Abstract

Background

Sleep is a conserved physiological phenomenon across species. It is mainly controlled by two processes: a circadian clock that regulates the timing of sleep and a homeostat that regulates the sleep drive. Even cnidarians, such as Hydra and jellyfish, which lack a brain, display sleep-like states. However, the manner in which environmental cues affect sleep-like states in these organisms remains unknown. In the present study, we investigated the effects of light and temperature cycles on the sleep-like state in Hydra vulgaris.

Results

Our findings indicate that Hydra responds to temperature cycles with a difference of up to 5° C, resulting in decreased sleep duration under light conditions and increased sleep duration in dark conditions. Furthermore, our results reveal that Hydra prioritizes temperature changes over light as an environmental cue. Additionally, our body resection experiments show tissue-specific responsiveness in the generation ofthe sleep-like state under different environmental cues. Specifically, the upper body can generate the sleep-like state in response to a single environmental cue. In contrast, the lower body did not respond to 12-h light–dark cycles at a constant temperature.

Conclusions

These findings indicate that both light and temperature influence the regulation of the sleep-like state in Hydra. Moreover, these observations highlight the existence of distinct regulatory mechanisms that govern patterns of the sleep-like state in brainless organisms, suggesting the potential involvement of specific regions for responsiveness of environmental cues for regulation of the sleep-like state.

The symbiotic hydra Hydra viridissima has a stable symbiotic relationship with the green alga Chlorella . This hydra appears to cospeciate with the symbiotic alga, and some strains are known to have strain-specific host/symbiont combinations. To investigate the mechanism of the specificity between host and symbiont, we explored the effect of the removal or exchange of symbionts in two distantly related H. viridissima strains (K10 and M9). In the K10 strain, severe morphological and behavioural changes were found in symbiont-removed and symbiont-exchanged polyps. Interestingly, both polyps showed a similar gene expression pattern. The gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis revealed that the removal or exchange of symbionts caused the downregulation of genes involved in the electron transport chain and the upregulation of genes involved in translation in the K10 strain. On the other hand, symbiont-removed and symbiont-exchanged M9 polyps showed modest changes in their morphology and behaviour compared with the K10 strain. Furthermore, the patterns of the gene expression changes in the M9 strain were quite different between the symbiont-removed and symbiont-exchanged polyps. Our results suggested that the regulation of energy balance is one of the crucial mechanisms for maintaining symbiotic relationships in green hydra, and this mechanism differs between the strains.

High ambient temperatures (HT) can increase diencephalic neuropeptide Y (NPY) expression, and central injection of NPY attenuates heat stress responses while inducing an antioxidative state in the chick spleen. However, there is a lack of knowledge about NPY receptor expression, and its regulation by HT, in the chick spleen. In the current study, male chicks were used to measure the expression of NPY receptors in the spleen and other immune organs under acute (30 vs. 40 ± 1°C for 3 h) or chronic (30 vs. 40 ± 1°C for 3 h/day for 3 days) exposure to HT and in response to central injection of NPY (47 pmol, 188 pmol, or 1 nmol). We found that NPY-Y4 receptor mRNA was expressed in the spleen, but not in other immune organs studied. Immunofluorescence staining revealed that NPY-Y4 receptors were localized in the splenic pulp. Furthermore, NPY-Y4 receptor mRNA increased in the chick spleen under both acute and chronic exposure to HT. Central NPY at two dose levels (47 and 188 pmol) and a higher dose (1 nmol) did not increase splenic NPY-Y4 receptor mRNA expression or splenic epinephrine under HT (35 ± 1°C), and significantly increased 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycol (MHPG) concentrations under HT (40 ± 1°C). In conclusion, increased expression of NPY-Y4 receptor mRNA in the spleen under HT suggest that Y4 receptor may play physiological roles in response to HT in male chicks.

The circadian clock in Drosophila is governed by a neural network comprising approximately 150 neurons, known as clock neurons, which are intricately interconnected by various neurotransmitters. The neuropeptides that play functional roles in these clock neurons have been identified; however, the roles of some neuropeptides, such as Trissin, remain unclear. Trissin is expressed in lateral dorsal clock neurons (LNds), while its receptor, TrissinR, is expressed in dorsal neuron 1 (DN1) and LNds. In this study, we investigated the role of the Trissin/TrissinR signaling pathway within the circadian network in Drosophila melanogaster. Analysis involving our newly generated antibody against the Trissin precursor revealed that Trissin expression in the LNds cycles in a circadian manner. Behavioral analysis further demonstrated that flies with Trissin or TrissinR knockout or knockdown showed delayed evening activity offset under constant darkness conditions. Notably, this observed delay in evening activity offset in Trissin<sup>RNAi</sup> flies was restored via the additional knockdown of Ion transport peptide (ITP), indicating that the Trissin/TrissinR signaling pathway transmits information via ITP. Therefore, this pathway may be a key regulator of the timing of evening activity offset termination, orchestrating its effects in collaboration with the neuropeptide, ITP.

<title>Abstract</title>The most enigmatic of the canonical properties of circadian clocks is temperature compensation where circadian period length is stable across a wide temperature range despite the temperature dependence of most biochemical reactions. While the core mechanisms of circadian clocks have been well described, the molecular mechanisms of temperature compensation are poorly understood especially in animals. A major gap is the lack of temperature compensation mutants that do not themselves unambiguously affect the temperature dependence of the encoded protein. Here we show that null alleles of two genes encoding components of a complex important for translation of the core clock component <italic>period</italic> in circadian pacemaker neurons robustly alter the temperature dependence of circadian behavioral period length. These changes are accompanied by parallel temperature dependent changes in oscillations of the PER protein and are consistent with the model that these translation factors mediate the temperature-dependence of PER translation. Consistent with findings from modeling studies, we find that translation of the key negative feedback factor PER plays an instrumental role in temperature compensation.

睡眠は動物において普遍的にみられる現象である。哺乳類はもちろんのこと、ショウジョウバエや線虫も睡眠をとる。近年の研究により、睡眠の起源は中枢神経系をもたない刺胞動物まで遡ることが明らかになった。われわれは、刺胞動物の一種であるヒドラをモデルに据え、睡眠の進化的起源を探る研究を展開している。ヒドラには、可逆的な行動静止、反応性の低下、睡眠恒常性を伴った睡眠様状態が存在し、さらにはその制御因子が他の生物と共通していることがわかった。ヒドラを用いた睡眠研究は、「生物はなぜ眠るのか」という問いに答える一助となるだろう。(著者抄録)

睡眠研究はヒトやマウスなどの哺乳類を対象として発展してきたが、近年ではショウジョウバエや線虫などの無脊椎動物をモデル生物として用いた研究も盛んになっている。その理由のひとつに、睡眠制御における分子機構の進化的保存性の高さがあげられる。ならば、より下等な動物をモデル系として睡眠研究に導入することができれば、その分子機構の解明に貢献し、さらには睡眠現象の起源にまで迫ることができるかもしれない。筆者らは最近、進化的に脳を獲得する以前の動物群である刺胞動物のヒドラにも睡眠現象が存在していることを発見した。また、その分子機構が高等動物との間で進化的に保存されていることも明らかにした。ヒドラの持つ実験動物としてのさまざまな特徴をいかすことで、睡眠研究に新知見をもたらす新たなモデル系を確立する道がひらけたといえる。(著者抄録)
Ataxin-2: A versatile posttranscriptional regulator and its implication in neural function. Reviewed

Ataxin-2 (ATXN2) is a eukaryotic RNA-binding protein that is conserved from yeast to human. Genetic expansion of a poly-glutamine tract in human ATXN2 has been implicated in several neurodegenerative diseases, likely acting through gain-of-function effects. Emerging evidence, however, suggests that ATXN2 plays more direct roles in neural function via specific molecular and cellular pathways. ATXN2 and its associated protein complex control distinct steps in posttranscriptional gene expression, including poly-A tailing, RNA stabilization, microRNA-dependent gene silencing, and translational activation. Specific RNA substrates have been identified for the functions of ATXN2 in aspects of neural physiology, such as circadian rhythms and olfactory habituation. Genetic models of ATXN2 loss-of-function have further revealed its significance in stress-induced cytoplasmic granules, mechanistic target of rapamycin signaling, and cellular metabolism, all of which are crucial for neural homeostasis. Accordingly, we propose that molecular evolution has been selecting the ATXN2 protein complex as an important trans-acting module for the posttranscriptional control of diverse neural functions. This explains how ATXN2 intimately interacts with various neurodegenerative disease genes, and suggests that loss-of-function effects of ATXN2 could be therapeutic targets for ATXN2-related neurological disorders. This article is categorized under: RNA in Disease and Development > RNA in Disease RNA Interactions with Proteins and Other Molecules > Protein-RNA Interactions: Functional Implications.

近年我々のグループは刺胞動物のヒドラが眠っていることを分子レベルで実証し、これにより、睡眠の起源は動物が脳を獲得するよりも古いことが示された。そこで、次の問いとして、『神経系は睡眠に必須なのか』を検証する。ヒドラでは薬剤処理によって神経系を喪失させることが可能である。この全く動けない『寝たきり』状態のヒドラが眠っているのかどうかを分子レベルで判定し、睡眠には神経系が必須要素なのかどうかを判断する。これは、これまで当然と考えられてきた「睡眠は神経系が担う」という通説に挑む研究である。

The final goal of this study is to elucidate the expression mechanism of the late-life cycler, which begins to show a clear circadian oscillation with aging in the Drosophila brain. First, we analyzed changes of genome modification by aging using ATAC-seq analysis. We also performed bioinformatic analyses, clustering, upstream analysis, and KEGG analysis, of gene expression profiles in young and old flies. In conclusion, we identified one GATA factor, whose expression is induced with age, as one of candidates of the master genes for late-life cycler, as well as two transcription factors related to the GATA factor.
