Research Abstract

To identify target genes of DEC1, we utilized genome-wide chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP)-on-chip assay and found that DEC1 bound to the regulatory region of one of Na/K-ATPase genes. ChIP and luciferase reporter assays revealed that an E-box on the Na/K-ATPase gene promoter is a functional element governed by clock components. Since Na/K-ATPases are involved in the blood pressure regulation, we focused on a functional role of DEC1 in homeostasis and circadian regulation of blood pressure. In both kidney and aorta, robust circadian rhythms of the Na/K-ATPase expression were observed at mRNA and protein levels. DEC1-/- mice showed higher expression of Na/K-ATPase than wild type mice. In addition, DEC1-/- mice showed lower blood pressure than wild-type mice. In contrast, CLOCK mutant mice showed a lower expression level of Na/K-ATPase and higher blood pressure. We conclude that DEC1 regulates circadian variation of blood pressure via Na/K-ATPase gene expression.
