Karaboué A, Innominato PF, Wreglesworth NI, Duchemann B, Adam R, Lévi FA. Why does circadian timing of administration matter for immune checkpoint inhibitors' efficacy? Br J Cancer 2024; 131:783-796. [PMID: 38834742 PMCID: PMC11369086 DOI: 10.1038/s41416-024-02704-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2023] [Revised: 03/26/2024] [Accepted: 04/24/2024] [Indexed: 06/06/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Tolerability and antitumour efficacy of chemotherapy and radiation therapy can vary largely according to their time of administration along the 24-h time scale, due to the moderation of their molecular and cellular mechanisms by circadian rhythms. Recent clinical data have highlighted a striking role of dosing time for cancer immunotherapy, thus calling for a critical evaluation. METHODS Here, we review the clinical data and we analyse the mechanisms through which circadian rhythms can influence outcomes on ICI therapies. We examine how circadian rhythm disorders can affect tumour immune microenvironment, as a main mechanism linking the circadian clock to the 24-h cycles in ICIs antitumour efficacy. RESULTS Real-life data from 18 retrospective studies have revealed that early time-of-day (ToD) infusion of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) could enhance progression-free and/or overall survival up to fourfold compared to late ToD dosing. The studies involved a total of 3250 patients with metastatic melanoma, lung, kidney, bladder, oesophageal, stomach or liver cancer from 9 countries. Such large and consistent differences in ToD effects on outcomes could only result from a previously ignored robust chronobiological mechanism. The circadian timing system coordinates cellular, tissue and whole-body physiology along the 24-h timescale. Circadian rhythms are generated at the cellular level by a molecular clock system that involves 15 specific clock genes. The disruption of circadian rhythms can trigger or accelerate carcinogenesis, and contribute to cancer treatment failure, possibly through tumour immune evasion resulting from immunosuppressive tumour microenvironment. CONCLUSIONS AND PERSPECTIVE Such emerging understanding of circadian rhythms regulation of antitumour immunity now calls for randomised clinical trials of ICIs timing to establish recommendations for personalised chrono-immunotherapies with current and forthcoming drugs.

Abstract
Circadian rhythms play a crucial role in regulating various physiological processes, including specific immune functions that enhance the body's ability to anticipate and respond to threats effectively. However, research on the impact of circadian rhythms on osteoimmunology remains limited. Our study uncovered that circadian disruption leads to bone mass loss by reducing the population of Treg cells in the bone marrow. Furthermore, we observed a significant decrease in serum IL-10 cytokine levels in jet lagged mice. In our current investigation, we explored the anti-osteoclastogenic effects of IL-10 and found that IL-10 inhibits RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis in a dose-dependent manner. Our findings suggest that the diminished anti-osteoclastogenic properties of Tregs under circadian disruption are mediated by IL-10 cytokine production. Moreover, our discoveries propose that administration of IL-10 or butyrate could potentially reverse bone mass loss in individuals experiencing jet lag.

Abstract
Circadian biology's impact on human physical health and its role in disease development and progression is widely recognized. The forefront of circadian rhythm research now focuses on translational applications to clinical medicine, aiming to enhance disease diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment responses. However, the field of circadian medicine has predominantly concentrated on human healthcare, neglecting its potential for transformative applications in veterinary medicine, thereby overlooking opportunities to improve non-human animal health and welfare. This review consists of three main sections. The first section focuses on the translational potential of circadian medicine into current industry practices of agricultural animals, with a particular emphasis on horses, broiler chickens, and laying hens. The second section delves into the potential applications of circadian medicine in small animal veterinary care, primarily focusing on our companion animals, namely dogs and cats. The final section explores emerging frontiers in circadian medicine, encompassing aquaculture, veterinary hospital care, and non-human animal welfare and concludes with the integration of One Health principles. In summary, circadian medicine represents a highly promising field of medicine that holds the potential to significantly enhance the clinical care and overall health of all animals, extending its impact beyond human healthcare.

[PMID: 38892035 PMCID: PMC11172077 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25115846] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2024] [Revised: 05/25/2024] [Accepted: 05/26/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024] Open
Abstract
The circadian clock regulates biological cycles across species and is crucial for physiological activities and biochemical reactions, including cancer onset and development. The interplay between the circadian rhythm and cancer involves regulating cell division, DNA repair, immune function, hormonal balance, and the potential for chronotherapy. This highlights the importance of maintaining a healthy circadian rhythm for cancer prevention and treatment. This article investigates the complex relationship between the circadian rhythm and cancer, exploring how disruptions to the internal clock may contribute to tumorigenesis and influence cancer progression. Numerous databases are utilized to conduct searches for articles, such as NCBI, MEDLINE, and Scopus. The keywords used throughout the academic archives are "circadian rhythm", "cancer", and "circadian clock". Maintaining a healthy circadian cycle involves prioritizing healthy sleep habits and minimizing disruptions, such as consistent sleep schedules, reduced artificial light exposure, and meal timing adjustments. Dysregulation of the circadian clock gene and cell cycle can cause tumor growth, leading to the need to regulate the circadian cycle for better treatment outcomes. The circadian clock components significantly impact cellular responses to DNA damage, influencing cancer development. Understanding the circadian rhythm's role in tumor diseases and their therapeutic targets is essential for treating and preventing cancer. Disruptions to the circadian rhythm can promote abnormal cell development and tumor metastasis, potentially due to immune system imbalances and hormonal fluctuations.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Recent retrospective studies suggest potential large patient's benefit through proper timing of immune checkpoint blockers (ICB). The association between ICB treatment timing and patient survival, neoplastic response and toxicities was investigated, together with interactions with performance status (PS) and sex. METHODS A cohort of patients with metastatic or locally advanced solid tumors, who received pembrolizumab, nivolumab, atezolizumab, durvalumab, or avelumab, alone or with concomitant chemotherapy, between November 2015 and March 2021, at the Centre Leon Bérard (France), was retrospectively studied. RESULTS 361 patients were investigated (80% non-small cell lung cancer patients, mean [SD] age: 63 [11] years, 39% of women, 83% PS0-1 at first infusion, 19% received concomitant chemotherapy). ICB were administered from 07:25 to 17:21 and optimal morning/afternoon cut-off was 11:37. Morning infusions were associated with increased OS as compared to afternoon (median 30.3 vs 15.9 months, p = 0.0024; HR 1.56 [1.17-2.1], p = 0.003). A strong PS-timing interaction was found (PS0-1 patients, HR=1.53 [1.10-2.12], p = 0.011; PS2-3 patients, HR=0.50 [0.25-0.97], p = 0.042). Morning PS0-1 patients displayed increased OS (median 36.7 vs 21.3 months, p = 0.023), partial/complete response rate (58% vs 41%, p = 0.027), and grade1-3 toxicities (49% vs 34%, p = 0.028). Mortality risk ratio between infusions at worst time-of-day, estimated at 13:36 [12:48-14:23], and in early morning was equal to 4.8 ([2.3-10.1], p = 0.008). Timing differences in toxicities resulted significant only in female patients (women vs men: p < 0.001 vs 0.4). CONCLUSIONS Early morning ICB infusion was associated with increased OS, response, and toxicities in patients with PS0-1 as compared to later infusions within the day. Prospective randomized trials are needed to confirm this retrospective study.

Abstract
The circadian rhythm affects multiple physiological processes, and disruption of the circadian system can be involved in a range of disease-related pathways. The genetic underpinnings of the circadian rhythm have been well-studied in model organisms. Significant progress has been made in understanding how clock genes affect the physiological functions of the nervous system. In addition, circadian timing is becoming a key factor in improving drug efficacy and reducing drug toxicity. The circadian biology of the target cell determines how the organ responds to the drug at a specific time of day, thus regulating pharmacodynamics. The current review brings together recent advances that have begun to unravel the molecular mechanisms of how the circadian clock affects neurophysiological and behavioral processes associated with human brain diseases. We start with a brief description of how the ubiquitous circadian rhythms are regulated at the genetic, cellular, and neural circuit levels, based on knowledge derived from extensive research on model organisms. We then summarize the latest findings from genetic studies of human brain disorders, focusing on the role of human clock gene variants in these diseases. Lastly, we discuss the impact of common dietary factors and medications on human circadian rhythms and advocate for a broader application of the concept of chronomedicine.

Abstract
Today's challenge for precision medicine involves the integration of the impact of molecular clocks on drug pharmacokinetics, toxicity, and efficacy toward personalized chronotherapy. Meaningful improvements of tolerability and/or efficacy of medications through proper administration timing have been confirmed over the past decade for immunotherapy and chemotherapy against cancer, as well as for commonly used pharmacological agents in cardiovascular, metabolic, inflammatory, and neurological conditions. Experimental and human studies have recently revealed sexually dimorphic circadian drug responses. Dedicated randomized clinical trials should now aim to issue personalized circadian timing recommendations for daily medical practice, integrating innovative technologies for remote longitudinal monitoring of circadian metrics, statistical prediction of molecular clock function from single-timepoint biopsies, and multiscale biorhythmic mathematical modelling. Importantly, chronofit patients with a robust circadian function, who would benefit most from personalized chronotherapy, need to be identified. Conversely, nonchronofit patients could benefit from the emerging pharmacological class of chronobiotics targeting the circadian clock.

Abstract
As a potent endogenous regulator of homeostasis, the circadian time-keeping system synchronizes internal physiology to periodic changes in the external environment to enhance survival. Adapting endogenous rhythms to the external time is accomplished hierarchically with the central pacemaker located in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) signaling the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis to release hormones, notably cortisol, which help maintain the body's circadian rhythm. Given the essential role of HPA-releasing hormones in regulating physiological functions, including immune response, cell cycle, and energy metabolism, their daily variation is critical for the proper function of the circadian timing system. In this review, we focus on cortisol and key fundamental properties of the HPA axis and highlight their importance in controlling circadian dynamics. We demonstrate how systems-driven, mathematical modeling of the HPA axis complements experimental findings, enhances our understanding of complex physiological systems, helps predict potential mechanisms of action, and elucidates the consequences of circadian disruption. Finally, we outline the implications of circadian regulation in the context of personalized chronotherapy. Focusing on the chrono-pharmacology of synthetic glucocorticoids, we review the challenges and opportunities associated with moving toward personalized therapies that capitalize on circadian rhythms.

Abstract
Recent research has emphasized the interaction between the circadian clock and lipid metabolism, particularly in relation to tumors. This review aims to explore how the circadian clock regulates lipid metabolism and its impact on carcinogenesis. Specifically, targeting key enzymes involved in fatty acid synthesis (SREBP, ACLY, ACC, FASN, and SCD) has been identified as a potential strategy for cancer therapy. By disrupting these enzymes, it may be possible to inhibit tumor growth by interfering with lipid metabolism. Transcription factors, like SREBP play a significant role in regulating fatty acid synthesis which is influenced by circadian clock genes such as BMAL1, REV-ERB and DEC. This suggests a strong connection between fatty acid synthesis and the circadian clock. Therefore, successful combination therapy should target fatty acid synthesis in addition to considering the timing and duration of drug use. Ultimately, personalized chronotherapy can enhance drug efficacy in cancer treatment and achieve treatment goals.

Abstract
Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors (ICI) have revolutionised cancer care in recent years. Despite a global improvement in the efficacy and tolerability of systemic anticancer treatments, a sizeable proportion of patients still do not benefit maximally from ICI. Extensive research has been undertaken to reveal the immune- and cancer-related mechanisms underlying resistance and response to ICI, yet more limited investigations have explored potentially modifiable lifestyle host factors and their impact on ICI efficacy and tolerability. Moreover, multiple trials have reported a marked and coherent effect of time-of-day ICI administration and patients' outcomes. The biological circadian clock indeed temporally controls multiple aspects of the immune system, both directly and through mediation of timing of lifestyle actions, including food intake, physical exercise, exposure to bright light and sleep. These factors potentially modulate the immune response also through the microbiome, emerging as an important mediator of a patient's immune system. Thus, this review will look at critically amalgamating the existing clinical and experimental evidence to postulate how modifiable lifestyle factors could be used to improve the outcomes of cancer patients on immunotherapy through appropriate and individualised entrainment of the circadian timing system and temporal orchestration of the immune system functions.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a lethal malignancy with limited treatment strategies. Accumulating evidence indicates that CRC tumorigenesis, progression and metastasis are intimately associated with circadian clock, an inherent 24-h cycle oscillation of biochemical, physiological functions in almost every eukaryote. In the present review, we summarize the altered expression level of circadian genes in CRC and the prognosis associated with gene abundance switch. We illustrate the function and potential mechanisms of circadian genes in CRC pathogenesis and progression. Moreover, circadian based-therapeutic strategies including chronotherapy, therapeutics targeting potential circadian components, and melatonin treatment in CRC are also highlighted.

PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2023; 120:155028. [PMID: 37659295 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2023.155028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2023] [Revised: 06/14/2023] [Accepted: 08/15/2023] [Indexed: 09/04/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Ruscogenin (Rus), a steroidal sapogenin extracted from Ophiopogon japonicus (L. f.) Ker-Gawl., has the effect of alleviating cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI), acute lung injury. At present, the chronopharmacological effects of Rus are still unknown. PURPOSE This study explored the alleviating effect and mechanism of Rus timing administration on mice cerebral IRI. METHODS The animals in different groups were administrated Rus (10 mg/kg) by gavage at four time points (23:00-01:00, 05:00-07:00, 11:00-13:00, 17:00-19:00) respectively for 3 days. On the 4th day, middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) surgery was operated during 5:00-7:00. Behavioral tests were executed and the brain was collected for infarct volume, qPCR and immunoblot detection. The levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin 6 (IL-6), interleukin-1beta (IL-1β) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) were detected by qPCR. Glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) content in serum and cerebral cortex were detected. The clock genes were tested by western blot. Based on these results, 17:00-19:00 was selected to administrate Rus for further mechanism study and Nrf2 blocker group was administrated all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) at 14:00 for 3 days. RESULTS Administration of Rus reduced cerebral infarcted volume, ameliorated the behavior score and upregulated the mRNA and protein expression of Per1, Bmal1, Clock, Rev-erbα, transcription factor nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1). Administration of Rus during 17:00-19:00 had better preventive effect than other three time points. Combined administration of ATRA blunted the preventive effect of Rus. CONCLUSION The preventive effect of Rus is affected by the time of administration, which was regulated by Nrf2 pathway. Taken together, we provide solid evidence to suggest that different administration time point affect the effectiveness of Rus in alleviating IRI.

Abstract
The rhythmic expression of the circadian clock is intimately linked to the health status of the body. Disturbed circadian clock rhythms might lead to a wide range of metabolic diseases and even cancers. Our previous study showed that glucose restriction was able to inhibit non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In the current study, we found that glucose restriction enhanced apoptosis and cell growth delay in NSCLC cells. In addition, we used GEPIA database analysis to derive different effects of each circadian clock gene on lung cancer tissue. Among these circadian clock genes, Per (Period) is lowly expressed in cancer tissues and highly expressed in normal tissues. Moreover, the higher expression of Per in cancer patients has a better prognostic significance. Furthermore, we revealed that glucose restriction induced the expression of the circadian clock gene Per in NSCLC cells by upregulating SIRT1 (Sirtuin1) via activation of the energy response factor AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase). Changes in Per expression following upregulation or downregulation of AMPK were consistent with AMPK expression. Additionally, a low-carbohydrate ketogenic diet significantly delayed tumor progression in a xenograft tumor model of severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) mice. Meanwhile, the ketogenic diet increased the expression of AMPK, SIRT1 and Per in vivo. Besides, the ketogenic diet was found to restore the normal rhythmic level of Per by Zeitgeber Time (ZT) experiments. Taken these together, these results indicated a novel mechanism that glucose restriction induces AMPK-SIRT1 mediated circadian clock gene Per expression and delays NSCLC progression, which provided more evidence for glucose restriction as an adjuvant clinical therapeutic strategy in NSCLC.

Abstract
Over the past four decades, research on 24-h rhythms has yielded numerous remarkable findings, revealing their genetic, molecular, and physiological significance for immunity and various diseases. Thus, circadian rhythms are of fundamental importance to mammals, as their disruption and misalignment have been associated with many diseases and the abnormal functioning of many physiological processes. In this article, we provide a brief overview of the molecular regulation of 24-h rhythms, their importance for immunity, the deleterious effects of misalignment, the link between such pathological rhythms and rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and the potential exploitation of chronobiological rhythms for the chronotherapy of inflammatory autoimmune diseases, using RA as an example.

Abstract
Despite advances in uncovering vulnerabilities, identifying biomarkers, and developing more efficient treatments, cancer remains a threat because of its ability to progress while acquiring resistance to therapy. The circadian rhythm governs most of the cellular functions implicated in cancer progression, and its exploitation therefore opens new promising directions in the fight against metastasis. In this review we summarize the role of the circadian rhythm in tumor development and progression, with emphasis on the circadian rhythm-regulated elements that control the generation of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and metastasis. We then present data on chronotherapy and discuss how circadian rhythm investigations may open new paths to more effective anticancer treatments.

Abstract
Circadian clocks are 24-h endogenous oscillators in physiological and behavioral processes. Though recent transcriptomic studies have been successful in revealing the circadian rhythmicity in gene expression, the power calculation for omics circadian analysis have not been fully explored. In this paper, we develop a statistical method, namely CircaPower, to perform power calculation for circadian pattern detection. Our theoretical framework is determined by three key factors in circadian gene detection: sample size, intrinsic effect size and sampling design. Via simulations, we systematically investigate the impact of these key factors on circadian power calculation. We not only demonstrate that CircaPower is fast and accurate, but also show its underlying cosinor model is robust against variety of violations of model assumptions. In real applications, we demonstrate the performance of CircaPower using mouse pan-tissue data and human post-mortem brain data, and illustrate how to perform circadian power calculation using mouse skeleton muscle RNA-Seq pilot as case study. Our method CircaPower has been implemented in an R package, which is made publicly available on GitHub ( https://github.com/circaPower/circaPower).

Abstract
Increasing evidence points to a role of the circadian clock in the regulation of cancer hallmarks with a strong impact on the understanding and treatment of this disease. Anti-cancer treatment can be personalized considering treatment timing. Here we present a new mathematical model based on data from three colorectal cancer cell lines and core-clock knock-outs, which couples the circadian and drug metabolism network, and that allows to determine toxicity profiles for a given drug and cell type. Moreover, this model integrates external Zeitgebers and thus may be used to fine-tune toxicity by using external factors, such as light, and therefore, to a certain extent, help fitting the endogenous rhythms of the patients to a defined clinic routine facilitating the implementation of time-dependent treatment in clinical practice.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Circadian clocks regulate cellular proliferation and drug effects. Tolerability and/or efficacy of anticancer therapies have been improved by their administration according to circadian rhythms, while being predicted by circadian robustness. The combination of leucovorin, fluorouracil, irinotecan and oxaliplatin (mFOLFIRINOX) is a standard treatment for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), that generates grades 3-4 adverse events in the majority of patients and an estimated 15%-30% emergency admission rate. The MultiDom study evaluates whether mFOLFIRINOX safety can be improved using a novel circadian-based telemonitoring-telecare platform in patients at home. The detection of early warning signals of clinical toxicities could guide their early management, possibly preventing emergency hospital admissions. METHODS AND ANALYSIS This multicentre, interventional, prospective, longitudinal, single-arm study hypothesises that the mFOLFIRINOX-related emergency admission rate will be 5% (95% CI 1.7% to 13.7%), among 67 patients with advanced PDAC. Study participation is 7 weeks for each patient, including a reference week before chemotherapy onset and 6 weeks afterwards. Accelerometry and body temperature are measured q1-min using a continuously worn telecommunicating chest surface sensor, daily body weight is self-measured with a telecommunicating balance and 23 electronic patient-reported outcomes (e-PROs) are self-rated using a tablet. Hidden Markov model, spectral analyses and other algorithms automatically compute physical activity, sleep, temperature, body weight change, e-PRO severity and 12 circadian sleep/activity parameters, including the dichotomy index I<O (% activity 'in-bed' below median activity 'out-of-bed'), once to four times daily. Health professionals access visual displays of near-real time parameter dynamics and receive automatic alerts, with trackable digital follow-up. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The study has been approved by the National Agency for Medication and Health Product Safety (ANSM) and Ethics Committee West V (2 July 2019; third amendment, 14 June 2022). The data will be disseminated at conferences and in peer-reviewed journals and will support large-scale randomised evaluation. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBERS NCT04263948 and ID RCB-2019-A00566-51.

Wong KC, Jayapalan JJ, Subramanian P, Ismail MN, Abdul-Rahman PS. Label-free quantitative mass spectrometry analysis of the circadian proteome of Drosophila melanogaster lethal giant larvae mutants reveals potential therapeutic effects of melatonin. ARCHIVES OF INSECT BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY 2023; 113:e22008. [PMID: 36915983 DOI: 10.1002/arch.22008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2022] [Revised: 02/10/2023] [Accepted: 02/22/2023] [Indexed: 05/16/2023]
Abstract
Mutation in the Drosophila melanogaster lethal giant larvae (lgl), a tumor suppressor gene with a well-established role in cellular polarity, is known to results in massive cellular proliferation and neoplastic outgrowths. Although the tumorigenic properties of lgl mutant have been previously studied, however, little is known about its consequences on the proteome. In this study, mass spectrometry-based label-free quantitative proteomics was employed to investigate the changes in the head and intestinal tissues proteins of Drosophila melanogaster, due to lgl mutation and following treatment with melatonin. Additionally, to uncover the time-influenced variations in the proteome during tumorigenesis and melatonin treatment, the rhythmic expression of proteins was also investigated at 6-h intervals within 24-h clock. Together, the present study has identified 434 proteins of altered expressions (p < 0.05 and fold change ±1.5) in the tissues of flies in response to lgl mutation as well as posttreatment with melatonin. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis of differentially expressed proteins revealed that lgl mutation had significantly affected the biological functions, including metabolism, and protein synthesis and degradation, in flies' tissues. Besides, melatonin had beneficially mitigated the deleterious effects of lgl mutation by reversing the alterations in protein expression closer to baseline levels. Further, changes in protein expression in the tissues due to lgl mutation and melatonin treatment were found rhythmically orchestrated. Together, these findings provide novel insight into the pathways involved in lgl-induced tumorigenesis as well as demonstrated the efficacy of melatonin as a potential anticancer agent. Data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD033191.

Abstract
REV-ERB receptors are members of the nuclear receptor superfamily of proteins, which act as both intracellular receptors and transcription factors, therefore modulating the expression of target genes. REV-ERBs act as transcription repressors because of their unique structure. Their predominant role involves the control of peripheral circadian rhythmicity by participating in a transcription-translation feedback loop with other major clock genes. Regarding their role in cancer pathogenesis, recent studies in various cancerous tissues have revealed that their expression was downregulated in the majority of the cases. Dysregulation of their expression was also implicated in cancer-associated cachexia. The pharmacological restoration of their effects is feasible with synthetic agonists, which have been explored in preclinical studies but with scarce data. There is a need for further investigation, primarily with mechanistic studies, on the effect of the REV-ERB-induced circadian rhythm deregulation in carcinogenesis and cancer-related systemic effects, such as cachexia, in order to address the potential of relevant therapeutic implications.

Abstract
The mammalian cell cycle is governed by a network of cyclin/Cdk complexes which signal the progression into the successive phases of the cell division cycle. Once coupled to the circadian clock, this network produces oscillations with a 24 h period such that the progression into each phase of the cell cycle is synchronized to the day-night cycle. Here, we use a computational model for the circadian clock control of the cell cycle to investigate the entrainment in a population of cells characterized by some variability in the kinetic parameters. Our numerical simulations showed that successful entrainment and synchronization are only possible with a sufficient circadian amplitude and an autonomous period close to 24 h. Cellular heterogeneity, however, introduces some variability in the entrainment phase of the cells. Many cancer cells have a disrupted clock or compromised clock control. In these conditions, the cell cycle runs independently of the circadian clock, leading to a lack of synchronization of cancer cells. When the coupling is weak, entrainment is largely impacted, but cells maintain a tendency to divide at specific times of day. These differential entrainment features between healthy and cancer cells can be exploited to optimize the timing of anti-cancer drug administration in order to minimize their toxicity and to maximize their efficacy. We then used our model to simulate such chronotherapeutic treatments and to predict the optimal timing for anti-cancer drugs targeting specific phases of the cell cycle. Although qualitative, the model highlights the need to better characterize cellular heterogeneity and synchronization in cell populations as well as their consequences for circadian entrainment in order to design successful chronopharmacological protocols.

Abstract
The circadian clock modulates almost all vital aspects of our physiology and metabolism, including processes relevant to dentistry, such as healing, inflammation and nociception. Chronotherapy is an emerging field aiming to improve therapeutic efficacy and decrease adverse effects on health outcomes. This scoping review aimed to systematically map the evidence underpinning chronotherapy in dentistry and to identify gaps in knowledge. We conducted a systematic scoping search using four databases (Medline, Scopus, CINAHL and Embase). We identified 3908 target articles screened by two blinded reviewers, and only original animal and human studies investigating the chronotherapeutic use of drugs or interventions in dentistry were included. Of the 24 studies included, 19 were human studies and five were animal studies. Chrono-radiotherapy and chrono-chemotherapy reduced treatment side effects and improved therapeutic response, leading to higher survival rates in cancer patients. Animal studies reported that tooth movement and periodontal tissue response to orthodontic forces follow a diurnal rhythm that might influence bone metabolism. Profound and prolonged local anesthesia could be achieved when injected in the evening. Although the overall quality of the included studies was low, chronotherapy applications in dentistry seem to have favourable outcomes, especially in head and neck cancer treatments.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Circadian rhythm regulates complex physiological activities in organisms. A strong link between circadian dysfunction and cancer has been identified. However, the factors of dysregulation and functional significance of circadian rhythm genes in cancer have received little attention. METHODS In 18 cancer types from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), the differential expression and genetic variation of 48 circadian rhythm genes (CRGs) were examined. The circadian rhythm score (CRS) model was created using the ssGSEA method, and patients were divided into high and low groups based on the CRS. The Kaplan-Meier curve was created to assess the patient survival rate. Cibersort and estimate methods were used to identify the infiltration characteristics of immune cells between different CRS subgroups. Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) dataset is used as verification queue and model stability evaluation queue. The CRS model's ability to predict chemotherapy and immunotherapy was assessed. Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used to compare the differences of CRS among different patients. We use CRS to identify potential "clock-drugs" by the connective map method. RESULTS Transcriptomic and genomic analyses of 48 CRGs revealed that most core clock genes are up-regulated, while clock control genes are down-regulated. Furthermore, we show that copy number variation may affect CRGs aberrations. Based on CRS, patients can be classified into two groups with significant differences in survival and immune cell infiltration. Further studies showed that patients with low CRS were more sensitive to chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Additionally, we identified 10 compounds (e.g. flubendazole, MLN-4924, ingenol) that are positively associated with CRS, and have the potential to modulate circadian rhythms. CONCLUSIONS CRS can be utilized as a clinical indicator to predict patient prognosis and responsiveness to therapy, and identify potential "clock-drugs".

Abstract
The circadian rhythm is regulated by an intrinsic time-tracking system, composed both of a central and a peripheral clock, which influences the cycles of activities and sleep of an individual over 24 h. At the molecular level, the circadian rhythm begins when two basic helix-loop-helix/Per-ARNT-SIM (bHLH-PAS) proteins, BMAL-1 and CLOCK, interact with each other to produce BMAL-1/CLOCK heterodimers in the cytoplasm. The BMAL-1/CLOCK target genes encode for the repressor components of the clock, cryptochrome (Cry1 and Cry2) and the Period proteins (Per1, Per2 and Per3). It has been recently demonstrated that the disruption of circadian rhythm is associated with an increased risk of developing obesity and obesity-related diseases. In addition, it has been demonstrated that the disruption of the circadian rhythm plays a key role in tumorigenesis. Further, an association between the circadian rhythm disruptions and an increased incidence and progression of several types of cancer (e.g., breast, prostate, colorectal and thyroid cancer) has been found. As the perturbation of circadian rhythm has adverse metabolic consequences (e.g., obesity) and at the same time tumor promoter functions, this manuscript has the aim to report how the aberrant circadian rhythms affect the development and prognosis of different types of obesity-related cancers (breast, prostate, colon rectal and thyroid cancer) focusing on both human studies and on molecular aspects.

Abstract
The circadian system is an intricate molecular network of coordinating circadian clocks that organize the internal synchrony of the organism in response to the environment. These rhythms are maintained by genetically programmed positive and negative auto-regulated transcriptional and translational feedback loops that sustain 24-hour oscillations in mRNA and protein components of the endogenous circadian clock. Since inter and intracellular activity of the central pacemaker appears to reduce with aging, the interaction between the circadian clock and aging continues to elude our understanding. In this review article, we discuss circadian clock components at the molecular level and how aging adversely affects circadian clock functioning in rodents and humans. The natural decline in melatonin levels with aging strongly contributes to circadian dysregulation resulting in the development of neurological anomalies. Additionally, inappropriate environmental conditions such as Artificial Light at Night (ALAN) can cause circadian disruption or chronodisruption (CD) which can result in a variety of pathological diseases, including premature aging. Furthermore, we summarize recent evidence suggesting that CD may also be a predisposing factor for the development of age-related neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs) such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), and Huntington's disease (HD), although more investigation is required to prove this link. Finally, certain chrono-enhancement approaches have been offered as intervention strategies to prevent, alleviate, or mitigate the impacts of CD. This review thus aims to bring together recent advancements in the chronobiology of the aging process, as well as its role in NDDs.

Abstract
Clock (circadian) genes are heterogeneously expressed in hair follicles (HFs). The genes can be modulated by both the central circadian system and some extrinsic factors, such as light and thyroid hormones. These circadian genes participate in the regulation of several physiological processes of HFs, including hair growth and pigmentation. On the other hand, because peripheral circadian genes are synchronized with the central clock, HFs could provide a noninvasive and practical method for monitoring and evaluating multiple circadian-rhythm-related conditions and disorders among humans, including day and night shifts, sleep-wake disorders, physical activities, energy metabolism, and aging. However, due to the complexity of circadian biology, understanding how intrinsic oscillation operates using peripheral tissues only may be insufficient. Combining HF sampling with multidimensional assays such as detection of body temperature, blood samples, or certain validated questionnaires may be helpful in improving HF applications. Thus, HFs can serve as a critical model for monitoring the circadian clock and can help provide an understanding of the potential mechanisms of circadian-rhythm-related conditions; furthermore, chronotherapy could support personalized treatment scheduling based on the gene expression profile expressed in HFs.

Abstract
BACKGROUNDChronotherapy is a drug intervention at specific times of the day to optimize efficacy and minimize adverse effects. Its value in hematologic malignancy remains to be explored, in particular in adult patients.METHODSWe performed chronotherapeutic analysis using 2 cohorts of patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) undergoing chemotherapy with a dichotomized schedule (morning or afternoon). The effect of a morning or afternoon schedule of rituximab plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) on survival and drug tolerability was evaluated in a survival cohort (n = 210) and an adverse event cohort (n = 129), respectively. Analysis of about 14,000 healthy individuals followed to identify the circadian variation in hematologic parameters.RESULTSBoth progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of female, but not male, patients were significantly shorter when patients received chemotherapy mostly in the morning (PFS HR 0.357, P = 0.033; and OS HR 0.141, P = 0.032). The dose intensity was reduced in female patients treated in the morning (cyclophosphamide 10%, P = 0.002; doxorubicin 8%, P = 0.002; and rituximab 7%, P = 0.003). This was mainly attributable to infection and neutropenic fever: female patients treated in the morning had a higher incidence of infections (16.7% vs. 2.4%) and febrile neutropenia (20.8% vs. 9.8%) as compared with those treated in the afternoon. The sex-specific chronotherapeutic effects can be explained by the larger daily fluctuation of circulating leukocytes and neutrophils in female than in male patients.CONCLUSIONIn female DLBCL patients, R-CHOP treatment in the afternoon can reduce toxicity while it improves efficacy and survival outcome.FUNDINGNational Research Foundation of Korea (NRF) grant funded by the Korean government (grant number NRF-2021R1A4A2001553), Institute for Basic Science IBS-R029-C3, and Human Frontiers Science Program Organization Grant RGY0063/2017.

Abstract
Almost all pharmaceutical products are approved on the basis of their effect in patients representing the "average" of the population studied in registrational trials, with most drug labels allowing, at most, for empirical dose reduction in the case of toxicity. In this perspective article we explore some of the evidence that supports the use of personalised dosing in cancer treatment and show how we have been able to build on existing models linking dose, exposure and toxicity to demonstrate how dose optimisation, including increasing the dose, has the potential to significantly improve efficacy outcomes. We also explore, through the lens of our own experience of developing a personalised dosing platform, some of the hurdles that stand in the way of implementing a personalised approach to dosing in real world settings. In particular, our experience is illustrated by the application of a dosing platform for docetaxel treatment in prostate cancer.

Interspecies and in vitro-in vivo scaling for quantitative modeling of whole-body drug pharmacokinetics in patients: Application to the anticancer drug oxaliplatin.

Abstract
Quantitative systems pharmacology holds the promises of integrating results from laboratory animals or in vitro human systems into the design of human pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) models allowing for precision and personalized medicine. However, reliable and general in vitro-to-in vivo extrapolation and interspecies scaling methods are still lacking. Here, we developed a translational strategy for the anticancer drug oxaliplatin. Using ex vivo PK data in the whole blood of the mouse, rat, and human, a model representing the amount of platinum (Pt) in the plasma and in the red blood cells was designed and could faithfully fit each dataset independently. A "purely physiologically-based (PB)" scaling approach solely based on preclinical data failed to reproduce human observations, which were then included in the calibration. Investigating approaches in which one parameter was set as species-specific, whereas the others were computed by PB scaling laws, we concluded that allowing the Pt binding rate to plasma proteins to be species-specific permitted to closely fit all data, and guaranteed parameter identifiability. Such a strategy presenting the drawback of including all clinical datasets, we further identified a minimal subset of human data ensuring accurate model calibration. Next, a "whole body" model of oxaliplatin human PK was inferred from the ex vivo study. Its three remaining parameters were estimated, using one third of the available patient data. Remarkably, the model achieved a good fit to the training dataset and successfully reproduced the unseen observations. Such validation endorsed the legitimacy of our scaling methodology calling for its testing with other drugs.

Abstract
Circadian hygiene, a concept not to be confused with the notion of public or social hygiene, should be discussed among experts and society. Light-dark cycles and other possible synchronizers of the human circadian timing system affect ways of life, including sleeping, eating, working and physical activity. Some of these behaviors have also been investigated individually as synchronizers (e.g., eating times). Therefore, the knowledge held today about circadian rhythms, and their implications for health, allows future perspectives in this field to be mapped. The present article summarizes the latest knowledge on factors influencing circadian rhythms to discuss a perspective for the future of health promotion based on circadian hygiene. However, it is important to highlight that circadian hygiene is the product of an imbrication of individual and societal involvement. First, it is important to adopt practices and devise public health policies in line with circadian hygiene. Second, individual healthy habits require internal rhythms to be examined. Last, the research agenda on circadian hygiene can be developed on a public as well as individual level, raising the question as to how much society is willing to embrace this change.

Abstract
Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is a central DNA repair pathway responsible for removing a wide variety of DNA-distorting lesions from the genome. The highly choreographed cascade of core NER reactions requires more than 30 polypeptides. The xeroderma pigmentosum group A (XPA) protein plays an essential role in the NER process. XPA interacts with almost all NER participants and organizes the correct NER repair complex. In the absence of XPA's scaffolding function, no repair process occurs. In this review, we briefly summarize our current knowledge about the XPA protein structure and analyze the formation of contact with its protein partners during NER complex assembling. We focus on different ways of regulation of the XPA protein's activity and expression and pay special attention to the network of post-translational modifications. We also discuss the data that is not in line with the currently accepted hypothesis about the functioning of the XPA protein.

Sex and Circadian Timing Modulate Oxaliplatin Hematological and Hematopoietic Toxicities. Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14112465.

Abstract
Oxaliplatin was nearly twice as hematotoxic, with optimal circadian timing differing by 6 h, in women as compared to men with colorectal cancers. Hence, we investigated sex- and timing-related determinants of oxaliplatin hematopoietic toxicities in mice. Body-weight loss (BWL), blood cell counts, bone marrow cellularity (BMC) and seven flow-cytometry-monitored hematopoietic progenitor populations were evaluated 72 h after oxaliplatin chronotherapy administration (5 mg/kg). In control animals, circadian rhythms of circulating white blood cells showed a peak at ZT5 in both sexes, whereas BMC was maximum at ZT20 in males and ZT13h40 in females. All BM progenitor counts presented robust rhythms with phases around ZT3h30 in females, whereas only three of them rhythmically cycled in males with a ≈ -6 h phase shift. In treated females, chronotoxicity rhythms occurred in BWL, WBC, BMC and all BM progenitors with the best timing at ZT15, ZT21, ZT15h15 and ZT14h45, respectively. In males, almost no endpoints showed circadian rhythms, BWL and WBC toxicity being minimal, albeit with a substantial drop in BM progenitors. Increasing dose (10 mg/kg) in males induced circadian rhythms in BWL and WBC but not in BM endpoints. Our results suggest complex and sex-specific clock-controlled regulation of the hematopoietic system and its response to oxaliplatin.

Abstract
Living organisms present rhythmic fluctuations every 24 h in their behavior and metabolism to anticipate changes in the environment. These fluctuations are controlled by a very complex molecular mechanism, the circadian clock, that regulates the expression of multiple genes to ensure the right functioning of the body. An individual's circadian system is altered during aging, and this is related to numerous age-associated pathologies and other alterations that could contribute to the development of cancer. Nowadays, there is an increasing interest in understanding how circadian rhythms could be used in the treatment of cancer. Chronotherapy aims to understand the impact that biological rhythms have on the response to a therapy to optimize its action, maximize health benefits and minimize possible adverse effects. Clinical trials so far have confirmed that optimal timing of treatment with chemo or immunotherapies could decrease drug toxicity and increase efficacy. Instead, chronoradiotherapy seems to minimize treatment-related symptoms rather than tumor progression or patient survival. In addition, potential therapeutic targets within the molecular clock have also been identified. Therefore, results of the application of chronotherapy in cancer therapy until now are challenging, feasible, and could be applied to clinical practice to improve cancer treatment without additional costs. However, different limitations and variables such as age, sex, or chronotypes, among others, should be overcome before chronotherapy can really be put into clinical practice.

Abstract
Nowadays, the complexity of disease mechanisms and the inadequacy of single-target therapies in restoring the biological system have inevitably instigated the strategy of multi-target therapeutics with the analysis of each target individually. However, it is not suitable for dealing with the conflicts between targets or between drugs. With the release of high-precision protein structure prediction artificial intelligence, large-scale high-precision protein structure prediction and docking have become possible. In this article, we propose a multi-target drug discovery method by the example of therapeutic hypothermia (TH). First, we performed protein structure prediction for all protein targets of each group by AlphaFold2 and RoseTTAFold. Then, QuickVina 2 is used for molecular docking between the proteins and drugs. After docking, we use PageRank to rank single drugs and drug combinations of each group. The ePharmaLib was used for predicting the side effect targets. Given the differences in the weights of different targets, the method can effectively avoid inhibiting beneficial proteins while inhibiting harmful proteins. So it could minimize the conflicts between different doses and be friendly to chronotherapeutics. Besides, this method also has potential in precision medicine for its high compatibility with bioinformatics and promotes the development of pharmacogenomics and bioinfo-pharmacology.

Abstract
The circadian clock generates 24 h rhythms in behavioural, cellular and molecular processes. Malfunctions of the clock are associated with enhanced susceptibility to cancer, worse treatment response and poor prognosis. Clock-controlled genes are involved in cellular processes associated with tumour development and progression including metabolism of drugs and the cell cycle. Cynara cardunculus, a plant of the Asteraceae family, has been reported to have antiproliferative effects on breast cancer cells. Here, we used the human colorectal cancer (CRC) cell line HCT116 and its knockout variants for different core-clock genes (BMAL1, PER2, NR1D1), to investigate the treatment effect of C. cardunculus lipophilic leaf extract under different clock scenarios. Our results show a direct effect of C. cardunculus on the circadian phenotype of the cells, as indicated by alterations in the phase, amplitude, and period length of core-clock gene oscillations. Furthermore, our data indicate a role for the circadian clock in sensitivity to C. cardunculus treatment. In particular, the treatment inhibited proliferation and induced cytotoxicity and apoptosis in a clock knockout-specific manner, in CRC cells. These results point to a potential effect of C. cardunculus lipophilic leaf extracts as a modulator of the circadian clock, in addition to its anti-proliferative properties.

Digital circadian and sleep health in individual hospital shift workers: A cross sectional telemonitoring study. EBioMedicine 2022; 81:104121.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Telemonitoring of circadian and sleep cycles could identify shift workers at increased risk of poor health, including cancer and cardiovascular diseases, thus supporting personalized prevention. METHODS The Circadiem cross-sectional study aimed at determining early warning signals of risk of health alteration in hospital nightshifters (NS) versus dayshifters (DS, alternating morning and afternoon shifts). Circadian rhythmicity in activity, sleep, and temperature was telemonitored on work and free days for one week. Participants wore a bluetooth low energy thoracic accelerometry and temperature sensor that was wirelessly connected to a GPRS gateway and a health data hub server. Hidden Markov modelling of activity quantified Rhythm Index, rest quality (probability, p1-1, of remaining at rest), and rest duration. Spectral analyses determined periods in body surface temperature and accelerometry. Parameters were compared and predictors of circadian and sleep disruption were identified by multivariate analyses using information criteria-based model selection. Clusters of individual shift work response profiles were recognized. FINDINGS Of 140 per-protocol participants (133 females), there were 63 NS and 77 DS. Both groups had similar median rest amount, yet NS had significantly worse median rest-activity Rhythm Index (0·38 [IQR, 0·29-0·47] vs. 0·69 [0·60-0·77], p<0·0001) and rest quality p1-1 (0·94 [0·94-0·95] vs 0·96 [0·94-0·97], p<0·0001) over the whole study week. Only 48% of the NS displayed a circadian period in temperature, as compared to 70% of the DS (p=0·026). Poor p1-1 was associated with nightshift work on both work (p<0·0001) and free days (p=0·0098). The number of years of past night work exposure predicted poor rest-activity Rhythm Index jointly with shift type, age and chronotype on workdays (p= 0·0074), and singly on free days (p=0·0005). INTERPRETATION A dedicated analysis toolbox of streamed data from a wearable device identified circadian and sleep rhythm markers, that constitute surrogate candidate endpoints of poor health risk in shift-workers.

Chronometric Administration of Cyclophosphamide and a Double-Stranded DNA-Mix at Interstrand Crosslinks Repair Timing, Called "Karanahan" Therapy, Is Highly Efficient in a Weakly Immunogenic Lewis Carcinoma Model. Pathol Oncol Res 2022; 28:1610180. [PMID: 35693632 PMCID: PMC9185167 DOI: 10.3389/pore.2022.1610180] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2021] [Accepted: 04/27/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Background and Aims: A new technology based on the chronometric administration of cyclophosphamide and complex composite double-stranded DNA-based compound, which is scheduled in strict dependence on interstrand crosslinks repair timing, and named “Karanahan”, has been developed. Being applied, this technology results in the eradication of tumor-initiating stem cells and full-scale apoptosis of committed tumor cells. In the present study, the efficacy of this novel approach has been estimated in the model of Lewis carcinoma. Methods: To determine the basic indicative parameters for the approach, the duration of DNA repair in tumor cells, as well as their distribution along the cell cycle, have been assessed. Injections were done into one or both tumors in femoral region of the engrafted mice in accordance with the developed regimen. Four series of experiments were carried out at different periods of time. The content of poorly differentiated CD34+/TAMRA+ cells in the bone marrow and peripheral blood has been determined. Immunostaining followed by the flow cytometry was used to analyze the subpopulations of immune cells. Results: The high antitumor efficacy of the new technology against the developed experimental Lewis carcinoma was shown. It was found that the therapy efficacy depended on the number of tumor growth sites, seasonal and annual peculiarities. In some experiments, a long-term remission has been reached in 70% of animals with a single tumor and in 60% with two tumors. In mice with two developed grafts, mobilization capabilities of both poorly differentiated hematopoietic cells of the host and tumor stem-like cells decrease significantly. Being applied, this new technology was shown to activate a specific immune response. There is an increase in the number of NK cell populations in the blood, tumor, and spleen, killer T cells and T helper cells in the tumor and spleen, CD11b+Ly-6C+ and CD11b+Ly-6G+ cells in the tumor. A population of mature dendritic cells is found in the tumor. Conclusion: The performed experiments indicate the efficacy of the Karanahan approach against incurable Lewis carcinoma. Thus, the discussed therapy is a new approach for treating experimental neoplasms, which has a potential as a personalized anti-tumor therapeutic approach in humans.

Abstract
Cell-autonomous, tissue-specific circadian rhythms in gene expression and cellular processes have been observed throughout the human body. Disruption of daily rhythms by mistimed exposure to light, food intake, or genetic mutation has been linked to cancer development. Some medications are also more effective at certain times of day. However, a limited number of clinical studies have examined daily rhythms in the patient or drug timing as treatment strategies. This review highlights advances and challenges in cancer biology as a function of time of day. Recent evidence for daily rhythms and their entrainment in tumors indicate that personalized medicine should include understanding and accounting for daily rhythms in cancer patients.

Assessing the Significance of the Circadian Time of Administration on the Effectiveness and Tolerability of OnabotulinumtoxinA for Chronic Migraine Prophylaxis. Toxins (Basel) 2022; 14:toxins14050296. [PMID: 35622543 PMCID: PMC9145697 DOI: 10.3390/toxins14050296] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2022] [Revised: 04/18/2022] [Accepted: 04/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
We aimed to provide insights on the role of the circadian time of administration in influencing the efficacy and tolerability/safety profile of OnabotulinumtoxinA (BoNTA) for chronic migraine (CM) prophylaxis. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical files of BoNTA-naïve patients with CM who completed three consecutive cycles of treatment, according to the standard PREEMPT paradigm. Participants were classified to those scheduled to be treated in the morning hours from 8:00 to 12:00 (AM) or afternoon hours from 13:00 to 18:00 (PM). We then assessed and compared between groups the changes from baseline (T0—trimester before BoNTA’s first administration) to the period after its third administration (T3) in the following efficacy outcomes: (i) mean number of headache days/month, (ii) mean number of days/month with peak headache intensity of >4/10, (iii) mean number of days/month with consumption of any abortive treatment. Safety−tolerability was also compared between groups. Results: A total of 50 AM and 50 PM-treated patients were evaluated. The within-group analysis in both groups showed a significant decrease in all efficacy variables between T0 and T3. However, the between-group comparisons of all BoNTA-related efficacy outcomes at T3 vs. T0 documented comparable improvements between AM vs. PM-treated patients. Safety/tolerability was also similar between groups. Conclusions: We were not able to identify significant differences between patients treated in the AM vs. PM, so as to demonstrate that the circadian time of administration should be considered before initiating BoNTA in CM patients.

Designing the formulations in circadian rhythm activity with chronotherapeutic drug delivery system using ramelteon. Int J Health Sci (Qassim) 2022.

Abstract
Ramelteon is an orally sleep promoting agent that is chemically designated as (S)- N- [2-(1,6,7,8-Tetrahydro-2H-indeno-[5,4b] furan-8-yl) ethyl] propionamide and contains one chiral centre. Ramelteon is a neutral compound with no acid or base functional groups, and as such, its aqueous solubility is independent of pH. The activity of Ramelteon at the MT1and MT2 receptors is believed to contribute to its sleep-promoting properties, as these receptors, acted upon by endogenous melatonin, are thought to be involved in the maintenance of the circadian rhythm underlying the normal sleep-wake cycle. These maintenance of circadian rhythm can be well controlled by designing the formulations with chronotherapeutic drug delivery system. This article summarizes to design, develop and evaluate the chronotherapeutic drug delivery system with various approaches using control release polymers like Eudragit RSPO, Hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC), Ethyl cellulose etc., the approaches like compression coating technique, pulsatile drug delivery system and coating technique. The main objective of controlling the drug release pattern is to achieve the lag time of 2 hours followed by drug release profile for 4 hours. Also an attempt has been made to conclude on various approaches studied which can be used in the treatment of circadian rhythm using Ramelteon API.

Abstract
Entrainment is a phenomenon in which two oscillators interact with each other, typically through physical or chemical means, to synchronize their oscillations. This phenomenon occurs in biology to coordinate processes from the molecular to organismal scale. Biological oscillators can be entrained within a single cell, between cells or to an external input. Using six illustrative examples of entrainable biological oscillators, we discuss the distinctions between entrainment and synchrony and explore features that contribute to a system's propensity to entrain. Entrainment can either enhance or reduce the heterogeneity of oscillations within a cell population, and we provide examples and mechanisms of each case. Finally, we discuss the known functions of entrainment and discuss potential functions from an evolutionary perspective.

Abstract
The circadian rhythm is an evolutionarily conserved time-keeping system that comprises a wide variety of processes including sleep-wake cycles, eating-fasting cycles, and activity-rest cycles, coordinating the behavior and physiology of all organs for whole-body homeostasis. Acute disruption of circadian rhythm may lead to transient discomfort, whereas long-term irregular circadian rhythm will result in the dysfunction of the organism, therefore increasing the risks of numerous diseases especially cancers. Indeed, both epidemiological and experimental evidence has demonstrated the intrinsic link between dysregulated circadian rhythm and cancer. Accordingly, a rapidly increasing understanding of the molecular mechanisms of circadian rhythms is opening new options for cancer therapy, possibly by modulating the circadian clock. In this review, we first describe the general regulators of circadian rhythms and their functions on cancer. In addition, we provide insights into the mechanisms underlying how several types of disruption of the circadian rhythm (including sleep-wake, eating-fasting, and activity-rest) can drive cancer progression, which may expand our understanding of cancer development from the clock perspective. Moreover, we also summarize the potential applications of modulating circadian rhythms for cancer treatment, which may provide an optional therapeutic strategy for cancer patients.

Abstract
The circadian clock is an essential timekeeper that controls, for humans, the daily rhythm of biochemical, physiological, and behavioral functions. Irregular performance or disruption in circadian rhythms results in various diseases, including cancer. As a factor in cancer development, perturbations in circadian rhythms can affect circadian homeostasis in energy balance, lead to alterations in the cell cycle, and cause dysregulation of chromatin remodeling. However, knowledge gaps remain in our understanding of the relationship between the circadian clock and cancer. Therefore, a mechanistic understanding by which circadian disruption enhances cancer risk is needed. This review article outlines the importance of the circadian clock in tumorigenesis and summarizes underlying mechanisms in the clock and its carcinogenic mechanisms, highlighting advances in chronotherapy for cancer treatment.

Abstract
The choroid plexuses (CPs), located in the brain ventricles, form an interface between the blood and the cerebrospinal fluid named the blood-cerebrospinal barrier, which, by the presence of tight junctions, detoxification enzymes, and membrane transporters, limits the traffic of molecules into the central nervous system. It has already been shown that sex hormones regulate several CP functions, including the oscillations of its clock genes. However, it is less explored how the circadian rhythm regulates CP functions. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of sex hormones and circadian rhythms on the function of CP membrane transporters. The 24 h transcription profiles of the membrane transporters rAbca1, rAbcb1, rAbcc1, rAbcc4, rAbcg2, rAbcg4, and rOat3 were characterized in the CPs of intact male, intact female, sham-operated female, and gonadectomized rats. We found that rAbcc1 is expressed in a circadian way in the CPs of intact male rats, rAbcg2 in the CPs of intact female rats, and both rAbcc4 and rOat3 mRNA levels were expressed in a circadian way in the CPs of intact male and female rats. Next, using an in vitro model of the human blood–cerebrospinal fluid barrier, we also found that methotrexate (MTX) is transported in a circadian way across this barrier. The circadian pattern of Abcc4 found in the human CP epithelial papilloma cells might be partially responsible for MTX circadian transport across the basal membrane of CP epithelial cells.

Abstract
Ionizing radiation caused by medical treatments, nuclear events or even space flights can irreversibly damage structure and function of brain cells. That can result in serious brain damage, with memory and behavior disorders, or even fatal oncologic or neurodegenerative illnesses. Currently used treatments and drugs are mostly targeting biochemical processes of cell apoptosis, radiation toxicity, neuroinflammation, and conditions such as cognitive-behavioral disturbances or others that result from the radiation insult. With most drugs, the side effects and potential toxicity are also to be considered. Therefore, many agents have not been approved for clinical use yet. In this review, we focus on the latest and most effective agents that have been used in animal and also in the human research, and clinical treatments. They could have the potential therapeutical use in cases of radiation damage of central nervous system, and also in prevention considering their radioprotecting effect of nervous tissue.

Time-Dependent Efficacy of Checkpoint Inhibitor Nivolumab: Results from a Pilot Study in Patients with Metastatic Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14040896. [PMID: 35205644 PMCID: PMC8870559 DOI: 10.3390/cancers14040896] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 16.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2021] [Revised: 02/01/2022] [Accepted: 02/09/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary Initial clinical observations revealed strikingly longer follow-up for metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients receiving nivolumab infusions predominantly in the morning as compared to those treated in the afternoon. Prior experimental and human studies have demonstrated the temporal distributions of immune cells’ proliferation, trafficking, and antigen recognition and destruction over the 24 h. Here, we hypothesized that circadian timing could play an important role in nivolumab’s efficacy, as previously shown for the toxicity and/or efficacy of chronomodulated chemotherapy in colorectal and lung cancer patients. Following project validation by an internal scientific review board, the dosing times of each of the 1818 nivolumab infusions given to 95 consecutive patients as a standard treatment for metastatic NSCLC were retrieved from the day-hospital records. Adverse events and radiologically documented tumor responses were retrieved and reviewed from patients’ clinical charts. Patients were allocated to ‘morning’ (N = 48 patients) or ‘afternoon’ (N = 47 patients) groups, according to whether they had received the majority of nivolumab infusions before or after 12:54, i.e., the median time of all infusions, respectively. ‘Morning’ nivolumab dosing nearly quadrupled median progression-free and overall survival as compared to ‘afternoon’ dosing. ‘Morning’ nivolumab was significantly more effective irrespective of age, sex, performance status, prior treatments, tumor histology, or PD-L1 expression. In contrast, nivolumab primary resistance was most often observed following ‘afternoon’ dosing. Randomized trials are warranted both to further identify the optimal timing of checkpoint inhibitors in individual cancer patients, and to determine the main mechanisms that precisely drive immunotherapy efficacy and resistance along the circadian timescale. Abstract Hypothesis: Prior experimental and human studies have demonstrated the circadian organization of immune cells’ proliferation, trafficking, and antigen recognition and destruction. Nivolumab targets T(CD8) cells, the functions, and trafficking of which are regulated by circadian clocks, hence suggesting possible daily changes in nivolumab’s efficacy. Worse progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) were reported for malignant melanoma patients receiving more than 20% of their immune checkpoint inhibitor infusions after 16:30 as compared to earlier in the day. Methods: Consecutive metastatic non-small-cell cancer (NSCLC) patients received nivolumab (240 mg iv q 2 weeks) at a daily time that was ‘randomly’ allocated for each course on a logistical basis by the day-hospital coordinators. The median time of all nivolumab administrations was computed for each patient. The study population was split into two timing groups based upon the median value of the median treatment times of all patients. CTCAE-toxicity rates, iRECIST-tumor responses, PFS and OS were computed according to nivolumab timing. PFS and OS curves were compared and hazard ratios (HR) were computed for all major categories of characteristics. Multivariable and sensitivity analyses were also performed. Results: The study accrued 95 stage-IV NSCLC patients (PS 0–1, 96%), aged 41–83 years. The majority of nivolumab administrations occurred between 9:27 and 12:54 for 48 patients (‘morning’ group) and between 12:55 and 17:14 for the other 47 (‘afternoon’ group). Median PFS (95% CL) was 11.3 months (5.5–17.1) for the ‘morning’ group and 3.1 months (1.5–4.6) for the ‘afternoon’ one (p < 0.001). Median OS was 34.2 months (15.1–53.3) and 9.6 months (4.9–14.4) for the ‘morning’ group and the ‘afternoon’ one, respectively (p < 0.001). Multivariable analyses identified ‘morning’ timing as a significant predictor of longer PFS and OS, with respective HR values of 0.26 (0.11–0.58) and 0.17 (0.08–0.37). The timing effect was consistent across all patient subgroups tested. Conclusions: Nivolumab was nearly four times as effective following ‘morning’ as compared to ‘afternoon’ dosing in this cohort of NSCLC patients. Prospective timing-studies are needed to minimize the risk of resistance and to maximize the benefits from immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Abstract
Colon adenomas with proliferating mutant cells may progress to invasive carcinomas. Proliferation of cells in human colorectal tissue is circadian, greater in the interval 4 to 12 hours after midnight than 16 to 24 hours after midnight. We have tested the hypothesis that chemotherapy administered during the time of greater cell proliferation will be more effective than chemotherapy administered during the time of lesser proliferation. An agent-based computer model of cell proliferation in colon crypts was calibrated with measurements of cell numbers in human biopsy specimens. It was used to simulate cytotoxic chemotherapy of an early stage of colon cancer, adenomas with about 20% of mutant cells. Chemotherapy doses were scheduled at different 4-hour intervals during the 24-hour day, and repeated at weekly intervals. Chemotherapy administered at 4 to 8 hours after midnight cured mutant cells in 100% of 50 trials with an average time to cure of 7.82 days (s.e.m. = 0.99). In contrast, chemotherapy administered at 20 to 24 hours after midnight cured only 18% of 50 trials, with the average time to cure of 23.51 days (s.e.m. = 2.42). These simulation results suggest that clinical chemotherapy of early colon cancer may be more effective when given in the morning than later in the day.
