ABSTRACT
Circadian clock genes are found in almost every cell that has a nucleus; they regulate the rhythmic nature of all processes that are cyclical. Among the genes controlled by the circadian clock, there are numerous factors that regulate key processes in the functioning of the cell. Disturbances in the functioning of the circadian clock are associated with numerous disorders. A recent study has shown the key role of H2S in regulating circadian rhythm. In this study, we investigated the in vitro effect of pharmacological inhibition of cystathionine-ß-synthase (CBS) and/or cystathionine-γ-lyase (CSE) on the circadian dynamics of Per2 expression in serum-shocked NIH-3T3 cells. Alternatively, Cbs and Cse were knocked down by transfection with siRNA. The 48-h treatment of serum-shocked NIH-3T3 cells with 1 mM dl-propargylglycine (PAG), a specific CSE inhibitor, significantly decreased the amplitude and baseline expression of Per2. During exposure to an effective CBS and CSE inhibitor (aminooxyacetic acid [AOAA]), the amplitude of oscillation and baseline expression of Per2 significantly increased. Incubation of NIH-3T3 cells with both inhibitors also significantly increased the amplitude and baseline expression of Per2 messenger RNA (mRNA). siCbs or siCse knockdowan significantly reduced the baseline and amplitude of oscillation of Per2. In conclusion, we showed that CBS/CSE/H2S pathway participates in the regulation of the circadian clock system. PAG and AOAA, change the general expression and dynamics of Per2 genes, but the increase of amplitude and overall Per2 mRNA level due to exposure to AOAA is probably caused by factors other than CBS and CSE activity.
