RESUMO
Circadian rhythms play a crucial role in regulating various physiological processes, including specific immune functions that enhance the body's ability to anticipate and respond to threats effectively. However, research on the impact of circadian rhythms on osteoimmunology remains limited. Our study uncovered that circadian disruption leads to bone mass loss by reducing the population of Treg cells in the bone marrow. Furthermore, we observed a significant decrease in serum IL-10 cytokine levels in jet lagged mice. In our current investigation, we explored the anti-osteoclastogenic effects of IL-10 and found that IL-10 inhibits RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis in a dose-dependent manner. Our findings suggest that the diminished anti-osteoclastogenic properties of Tregs under circadian disruption are mediated by IL-10 cytokine production. Moreover, our discoveries propose that administration of IL-10 or butyrate could potentially reverse bone mass loss in individuals experiencing jet lag.

Introduction: Macrophage dysfunction is a common feature of inflammatory disorders such as asthma, which is characterized by a strong circadian rhythm. Methods and results: We monitored the protein expression pattern of the molecular circadian clock in human peripheral blood monocytes from healthy, allergic, and asthmatic donors during a whole day. Monocytes cultured of these donors allowed us to examine circadian protein expression in human monocyte-derived macrophages, M1- and M2- polarized macrophages. In monocytes, particularly from allergic asthmatics, the oscillating expression of circadian proteins CLOCK, BMAL, REV ERBs, and RORs was significantly altered. Similar changes in BMAL1 were observed in polarized macrophages from allergic donors and in tissue-resident macrophages from activated precision cut lung slices. We confirmed clock modulating, anti-inflammatory, and lung-protective properties of the inverse ROR agonist SR1001 by reduced secretion of macrophage inflammatory protein and increase in phagocytosis. Using a house dust mite model, we verified the therapeutic effect of SR1001 in vivo. Discussion: Overall, our data suggest an interaction between the molecular circadian clock and monocytes/macrophages effector function in inflammatory lung diseases. The use of SR1001 leads to inflammatory resolution in vitro and in vivo and represents a promising clock-based therapeutic approach for chronic pulmonary diseases such as asthma.

Malaria is a serious vector-borne disease characterized by periodic episodes of high fever and strong immune responses that are coordinated with the daily synchronized parasite replication cycle inside RBCs. As immune cells harbor an autonomous circadian clock that controls various aspects of the immune response, we sought to determine whether the intensity of the immune response to Plasmodium spp., the parasite causing malaria, depends on time of infection. To do this, we developed a culture model in which mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages are stimulated with RBCs infected with Plasmodium berghei ANKA (iRBCs). Lysed iRBCs, but not intact iRBCs or uninfected RBCs, triggered an inflammatory immune response in bone marrow-derived macrophages. By stimulating at four different circadian time points (16, 22, 28, or 34 h postsynchronization of the cells' clock), 24-h rhythms in reactive oxygen species and cytokines/chemokines were found. Furthermore, the analysis of the macrophage proteome and phosphoproteome revealed global changes in response to iRBCs that varied according to circadian time. This included many proteins and signaling pathways known to be involved in the response to Plasmodium infection. In summary, our findings show that the circadian clock within macrophages determines the magnitude of the inflammatory response upon stimulation with ruptured iRBCs, along with changes of the cell proteome and phosphoproteome.

Circadian clock perturbation frequently occurs in cancer and facilitates tumor progression by regulating malignant growth and shaping the immune microenvironment. Emerging evidence has indicated that clock genes are disrupted in melanoma and linked to immune escape. Herein, we found that the expression of retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptor-α (RORA) is downregulated in melanoma patients and that patients with higher RORA expression have a better prognosis after immunotherapy. Additionally, RORA was significantly positively correlated with T-cell infiltration and recruitment. Overexpression or activation of RORA stimulated cytotoxic T-cell-mediated antitumor responses. RORA bound to the CD274 promoter and formed an inhibitory complex with HDAC3 to suppress PD-L1 expression. In contrast, the DEAD-box helicase family member DDX3X competed with HDAC3 for binding to RORA, and DDX3X overexpression promoted RORA release from the suppressive complex and thereby increased PD-L1 expression to generate an inhibitory immune environment. The combination of a RORA agonist with an anti-CTLA4 antibody synergistically increased T-cell antitumor immunity in vivo. A score based on the combined expression of HDAC3, DDX3X, and RORA correlated with immunotherapy response in melanoma patients. Together, this study elucidates a mechanism of clock component-regulated antitumor immunity, which will help inform the use of immunotherapy and lead to improved outcomes for melanoma patients receiving combined therapeutic treatments. Significance: RORA forms a corepressor complex to inhibit PD-L1 expression and activate antitumor T-cell responses, indicating that RORA is a potential target and predictive biomarker to improve immunotherapy response in melanoma patients.

The circadian clock is a critical regulator of immunity, and this circadian control of immune modulation has an essential function in host defense and tumor immunosurveillance. Here we use a single-cell RNA sequencing approach and a genetic model of colorectal cancer to identify clock-dependent changes to the immune landscape that control the abundance of immunosuppressive cells and consequent suppression of cytotoxic CD8+ T cells. Of these immunosuppressive cell types, PD-L1-expressing myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) peak in abundance in a rhythmic manner. Disruption of the epithelial cell clock regulates the secretion of cytokines that promote heightened inflammation, recruitment of neutrophils and the subsequent development of MDSCs. We also show that time-of-day anti-PD-L1 delivery is most effective when synchronized with the abundance of immunosuppressive MDSCs. Collectively, these data indicate that circadian gating of tumor immunosuppression informs the timing and efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Time of day affects how well the immune system responds to viral or bacterial infections. While it is well known that the immune system is regulated by the circadian clock, the dynamic origin of time-of-day-dependent immunity remains unclear. In this paper, we studied the circadian control of immune response upon infection of influenza A virus through mathematical modeling. Dynamic simulation analyses revealed that the time-of-day-dependent immunity was rooted in the relative phase between the circadian clock and the pulse of viral infection. The relative phase, which depends on the time the infection occurs, plays a crucial role in the immune response. It can drive the immune system to one of two distinct bistable states, a high inflammatory state with a higher mortality rate or a safe state characterized by low inflammation. The mechanism we found here also explained why the same species infected by different viruses has different time-of-day-dependent immunities. Further, the time-of-day-dependent immunity was found to be abolished when the immune system was regulated by an impaired circadian clock with decreased oscillation amplitude or without oscillations.

Molecular timing mechanisms known as circadian clocks drive endogenous 24-h rhythmicity in most physiological functions, including innate and adaptive immunity. Consequently, the response to immune challenge such as vaccination might depend on the time of day of exposure. This study assessed whether the time of day of vaccination (TODV) is associated with the subsequent immune and clinical response by conducting a systematic review of previous studies. The Cochrane Library, PubMed, Google, Medline, and Embase were searched for studies that reported TODV and immune and clinical outcomes, yielding 3114 studies, 23 of which met the inclusion criteria. The global severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 vaccination program facilitated investigation of TODV and almost half of the studies included reported data collected during the COVID-19 pandemic. There was considerable heterogeneity in the demography of participants and type of vaccine, and most studies were biased by failure to account for immune status prior to vaccination, self-selection of vaccination time, or confounding factors such as sleep, chronotype, and shiftwork. The optimum TODV was concluded to be afternoon (5 studies), morning (5 studies), morning and afternoon (1 study), midday (1 study), and morning or late afternoon (1 study), with the remaining 10 studies reporting no effect. Further research is required to understand the relationship between TODV and subsequent immune outcome and whether any clinical benefit outweighs the potential effect of this intervention on vaccine uptake.

The epidermis is the outermost layer of the skin and the body's primary barrier to external pathogens; however, the early epidermal immune response remains to be mechanistically understood. We show that the chemokine CXCL14, produced by epidermal keratinocytes, exhibits robust circadian fluctuations and initiates innate immunity. Clearance of the skin pathogen Staphylococcus aureus in nocturnal mice was associated with CXCL14 expression, which was high during subjective daytime and low at night. In contrast, in marmosets, a diurnal primate, circadian CXCL14 expression was reversed. Rhythmically expressed CXCL14 binds to S. aureus DNA and induces inflammatory cytokine production by activating Toll-like receptor (TLR)9-dependent innate pathways in dendritic cells and macrophages underneath the epidermis. CXCL14 also promoted phagocytosis by macrophages in a TLR9-independent manner. These data indicate that circadian production of the epidermal chemokine CXCL14 rhythmically suppresses skin bacterial proliferation in mammals by activating the innate immune system.

BACKGROUND: Colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) is a malignancy with a high incidence and is associated with poor quality of life. Dysfunction of circadian clock genes and disruption of normal rhythms are associated with the occurrence and progression of many cancer types. However, studies that systematically describe the prognostic value and immune-related functions of circadian clock genes in COAD are lacking. METHODS: Genomic data obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database was analyzed for expression level, mutation status, potential biological functions, and prognostic performance of core circadian clock genes in COAD. Their correlations with immune infiltration and TMB/MSI score were analyzed by Spearman's correlation analysis. Pearson's correlation analysis was performed to analyze their associations with drug sensitivity. Lasso Cox regression analysis was performed to construct a prognosis signature. Moreover, an mRNA-miRNA-lncRNA regulatory axis was also detected by ceRNA network. RESULTS: In COAD tissues, the mRNA levels of CLOCK, CRY1, and NR1D1 were increased, while the mRNA levels of ARNTL, CRY2, PER1, PER3, and RORA were decreased. We also summarized the relative genetic mutation variation landscape. GO and KEGG pathway analyses demonstrated that these circadian clock genes were primarily correlated with the regulation of circadian rhythms and glucocorticoid receptor signaling pathways. COAD patients with high CRY2, NR1D1, and PER2 expression had worse prognosis. A prognostic model constructed based on the 9 core circadian clock genes predicted the COAD patients' overall survival with medium to high accuracy. A significant association between prognostic circadian clock genes and immune cell infiltration was found. Moreover, the lncRNA KCNQ1OT1/hsa-miRNA-32-5p/PER2/CRY2 regulatory axis in COAD was also detected through a mRNA-miRNA-lncRNA network. CONCLUSION: Our results identified CRY2, NR1D1, and PER2 as potential prognostic biomarkers for COAD patients and correlated their expression with immune cell infiltration. The lncRNA KCNQ1OT1/hsa-miRNA-32-5p/PER2/CRY2 regulatory axis was detected in COAD and might play a vital role in the occurrence and progression of COAD.

To unravel the pathogenesis of obesity and its complications, we investigate the interplay between circadian clocks and NF-κB pathway in human adipose tissue. The circadian clock function is impaired in omental fat from obese patients. ChIP-seq analyses reveal that the core clock activator, BMAL1 binds to several thousand target genes. NF-κB competes with BMAL1 for transcriptional control of some targets and overall, BMAL1 chromatin binding occurs in close proximity to NF-κB consensus motifs. Obesity relocalizes BMAL1 occupancy genome-wide in human omental fat, thereby altering the transcription of numerous target genes involved in metabolic inflammation and adipose tissue remodeling. Eventually, clock dysfunction appears at early stages of obesity in mice and is corrected, together with impaired metabolism, by NF-κB inhibition. Collectively, our results reveal a relationship between NF-κB and the molecular clock in adipose tissue, which may contribute to obesity-related complications.

The circadian system temporally regulates physiology to maintain homeostasis. Co-opting and disrupting circadian signals appear to be distinct attributes that are functionally important for the development of a tumor and can enable or give rise to the hallmarks that tumors use to facilitate their initiation, growth and progression. Because circadian signals are also strong regulators of immune cell proliferation, trafficking and exhaustion states, they play a role in how tumors respond to immune-based cancer therapeutics. While immuno-oncology has heralded a paradigm shift in cancer therapeutics, greater accuracy is needed to increase our capability of predicting who will respond favorably to, or who is likely to experience the troubling adverse effects of, immunotherapy. Insights into circadian signals may further refine our understanding of biological determinants of response and help answer the fundamental question of whether certain perturbations in circadian signals interfere with the activity of immune checkpoint inhibitors. Here we review the body of literature highlighting circadian disruption as a cancer promoter and synthesize the burgeoning evidence suggesting circadian signals play a role in how tumors respond to immune-based anti-cancer therapeutics. The goal is to develop a framework to advance our understanding of the relationships between circadian markers, cancer biology, and immunotherapeutics. Bolstered by this new understanding, these relationships may then be pursued in future clinical studies to improve our ability to predict which patients will respond favorably to, and avoid the adverse effects of, traditional and immune-based cancer therapeutics.

The circadian clock is an endogenous timekeeper system that controls and optimizes biological processes, which are consistent with a master circadian clock and peripheral clocks and are controlled by various genes. Notably, the disruption of circadian clock genes has been identified to affect a wide range of ailments, including cancers. The cancer-immunity cycle is composed of seven major steps, namely cancer cell antigen release and presentation, priming and activation of effector immunity cells, trafficking, and infiltration of immunity to tumors, and elimination of cancer cells. Existing evidence indicates that the circadian clock functions as a gate that govern many aspects of the cancer-immunity cycle. In this review, we highlight the importance of the circadian clock during tumorigenesis, and discuss the potential role of the circadian clock in the cancer-immunity cycle. A comprehensive understanding of the regulatory function of the circadian clock in the cancer-immunity cycle holds promise in developing new strategies for the treatment of cancer. Video Abstract.

Immune responses are gated to protect the host against specific antigens and microbes, a task that is achieved through antigen- and pattern-specific receptors. Less appreciated is that in order to optimize responses and to avoid collateral damage to the host, immune responses must be additionally gated in intensity and time. An evolutionary solution to this challenge is provided by the circadian clock, an ancient time-keeping mechanism that anticipates environmental changes and represents a fundamental property of immunity. Immune responses, however, are not exclusive to immune cells and demand the coordinated action of nonhematopoietic cells interspersed within the architecture of tissues. Here, we review the circadian features of innate immunity as they encompass effector immune cells as well as structural cells that orchestrate their responses in space and time. We finally propose models in which the central clock, structural elements, and immune cells establish multidirectional circadian circuits that may shape the efficacy and strength of immune responses and other physiological processes.

Circadian rhythms influence daily molecular oscillations in gene/protein expression and aspects of biology and physiology, including behaviour, body temperature and sleep-wake cycles. These circadian rhythms have been associated with a number of metabolic, immune and microbial changes that correlate with health and susceptibility to disease, including infection. While light is the main inducer of circadian rhythms, other factors, including the microbiota, can have important effects on peripheral rhythms. The microbiota have been of significant interest to many investigators over the past decade, with the development of molecular techniques to identify large numbers of species and their function. These studies have shown microbial associations with disease susceptibility, and some of these have demonstrated that alterations in microbiota cause disease. Microbial circadian oscillations impact host metabolism and immunity directly and indirectly. Interestingly, microbial oscillations also regulate host circadian rhythms, and the host circadian rhythms in turn modulate microbial composition. Thus, it is of considerable interest and importance to understand the crosstalk between circadian rhythms and microbiota and especially the microbial influences on the host. In this review, we aim to discuss the role of circadian microbial oscillations and how they influence host immunity. In addition, we discuss how host circadian rhythms can also modulate microbial rhythms. We also discuss potential connections between microbes and circadian rhythms and how these may be used therapeutically to maximize clinical success.

Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is a complex pathophysiological process that often times occurs in liver transplantation, hepatectomy, and ischemic shock. Aberrant activation of inflammatory responses has been implicated in hepatic I/R injury. In this study, we aimed to investigate the role of circadian clock gene Rev-erbα (a well-known regulator of inflammation) in hepatic I/R injury. We first showed that Rev-erbα ablation sensitized mice to hepatic I/R injury as evidenced by higher levels of plasma alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase, an increased histological score, as well as enhanced hepatic myeloperoxidase activity in Rev-erbα-/- mice. More severe hepatic I/R injury in Rev-erbα-/- mice was accompanied by higher expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, exacerbated activation of Nlrp3 inflammasome, and more extensive infiltration of inflammatory cells. Moreover, pharmacological activation of Rev-erbα by SR9009 significantly alleviated the hepatic damage and inflammatory responses. In addition, I/R operation started at ZT18 (corresponding to low Rev-erbα expression) caused more severe liver damage and inflammatory responses in wild-type mice as compared to operation started at ZT6 (corresponding to high Rev-erbα expression), supporting a protective effect of Rev-erbα on hepatic I/R injury. Collectively, Rev-erbα protects hepatic I/R injury probably via repression of inflammatory responses, and targeting Rev-erbα may be a promising approach for management of hepatic I/R injury.

The innate immune system senses "non-self" molecules derived from pathogens (PAMPs) as well as endogenous damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) and promotes sterile inflammation that is necessary for injury resolution, tissue repair/regeneration, and homeostasis. The NOD-, LRR- and pyrin domain containing protein 3 (NLRP3) is an innate immune signaling complex whose assembly and activation can be triggered by various signals ranging from microbial molecules to ATP or the abnormal accumulation of crystals, thus leading to IL-1ß and IL-18 maturation and secretion. Deregulation of the NLRP3 signaling cascade is associated with numerous inflammatory and metabolic diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, gout, atherosclerosis or type 2 diabetes. Interestingly, the circadian clock controls numerous inflammatory processes while clock disruption leads to or exacerbates inflammation. Recently, the biological clock was demonstrated to control NLRP3 expression and activation, thereby controlling IL-1ß and IL-18 secretion in diverse tissues and immune cells, particularly macrophages. Circadian oscillations of NLRP3 signaling is lost in models of clock disruption, contributing to the development of peritonitis, hepatitis, or colitis. Sterile inflammation is also an important driver of atherosclerosis, and targeting the production of IL-1ß has proven to be a promising approach for atherosclerosis management in humans. Interestingly, the extent of injury after fulminant hepatitis or myocardial infarction is time-of-day dependent under the control of the clock, and chronotherapy represents a promising approach for the management of pathologies involving deregulation of NLRP3 signaling.

Each day, the gastrointestinal tract encounters an influx of microbial and nutrient-derived signals and its physiological activities often adhere to a circadian rhythm. As such, group 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3s) that reside in the intestinal mucosa must function within a highly dynamic environment. In this Progress article, we highlight a series of recent reports that have characterized the circadian clock in ILC3s. We discuss how these studies have illustrated the roles of environmental cues and clock genes in regulating ILC3 biology and consider the implications for intestinal immunity.
