Abstract

The treatment of cultured rat-1 fibroblasts or H35 hepatoma cells with high concentrations of serum induces the circadian expression of various genes whose transcription also oscillates in living animals. Oscillating genes include rper1 and rper2 (rat homologs of the Drosophila clock gene period), and the genes encoding the transcription factors Rev-Erb alpha, DBP, and TEF. In rat-1 fibroblasts, up to three consecutive daily oscillations with an average period length of 22.5 hr could be recorded. The temporal sequence of the various mRNA accumulation cycles is the same in cultured cells and in vivo. The serum shock of rat-1 fibroblasts also results in a transient stimulation of c-fos and rper expression and thus mimics light-induced immediate-early gene expression in the suprachiasmatic nucleus.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Circadian oscillators are present in peripheral tissues such as liver, heart, lung, skeletal muscle, and adrenal glands.

    “circadian oscillators have been found in a number of peripheral tissues, such as liver, heart, lung, skeletal muscle, and adrenal glands [2, 3].”
  • Almost all cells in the body express the molecular machinery for the circadian clock.

    “it emerged that (almost) all cells in the body express the molecular machinery for the circadian clock.”

  • The molecular components of the peripheral clock mirror those of the SCN.

    “We and others have shown that the molecular components of the peripheral clock mirror those of the SCN (Balsalobre et al., 1998; Zheng et al., 1999; Zylka et al., 1998)”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
