Cone and rod photoreceptors form images and send the information via retinal ganglion cells to the brain for image reconstruction. In contrast, nonimage-forming photoresponses vary widely from adjustment of pupil diameter to adaptation of the circadian clock. nonimage-forming responses are mediated by retinal ganglion cells expressing the photopigment melanopsin. Melanopsin-expressing cells constitute 1-2% of retinal ganglion cells in the adult mammalian retina, are intrinsically photosensitive, and integrate photic information from rods and cones to control nonimage-forming adaptation. Action spectra of ipRGCs and of melanopsin photopigment peak around 480 nm blue light. Understanding melanopsin function lets us recognize considerable physiological effects of blue light, which is increasingly important in our modern society that uses light-emitting diode. Misalignment of circadian rhythmicity is observed in numerous conditions, including aging, and is thought to be involved in the development of age-related disorders, such as depression, diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and cancer. The appropriate regulation of circadian rhythmicity by proper lighting is therefore essential. This perspective introduces the potential risks of excessive blue light for human health through circadian rhythm disruption and sleep deprivation.

Gene expression profiling and computational analysis revealed that pathway complexity increases from mice to humans, and as mammals age, there is predominantly an upregulation of pathways in all species. Two downregulated pathways, the electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation, were common among all four species in response to aging. Quantitative PCR, biochemical analysis, mitochondrial DNA measurements, and electron microscopy revealed a conserved age-dependent decrease in mitochondrial content, and a reduction in oxidative phosphorylation complexes in monkeys and humans. Western blot analysis of key proteins in mitochondrial biogenesis discovered that (i) an imbalance toward mitochondrial fusion occurs in aged skeletal muscle and (ii) mitophagy is not overtly affected, presumably leading to the observed accumulation of abnormally large, damaged mitochondria with age. Select transcript expression analysis uncovered that the skeletal inflammatory profile differentially increases with age, but is most pronounced in humans, while increased oxidative stress (as assessed by protein carbonyl adducts and 4-hydroxynonenal) is common among all species. Expression studies also found that there is unique dysregulation of the nutrient sensing pathways among the different species with age.

The polyadenylation site is recognized by a dynamic protein complex, among which the poly-adenine-binding protein nuclear1 plays a key role. Reduced poly-adenine-binding protein nuclear1 levels are found in aged muscles and are even lower in oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy patients. Oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy is a rare, late onset autosomal dominant myopathy, and is caused by an alanine expansion mutation in poly-adenine-binding protein nuclear1. Mutant poly-adenine-binding protein nuclear1 forms insoluble nuclear aggregates leading to depletion of functional poly-adenine-binding protein nuclear1 levels. In oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy models, increased utilization of proximal polyadenylation sites has been observed in tandem 3'-untranslated regions, and most often cause gene upregulation. However, global alterations in expression profiles canonly partly be explained by polyadenylation site switches within the most distal 3'-untranslated region. Most poly-adenine signals are found at the distal 3'-untranslated region, but a significant part is also found in internal gene regions, like introns, exons, and internal 3'-untranslated regions. Here, we investigated poly-adenine-binding protein nuclear1's role in polyadenylation site utilization in internal gene regions. In the quadriceps muscle of oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy mice expressing expPABPN1 we found significant polyadenylation site switches between gene regions in 17% of genes with polyadenylation site in multiple regions (<i>N</i> = 574; 5% False Discovery Rate).
