    Abstract Circadian rhythms coordinate biological processes with Earth's 24-h daily light/dark cycle. In the last years, efforts in the field of chronobiology have sought to understand the ways in which the circadian clock controls transcription across tissues and cells. This has been supported by the development of different bioinformatic approaches that allow the identification of 24-h oscillating transcripts. This workflow aims to describe how to isolate muscle stem cells for RNA sequencing analysis from a typical circadian experiment and introduces bioinformatic tools suitable for the analysis of circadian transcriptomes.

    Abstract Circadian rhythms generate 24 h-long oscillations, which are key regulators of many aspects of behavior and physiology. Recent circadian transcriptome studies have discovered rhythmicity at the transcriptional level of hundreds of skeletal muscle genes, with roles in skeletal muscle growth, maintenance, and metabolic functions. These rhythms allow this tissue to perform molecular functions at the appropriate time of the day in order to anticipate environmental changes. However, while the last decade of research has characterized several aspects of the skeletal muscle molecular clock, many still are unexplored, including its functions, regulatory mechanisms, and interactions with other tissues. The central clock is believed to be located in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of the brain hypothalamus, providing entrainment to peripheral organs through humoral and neuronal signals. However, these mechanisms of action are still unknown. Conversely, muscle tissue can be entrained through extrinsic, SCN-independent factors, such as feeding and physical activity. In this review, we provide an overview of the recent research about the extrinsic and intrinsic factors required for skeletal muscle clock regulation. Furthermore, we discuss the need for future studies to elucidate the mechanisms behind this regulation, which will in turn help dissect the role of circadian disruption at the onset of aging and diseases.

    Abstract Acyl-CoA binding protein (ACBP), also called diazepam-binding inhibitor (DBI), is a ubiquitous protein that can be secreted from cells by an unconventional pathway. Depending on its levels and on its subcellular localization, ACBP/DBI can regulate lipid metabolism. Several studies have shown that ACBP/DBI is secreted by an autophagy-dependent mechanism, positioning this catabolic pathway as the mechanism that controls lipid metabolism through the intracellular modulation of the levels of this protein. Autophagy is activated, among other stimuli, when cells have increased energy requirements; this causes a drop in the intracellular ACBP/DBI levels due to its release into the extracellular space and triggers an increase in the lipid catabolism. Conversely, when autophagy is inhibited, during pathological (obesity) or physiological (after-meal) situations, the intracellular levels of ACBP/DBI increase resulting in the activation of lipid anabolism, this effect has been demonstrated to be the link between obesity and autophagy inhibition. Here, we detail three different protocols for the detection of the ACBP/DBI levels by immunofluorescence, image flow cytometry or immunoblot techniques, which allow the quantification of ACBP/DBI levels and, indirectly, its autophagy-dependent release.

    Abstract The best-known appetite-regulating factors identified in rodents are leptin, an appetite inhibitor, and ghrelin, an appetite stimulator. Rare cases of loss-of-functions mutations affecting leptin and its receptor, as well as polymorphisms concerning ghrelin and its receptor, have been documented in human obesity, apparently validating the relevance of leptin and ghrelin for human physiology. Paradoxically, however, the overwhelming majority of obese individuals manifest high leptin and low ghrelin plasma levels, suggesting that both factors are not directly disease-relevant. We recently discovered that acyl-CoA-binding protein (ACBP), also known as diazepam-binding inhibitor (DBI), acts as an efficient lipogenic and appetite stimulator in mice. Indeed, in response to starvation, ACBP/DBI is released from tissues in an autophagy-dependent fashion and increases in the plasma. Intravenous injection of ACBP/DBI stimulates feeding behavior through a reduction of circulating glucose levels, and consequent activation of orexigenic neurons in the hypothalamus. In contrast, neutralization of ACBP/DBI abolishes the hyperphagia observed after starvation of mice. Of note, ACBP/DBI is increased in the plasma of obese persons and mice, pointing to a convergence (rather than divergence) between its role in appetite stimulation and human obesity. Based on our results, we postulate a novel 'hunger reflex' in which starvation induces a surge in extracellular ACBP/DBI, which in turn stimulates feeding behavior. Thus, ACBP/DBI might be the elusive 'hunger factor' that explains increased food uptake in obesity.

    Abstract Type-2 diabetes is characterized by glycosuria, hyperglycemia, glucose intolerance, hyperinsulinemia, and insulin resistance. One or several among these alterations are also found after starvation, ketogenic diet, and pharmacological treatment with rapamycin or antibody-mediated neutralization of the obesogenic factor ACBP/DBI. Thus, a variety of metabolic interventions that improve metabolic health can induce a transient state of "pseudo-diabetes".

    Abstract Paradoxically, most if not all previously known appetite-stimulatory hormones are downregulated in human obesity, reflecting failing homeostatic circuitries. Recently, we discovered that acyl-coenzyme-A binding protein/diazepam-binding inhibitor (ACBP/DBI) acts as a lipogenic and appetite stimulator, when systemically injected into mice. ACBP/DBI plasma levels are also elevated in obese subjects, supporting the notion that it may represent the elusive "hunger protein" that explains overeating in human obesity.
