Abstract
Genetic disruption of the clock activator BMAL1 in skeletal myotubes and fibroblasts increased levels of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF1α) under hypoxic conditions.
- Disruption of BMAL1 decreased anaerobic glycolysis and mitochondrial respiration in muscle cells and fibroblasts.
- The absence of BMAL1 led to reduced transcription of HIF1α target genes involved in responding to low oxygen.
- Clock repressors CRY1/2 influenced HIF1α stability during hypoxia, suggesting a regulatory role in this process.
- HIF1α directly interacted with core clock gene promoters, indicating a connection between oxygen sensing and circadian rhythms.
- Exercise-induced expression of clock and HIF1α target genes varied depending on the time of day in normal mice.
