Circadian rhythms have an established role in regulating physiological processes, such as inflammation, immunity, and metabolism. Ozone, a common environmental pollutant with strong oxidative potential, is implicated in lung inflammation/injury in asthmatics. However, whether O3 exposure affects the expression of circadian clock genes in the lungs is not known. In this study, changes in the expression of core clock genes are analyzed in the lungs of adult female and male mice exposed to filtered air (FA) or O3 using qRT-PCR. The findings are confirmed using an existing RNA-sequencing dataset from repeated FA- and O3 -exposed mouse lungs and validated by qRT-PCR. Acute O3 exposure significantly alters the expression of clock genes in the lungs of females (Per1, Cry1, and Rora) and males (Per1). RNA-seq data revealing sex-based differences in clock gene expression in the airway of males (decreased Nr1d1/Rev-erbα) and females (increased Skp1), parenchyma of females and males (decreased Nr1d1 and Fbxl3 and increased Bhlhe40 and Skp1), and alveolar macrophages of males (decreased Arntl/Bmal1, Per1, Per2, Prkab1, and Prkab2) and females (increased Cry2, Per1, Per2, Csnk1d, Csnk1e, Prkab2, and Fbxl3). These findings suggest that lung inflammation caused by O3 exposure affects clock genes which may regulate key signaling pathways.
