues. This review provides an overview of circadian control of immune-vascular interactions in both the steady state and cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis and infarction. Circadian rhythms impact both the immune and vascular facets of these interactions, primarily through the regulation of chemoattractant and adhesion molecules on immune and endothelial cells. Misaligned light conditions disrupt this rhythm, generally exacerbating atherosclerosis and infarction. In cardiovascular diseases, distinct circadian clock genes, while functioning as part of an integrated circadian system, can have proinflammatory or anti-inflammatory effects on these immune-vascular interactions. Here, we discuss the mechanisms and relevance of circadian rhythms in vascular immunopathologies.

Abstract
Mammalian physiology and cellular function are subject to significant oscillations over the course of every 24-hour day. It is likely that these daily rhythms will affect function as well as mechanisms of disease in the central nervous system. In this review, we attempt to survey and synthesize emerging studies that investigate how circadian biology may influence the neurovascular unit. We examine how circadian clocks may operate in neural, glial, and vascular compartments, review how circadian mechanisms regulate cell-cell signaling, assess interactions with aging and vascular comorbidities, and finally ask whether and how circadian effects and disruptions in rhythms may influence the risk and progression of pathophysiology in cerebrovascular disease. Overcoming identified challenges and leveraging opportunities for future research might support the development of novel circadian-based treatments for stroke.

Abstract
The brain is a complex organ, fundamentally changing across the day to perform basic functions like sleep, thought, and regulating whole-body physiology. This requires a complex symphony of nutrients, hormones, ions, neurotransmitters and more to be properly distributed across the brain to maintain homeostasis throughout 24 hours. These solutes are distributed both by the blood and by cerebrospinal fluid. Cerebrospinal fluid contents are distinct from the general circulation because of regulation at brain barriers including the choroid plexus, glymphatic system, and blood-brain barrier. In this review, we discuss the overlapping circadian (≈24-hour) rhythms in brain fluid biology and at the brain barriers. Our goal is for the reader to gain both a fundamental understanding of brain barriers alongside an understanding of the interactions between these fluids and the circadian timing system. Ultimately, this review will provide new insight into how alterations in these finely tuned clocks may lead to pathology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Physical activity (PA) is associated with mortality and cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, the effect of circadian PA trajectories remains ambiguous. This study aimed to explore ideal circadian PA patterns to reduce mortality and CVD, and potential mediators. METHODS 502,400 participants from UK Biobank were recruited between 2006 and 2010. Among them, 102,323 participants got valid continuously capturing acceleration data over 7 days by wrist-worn accelerometer. K-means cluster analysis was used to identify PA trajectories. The associations of PA with all-cause, cause-specific mortality and CVD were assessed by cox regression. A sensitivity test was also conducted, starting from the time of acceleration collection and excluding participants with corresponding disease prior to it. Furthermore, the mediation of aging and inflammation were explored. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 12.9 years, 3482 deaths were recorded (704 were due to CVD). Five distinct PA trajectories were identified: Persistently Low, Moderate and Stable, Single Increase, Double Increase, and Vigorous patterns. Ideal PA trajectory patterns offered progressively protective benefits against all-cause, CVD caused mortality and CVD, especially in Double Increase and Vigorous patterns. Other cause-specific mortality and renal failure incidence showed similar trend. The sensitivity result was consistent. The mediating effects of phenotypic age and inflammation markers were statistically significant. CONCLUSION Ideal PA trajectories offered protective benefits against all-cause, cause-specific mortality and CVD. The protection was associated with both intensity and circadian distribution. Double Increase and Vigorous activity patterns decreased these risks more significantly. Crucially, this protection was mediated by aging deceleration and inflammation regulation.

Abstract
Adaptive immune cells are regulated by circadian rhythms (CR) under both steady state conditions and during responses to infection. Cytolytic CD8 + T cells display variable responses to infection depending upon the time of day of exposure. However, the neuronal signals that entrain these cyclic behaviors remain unknown. Immune cells express a variety of neurotransmitter receptors including nicotinic, glucocorticoid, and adrenergic receptors. Here, we demonstrate that the β2-adrenergic receptor (ADRB2) regulates the periodic oscillation of select core clock genes, such as Per2 and Bmal1 , and selective loss of the Adrb2 gene dramatically perturbs the normal diurnal oscillation of clock gene expression in CD8 + T cells. Consequently, their circadian-regulated anti-viral response is dysregulated, and the diurnal development of CD8 + T cells into variegated populations of cytolytic T cell (CTL) effectors is dramatically altered in the absence of ADRB2 signaling. Thus, the Adrb2 directly entrains core clock gene oscillation and regulates CR-dependent T cell responses to virus infection as a function of time-of-day of pathogen exposure. One Sentence Summary The β2-adrenergic receptor regulates circadian gene oscillation and downstream daily timing of cytolytic T cell responses to virus infection.

Abstract
Circadian timekeeping mechanisms and cell cycle regulation share thematic biological principles in responding to signals, repairing cellular damage, coordinating metabolism, and allocating cellular resources for optimal function. Recent studies show interactions between cell cycle regulators and circadian clock components, offering insights into potential cancer treatment approaches. Understanding circadian control of metabolism informs timing for therapies to reduce adverse effects and enhance treatment efficacy. Circadian adaptability to lifestyle factors, such as activity, sleep, and nutrition sheds light on their impact on cancer. Leveraging circadian regulatory mechanisms for cancer prevention and care is vital, as most risk stems from modifiable lifestyles. Monitoring circadian factors aids risk assessment and targeted interventions across the cancer care continuum.

JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION FOR LABORATORY ANIMAL SCIENCE : JAALAS 2024; 63:116-147. [PMID: 38211974 PMCID: PMC11022951 DOI: 10.30802/aalas-jaalas-23-000089] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2023] [Revised: 10/26/2023] [Accepted: 10/28/2023] [Indexed: 01/13/2024]
Abstract
Light is an environmental factor that is extrinsic to animals themselves and that exerts a profound influence on the regulation of circadian, neurohormonal, metabolic, and neurobehavioral systems of all animals, including research animals. These widespread biologic effects of light are mediated by distinct photoreceptors-rods and cones that comprise the conventional visual system and melanopsin-containing intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) of the nonvisual system that interact with the rods and cones. The rods and cones of the visual system, along with the ipRGCs of the nonvisual system, are species distinct in terms of opsins and opsin concentrations and interact with one another to provide vision and regulate circadian rhythms of neurohormonal and neurobehavioral responses to light. Here, we review a brief history of lighting technologies, the nature of light and circadian rhythms, our present understanding of mammalian photoreception, and current industry practices and standards. We also consider the implications of light for vivarium measurement, production, and technological application and provide simple recommendations on artificial lighting for use by regulatory authorities, lighting manufacturers, designers, engineers, researchers, and research animal care staff that ensure best practices for optimizing animal health and well-being and, ultimately, improving scientific outcomes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The INflammation and Small Vessel Disease (INSVD) study aims to investigate whether peripheral inflammation, immune (dys)regulation and blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability relate to disease progression in cerebral small vessel disease (SVD). This research aims to pinpoint specific components of the immune response in SVD relating to disease progression. This could identify biomarkers of SVD progression, as well as potential therapeutic targets to inform the development and repurposing of drugs to reduce or prevent SVD, cognitive decline and vascular dementia. METHODS AND ANALYSIS INSVD is a prospective observational multicentre cohort study in individuals with symptomatic SVD. This longitudinal study combines comprehensive immunophenotyping of the peripheral blood immune compartment with advanced neuroimaging markers of SVD and BBB permeability. The main SVD marker of interest is white matter microstructure as determined by diffusion tensor imaging, a valuable marker of disease progression owing to its sensitivity to early alterations to white matter integrity. The research is being conducted in two sites-in the UK (Cambridge) and the Netherlands (Nijmegen)-with each site recruiting 100 participants (total n=200). Participants undergo clinical and cognitive assessments, blood draws, and brain MRI at baseline and 2-year follow-up. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION This study received ethical approval from the local ethics boards (UK: East of England-Cambridge Central Research Ethics Committee (REC) ref: 22/EE/00141, Integrated Research Application System (IRAS) ID: 312 747. Netherlands: Medical Research Ethics Committee (MREC) Oost-Nederland, ref: 2022-13623, NL-number: NL80258.091.22). Written informed consent was obtained from all subjects before the study. Any participant-derived benefits resulting from this research, such as new insights into disease mechanisms or possible novel therapies, will be disseminated to study participants, patient groups and members of the public. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT05746221.

Abstract
The chapter provides a comprehensive review of current approaches to personalized chronodiagnosis and chronotherapy. We discuss circadian clock drug targets that aim to affect cellular clock machinery, circadian mechanisms of pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics, and chronotherapeutic approaches aimed at increasing treatment efficacy and minimizing its side effects. We explore how chronotherapy can combat acquired and compensatory drug resistance. Non-pharmacological interventions for clock preservation and enhancement are also overviewed, including light treatment, melatonin, sleep scheduling, time-restricted feeding, physical activity, and exercise.

Metabolomics 2024; 20:23.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Animal welfare in aquaculture is becoming increasingly important, and detailed knowledge of the species concerned is essential for further optimization on farms. Every organism is controlled by an internal clock, the circadian rhythm, which is crucial for metabolic processes and is partially influenced by abiotic factors, making it important for aquaculture practices. OBJECTIVE In order to determine the circadian rhythm of adult turbot (Scophthalmus maximus), blood samples were collected over a 24-h period and plasma metabolite profiles were analyzed by 1H-NMR spectroscopy. METHODS The fish were habituated to feeding times at 9 am and 3 pm and with the NMR spectroscopy 46 metabolites could be identified, eight of which appeared to shift throughout the day. RESULTS We noted exceptionally high values around 3 pm for the amino acids isoleucine, leucine, valine, phenylalanine, lysine, and the stress indicator lactate. These metabolic peaks were interpreted as either habituation to the usual feeding time or as natural peak levels in turbot in a 24-h circle because other indicators for stress (glucose, cortisol and lysozymes) showed a stable baseline, indicating that the animals had no or very little stress during the experimental period. CONCLUSION This study provides initial insights into the diurnal variation of metabolites in adult turbot; however, further studies are needed to confirm present findings of possible fluctuations in amino acids and sugars. Implementing optimized feeding times (with high levels of sugars and low levels of stress metabolites) could lead to less stress, fewer disease outbreaks and overall improved fish welfare in aquaculture facilities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Circadian rhythm is crucial to the function of the immune system. Disorders of the circadian rhythm can contribute to inflammatory diseases such as Ulcerative colitis (UC). This Mendelian Randomization (MR) analysis applies genetic tools to represent the aggregated statistical results of exposure to circadian rhythm disorders and UC and its comorbidities, allowing for causal inferences. METHODS Summary statistics of protein, DNA methylation and gene expression quantitative trait loci in individuals of European ancestry (pQTL, mQTL, and eQTL, respectively) were used. Genetic variants located within or near 152 circadian clock-related genes and closely related to circadian rhythm disorders were selected as instrumental variables. Causal relationships with UC and its comorbidities were then estimated through employed Summary data-based Mendelian Randomization (SMR) and Inverse-Variance-Weighted MR (IVW-MR). RESULTS Through preliminary SMR analysis, we identified a potential causal relationship between circadian clock-related genes and UC along with its comorbidities, which was further confirmed by IVW-MR analysis. Our study identified strong evidence of positive correlation involving seven overlapping genes (CSNK1E, OPRL1, PIWIL2, RORC, MAX, PPP5C, and AANAT) through MWAS and TWAS in UC, four overlapping genes (OPRL1, CHRNB2, FBXL17, and SIRT1) in UC with PSC, and three overlapping genes (ARNTL, USP7, and KRAS) in UC with arthropathy. CONCLUSIONS This SMR study demonstrates the causal effect of circadian rhythm disorders in UC and its comorbidities. Furthermore, our investigation pinpointed candidate genes that could potentially serve as drug targets.

Association between circadian physical activity patterns and cancer incidence through regulation of inflammation: A UK biobank study. Prev Med 2024; 179:107831. [PMID: 38145876 DOI: 10.1016/j.ypmed.2023.107831] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/15/2023] [Revised: 12/19/2023] [Accepted: 12/20/2023] [Indexed: 12/27/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Physical activity (PA) has been linked with cancer incidence. However, the effects and mechanisms underpinning circadian PA trajectories on cancer remain elusive. This study aimed to explore the optimal PA patterns in reducing cancer incidence and the associated potential mediators. METHODS Between 2006 and 2010, 502,400 participants were recruited from the UK Biobank. Out of these, 102,323 participants wore accelerometers, which allowed for collecting acceleration data continuously over 7 days. After excluding participants with previous cancer history, 96,687 participants were included in K-means cluster analysis to identify PA trajectories. The association between PA and cancer incidence was assessed using Cox regression analysis. Additionally, we investigated the mediating role of inflammation. RESULTS A total of 5995 cancer cases were recorded during a median follow-up of 7.1 years. Four distinct PA trajectories (persistent low, single peak, double peak, and vigorous) were identified. The ideal PA patterns reduced the risk of 7 out of 17 site-specific cancers, with the lowest hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals of cancer for bladder (0.59, 0.40-0.86), breast (0.73, 0.60-0.89), kidney (0.45, 0.26-0.78), lung (0.59, 0.41-0.84), myeloma (0.49, 0.27-0.88), and oral & pharynx (0.51, 0.26-0.98) in the vigorous pattern and for colorectal (0.71, 0.54-0.93) in the double peak pattern. Moreover, the mediating effects of inflammation were significant. CONCLUSION Optimal PA trajectories reduced cancer incidence, especially in double peak and vigorous patterns. The protective effect was associated with both intensity and circadian rhythm. Crucially, this protection was mediated by inflammation regulation.
