Duraisamy SK, Sundar IK. REV-ERBα agonist SR10067 attenuates Th2 cytokine-mediated barrier dysfunction in human bronchial epithelial cells. Clin Sci (Lond) 2024; 138:1209-1226. [PMID: 39222031 DOI: 10.1042/cs20240064] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2024] [Revised: 08/19/2024] [Accepted: 09/02/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024]
Abstract
Allergens and Th2 cytokines affect the homeostatic environment in the airways, leading to increased mucus production by goblet cells associated with altered adherens junctional complex (AJC) and tight junction (TJ) proteins responsible for maintaining epithelial barrier function. Circadian clock-dependent regulatory mechanisms such as inflammation and epithelial barrier function are gaining more attention due to their therapeutic potential against allergic inflammatory lung diseases. Currently, there are no studies to support whether REV-ERBα activation can attenuate Th2 cytokine-induced epithelial barrier dysfunction in human bronchial epithelial cells. We hypothesized that Th2 cytokine-induced epithelial barrier dysfunction may be protected by activating REV-ERBα. Treatment with Th2 cytokines or HDM significantly reduced the cell impedance, as confirmed by transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER). However, pre-treatment with SR10067 attenuated Th2 cytokine-induced barrier dysfunction, such as decreased permeability, improved TEER, localization of AJC and TJ proteins, and mRNA and protein levels of selected epithelial barrier and circadian clock targets. Overall, we showed for the first time that REV-ERBα activation regulates altered epithelial barrier function that may have direct implications for the treatment of asthma and other allergic diseases.

Mucosal Immunol 2024:S1933-0219(24)00076-X. [PMID: 39097147 DOI: 10.1016/j.mucimm.2024.07.010] [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: 12/14/2023] [Revised: 06/24/2024] [Accepted: 07/29/2024] [Indexed: 08/05/2024]
Abstract
Period circadian clock 2 (PER2) is involved in the pathogenesis of various inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. However, there are gaps in our understanding of the role of PER2 in regulating CD4+ T cells beyond its time-keeping function in ulcerative colitis (UC) pathogenesis. Our findings revealed PER2 was predominantly expressed in CD4+ T cells, while it was significantly decreased in the inflamed mucosa and peripheral blood CD4+ T cells of UC patients compared with that in Crohn's disease (CD) patients and healthy controls (HC). Notably, PER2 expression was significantly recovered in UC patients in remission (R-UC) compared to that in active UC patients (A-UC) but not in CD patients. It was negatively correlated with the Ulcerative Colitis Endoscopic Index of Severity (UCEIS), Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI), Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn's disease (SES-CD), and C-reactive protein (CRP), respectively. Overexpression of PER2 markedly inhibited IFN-γ production in UC CD4+ T cells. RNA-seq analysis showed that overexpression of PER2 could repress the expression of a disintegrin and metalloproteinase 12 (ADAM12), a costimulatory molecule that determines Th1 cell fate. Mechanistically, cleavage under targets and tagmentation (CUT&Tag) analysis revealed that PER2 down-regulated ADAM12 expression by reducing its binding activity, thereby suppressing IFN-γ production in UC CD4+ T cells. Additionally, our data further demonstrated that ADAM12 was upregulated in CD4+ T cells and inflamed mucosa of A-UC patients compared to HC. Our study reveals a critical role of PER2 in regulating CD4+ T cell differentiation and highlights its potential as a therapeutic target for UC treatment.

Abstract
Circadian rhythms regulate physiological processes in approximately 24 h cycles, and their disruption is associated with various diseases. Inflammation may perturb circadian rhythms, though these interactions remain unclear. This study examined whether systemic inflammation induced by an intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) could alter central and peripheral circadian rhythms and diurnal neuroimmune dynamics. Mice were randomly assigned to two groups: the saline control group and the LPS group. The diurnal expression of circadian clock genes and inflammatory cytokines were measured in the hypothalamus, hippocampus, and liver. Diurnal dynamic behaviors of microglia were also assessed. Our results revealed that the LPS perturbed circadian gene oscillations in the hypothalamus, hippocampus, and liver. Furthermore, systemic inflammation induced by the LPS could trigger neuroinflammation and perturb the diurnal dynamic behavior of microglia in the hippocampus. These findings shed light on the intricate link between inflammation and circadian disruption, underscoring their significance in relation to neurodegenerative diseases.

Front Immunol 2024; 15:1402395. [PMID: 38895112 PMCID: PMC11183104 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2024.1402395] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2024] [Accepted: 05/15/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Circadian rhythm disruption (CRD) is thought to increase the risk of inflammatory bowel disease. The deletion of Bmal1, a core transcription factor, leads to a complete loss of the circadian rhythm and exacerbates the severity of dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis in mice. However, the underlying mechanisms by which CRD and Bmal1 mediate IBD are still unclear. Methods We used a CRD mouse model, a mouse colitis model, and an in vitro model of colonic epithelial cell monolayers. We also knocked down and overexpressed Bmal1 in Caco-2 cells by transfecting lentivirus in vitro. The collected colon tissue and treated cells were assessed and analyzed using immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence staining, quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, western blot, flow cytometry, transmission electron microscopy, and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labelling staining. Results We found that CRD mice with downregulated Bmal1 expression were more sensitive to DSS-induced colitis and had more severely impaired intestinal barrier function than wild-type mice. Bmal1-/- mice exhibited more severe colitis, accompanied by decreased tight junction protein levels and increased apoptosis of intestinal epithelial cells compared with wild-type mice, which were alleviated by using the autophagy agonist rapamycin. Bmal1 overexpression attenuated Lipopolysaccharide-induced apoptosis of intestinal epithelial cells and impaired intestinal epithelial cells barrier function in vitro, while inhibition of autophagy reversed this protective effect. Conclusion This study suggests that CRD leads to the downregulation of Bmal1 expression in the colon, which may exacerbate DSS-induced colitis in mice, and that Bmal1 may serve as a novel target for treating inflammatory bowel disease.

Sleep deprivation-induced anxiety-like behaviors are associated with alterations in the gut microbiota and metabolites. Microbiol Spectr 2024; 12:e0143723. [PMID: 38421192 PMCID: PMC10986621 DOI: 10.1128/spectrum.01437-23] [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: 04/07/2023] [Accepted: 02/03/2024] [Indexed: 03/02/2024] Open
Abstract
The present study aimed to characterize the gut microbiota and serum metabolome changes associated with sleep deprivation (SD) as well as to explore the potential benefits of multi-probiotic supplementation in alleviating SD-related mental health disorders. Rats were subjected to 7 days of SD, followed by 14 days of multi-probiotics or saline administration. Open-field tests were conducted at baseline, end of SD (day 7), and after 14 days of saline or multi-probiotic gavage (day 21). Metagenomic sequencing was conducted on fecal samples, and serum metabolites were measured by untargeted liquid chromatography tandem-mass spectrometry. At day 7, anxiety-like behaviors, including significant decreases in total movement distance (P = 0.0002) and staying time in the central zone (P = 0.021), were observed. In addition, increased levels of lipopolysaccharide (LPS; P = 0.028) and decreased levels of uridine (P = 0.018) and tryptophan (P = 0.01) were detected in rats after 7 days of SD. After SD, the richness of the gut bacterial community increased, and the levels of Akkermansia muciniphila, Muribaculum intestinale, and Bacteroides caecimuris decreased. The changes in the host metabolism and gut microbiota composition were strongly associated with the anxiety-like behaviors caused by SD. In addition, multi-probiotic supplementation for 14 days modestly improved the anxiety-like behaviors in SD rats but significantly reduced the serum level of LPS (P = 0.045). In conclusion, SD induces changes in the gut microbiota and serum metabolites, which may contribute to the development of chronic inflammatory responses and affect the gut-brain axis, causing anxiety-like behaviors. Probiotic supplementation significantly reduces serum LPS, which may alleviate the influence of chronic inflammation. IMPORTANCE The disturbance in the gut microbiome and serum metabolome induced by SD may be involved in anxiety-like behaviors. Probiotic supplementation decreases serum levels of LPS, but this reduction may be insufficient for alleviating SD-induced anxiety-like behaviors.

Abstract
The circadian rhythm generated by circadian clock genes functions as an internal timing system. Since the circadian rhythm controls abundant physiological processes, the circadian rhythm evolved in organisms is salient for adaptation to environmental change. A disturbed circadian rhythm is a trigger for numerous pathological events. Recently, accumulated data have indicated that kidney stone disease (KSD) is related to circadian rhythm disturbance. However, the mechanism between them has not been fully elucidated. In this narrative review, we summarized existing evidence to illustrate the possible association between circadian rhythm disturbance and KSD based on the epidemiological studies and risk factors that are linked to circadian rhythm disturbance and discuss some chronotherapies for KSD. In summary, KSD is associated with systemic disorders. Metabolic syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, and microbiome dysbiosis are the major risk factors supported by sufficient data to cause KSD in patients with circadian rhythm disturbance, while others including hypertension, vitamin D deficiency, parathyroid gland dysfunction, and renal tubular damage/dysfunction need further investigation. Then, some chronotherapies for KSD were confirmed to be effective, but the molecular mechanism is still unclear.

Abstract
The circadian timing system enables organisms to adapt their physiology and behavior to the cyclic environmental changes including light-dark cycle or food availability. Misalignment between the endogenous circadian rhythms and external cues is known as chronodisruption and is closely associated with the development of metabolic and gastrointestinal disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer. Time-restricted eating (TRE, in human) is an emerging dietary approach for weight management. Recent studies have shown that TRE or time-restricted feeding (TRF, when referring to animals) has several beneficial health effects, which, however, are not limited to weight management. This review summarizes the effects of TRE/TRF on regulating energy metabolism, gut microbiota and homeostasis, development of cardiovascular diseases and cancer. Furthermore, we will address the role of circadian clocks in TRE/TRF and propose ways to optimize TRE as a dietary strategy to obtain maximal health benefits.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The influence of physical activity, diet and sleep on asthma has been well documented by recent studies respectively. However, few studies focus on the relationship between asthma attack and the overall lifestyle, which comprises interrelated lifestyle factors. This study aims to investigate the influence of lifestyles on the ratio of asthma attack. Data were extracted from the NHANES database (2017 to May 2020). METHODS A total of 834 asthmatic patients were enrolled and divided into non-asthma attack (N.=460) and asthma attack (N.=374) groups. The risk factors for asthma attacks were preliminarily identified by univariate logistic analysis, then multivariate logistic analysis was employed to select independent risk factors other than lifestyles and further determine the association between lifestyles and asthma attacks. RESULTS After multivariate logistic analysis, engagement of vigorous activity (Model 1 P=0.010, Model 2 P=0.016, Model 3 P=0.012), engagement of moderate activity (Model 1 P=0.006, Model 2 P=0.008, Model 3 P=0.003) and sleep disorder (Model1 P=0.001, Model 2 P<0.001, Model 3 P=0.008) were determined as independent risk factors of lifestyles for an asthma attack in the past year. CONCLUSIONS This research documented that, for asthmatic patients, engagement of vigorous activity, engagement of moderate activity, and sleep disorder will make an asthma attack more likely to happen.

Abstract
The timing of food intake is a key cue for circadian rhythms in humans and animals. In response to food intake, gut hormones called incretin are produced by intestinal enteroendocrine cells in a circadian rhythm that stimulates insulin secretion and regulates body weight and energy expenditure. Pregnancy is associated with the expansion of β cells, the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus, and excessive weight gain. The timing of food intake is a good way to address metabolic complications during pregnancy. The current review focuses on the circadian rhythms and biological actions of enteroendocrine hormones and their associations with pregnancy status, specifically topics like food intake and gut circadian rhythms, the circadian secretion of enteroendocrine peptides, and the effects of these factors during pregnancy.

Abstract
We evaluated the mechanistic link between circadian rhythms and gut barrier permeability. Mice were subjected to either constant 24-h light (LL) or 12-h light/dark cycles (LD). Mice housed in LL experienced a significant increase in gut barrier permeability that was associated with dysregulated ß-catenin expression and altered expression of tight junction (TJ) proteins. Silencing of ß-catenin resulted in disruption of barrier function in SW480 cells, with ß-catenin appearing to be an upstream regulator of the core circadian components, such as Bmal1, Clock, and Per1/2. In addition, ß-catenin silencing downregulated ZO-1 and occludin TJ proteins with only limited or no changes at their mRNA levels, suggesting post transcriptional regulation. Indeed, silencing of ß-catenin significantly upregulated expression of matrix metallopeptidase (MMP)-2 and MMP-9, and blocking MMP-2/9 activity attenuated epithelial disruption induced by ß-catenin silencing. These results indicate the regulatory role of circadian disruption on gut barrier integrity and the associations between TJ proteins and circadian rhythms, while demonstrating the regulatory role of ß-catenin in this process.

Abstract
Sleep is essential for our health. Short sleep is known to increase disease risks via imbalance of intestinal microbiota, dysbiosis. However, mechanisms by which short sleep induces dysbiosis remain unknown. Small intestinal Paneth cell regulates the intestinal microbiota by secreting antimicrobial peptides including α-defensin, human defensin 5 (HD5). Disruption of circadian rhythm mediating sleep-wake cycle induces Paneth cell failure. We aim to clarify effects of short sleep on HD5 secretion and the intestinal microbiota. Fecal samples and self-reported sleep time were obtained from 35 healthy middle-aged Japanese (41 to 60-year-old). Shorter sleep time was associated with lower fecal HD5 concentration (r = 0.354, p = 0.037), lower centered log ratio (CLR)-transformed abundance of short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) producers in the intestinal microbiota such as [Ruminococcus] gnavus group (r = 0.504, p = 0.002) and Butyricicoccus (r = 0.484, p = 0.003), and lower fecal SCFA concentration. Furthermore, fecal HD5 positively correlated with the abundance of these genera and SCFA concentration. These findings suggest that short sleep relates to disturbance of the intestinal microbiota via decreased HD5 secretion.

Berberine increases stromal production of Wnt molecules and activates Lgr5 + stem cells to promote epithelial restitution in experimental colitis. BMC Biol 2022; 20:287. [PMID: 36528592 PMCID: PMC9759859 DOI: 10.1186/s12915-022-01492-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2022] [Accepted: 12/01/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) are characterized by sustained inflammation and/or ulcers along the lower digestive tract, and have complications such as colorectal cancer and inflammation in other organs. The current treatments for IBDs, which affect 0.3% of the global population, mainly target immune cells and inflammatory cytokines with a success rate of less than 40%. RESULTS Here we show that berberine, a natural plant product, is more effective than the frontline drug sulfasalazine in treating DSS (dextran sulfate sodium)-induced colitis in mice, and that berberine not only suppresses macrophage and granulocyte activation but also promotes epithelial restitution by activating Lgr5+ intestinal stem cells (ISCs). Mechanistically, berberine increases the expression of Wnt genes in resident mesenchymal stromal cells, an ISC niche, and inhibiting Wnt secretion diminishes the therapeutic effects of berberine. We further show that berberine controls the expression of many circadian rhythm genes in stromal cells, which in turn regulate the expression of Wnt molecules. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that berberine acts on the resident stromal cells and ISCs to promote epithelial repair in experimental colitis and that Wnt-β-Catenin signaling may be a potential target for colitis treatment.

Abstract
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a relapsing non-transmural chronic inflammatory disease of the colon characterized by bloody diarrhea. The etiology of UC is unknown. The goal is to reduce the inflammation and induce disease remission in UC patients with active disease. The aim of this study is to investigate the innovative treatment method used to promote disease remission in UC patients with active disease targeting gut dysbiosis. Immunosuppressants such as TNF-α blocker are used to promote disease remission in UC, but it is expensive and with side effects. Probiotic, prebiotic and diet are shown to be effective in maintaining disease remission. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) might be the future therapy option to promote disease remission in UC patients with active disease. However, correct manufacturing and administration of the FMT are essential to achieve successful outcome. A few cohorts with FMT capsules show promising results in UC patients with active disease. However, randomized controlled clinical trials with long-term treatment and follow-up periods are necessary to show FMT capsules' efficacy to promote disease remission in UC patients.

Abstract
The morbidity of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) is rising rapidly but no curative therapies to prevent its recurrence. Cell death is crucial to maintaining homeostasis. Necroptosis is a newly identified programmed cell death and its roles played in IBD need to be explored. Necroptosis is mediated by receptor interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1), RIPK3, and mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL), which resulted in cell swelling, plasma membrane rupture, intracellular content leaking, and eventually cell death as well as the promotion of inflammation. Studies have found that inhibiting necroptosis alleviated IBD in animal models and IBD patients with an increased level of necroptosis in inflammatory tissues, indicating that necroptosis is related to the pathogenesis of IBD. However, due to the complexity in regulation of necroptosis and the involvement of multiple functions of relevant signaling molecules, the specific mechanism remains elusive. Necroptosis may play a vital regulatory role in the pathogenesis of IBD, which provides a new idea and method for further exploring the therapeutic target of IBD.

Abstract
The circadian clock is a self-sustained molecular timekeeper that drives 24-h (circadian) rhythms in animals. The clock governs important aspects of behavior and physiology including wake/sleep activity cycles that regulate the activity of metabolic and digestive systems. Light/dark cycles (photoperiod) and cycles in the time of feeding synchronize the circadian clock to the surrounding environment, providing an anticipatory benefit that promotes digestive health. The availability of animal models targeting the genetic components of the circadian clock has made it possible to investigate the circadian clock's role in cellular functions. Circadian clock genes have been shown to regulate the physiological function of hepatocytes, gastrointestinal cells, and adipocytes; disruption of the circadian clock leads to the exacerbation of liver diseases and liver cancer, inflammatory bowel disease and colorectal cancer, and obesity. Previous findings provide strong evidence that the circadian clock plays an integral role in digestive/metabolic disease pathogenesis, hence, the circadian clock is a necessary component in metabolic and digestive health and homeostasis. Circadian rhythms and circadian clock function provide an opportunity to improve the prevention and treatment of digestive and metabolic diseases by aligning digestive system tissue with the 24-h day.

Digital circadian and sleep health in individual hospital shift workers: A cross sectional telemonitoring study. EBioMedicine 2022; 81:104121. [PMID: 35772217 PMCID: PMC9253495 DOI: 10.1016/j.ebiom.2022.104121] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2022] [Revised: 05/25/2022] [Accepted: 06/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Telemonitoring of circadian and sleep cycles could identify shift workers at increased risk of poor health, including cancer and cardiovascular diseases, thus supporting personalized prevention. METHODS The Circadiem cross-sectional study aimed at determining early warning signals of risk of health alteration in hospital nightshifters (NS) versus dayshifters (DS, alternating morning and afternoon shifts). Circadian rhythmicity in activity, sleep, and temperature was telemonitored on work and free days for one week. Participants wore a bluetooth low energy thoracic accelerometry and temperature sensor that was wirelessly connected to a GPRS gateway and a health data hub server. Hidden Markov modelling of activity quantified Rhythm Index, rest quality (probability, p1-1, of remaining at rest), and rest duration. Spectral analyses determined periods in body surface temperature and accelerometry. Parameters were compared and predictors of circadian and sleep disruption were identified by multivariate analyses using information criteria-based model selection. Clusters of individual shift work response profiles were recognized. FINDINGS Of 140 per-protocol participants (133 females), there were 63 NS and 77 DS. Both groups had similar median rest amount, yet NS had significantly worse median rest-activity Rhythm Index (0·38 [IQR, 0·29-0·47] vs. 0·69 [0·60-0·77], p<0·0001) and rest quality p1-1 (0·94 [0·94-0·95] vs 0·96 [0·94-0·97], p<0·0001) over the whole study week. Only 48% of the NS displayed a circadian period in temperature, as compared to 70% of the DS (p=0·026). Poor p1-1 was associated with nightshift work on both work (p<0·0001) and free days (p=0·0098). The number of years of past night work exposure predicted poor rest-activity Rhythm Index jointly with shift type, age and chronotype on workdays (p= 0·0074), and singly on free days (p=0·0005). INTERPRETATION A dedicated analysis toolbox of streamed data from a wearable device identified circadian and sleep rhythm markers, that constitute surrogate candidate endpoints of poor health risk in shift-workers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metabolic dysfunction and obesity rates are on the rise. Although the central modes of circadian disruption has been studied in relation to the risk of obesity, the role of eating time has remained unclear. Here, we aimed to assess circadian behavioral phenotypes and their association with the risk of elevated body mass index (BMI). METHODS This was a prospective cross-sectional study of individuals presenting for colorectal cancer screening colonoscopy. Participants completed demographic questionnaires, The Munich ChronoType Questionnaire (MCTQ), and Food Timing Screener (FTS). The primary outcome of the study was the association between circadian phenotypes and elevated BMI. RESULTS A total of 488 individuals completed the survey, with a mean (SD) age of 57.5 (10.8) years. The mean body mass index (BMI) was 28.8 (6.1) kg/m2, with 72.3% of individuals met criteria for elevated BMI. Four circadian behavioral phenotypes were generated: early chronotype with regular food timing (ER) (34.7%), early chronotype with irregular food timing (EI) (11.7%), intermediate/late chronotype with regular food timing (LR) (33.9%), and intermediate/late chronotype with irregular food timing (LI) (19.7%). In a multivariable regression analysis, LI phenotype had 2.9 times higher odds of elevated BMI as compared to ER phenotype (OR 2.9, 95% CI 1.3-6.7, P = 0.01). CONCLUSION The combination of late chronotype and irregular food timing, representative of a behavioral circadian rhythm disruption, is associated with higher rates of elevated BMI. The majority of individuals with this abnormal circadian phenotype were younger than 60 years old. This observation is especially relevant because of the ongoing rise in the obesity rates among young adults. LEVEL III Evidence obtained from well-designed cohort or case-control analytic studies.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease is a group of chronic, recurrent, nonspecific inflammatory diseases of the intestine that severely affect the quality of life of patients. The pathogenesis of this disease is caused by complex and interactive neural networks composed of factors such as genetic susceptibility, external environment, immune disorders, and intestinal barrier dysfunction. It is well known that there is a strong link between environmental stressors (also known as circadian clocks) that can influence circadian changes and inflammatory bowel disease. Among them, the biological clock is involved in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease by affecting the function of the intestinal barrier. Therefore, this review is aimed at systematically summarizing the latest research progress on the role of the circadian clock in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease by affecting intestinal barrier functions (intestinal mechanical barrier, intestinal immune barrier, intestinal microecological barrier, and intestinal chemical barrier) and the potential clinical value of clock genes in the management of inflammatory bowel disease, for the application of circadian clock therapy in the management of inflammatory bowel disease and then the benefit to the majority of patients.

Abstract
A computational platform, Boolean network explorer (BoNE), has recently been developed to infuse AI-enhanced precision into drug discovery; it enables invariant Boolean Implication Networks of disease maps for prioritizing high-value targets. Here we used BoNE to query an Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)-map and prioritize a therapeutic strategy that involves dual agonism of two nuclear receptors, PPARα/γ. Balanced agonism of PPARα/γ was predicted to modulate macrophage processes, ameliorate colitis, 'reset' the gene expression network from disease to health. Predictions were validated using a balanced and potent PPARα/γ-dual-agonist (PAR5359) in Citrobacter rodentium- and DSS-induced murine colitis models. Using inhibitors and agonists, we show that balanced-dual agonism promotes bacterial clearance efficiently than individual agonists, both in vivo and in vitro. PPARα is required and sufficient to induce the pro-inflammatory cytokines and cellular ROS, which are essential for bacterial clearance and immunity, whereas PPARγ-agonism blunts these responses, delays microbial clearance; balanced dual agonism achieved controlled inflammation while protecting the gut barrier and 'reversal' of the transcriptomic network. Furthermore, dual agonism reversed the defective bacterial clearance observed in PBMCs derived from IBD patients. These findings not only deliver a macrophage modulator for use as barrier-protective therapy in IBD, but also highlight the potential of BoNE to rationalize combination therapy.

Abstract
Circadian rhythms are cyclic patterns of physiological, behavioural and molecular events that occur over a 24-h period. They are controlled by the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), the brain’s master pacemaker which governs peripheral clocks and melatonin release. While circadian systems are endogenous, there are external factors that synchronise the SCN to the ambient environment including light/dark cycles, fasting/fed state, temperature and physical activity. Circadian rhythms also provide internal temporal organisation which ensures that any internal changes that take place are centrally coordinated. Melatonin synchronises peripheral clocks to the external time and circadian rhythms are regulated by gene expression to control physiological function. Synchronisation of the circadian system with the external environment is vital for the health and survival of an organism and as circadian rhythms play a pivotal role in regulating GI physiology, disruption may lead to gastrointestinal (GI) dysfunction. Disorders of gut-brain interactions (DGBIs), also known as functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs), are a group of diseases where patients experience reoccurring gastrointestinal symptoms which cannot be explained by obvious structural abnormalities and include functional dyspepsia (FD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Food timing impacts on the production of melatonin and given the correlation between food intake and symptom onset reported by patients with DGBIs, chronodisruption may be a feature of these conditions. Recent advances in immunology implicate circadian rhythms in the regulation of immune responses, and DGBI patients report fatigue and disordered sleep, suggesting circadian disruption. Further, melatonin treatment has been demonstrated to improve symptom burden in IBS patients, however, the mechanisms underlying this efficacy are unclear. Given the influence of circadian rhythms on gastrointestinal physiology and the immune system, modulation of these rhythms may be a potential therapeutic option for reducing symptom burden in these patients.

Abstract
The adaptive arm of the immune system facilitates recognition of specific foreign pathogens and, via the action of T and B lymphocytes, induces a fine-tuned response to target the pathogen and develop immunological memory. The functionality of the adaptive immune system exhibits daily 24-h variation both in homeostatic processes (such as lymphocyte trafficking and development of T lymphocyte subsets) and in responses to challenge. Here, we discuss how the circadian clock exerts influence over the function of the adaptive immune system, considering the roles of cell intrinsic clockwork machinery and cell extrinsic rhythmic signals. Inappropriate or misguided actions of the adaptive immune system can lead to development of autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis and multiple sclerosis. Growing evidence indicates that disturbance of the circadian clock has negative impact on development and progression of these chronic inflammatory diseases and we examine current understanding of clock-immune interactions in the setting of these inflammatory conditions. A greater appreciation of circadian control of adaptive immunity will facilitate further understanding of mechanisms driving daily variation in disease states and drive improvements in the diagnosis and treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Many physiological functions exhibit circadian rhythms: oscillations in biological processes that occur in a 24-hour period. These daily rhythms are maintained through a highly conserved molecular pacemaker known as the circadian clock. Circadian disruption has been proposed to cause increased risk of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Patients with IBD experience chronic inflammation and impaired regeneration of intestinal epithelial cells. Previous animal-based studies have revealed that colitis models of IBD are more severe in mice without a circadian clock but the timing of colitis, and whether its inflammatory and regenerative processes have daily rhythms, remains poorly characterized. We tested circadian disruption using Bmal1-/- mutant mice that have a non-functional circadian clock and thus no circadian rhythms. Dextran Sulfate Sodium (DSS) was used to induce colitis. The disease activity of colitis was found to exhibit time-dependent variation in Bmal1+/+ control mice but is constant and elevated in Bmal1-/- mutants, who exhibit poor recovery. Histological analyses indicate worsened colitis severity in Bmal1-/- mutant colon, and colon infiltration of immune system cells shows a daily rhythm that is lost in the Bmal1-/- mutant. Similarly, epithelial proliferation in the colon has a daily rhythm in Bmal1+/+ controls but not in Bmal1-/- mutants. Our results support a critical role of a functional circadian clock in the colon which drives 24-hour rhythms in inflammation and healing, and whose disruption impairs colitis recovery. This indicates that weakening circadian rhythms not only worsens colitis, but delays healing and should be taken into account in the management of IBD. Recognition of this is important in the management of IBD patients required to do shift work.

Abstract
With the gradual deepening of understanding of systemic health and quality of life, the factors affecting osteoarthritis (OA) are not limited to mechanical injury, metabolic abnormality, age and obesity, etc., but circadian rhythm, which plays a non-negligible role in human daily life. The purpose of this study was to explore the molecular mechanism of chronic circadian rhythm disturbance (CRD) inducing cartilage OA-like degeneration. Rats with the anterior cruciate ligament excision transection (ACLT) were used to establish the early-stage OA model (6-week). The light/dark (LD) cycle shifted 12 h per week for 22 weeks in order to establish a chronic CRD model. BMAL1 knockdown (KD) and Wnt/β-catenin pathway inhibition were performed in chondrocytes. The contents of proinflammatory factors and OA biomarkers in serum and chondrocyte secretions were detected by ELISA. Pathological and immunohistochemical staining of articular cartilage indicated the deterioration of cartilage. WB and qPCR were used to evaluate the relationship between matrix degradation and the activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in chondrocytes. We found that chronic CRD could cause OA-like pathological changes in knee cartilage of rats, accelerating cartilage matrix degradation and synovial inflammation. The expression of MMP-3, MMP-13, ADAMTS-4, and β-catenin increased significantly; BMAL1, Aggrecan, and COL2A1 decreased significantly in either LD-shifted cartilage or BMAL1-KD chondrocytes. The expression of β-catenin and p-GSK-3β elevated, while p-β-catenin and GSK-3β diminished. The inhibitor XAV-939 was able to mitigated the increased inflammation produced by transfected siBMAL1. Our study demonstrates that chronic CRD disrupts the balance of matrix synthesis and catabolic metabolism in cartilage and chondrocytes, and it is related to the activation of the canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Abstract
Certain members of the gut microbiota exhibit diurnal variations in relative abundance and function to serve as non-canonical drivers of host circadian rhythms and metabolism. Also known as microbial oscillators, these microorganisms entrain upon non-photic cues, primarily dietary, to modulate host metabolism by providing input to both circadian clock-dependent and clock-independent host networks. Microbial oscillators are generally promoted by plant-based, low-fat (lean) diets, and most are abolished by low-fibre, high-sugar, high-fat (Western) diets. The changes in microbial oscillators under different diets then affect host metabolism by altering central and peripheral host circadian clock functions and/or by directly affecting other metabolic targets. Here, we review the unique role of the gut microbiota as a non-photic regulator of host circadian rhythms and metabolism. We describe genetic, environmental, dietary and other host factors such as sex and gut immunity that determine the composition and behaviour of microbial oscillators. The mechanisms by which these oscillators regulate host circadian gene expression and metabolic state are further discussed. Because of the gut microbiota's unique role as a non-photic driver of host metabolism and circadian rhythms, the development and clinical application of novel gut microbiota-related diagnostics and therapeutics hold great promise for achieving and maintaining metabolic health.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Circadian rhythms are daily physiological oscillations driven by the circadian clock: a 24-hour transcriptional timekeeper that regulates hormones, inflammation, and metabolism. Circadian rhythms are known to be important for health, but whether their loss contributes to colorectal cancer is not known. We tested the nonredundant clock gene Bmal1 in intestinal homeostasis and tumorigenesis, using the Apcmin model of colorectal cancer. METHODS Bmal1 mutant, epithelium-conditional Bmal1 mutant, and photoperiod (day/night cycle) disrupted mice bearing the Apcmin allele were assessed for tumorigenesis. Tumors and normal nontransformed tissue were characterized. Intestinal organoids were assessed for circadian transcription rhythms by RNA sequencing, and in vivo and organoid assays were used to test Bmal1-dependent proliferation and self-renewal. RESULTS Loss of Bmal1 or circadian photoperiod increases tumor initiation. In the intestinal epithelium the clock regulates transcripts involved in regeneration and intestinal stem cell signaling. Tumors have no self-autonomous clock function and only weak clock function in vivo. Apcmin clock-disrupted tumors show high Yes-associated protein 1 (Hippo signaling) activity but show low Wnt (Wingless and Int-1) activity. Intestinal organoid assays show that loss of Bmal1 increases self-renewal in a Yes-associated protein 1-dependent manner. CONCLUSIONS Bmal1 regulates intestinal stem cell pathways, including Hippo signaling, and the loss of circadian rhythms potentiates tumor initiation.

Abstract
Many molecular, physiological and behavioural processes display distinct 24-hour rhythms that are directed by the circadian system. The master clock, located in the suprachiasmatic nucleus region of the hypothalamus, is synchronized or entrained by the light-dark cycle and, in turn, synchronizes clocks present in peripheral tissues and organs. Other environmental cues, most importantly feeding time, also synchronize peripheral clocks. In this way, the circadian system can prepare the body for predictable environmental changes such as the availability of nutrients during the normal feeding period. This Review summarizes existing knowledge about the diurnal regulation of gastrointestinal processes by circadian clocks present in the digestive tract and its accessory organs. The circadian control of gastrointestinal digestion, motility, hormones and barrier function as well as of the gut microbiota are discussed. An overview is given of the interplay between different circadian clocks in the digestive system that regulate glucose homeostasis and lipid and bile acid metabolism. Additionally, the bidirectional interaction between the master clock and peripheral clocks in the digestive system, encompassing different entraining factors, is described. Finally, the possible behavioural adjustments or pharmacological strategies for the prevention and treatment of the adverse effects of chronodisruption are outlined.

Abstract
The immunoinhibitory effect of glucocorticoid and immunoenhancing attributes of melatonin (MEL) are well known, however, the involvement of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) in melatonin modulation of bacterial toxins caused-inflammation has not been studied in colon. Pyocyanin (PCN), a toxin released by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, can destroy cells through generating superoxide products and inflammatory response. Here we report that PCN treatment elevated the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which further lead to mitochondrial swelling and caspase cascades activation both in vivo and in vitro. However, MEL treatment alleviated the oxidative stress caused by PCN on cells through scavenging ROS and restoring the expression of antioxidant enzyme so that to effectively alleviate the apoptosis. Large amounts of ROS can activate the NLRP3 signaling pathway, so MEL inhibited PCN induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation and inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-8, and TNF-α) secretion. In order to further investigate the molecular mechanism, goblet cells were exposed to MEL and PCN in the presence of luzindole and RU486, inhibitors of MEL receptors and GR respectively. It was found that PCN significantly inhibited the expression level of GR, and MEL effectively alleviated the inhibition phenomenon. Moreover, we found that MEL mainly upregulated the expression of GR to achieve its anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic functions rather than through its own receptor (MT2) in colon goblet cells. Therefore, MEL can reverse the inhibitory effects of PCN on GR/p-GR expression to present its anti-oxidative and anti-apoptotic function.

Abstract
Circadian rhythms are 24-hour biological rhythms within organisms that have developed over evolutionary time due to predefined environmental changes, mainly the light-dark cycle. Interestingly, metabolic tissues, which are largely responsible for establishing diurnal metabolic homeostasis, have been found to express cell-autonomous clocks that are entrained by food intake. Disruption of the circadian system, as seen in individuals who conduct shift work, confers significant risk for the development of metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and obesity. The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is the first point of contact for ingested nutrients and is thus an essential organ system for metabolic control. This review will focus on the circadian function of the GI tract with a particular emphasis on its role in metabolism through regulation of gut hormone release. First, the circadian molecular clock as well as the organization of the mammalian circadian system is introduced. Next, a brief overview of the structure of the gut as well as the circadian regulation of key functions important in establishing metabolic homeostasis is discussed. Particularly, the focus of the review is centered around secretion of gut hormones; however, other functions of the gut such as barrier integrity and intestinal immunity, as well as digestion and absorption, all of which have relevance to metabolic control will be considered. Finally, we provide insight into the effects of circadian disruption on GI function and discuss chronotherapeutic intervention strategies for mitigating associated metabolic dysfunction.

Abstract
The circadian clock is a complex cellular mechanism that controls a series of physiological processes, including inflammation. It can directly interact physically with the components of the key inflammatory pathway. Similarly, inflammation can also lead to circadian rhythm disorders, which may further amplify the inflammatory response and aggravate tissue damage. This review offers a structured overview that focusses on the core proteins of the circadian clock and their interactions with inflammatory players, and provides a potential mechanism for the pathological rhythms observed under inflammatory conditions.

Abstract
Thyroid cancer (TC) represents the most common malignancy of the endocrine system, with an increased incidence across continents attributable to both improvement of diagnostic procedures and environmental factors. Among the modifiable risk factors, insulin resistance might influence the development of TC. A relationship between circadian clock machinery disfunction and TC has recently been proposed. The circadian clock machinery comprises a set of rhythmically expressed genes responsible for circadian rhythms. Perturbation of this system contributes to the development of pathological states such as cancer. Several clock genes have been found deregulated upon thyroid nodule malignant transformation. The molecular mechanisms linking circadian clock disruption and TC are still unknown but could include insulin resistance. Circadian misalignment occurring during shift work, jet lag, high fat food intake, is associated with increased insulin resistance. This metabolic alteration, in turn, is associated with a well-known risk factor for TC i.e., hyperthyrotropinemia, which could also be induced by sleep disturbances. In this review, we describe the mechanisms controlling the circadian clock function and its involvement in the cell cycle, stemness and cancer. Moreover, we discuss the evidence supporting the link between circadian clockwork disruption and TC development/progression, highlighting its potential implications for TC prevention, diagnosis and therapy.

Necroptosis is a caspases-independent programmed cell death displaying intermediate features between necrosis and apoptosis. Albeit some physiological roles during embryonic development such tissue homeostasis and innate immune response are documented, necroptosis is mainly considered a pro-inflammatory cell death. Key actors of necroptosis are the receptor-interacting-protein-kinases, RIPK1 and RIPK3, and their target, the mixed-lineage-kinase-domain-like protein, MLKL. The intestinal epithelium has one of the highest rates of cellular turnover in a process that is tightly regulated. Altered necroptosis at the intestinal epithelium leads to uncontrolled microbial translocation and deleterious inflammation. Indeed, necroptosis plays a role in many disease conditions and inhibiting necroptosis is currently considered a promising therapeutic strategy. In this review, we focus on the molecular mechanisms of necroptosis as well as its involvement in human diseases. We also discuss the present developing therapies that target necroptosis machinery.

Abstract
Diverse factors including metabolism, chromatin remodeling, and mitotic kinetics influence development at the cellular level. These factors are well known to interact with the circadian transcriptional-translational feedback loop (TTFL) after its emergence. What is only recently becoming clear, however, is how metabolism, mitosis, and epigenetics may become organized in a coordinated cyclical precursor signaling module in pluripotent cells prior to the onset of TTFL cycling. We propose that both the precursor module and the TTFL module constrain cellular identity when they are active during development, and that the emergence of these modules themselves is a key lineage marker. Here we review the component pathways underlying these ideas; how proliferation, specification, and differentiation decisions in both developmental and adult stem cell populations are or are not regulated by the classical TTFL; and emerging evidence that we propose implies a primordial clock that precedes the classical TTFL and influences early developmental decisions.

Abstract
There is a strong association between obesity and colorectal cancer (CRC), especially in men, whereas estrogen protects against both the metabolic syndrome and CRC. Colon is the first organ to respond to high-fat diet (HFD), and estrogen receptor beta (ERβ) can attenuate CRC development. How estrogen impacts the colon under HFD and related sex differences has, however, not been investigated. To dissect this, mice were fed control diet or HFD for 13 weeks and administered receptor-selective estrogenic ligands for the last three weeks. We recorded impact on metabolism, colon crypt proliferation, macrophage infiltration, and the colon transcriptome. We found clear sex differences in the colon transcriptome and in the impact by HFD and estrogens, including on clock genes. ERα-selective activation reduced body weight and generated systemic effects, whereas ERβ-selective activation had local effects in the colon, attenuating HFD-induced macrophage infiltration and epithelial cell proliferation. We here demonstrate how HFD and estrogens modulate the colon microenvironment in a sex- and ER-specific manner.

Abstract
Circadian rhythms are a very exquisite mechanism to influence on transcriptional levels and physiological activities of various molecules that affect cell metabolic pathways. Long-term alteration of circadian rhythms increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, hypertriglyceridemia, and metabolic syndrome. A drastic change in dietary patterns can affect synchronizing the circadian clock within the metabolic system. Therefore, the interaction between the host and the bacterial community colonizing the mammalian gastrointestinal tract has a great impact on the circadian clock in diurnal programs. Here, we propose that the microbiota regulates body composition through the transcriptional oscillation of circadian regulators. The transcriptional regulator, NFIL3 (also called E4BP4) is a good example. Compositional change of the commensal bacteria influences the rhythmic expression of NFIL3 in the epithelium, which subsequently controls obesity and insulin resistance. Therefore, control of circadian regulators would be a promising therapeutic target for metabolic diseases.

Abstract
Mammalian species contain an internal circadian (i.e., 24-h) clock that is synchronized to the day and night cycles. Large epidemiological studies, which are supported by carefully controlled studies in numerous species, support the idea that chronic disruption of our circadian cycles results in a number of health issues, including obesity and diabetes, defective immune response, and cancer. Here we focus specifically on the role of the complement immune system and its relationship to the internal circadian clock system. While still an incompletely understood area, there is evidence that dysregulated proinflammatory cytokines, complement factors, and oxidative stress can be induced by circadian disruption and that these may feed back into the oscillator at the level of circadian gene regulation. Such a feedback cycle may contribute to impaired host immune response against pathogenic insults. The complement immune system including its activated anaphylatoxins, C3a and C5a, not only facilitate innate and adaptive immune response in chemotaxis and phagocytosis, but they can also amplify chronic inflammation in the host organism. Consequent development of autoimmune disorders, and metabolic diseases associated with additional environmental insults that activate complement can in severe cases, lead to accelerated tissue dysfunction, fibrosis, and ultimately organ failure. Because several promising complement-targeted therapeutics to block uncontrolled complement activation and treat autoimmune diseases are in various phases of clinical trials, understanding fully the circadian properties of the complement system, and the reciprocal regulation by these two systems could greatly improve patient treatment in the long term.

Abstract
Aging and tumorigenesis are associated with decline and disruption of circadian rhythms in many tissues and accumulating evidence indicates molecular link between circadian clock and cell cycle. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of aging and tumorigenesis on coupling between cell cycle and circadian clock oscillators in colon, which undergoes regular rhythmicity of cell cycle and expresses peripheral circadian clock. Using healthy 14-week-old mice and 33-week-old mice with and without colorectal tumors, we showed that the 24-h expression profiles of clock genes and clock-controlled genes were mostly unaffected by aging, whereas the genes of cell cycle and cell proliferation were rhythmic in the young colons but were silenced during aging. On the other hand, tumorigenesis completely silenced or dampened the circadian rhythmicity of the clock genes but only a few genes associated with cell cycle progression and cell proliferation. These results suggest that aging impacts the colonic circadian clock moderately but markedly suppresses the rhythms of cell cycle genes and appears to uncouple the cell cycle machinery from circadian clock control. Conversely, tumorigenesis predominantly affects the rhythms of colonic circadian clocks but is not associated with uncoupling of circadian clock and cell cycle.

Abstract
Allergic diseases such as allergic rhinitis, asthma, atopic dermatitis, and food allergy are characterized by epithelial barrier dysfunction and deregulated immune responses. Components of the circadian clock interact with critical elements of epithelial barrier function and immune responses, and regulate the biological processes on a 24-h cycle at steady state. This may represent an anticipatory defense response to day-night fluctuation of attack by noxious stimuli such as pathogens in the environment. This review will summarize clock control of epithelial barrier function and immune responses associated with allergic disease and offer novel insights and opportunities into how clock dysfunction impacts allergic disease. Importantly, perturbation of normal clock activity by genetic and environmental disturbances, such as chronic light cycle perturbations or irregular eating habits, deregulates epithelial barrier function and immune responses. This implies that the circadian clock is strongly linked to the fundamental biology of allergic disease, and that clock disruption can precipitate allergic disease by altering the epithelial barrier and immune functions. Given that contemporary lifestyles often involve chronic circadian disruptions such as shift work, we propose that lifestyle or therapeutic interventions that align the endogenous circadian clock with environmental cycles should be a part of the efforts to prevent or treat allergic disease in modern society.

Abstract
Non-caloric artificial sweeteners are frequently discussed as components of the “Western diet”, negatively modulating intestinal homeostasis. Since the artificial sweetener saccharin is known to depict bacteriostatic and microbiome-modulating properties, we hypothesized oral saccharin intake to influence intestinal inflammation and aimed at delineating its effect on acute and chronic colitis activity in mice. In vitro, different bacterial strains were grown in the presence or absence of saccharin. Mice were supplemented with saccharin before or after induction of acute or chronic colitis using dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) and the extent of colitis was assessed. Ex vivo, intestinal inflammation, fecal bacterial load and composition were studied by immunohistochemistry analyses, quantitative PCR, 16 S RNA PCR or next generation sequencing in samples collected from analyzed mice. In vitro, saccharin inhibited bacterial growth in a species-dependent manner. In vivo, oral saccharin intake reduced fecal bacterial load and altered microbiome composition, while the intestinal barrier was not obviously affected. Of note, DSS-induced colitis activity was significantly improved in mice after therapeutic or prophylactic treatment with saccharin. Together, this study demonstrates that oral saccharin intake decreases intestinal bacteria count and hence encompasses the capacity to reduce acute and chronic colitis activity in mice.

Abstract
Daily fluctuations in animal physiology, known as circadian rhythms, are orchestrated by a conserved molecular timekeeper, known as the circadian clock. The circadian clock forms a transcription-translation feedback loop that has emerged as a central biological regulator of many 24-h processes. Early studies of the intestine discovered that many digestive functions have a daily rhythm and that intestinal cell production was similarly time-dependent. As genetic methods in model organisms have become available, it has become apparent that the circadian clock regulates many basic cellular functions, including growth, proliferation, and differentiation, as well as cell signalling and stem cell self-renewal. Recent connections between circadian rhythms and immune system function, and between circadian rhythms and microbiome dynamics, have also been revealed in the intestine. These processes are highly relevant in understanding intestinal stem cell biology. Here we describe the circadian clock regulation of intestinal stem cells primarily in two model organisms: Drosophila melanogaster and mice. Like all cells in the body, intestinal stem cells are subject to circadian timing, and both cell-intrinsic and cell-extrinsic circadian processes contribute to their function.

Abstract
This review examines preclinical and clinical studies relevant to our understanding of how the bidirectional gut-brain axis influences the natural history of inflammatory bowel disease. Preclinical studies provide proof of concept that preexisting behavioral illness, such as depression, results in increased susceptibility to inflammatory stimuli and that commonly used classes of antidepressants protect against this vulnerability. However, clinical studies suggesting behavioral illness as a risk factor for IBD and a protective role for antidepressants have relied primarily on symptom-reporting rather than objective measurements of inflammation. In terms of gut-to-brain signaling, there is emerging evidence from preclinical and clinical observation that intestinal inflammation alters brain functions, including the induction of mood disorders, alteration of circadian rhythm both centrally and peripherally, and changes in appetitive behaviors. Furthermore, preclinical studies suggest that effective treatment of intestinal inflammation improves associated behavioral impairment. Taken together, the findings of this review encourage a holistic approach to the management of patients with IBD, accommodating lifestyle issues that include the avoidance of sleep deprivation, optimized nutrition, and the monitoring and appropriate management of behavioral disorders. The review also acknowledges the need for better-designed clinical studies evaluating the impact of behavioral disorders and their treatments on the natural history of IBD, utilizing hard end points to assess changes in the inflammatory process as opposed to reliance on symptom-based assessments. The findings of the review also encourage a better understanding of changes in brain function and circadian rhythm induced by intestinal inflammation.

Abstract
The microbiota-gut-brain axis encompasses a bidirectional mode of communication between the microorganisms residing in our gut, and our brain function and behavior. The composition of the gut microbiota is subject to diurnal variation and is entrained by host circadian rhythms. In turn, a diverse microbiota is essential for optimal regulation of host circadian pathways. Disruption of the cyclical nature of this microbe-host interaction profoundly influences disease pathology and severity. This review aims to summarize current knowledge on this bidirectional relationship. Indeed, the past few years have revealed promising data regarding the relationship between the microbiota-gut-brain axis and circadian rhythms and how they act in concert to influence disease, but further research needs to be done to examine how they coalesce to modulate severity of, and risk for, certain diseases. Moreover, there is a need for a greater understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the close relationship between circadian-microbiome-brain interactions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic immunologically mediated pathology that remains a major health burden. Circadian rhythm disruption leads to a deregulation in the immune system which is a major risk factor for IBD. AIMS Since fecal calprotectin (FC) has been a useful tool for monitoring IBD, we aimed to evaluate the effect of circadian rhythm alteration on gut inflammation status and whether FC is associated with the severity of colitis. METHODS C57BL/6J mice were exposed to circadian shifts for 3 months, and then colitis was induced by 2% dextran sulfate sodium (DSS). Colitis was evaluated according to clinical symptoms and histological scoring. Plasma and intestinal inflammatory and permeability markers as well as fecal and intestinal calprotectin were assessed. RESULTS Circadian shifts aggravated DSS-induced colitis with increased diarrhea, flatulence, and fecal blood associated with decreased colon length. In addition, intestinal cryptic architecture was lost with the presence of increased inflammation, mucosal muscle thickening, and cryptic abscesses. Plasma tumor necrosis factor alpha, interleukin 1 beta, interleukin 6, and C-reactive protein upregulations were paralleled by the deterioration of intestinal permeability. Calprotectin expression and distribution increased in the intestines and feces of shifted animals, and levels highly correlated with the increases in intestinal inflammation and permeability. CONCLUSIONS Circadian rhythm disruption aggravates DSS-induced colitis, whereas fecal and intestinal calprotectin associates with the severity of disease. Calprotectin might be a useful marker and tool for assessing patients at risk of IBD due to lifestyles with disruptive sleep patterns.

Abstract
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is one of the commonest gastrointestinal disorders. Although long-time considered a pure functional disorder, intense research in past years has rendered a very complex and varied array of observations indicating the presence of structural and molecular abnormalities underlying characteristic motor and sensitive changes and clinical manifestations. Analysis of gene and protein expression in the intestinal mucosa has shed light on the molecular mechanisms implicated in IBS physiopathology. This analysis uncovers constitutive and inductive genetic and epigenetic marks in the small and large intestine that highlight the role of epithelial barrier, immune activation, and mucosal processing of foods and toxins and several new molecular pathways in the origin of IBS. The incorporation of innovative high-throughput techniques into IBS research is beginning to provide new insights into highly structured and interconnected molecular mechanisms modulating gene and protein expression at tissue level. Integration and correlation of these molecular mechanisms with clinical and environmental data applying systems biology/medicine and data mining tools emerge as crucial steps that will allow us to get meaningful and more definitive comprehension of IBS-detailed development and show the real mechanisms and causality of the disease and the way to identify more specific diagnostic biomarkers and effective treatments.

Abstract
Today, daylight saving time is observed in nearly 80 countries around the world, including the European Union, the USA, Canada, and Russia. The benefits of daylight saving time in energy management have been questioned since it was first introduced during World War I and the latest research has led to varying results. Meanwhile, adverse effects of seasonal time shifts on human biology have been postulated and the European Union is planning to abandon the biannual clock change completely. Medical studies have revealed a correlation of seasonal time shifts with increased incidences of several diseases including stroke, myocardial infarction, and unipolar depressive episodes. Moreover, studies in mice have provided convincing evidence, that circadian rhythm disruption may be involved in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel diseases, mainly by disturbing the intestinal barrier integrity. Here, we present previously unpublished data from a large German cohort indicating a correlation of seasonal clock changes and medical leaves due to ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Furthermore, we discuss the health risks of clock changes and the current attempts on reforming daylight saving time from a medical perspective.

Abstract
Circadian rhythms regulate over 40% of protein-coding genes in at least one organ in the body through mechanisms tied to the central circadian clock and to cell-intrinsic auto-regulatory feedback loops. Distinct diurnal differences in regulation of regeneration have been found in several organs, including skin, intestinal, and hematopoietic systems. Each regenerating system contains a complex network of cell types with different circadian mechanisms contributing to regeneration. In this review, we elucidate circadian regeneration mechanisms in the three representative systems. We also suggest circadian regulation of global translational activity as an understudied global regulator of regenerative capacity. A more detailed understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying circadian regulation of tissue regeneration would accelerate the development of new regenerative therapies.

Advanced oxidation protein products induce G1 phase arrest in intestinal epithelial cells via a RAGE/CD36-JNK-p27kip1 mediated pathway. Redox Biol 2019; 25:101196. [PMID: 31014575 PMCID: PMC6859530 DOI: 10.1016/j.redox.2019.101196] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2018] [Revised: 02/28/2019] [Accepted: 04/08/2019] [Indexed: 01/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Intestinal epithelial cell (IEC) cycle arrest has recently been found to be involved in the pathogenesis of Crohn's disease (CD). However, the mechanism underlying the regulation of this form of cell cycle arrest, remains unclear. Here, we investigated the roles that advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs) may play in regulating IEC cycle arrest. Plasma AOPPs levels and IEC cycle distributions were evaluated in 12 patients with CD. Molecular changes in various cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), and other regulatory molecules were examined in cultured immortalized rat intestinal epithelial (IEC-6) cells after treatment with AOPPs. The in vivo effects exerted by AOPPs were evaluated using a normal C57BL/6 mouse model with an acute AOPPs challenge. Interestingly, plasma AOPPs levels were elevated in active CD patients and correlated with IEC G1 phase arrest. In addition, IEC treatment with AOPPs markedly reduced the expression of cyclin E and CDK2, thus sensitizing epithelial cells to cell cycle arrest both in vitro and in vivo. Importantly, we found that AOPPs induced IEC G1 phase arrest by modulating two membrane receptors, RAGE and CD36. Furthermore, phosphorylation of c-jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and the expression of p27kip1 in AOPPs-treated cells were subsequently increased and thus affected cell cycle progression. Our findings reveal that AOPPs influence IEC cycle progression by reducing cyclin E and CDK2 expression through RAGE/CD36-depedent JNK/p27kip1 signaling. Consequently, AOPPs may represent a potential therapeutic molecule. Targeting AOPPs may offer a novel approach to managing CD.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) comprises a group of chronic, immune system-mediated inflammatory diseases that primarily affect the gastrointestinal tract. The pathogenesis of the intestinal lesions in IBD remains elusive, but the inflammation process could be the result of dysfunction of the innate and adaptive immune systems induced by genetic and environmental factors. In recent years, research has demonstrated a connection between environmental stressors that can influence day-night variations, also called circadian rhythms, and digestive health. In this review, we focus on alterations in the complex interactions between intestinal mucosa, microbial factors, and the immune response in the intestinal milieu. We introduce the mechanisms that establish circadian rhythms and their regulation by the circadian rhythm genes. Evidence of circadian variation in the defense mechanisms of the intestine and its implication in the maintenance of a healthy microbiota are presented. Disruption of the circadian system can increase the activity of the gut immune system and the release of inflammatory factors. The link between chronodisruption or circadian rhythm impairment and IBD demonstrated by experimental and clinical studies illustrates the potential impact of circadian rhythms on treatment of these diseases. Future studies that investigate aspects of this subject are warranted.
