Central and Peripheral Signals Set the Circadian Liver Clock
Central and Peripheral Signals Set the Circadian Liver Clock
azi L Gross | doi:10.1371/journal.pbio.0050050
The importance of maintaining a smooth-running circadian
clock becomes painfully evident whenever we suffer severe
jet lag. Traveling through multiple time zones decouples our
biological rhythms from the natural cycle of light and dark
we’re used to. These light–dark cycles synchronize everything
from basic metabolic processes to feeding behavior. People
with total blindness, who cannot perceive these light cues
because they lack functional retinal photoreceptors, have
disrupted circadian rhythms. As mammals, we perceive light
cues through retinal photoreceptors that relay the signals to
a cluster of some 16,000 neurons in the hypothalamus called
the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN).
The Greenwich Mean Time of the circadian system, the
SCN sets the cycle of the circadian clocks found in nearly
every cell in the body. “Phase adjustments” in peripheral
tissues make sure each clock follows the same schedule. Phase
adjustments can be set indirectly, through biological rhythms
that are themselves SCN-dependent, such as feeding cycles or
body temperature. How these synchronizing cues operate at
the molecular level remains obscure. Of particular interest is
whether cyclically expressed genes in peripheral tissues are
controlled by local circadian clocks or by systemic cues that
are directly or indirectly controlled by the SCN pacemaker.
In a new study, Beno?t Kornmann, Ueli Schibler, and
colleagues investigated this question by focusing on circadian
genes in the liver. To tell whether genes were under local
or systemic control, they needed to shut down the local
circadian oscillators (the molecular mechanisms responsible
for cyclical gene expression) in the liver. They solved that
problem by generating a mouse strain with conditionally
active liver clocks that they could turn on or off at will.
To create their model, the authors modi?ed a transcription
