Abstract:
:In this paper, the circadian pattern of Clock and genes mediated by the Clock was investigated in peripheral lymphocytes of rats. Circadian rhythms of Clock are found under the regimes of constant darkness (DD) and 12-h light-12-h dark (LD12:12h), with the peak phase at CT7 and ZT21, respectively. Ten differential cDNA fragments were identified to be mediated by the Clock, including three known genes (catalase, myelin proteolipid protein, and histone acetylase), four known expressed sequence tags (ESTs), and three novel ESTs. Experiment of the RNA interference revealed that these ESTs were down-regulated by the Clock gene and three of them were identified as clock-controlled genes. Understanding of clock-mediated genes may lead to a new direction in drug design for control of circadian rhythms.
