Evidence has emerged not only for circadian governance over stroke risk factors, but also for important determinants of clinical outcome. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of the interplay between chronobiology and cerebrovascular disease. We discuss circadian regulation of pathophysiological mechanisms underlying stroke onset or tolerance as well as in vascular dementia. This includes cell death mechanisms, metabolism, mitochondrial ...

Circadian Effects on Vascular Immunopathologies
Circ Res. 2024 Mar 15;134(6):791-809. doi: 10.1161/CIRCRESAHA.123.323619. Epub 2024 Mar 14.ABSTRACTCircadian rhythms exert a profound impact on most aspects of mammalian physiology, including the immune and cardiovascular systems. Leukocytes engage in time-of-day-dependent interactions with the vasculature, facilitating the emigration to and the immune surveillance of tissues. This review provides an overview of circadian control of immune-vascular interactions in both the steady state and cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis and infarction. Circadian rhythms impact both the immune and vascular facets of these i...

Circadian Clock and Hypoxia
Circ Res. 2024 Mar 15;134(6):618-634. doi: 10.1161/CIRCRESAHA.124.323518. Epub 2024 Mar 14.ABSTRACTThe timing of life on Earth is remarkable: between individuals of the same species, a highly similar temporal pattern is observed, with shared periods of activity and inactivity each day. At the individual level, this means that over the course of a single day, a person alternates between two states. They are either upright, active, and communicative or they lie down in a state of (un)consciousness called sleep where even the characteristic of neuronal signals in the brain shows distinctive properties. The circadian clock gov...

Hypertension: Causes and Consequences of Circadian Rhythms in Blood Pressure
Circ Res. 2024 Mar 15;134(6):810-832. doi: 10.1161/CIRCRESAHA.124.323515. Epub 2024 Mar 14.ABSTRACTHypertension is extremely common, affecting approximately 1 in every 2 adults globally. Chronic hypertension is the leading modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease and premature mortality worldwide. Despite considerable efforts to define mechanisms that underlie hypertension, a potentially major component of the disease, the role of circadian biology has been relatively overlooked in both preclinical models and humans. Although the presence of daily and circadian patterns has been observed from the level of the geno...

Circadian Mechanisms in Brain Fluid Biology
Circ Res. 2024 Mar 15;134(6):711-726. doi: 10.1161/CIRCRESAHA.123.323516. Epub 2024 Mar 14.ABSTRACTThe brain is a complex organ, fundamentally changing across the day to perform basic functions like sleep, thought, and regulating whole-body physiology. This requires a complex symphony of nutrients, hormones, ions, neurotransmitters and more to be properly distributed across the brain to maintain homeostasis throughout 24 hours. These solutes are distributed both by the blood and by cerebrospinal fluid. Cerebrospinal fluid contents are distinct from the general circulation because of regulation at brain barriers including t...

Circadian Influences on Myocardial Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury and Heart Failure
Circ Res. 2024 Mar 15;134(6):675-694. doi: 10.1161/CIRCRESAHA.123.323522. Epub 2024 Mar 14.ABSTRACTThe impact of circadian rhythms on cardiovascular function and disease development is well established, with numerous studies in genetically modified animals emphasizing the circadian molecular clock's significance in the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of myocardial ischemia and heart failure progression. However, translational preclinical studies targeting the heart's circadian biology are just now emerging and are leading to the development of a novel field of medicine termed circadian medicine. In this review, we explore...

Circadian and Diurnal Regulation of Cerebral Blood Flow
Circ Res. 2024 Mar 15;134(6):695-710. doi: 10.1161/CIRCRESAHA.123.323049. Epub 2024 Mar 14.ABSTRACTCircadian and diurnal variation in cerebral blood flow directly contributes to the diurnal variation in the risk of stroke, either through factors that trigger stroke or due to impaired compensatory mechanisms. Cerebral blood flow results from the integration of systemic hemodynamics, including heart rate, cardiac output, and blood pressure, with cerebrovascular regulatory mechanisms, including cerebrovascular reactivity, autoregulation, and neurovascular coupling. We review the evidence for the circadian and diurnal variatio...

Epub 2024 Mar 14.ABSTRACTMammalian physiology and cellular function are subject to significant oscillations over the course of every 24-hour day. It is likely that these daily rhythms will affect function as well as mechanisms of disease in the central nervous system. In this review, we attempt to survey and synthesize emerging studies that investigate how circadian biology may influence the neurovascular unit. We examine how circadian clocks may operate in neural, glial, and vascular compartments, review how circadian mechanisms regulate cell-cell s...

Circadian Rhythms of the Blood-Brain Barrier and Drug Delivery
Circ Res. 2024 Mar 15;134(6):727-747. doi: 10.1161/CIRCRESAHA.123.323521. Epub 2024 Mar 14.ABSTRACTThe blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a critical interface separating the central nervous system from the peripheral circulation, ensuring brain homeostasis and function. Recent research has unveiled a profound connection between the BBB and circadian rhythms, the endogenous oscillations synchronizing biological processes with the 24-hour light-dark cycle. This review explores the significance of circadian rhythms in the context of BBB functions, with an emphasis on substrate passage through the BBB. Our discussion includes efflux...

Circadian Regulation of Cardiac Arrhythmias and Electrophysiology
Circ Res. 2024 Mar 15;134(6):659-674. doi: 10.1161/CIRCRESAHA.123.323513. Epub 2024 Mar 14.ABSTRACTCircadian rhythms in physiology and behavior are ≈24-hour biological cycles regulated by internal biological clocks (ie, circadian clocks) that optimize organismal homeostasis in response to predictable environmental changes. These clocks are present in virtually all cells in the body, including cardiomyocytes. Many decades ago, clinicians and researchers became interested in studying daily patterns of triggers for sudden cardiac death, the incidence of sudden cardiac death, and cardiac arrhythmias. This review highlights h...

Circadian Rhythms in Cardiovascular Metabolism

Epub 2024 Mar 14.ABSTRACTEnergetic demand and nutrient supply fluctuate as a function of time-of-day, in alignment with sleep-wake and fasting-feeding cycles. These daily rhythms are mirrored by 24-hour oscillations in numerous cardiovascular functional parameters, including blood pressure, heart rate, and myocardial contractility. It is, therefore, not surprising that metabolic processes also fluctuate over the course of the day, to ensure temporal needs for ATP, building blocks, and metabolism-based signaling molecules are met. What has become incr...
