The mammalian core clock genes, Periods (Per1 and Per2), have tumor suppressor properties. Decreased expression of Per I and Per2 has been reported in several types of human cancers. On the other hand, overexpression of Per I or Per2 inhibits cancer cell growth in culture. The authors have shown that downregulation of Per1 or Per2 enhances cancer growth in vitro. These genes also regulate the amount of cell proliferation-related molecules, many of which are therapeutic targets. In animals, tumors grow with clear circadian organization, and Per1 and Per2 exert their tumor suppressor functions in a circadian time-dependent manner. Downregulation of Per1 or Per2 increases tumor growth only at certain specific times of the day. Per1 and Per2 differentially regulate tumor growth rhythm in vivo. These data suggest that the therapeutic efficacy of antiproliferation agents depends on the time of day of drug delivery. The optimal times of day may be shifted in tumors that have mutant Period genes.
