To determine whether transcriptional regulation by CRY1,2 influences the homeostatic regulation of sleep, we studied sleep in cry1,2 -/-mice under baseline conditions, under conditions of constant darkness, and after sleep deprivation (SD).
These observations are the first to demonstrate regulation of CaT1 expression by 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D in the human enterocyte and are consistent with a new model of intestinal calcium absorption wherein vitamin D-mediated changes in brush border membrane CaT1 levels could be the primary gatekeeper regulating homeostatic modulation of intestinal calcium absorption efficiency.
. For ease of study in the laboratory, the stress responses are often provoked by the external addition of chemical oxidants that specifically elevate the levels of reactive oxygen species within cells, or by the use of mutant strains that disrupt the normal “homeostatic mechanisms” for removing reactive oxygen species or the damage they do.
Low intestinal calcium absorption efficiency in humans is common and contributes to negative calcium balance and bone loss [ 1 ] . Recent epidemiological evidence suggests that low fractional calcium absorption is a significant risk factor for future osteoporotic hip fracture [ 2 ] . The primary homeostatic mechanism for altering calcium absorption in response to low dietary calcium intake and increased calcium requirements during growth is an increase in plasma 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, the active hormonal form of vitamin D produced in the kidney [ 3 ] . 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D is a seco-steroid that acts on gene transcription through a nuclear steroid receptor protein and also may have nongenomic actions mediated by a putative plasma membrane vitamin D receptor [ 4 ] . Changes in vitamin D status primarily alter the rate of Ca absorption in the proximal small intestine.
Deletion of the cycle gene in Drosophila produces flies that have an exaggerated homeostatic response to rest deprivation in addition to their lack of circadian rhythmicity [ 16 ] . In a striking parallel to our current results, flies with a mutation in the cryptochrome gene also exhibit increased rest time as well as a reduced compensatory response to rest deprivation (P.
