The Circadian Clock Maintains Cardiac Function by Regulating Mitochondrial Metabolism in Mice

Abstract: Cardiac function is highly dependent on oxidative energy, which is produced by mitochondrial respiration. Defects in mitochondrial function are associated with both structural and functional abnormalities in the heart. Here, we show that heart-specific ablation of the circadian clock gene Bmal1 results in cardiac mitochondrial defects that include morphological changes and functional abnormalities, such as reduced enzymatic activities within the respiratory complex. Mice without cardiac Bmal1 function show a s… Show more

“…Dependency of mitochondrial morphology on clock genes was also reported in mouse skeletal muscle (28) and heart (17) and is linked to impaired mitochondrial function in these organs. Mitochondria in macrophages exhibit daily morphological changes in vitro as well (29).…”

“…Indeed, the transcript levels of several nuclear-encoded mitochondrial proteins are altered in clock genes mutant mice (17, 18). Moreover, BMAL1 was shown to bind their promoters by ChIP (19, 20).…”

“…Remarkably, the TORC1 pathway was also shown to regulate translation of nucleus-encoded mitochondrial genes and mitochondrial activity (61). Incidentally, mitochondrial oxidative activity is rhythmic and under the control of the circadian clock (62)(63)(64), and this rhythmic activity is attributed in part to the clockdependent regulation of NAD+ synthesis through the transcriptional regulation of the Nampt gene (65,66). To what extend the rhythmic synthesis of mitochondrial proteins modulated by the circadian clock also contributes to this phenomenon remains to be demonstrated.…”

“…The inactivation of the adipocyte clock compromised a time-dependent feedback from adipose to the brain that appears to be necessary for the timing of feeding behavior [30]. The importance of the circadian clock in metabolic fitness has been demonstrated in liver and heart, where loss of circadian rhythmicity in mitochondrial function leads in reduced respiratory output, increased oxidative damage, and abnormal mitochondrial morphology [14, 49]. Similarly, deletion of the transcriptional activators of the circadian clock in neurons of the central nervous system results in increased oxidative damage in the brain [50].…”
