Genetic association studies linking sleep and circadian disturbances with disease susceptibility have mainly focused on changes in gene expression due to mutations, such as single-nucleotide polymorphisms. The interaction between sleep and/or circadian rhythms with the use of Alternative Polyadenylation (APA) has been largely undescribed, particularly in the context of other disorders. APA generates transcript isoforms by utilizing various polyadenylation sites (PASs) from the same gene affecting its mRNA translation, stability, localization, and subsequent function. Here we identified unique APAs expressed in rat brain over time-of-day, immediately following sleep deprivation, and the subsequent recovery period. From these data, we performed a secondary analysis of these sleep- or time-of-day associated PASs with recently described APA-linked human brain disorder susceptibility genes.","PeriodicalId":501704,"journal":{"name":"npj Biological Timing and Sleep","volume":" ","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s44323-024-00012-2.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142566005","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Of note, although the sleep cycle is reversed in day-active and night-active (nocturnal) mammals, both, produce melatonin at night under the control of the circadian clock. The effects of exogenous melatonin on sleep and sleepiness are relatively clear, but its endogenous role in sleep, particularly, in timing sleep onset (SO), remains poorly understood. We show in nocturnal mice that the increases in mid-nighttime sleep episodes, and the mid-nighttime decline in activity, are coupled to nighttime melatonin signaling. Furthermore, we show that endogenous melatonin modulates SO by reducing the threshold for wake-to-sleep transitioning. Such link between melatonin and SO timing may explain phenomena such as increased sleep propensity in circadian rhythm sleep disorders and chronic insomnia in patients with severely reduced nocturnal melatonin levels. Our findings demonstrate that melatonin’s role in sleep is evolutionarily conserved, effectively challenging the argument that melatonin cannot play a major role in sleep regulation in nocturnal mammals, where the main activity phase coincides with high melatonin levels.","PeriodicalId":501704,"journal":{"name":"npj Biological Timing and Sleep","volume":" ","pages":"1-13"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s44323-024-00013-1.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142566009","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The decline in plasma melatonin, which is a conserved phylogenetic molecule across all known aerobic creatures, is also a common feature in CVDs. The daily evening pineal melatonin surge synchronizes both the central pacemaker located in the hypothalamic suprachiasmatic nuclei and myriads of cellular clocks in the periphery (“chronobiotic effect”). Melatonin also has cytoprotective properties, acting primarily not only as an antioxidant by buffering free radicals but also by regulating inflammation. In CVDs, exogenous melatonin administration decreases nocturnal hypertension, improves systolic and diastolic blood pressure, reduces the pulsatility index in the internal carotid artery, decreases platelet aggregation, and reduces serum catecholamine levels. Melatonin evokes an increase in parasympathetic activity in the heart. Allometric calculations based on animal research show that melatonin’s cytoprotective benefits in CVDs may require high doses to be fully manifested (in the 100–200 mg/day range). If melatonin is expected to improve health in CVDs, the low doses currently used in clinical trials (i.e., 2–10 mg) are presumably insufficient.","PeriodicalId":501704,"journal":{"name":"npj Biological Timing and Sleep","volume":" ","pages":"1-18"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s44323-024-00007-z.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142160304","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The circadian clock synchronizes an organism with these environmental changes and alters their physiology in anticipation. Prediction of the probable timing of pathogen infection enables plants to prime their immune system without wasting resources or sacrificing growth. Here, we explore the relationship between the immune hormone salicylic acid (SA), and the circadian clock in Arabidopsis. We found that SA altered circadian rhythmicity through the SA receptor and master transcriptional coactivator, NPR1. Reciprocally, the circadian clock gates SA-induced transcript levels of NPR1-dependent immune genes. Furthermore, the clock gene CCA1 is essential for SA-induced immunity to the major bacterial plant pathogen Pseudomonas syringae. These results build upon existing studies of the relationship between the circadian clock and SA signalling and how interactions between these systems produce an effective immune response. Understanding how and why the immune response in plants is linked to the circadian clock is crucial in working towards improved crop productivity.","PeriodicalId":501704,"journal":{"name":"npj Biological Timing and Sleep","volume":" ","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s44323-024-00006-0.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142117954","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
