Alteration of circadian regulatory gene expression by hypophosphatemia in callus and growth plate tissues. (AJ) mRNA expression of central circadian clock genes in callus and growth plate tissue isolated over a 24 hour period 12 days after the mice were placed on a hypophosphatemic diet. Tissues were harvested every three hours from mice in both groups (n = 3, in each group by time points). Error bars represent ±1 standard error of the mean of the 2–3 repeat analyses performed on six samples per group. #Indicates peak time point (p < 0.05); A significant diet effect in two-way ANOVA (p < 0.05) is indicated in the upper left of the figure. (K) Analysis of Per2-driven bioluminescence in callus tissues of control (C) and hypophosphatemic (Pi) animals when cultured ex vivo over a 39 hour period in medium containing 1.0 mM or 0.25 mM phosphate, respectively. (L) Bar graphs of detrended data calculating the periodicity of Per2 in control (25.12 ± 1.45 hours) and Pi (27.86 ± 2.45 hours) (p = 0.023). n = 8 in each group.
