          Abstract

          Background: Circadian rhythms have a considerable impact on the daily physiology of the heart, and their disruption causes pathology. Several studies have revealed that circadian disruption impaired cardiac remodeling after myocardial infarction (MI); however, the underlying brain-heart mechanisms remain unknown. We aim to discuss whether circadian disruption facilitates cardiac remodeling after MI by activating sympathetic nervous system.

          Methods: Rats were randomly divided into three groups: Sham group (Sham), MI group (MI), and MI+ circadian disruption group (MI+Dis); rats were treated with pseudorabies virus (PRV) injections for trans-synaptic retrograde tracing; rats were randomly divided into two groups: MI+ circadian disruption + Empty Vector+ clozapine N-oxide (CNO) (Empty Vector), and MI+ circadian disruption + hM4D(Gi)+ CNO [hM4D(Gi)].

          Results: Circadian disruption significantly facilitated cardiac remodeling after MI with lower systolic function, larger left ventricular volume, and aggravated cardiac fibrosis. Cardiac sympathetic remodeling makers and serum norepinephrine levels were also significantly increased by circadian disruption. PRV virus-labeled neurons were identified in the superior cervical ganglion (SCG), paraventricular nucleus (PVN), and suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) regions. Ganglionic blockade via designer receptors exclusively activated by designer drugs (DREADD) technique suppressed the activity of sympathetic nervous system and significantly alleviated the disruption-related cardiac dysfunction.

          Conclusion: Circadian disruption adversely affected cardiac remodeling after MI possibly by activating sympathetic nervous system, and suppressing sympathetic activity can attenuate this disruption-related cardiac dysfunction.

          Obesity and metabolic syndrome in circadian Clock mutant mice.

          The CLOCK transcription factor is a key component of the molecular circadian clock within pacemaker neurons of the hypothalamic suprachiasmatic nucleus. We found that homozygous Clock mutant mice have a greatly attenuated diurnal feeding rhythm, are hyperphagic and obese, and develop a metabolic syndrome of hyperleptinemia, hyperlipidemia, hepatic steatosis, hyperglycemia, and hypoinsulinemia. Expression of transcripts encoding selected hypothalamic peptides associated with energy balance was attenuated in the Clock mutant mice. These results suggest that the circadian clock gene network plays an important role in mammalian energy balance.

            IL-18 cleavage triggers cardiac inflammation and fibrosis upon β-adrenergic insult.

            Rapid over-activation of β-adrenergic receptor (β-AR) upon stress leads to cardiac inflammation, a prevailing factor that underlies heart injury. However, mechanisms by which acute β-AR stimulation induce cardiac inflammation still remain unknown. Here, we set out to identify the crucial role of inflammasome/interleukin (IL)-18 in initiating and maintaining cardiac inflammatory cascades upon β-AR insult.

              Insomnia and the risk of acute myocardial infarction: a population study.

              Few prospective studies have investigated insomnia in relation to risk for coronary heart disease. We assessed insomnia symptoms and risk of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in a large, population-based study. A total of 52 610 men and women were followed up for a first AMI, and 2368 incident AMIs occurred during 11.4 years of follow-up, either identified at hospitals or by the National Cause of Death Registry. In our analyses, we adjusted for age, sex, marital status, education, shift work, blood pressure, lipids, diabetes mellitus, body mass index, physical activity, smoking, and alcohol consumption. Difficulties initiating and maintaining sleep and having a feeling of nonrestorative sleep were associated with a moderate increase in AMI risk. The multiadjusted hazard ratios for AMI were 1.45 (95% confidence interval 1.18-1.80) for people with difficulties initiating sleep almost every night, 1.30 (1.01-1.68) for those with difficulties maintaining sleep almost every night, and 1.27 (1.03-1.57) for those with a feeling of nonrestorative sleep more than once a week compared with people who never experienced these sleep difficulties. When we combined the symptoms, a dose-dependent association was seen between the number of insomnia symptoms and AMI risk (P for trend 0.003). Alternative multivariable models and different sensitivity analyses suggest that the results were robust, especially concerning difficulties initiating sleep. Insomnia is associated with a moderately increased risk for AMI.
