BackgroundClock genes are considered to be the molecular core of biological clock in vertebrates and they are directly involved in the regulation of daily rhythms in vertebrate tissues such as skeletal muscles. Fish myotomes are composed of anatomically segregated fast and slow muscle fibers that possess different metabolic and contractile properties. To date, there is no report on the characterization of the circadian clock system components of slow muscles in fish.ResultsIn the present study, the molecular clock components (clock,arntl1/2,cry1/2/3,cry-dash,npas2,nr1d1/2,per1/2/3,rorαandtimgenes) and their daily transcription levels were characterized in slow and fast muscles of Chinese perch (Siniperca chuatsi). Among the 15 clock genes,nrld2andper3had no daily rhythmicity in slow muscles, andcry2/3andtimdisplayed no daily rhythmicity in fast muscles of the adult fish. In the slow muscles, the highest expression of the most clock paralogs occurred at the dark period exceptarntl1,nr1d1,nr1d2andtim. With the exception ofnr1d2andtim, the other clock genes had an acrophase at the light period in fast muscles. The circadian expression of the myogenic regulatory factors (mrf4andmyf5),mstnandpncashowed either a positive or a negative correlation with the transcription pattern of the clock genes in both types of muscles.ConclusionsIt was the first report to unravel the molecular clock components of the slow and fast muscles in vertebrates. The expressional pattern differences of the clock genes between the two types of muscle fibers suggest that the clock system may play key roles on muscle type-specific tissue maintenance and function.
