Abstract
Objective To explore the association between circadian syndrome (CircS) and Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) with psoriasis. Compare the performance of MetS and CircS in predicting psoriasis. Methods An observational study used data from the NHANES surveys conducted in 2005-2006 and 2009-2014. We constructed three multiple logistic regression models to investigate the relationship between MetS, CircS, and their components with psoriasis. The performance of MetS and CircS in predicting psoriasis was compared using five machine-learning algorithms, and the best-performing model was explained via SHAP. Then, bidirectional Mendelian randomization analyses with the inverse variance weighted (IVW) as the primary method were employed to determine the causal effects of each component. Result A total of 9,531 participants were eligible for the study. Both the MetS (OR = 1.53, 95%CI: 1.07-2.17, P = 0.02) and CircS (OR = 1.40, 95%CI: 1.02-1.91, P = 0.039) positively correlated with psoriasis. Each CircS algorithmic model performs better than MetS, with Categorical Features+Gradient Boosting for CircS (the area under the precision-recall curve = 0.969) having the best prediction effect on psoriasis. Among the components of CircS, elevated blood pressure, depression symptoms, elevated waist circumference (WC), and short sleep contributed more to predicting psoriasis. Under the IVW methods, there were significant causal relationships between WC (OR = 1.52, 95%CI: 1.34-1.73, P = 1.35e-10), hypertension (OR = 1.68, 95%CI: 1.19-2.37, P = 0.003), depression symptoms (OR = 1.39, 95%CI: 1.17-1.65, P = 1.51e-4), and short sleep (OR = 2.03, 95%CI: 1.21-3.39, p = 0.007) with psoriasis risk. Conclusion CircS demonstrated superior predictive ability for prevalent psoriasis compared to MetS, with elevated blood pressure, depression symptoms, and elevated WC contributing more to the prediction.

[PMID: 38398026 PMCID: PMC10887245 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines12020424] [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: 01/10/2024] [Revised: 02/04/2024] [Accepted: 02/06/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
The present review focuses on the interactions of newly emerging environmental factors with miRNA-mediated regulation. In particular, we draw attention to the effects of phthalates, electromagnetic fields (EMFs) and a disrupted light/dark cycle. miRNAs are small non-coding RNA molecules with a tremendous regulatory impact, which is usually executed via gene expression inhibition. To address the capacity of environmental factors to influence miRNA-mediated regulation, the miR-34 family was selected for its well-described oncostatic and neuro-modulatory properties. The expression of miR-34 is in a tissue-dependent manner to some extent under the control of the circadian system. There is experimental evidence implicating that phthalates, EMFs and the circadian system interact with the miR-34 family, in both lines of its physiological functioning. The inhibition of miR-34 expression in response to phthalates, EMFs and light contamination has been described in cancer tissue and cell lines and was associated with a decline in oncostatic miR-34a signalling (decrease in p21 expression) and a promotion of tumorigenesis (increases in Noth1, cyclin D1 and cry1 expressions). The effects of miR-34 on neural functions have also been influenced by phthalates, EMFs and a disrupted light/dark cycle. Environmental factors shifted the effects of miR-34 from beneficial to the promotion of neurodegeneration and decreased cognition. Moreover, the apoptogenic capacity of miR-34 induced via phthalate administration in the testes has been shown to negatively influence germ cell proliferation. To conclude, as the oncostatic and positive neuromodulatory functions of the miR-34 family can be strongly influenced by environmental factors, their interactions should be taken into consideration in translational medicine.

Abstract
CONTEXT There is limited research on biological rhythms in bipolar disorder (BD) from the Indian setting despite its intricate relationship with metabolic syndrome (MS) and functioning. AIMS The study aimed to assess "trait marker" status of biological rhythms as well as correlates of biological rhythm impairment in euthymic BD. SETTING AND DESIGN Cross-sectional observational study over 6 months was carried out in hospital setting. MATERIALS AND METHODS Biological Rhythms Interview of Assessment in Neuropsychiatry Questionnaire (BRIAN) and Functioning Assessment Short Test (FAST) were used to assess biological rhythms and functioning, respectively. MS was diagnosed as per modified National Cholesterol Education Program- Adult Treatment Panel III. Depressive symptoms were assessed by the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS). Euthymia was defined as symptomatic remission for at least 8 weeks. Ethical approval was taken. RESULTS Fifty cases of euthymic BD and fifty apparently healthy controls were recruited. Total as well as certain domain-specific BRIAN and FAST scores were significantly higher in cases compared to controls. A significant positive correlation was found between the total BRIAN score with HDRS as well as FAST score. No correlation was obtained between biological rhythms and metabolic parameters. CONCLUSIONS Our results support the hypothesis that biological rhythm impairment is a trait marker in patients with BD. The study supports the need for management of subsyndromal depressive symptoms even in inter-episodic period.

Abstract
Background: Circadian rhythms are characterized by approximate 24-hour oscillations in physiological and behavioral processes. Disruptions in these endogenous rhythms, most commonly associated with shift work and/or lifestyle, are recognized to be detrimental to health. Several studies have demonstrated a high correlation between disrupted circadian rhythms and metabolic disease. The aim of this study was to determine which metabolic parameters correlate with physiological measures of circadian temperature amplitude (TempAmp) and stability (TempStab). Methods: Wrist skin temperature was measured in 34 subjects (ages 50 to 70, including lean, obese, and diabetic subjects) every 10 minutes for 7 consecutive days. Anthropometric measures and fasting blood draws were conducted to obtain data on metabolic parameters: body mass index, hemoglobin A1C, triglycerides, cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein, and low-density lipoprotein. A history of hypertension and current blood pressure was noted. Results: Analysis of the data indicated a substantial reduction in TempAmp and TempStab in subjects with metabolic syndrome (three or more risk factors). To determine the impact of individual interdependent metabolic factors on temperature rhythms, stepwise multilinear regression analysis was conducted using metabolic syndrome measurements. Interestingly, only triglyceride level was consistently correlated by the analysis. Triglyceride level was shown to contribute to 33% of the variability in TempAmp and 23% of the variability in TempStab. Conclusion: Our results demonstrate that elevated triglycerides are associated with diminished TempAmp and TempStab in human subjects, and triglycerides may serve as a primary metabolic predictor of circadian parameters.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to assess the disruption in biological rhythms and metabolic syndrome (MetS) in individuals with depressive episode. This was a cross-sectional, population-based study with a representative sample of 905 young adults. Current depressive episode were confirmed by a psychologist using the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI)-Plus. Self-reported biological rhythms were assessed using the Biological Rhythms Interview of Assessment in Neuropsychiatry (BRIAN). MetS was defined using modified NCEP/ATPIII criteria. Significant main effects of current depressive episode (p<0.001, η(2)=0.163) and MetS (p=0.001, η(2)=0.011) were observed on total BRIAN score. There was a significant interaction between depression and MetS in total biological rhythm scores (p=0.002, η(2)=0.011) as well as sleep (p=0.001, η(2)=0.016) and social domains (p<0.001, η(2)=0.014). In the depressive group, subjects with MetS had a higher disruption in total BRIAN scores (p=0.010), sleep domain (p=0.004), social domain (p=0.005) and in the eating pattern domain approached the level of significance (p=0.098), when compared to subjects with no MetS. The results of the present study showed that self-reported disruptions in biological rhythms are associated with key components of the MetS in community adults with MDD. The understanding of the complex interactions between biological rhythms, MetS and depression are important in the development of preventive and therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
The human hair follicle (HF) exhibits peripheral clock activity, with knock-down of clock genes (BMAL1 and PER1) prolonging active hair growth (anagen) and increasing pigmentation. Similarly, thyroid hormones prolong anagen and stimulate pigmentation in cultured human HFs. In addition they are recognized as key regulators of the central clock that controls circadian rhythmicity. Therefore, we asked whether thyroxine (T4) also influences peripheral clock activity in the human HF. Over 24 hours we found a significant reduction in protein levels of BMAL1 and PER1, with their transcript levels also decreasing significantly. Furthermore, while all clock genes maintained their rhythmicity in both the control and T4 treated HFs, there was a significant reduction in the amplitude of BMAL1 and PER1 in T4 (100 nM) treated HFs. Accompanying this, cell-cycle progression marker Cyclin D1 was also assessed appearing to show an induced circadian rhythmicity by T4 however, this was not significant. Contrary to short term cultures, after 6 days, transcript and/or protein levels of all core clock genes (BMAL1, PER1, clock, CRY1, CRY2) were up-regulated in T4 treated HFs. BMAL1 and PER1 mRNA was also up-regulated in the HF bulge, the location of HF epithelial stem cells. Together this provides the first direct evidence that T4 modulates the expression of the peripheral molecular clock. Thus, patients with thyroid dysfunction may also show a disordered peripheral clock, which raises the possibility that short term, pulsatile treatment with T4 might permit one to modulate circadian activity in peripheral tissues as a target to treat clock-related disease.
