Abstract

Circadian molecular oscillation is disrupted in dysdifferentiation-mediated mouse kidney tumors resembling Wilms tumors.

  • Misregulation of cellular differentiation in mouse embryonic stem cells led to abnormal cell development and impaired circadian clock activity.
  • A significant reduction in CLOCK protein levels was observed in tumor cells, despite normal levels of CLOCK mRNA.
  • Similar loss of CLOCK protein was also found in human Wilms tumors.
  • These findings indicate a potential link between disrupted circadian clock function and the development of embryonal tumors.
