Expressão gênica temporal de Melanopsina (Opn4), Clock, Cry e Per e sua regulação por melatonina em células de Danio rerio / Temporal gene expression of melanopsin (Opn4), Clock, Cry and Per and regulation by melatonin in Danio rerio cells

Martins, Cássia Borges Lima Bulhões 17 December 2007 (has links)
Determinamos a presença de RNA mensageiro de melanopsina em células embrionárias ZEM-2S por PCR, o que foi confirmado por sequenciamento. Os experimentos de PCR para receptores de melatonina em cDNA de células ZEM-2S sugeriram a presença do subtipo MT2 em células ZEM-2S. Não foram identificadas bandas correspondentes ao peso esperado para MT1 ou Mel 1C. A identidade do receptor MT2 em ZEM-2S foi confirmada por sequenciamento. Determinamos ainda que, em células embrionárias ZEM-2S, os seis genes Cry conhecidos para Danio rerio estão expressos. Quando as células ZEM-2S foram expostas ao regime de claro e escuro (12C:12E), a expressão de melanopsina apresentou dois picos: no início da fase de claro ZT3, e no início da fase de escuro ZT12. Estes picos foram mantidos quando as células foram submetidas a escuro constante e, curiosamente, em todos os ZTs houve aumento significativo de expressão quando comparados aos ZTs equivalentes das células submetidas a ciclo claro:escuro. Melanopsina não apresentou ritmicidade de expressão em células ZEM-2S em nenhuma das condições. No entanto, há uma tendência a ritmicidade em células mantidas em 12C:12E, que desaparece em escuro constante. O pulso de melatonina aparentemente estimulou a expressão na fase de escuro subjetivo, mas sem significância estatística. O RNAm de Clock não exibiu ritmo em células ZEM-2S mantidas em condições de 12C:12E, escuro constante, ou em escuro constante recebendo pulso de melatonina. Há no entanto visível tendência a aumento de expressão na escotofase e durante o escuro subjetivo, a qual é abolida pelo pulso de melatonina. O RNAm de Per 1 e Cry 1b apresentou marcada ritmicidade em células submetidas a fotoperíodo 12C:12E. Vê-se aumento significativo 3 horas antes do início da fase de luz (ZT21), e acentuado declínio na fase de escuro. Em escuro constante, a ritmicidade de Per1 e Cry1b foi grandemente atenuada, mas persistiu. O pulso de melatonina foi ineficaz em recuperar a amplitude da ritmicidade observada em 12C:12E, e ainda mais, aboliu a ritmicidade para ambos os genes. Após um pulso de melatonina, os genes Clock, Per1 e Cry1b de células ZEM- 2S perderam a expressão rítmica que ainda persistia em escuro constante. É provável que melatonina, semelhantemente ao observado em outras preparações, iniba a fosforilação de CREB nas células ZEM-2S, assim reduzindo a ativação dos promotores dos genes do relógio. De qualquer forma, poderíamos interpretar que a melatonina traz os genes de relógio para um mesmo patamar, dessa forma reajustando o ritmo, independente da fase. Nosso estudo traz contribuições importantes para o conhecimento da fisiologia de relógios periféricos e abre novas perspectivas para futuras investigações sobre mecanismos subjacentes a ritmos em células isoladas e sua regulação por hormônios e luz. / The presence of melanopsin mRNA in ZEM-2S embryonic cells was determined through PCR, followed by sequencing. PCR experiments for melatonin receptors with ZEM-2S cell cDNA suggested the presence of the MT2 subtype. Bands corresponding to the expected weight for MT1 or Mel 1C were not identified. The identity of the MT2 receptor in ZEM-2S was confirmed through sequencing. We have also determined that the six Cry genes known in Danio rerio are expressed in ZEM-2S embryonic cells. When ZEM-2S cells were submitted to a light:dark (12L:12D) cycle, melanopsin expression presented two peaks, one at the beginning of the light phase (ZT3), the other at the beginning of the dark phase (ZT12). These peaks of expression remained when the cells were kept under constant darkness, and interestingly, a significant rise in expression was found in all ZTs when compared with the corresponding ZTs of cells kept under the light:dark cycle. Melanopsin did not exhibit a rhythmic expression in ZEM-2S cells in none of the conditions. However, there is a tendency of a rhythm in cells kept under 12L:12D, which disappears under constant darkness. Melatonin pulse seems to stimulate the expression during the subjective dark phase, but without any statistical significance. Clock mRNA did not present a rhythm in ZEM-2S cells kept either under 12L:12D, constant darkness or constant darkness with a melatonin pulse. However, there is a tendency of a rise in expression during the dark phase and during the subjective darkness, which is abolished by the melatonin pulse. Per 1 and Cry 1b mRNAs presented a robust rhythmicity in cells kept under 12L:12D. There is a significant rise three hours before the beginning of the light phase (ZT21), and sharp fall during the dark phase. Under constant darkness, Per1 and Cry1b rhythmicity, although present, was greatly attenuated. Melatonin pulse was not able to recover the amplitude observed under 12L:12D, moreover, it abolished rhythmicity of both genes. After melatonin pulse, Clock, Per1 and Cry1b genes in ZEM-2S cells lost the rhythmic expression, which still persisted under constant darkness. It is possible that 48 melatonin, as observed in other preparations, inhibits the phosphorylation of CREB in ZEM-2S cells, reducing the activation of the Clock genes promoters. Anyway, one could interpret that melatonin brings the Clock genes to the same level, therefore resetting the rhythm, independently of the phase. This study brings important contributions to the understanding of peripheral Clock physiology and opens new perspectives for future investigations of the underlying mechanisms of rhythms in isolated cells and their regulation by hormones and light.
