The biological clock controls metabolic functions in almost all organs, with nutrient metabolism, substrate processing, and detoxification in livers being circadian controlled. The clock gene Per1 is specifically elevated in mice exposed to toxins such as carbon tetrachloride, and its deficiency leads to a slowed metabolic rate of toxins and reduced liver injury and fibrosis. PER1 mediates toxin metabolism and could be a therapeutic target for toxin-induced hepatotoxicity.
The biological clock is an endogenous biological timing system, which controls metabolic functions in almost all organs. Nutrient metabolism, substrate processing, and detoxification are circadian controlled in livers. However, how the clock genes respond to toxins and influence toxicity keeps unclear. We identified the clock gene Per1 was specifically elevated in mice exposed to toxins such as carbon tetrachloride (CCl4). Mice lacking Per1 slowed down the metabolic rate of toxins including CCl4, capsaicin, and acetaminophen, exhibiting relatively more residues in the plasma. Liver injury and fibrosis induced by acute and chronic CCl4 exposure were markedly alleviated in Per1-deficient mice. These processes involved the binding of PER1 protein and hepatocyte nuclear factor-1alpha (HNF-1 alpha), which enhances the recruitment of HNF-1 alpha to cytochrome P450 2E1 (Cyp2e1) promoter and increases Cyp2e1 expression, thereby promoting metabolism for toxins in the livers. These results indicate that PER1 mediates the metabolism of toxins and appropriate suppression of Per1 response is a potential therapeutic target for toxin-induced hepatotoxicity.
