Journal ArticleDOI

Clock-Talk: Interactions between central and peripheral circadian oscillators in mammals

TL;DR: In mice and rats, feeding-fasting rhythms, which are driven by the SCN through rest-activity cycles, are the most potent Zeitgebers for the circadian oscillators of peripheral organs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diurnal Oscillations in Liver Mass and Cell Size Accompany Ribosome Assembly Cycles.

TL;DR: In mice, liver mass, hepatocyte size, and protein levels follow a daily rhythm, whose amplitude depends on both feeding-fasting and light-dark cycles, and it is proposed that rRNAs not packaged into complete ribosomal subunits are polyadenylated by the poly(A) polymerase PAPD5 and degraded by the nuclear exosome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Blood-Borne Circadian Signal Stimulates Daily Oscillations in Actin Dynamics and SRF Activity

TL;DR: The data suggest that in mouse liver SRF is regulated via dramatic diurnal changes of actin dynamics, leading to the rhythmic translocation of the SRF coactivator Myocardin-related transcription factor-B (MRTF-B) into the nucleus.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Pollutant Diethylhexyl Phthalate Regulates Hepatic Energy Metabolism via Species-Specific PPARα-Dependent Mechanisms

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that DEHP exerts species-specific metabolic actions that rely to a large extent on PPARα signaling and highlight the metabolic importance of the species- specific activation of PPAR α by xenobiotic compounds.
Journal ArticleDOI

The adhesion molecule Necl-3/SynCAM-2 localizes to myelinated axons, binds to oligodendrocytes and promotes cell adhesion

TL;DR: It is proved that Necl-3/SynCAM-2 is a bona fide adhesion molecule that engages in homo- and heterophilic interactions with the other Necl family members, leading to cell aggregation.
