タイトル Photoperiod decoder 1 regulates seasonal changes in energy metabolism through the growth hormone signaling pathway
Abstract Seasonal changes in metabolism are crucial for animals to adapt to annual environmental fluctuations. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying these adaptations remain poorly understood. Here, we identified a novel gene, photoperiod decoder 1 ( phod1 ), which exhibits a unique bimodal expression pattern under long-day conditions in Japanese medaka fish ( Oryzias latipes ). While phod1 is conserved across many vertebrates, except for eutherians, its function remained unknown. Single-cell RNA sequencing analysis revealed that phod1 is predominantly expressed in specific pituitary cells that co-express opsin and circadian clock genes. Transcriptomic analysis using phod1 knockout fish demonstrated that phod1 is essential for photoperiodic regulation of growth hormone. Furthermore, transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses of the liver, the primary target of growth hormone, revealed significant alterations in energy metabolism. Behavioral analysis also showed that phod1 knockout fish exhibited significantly reduced locomotor activity. These findings indicate that phod1 plays a crucial role in seasonal metabolic adaptation through modulation of the growth hormone signaling pathway.
