Figure Lengend Snippet: Cell-autonomous Bmal1 function in ALI culture of primary mouse tracheal cells. ALI cultures were established using primary tracheal epithelial cells from WT and global Bmal1−/− mice, with 7 d under submerged condition and another 10 d exposed to air in the apical side of cells. A, B) Electron microscopy images for cilia in ALI primary tracheal cells from WT and global Bmal1−/− mice, respectively. C, D) Immunofluorescence staining of cilia markers (acetylated tubulin) and epithelial cell markers (E-cadherin) in ALI primary tracheal cells from WT and global Bmal1−/− mice, respectively. E, F) Cxcl5 and Cxcl15 gene expression measurement by qPCR in ALI primary tracheal cells from WT and global Bmal1−/− mice. Data shown are means ± sd; Student’s t test (n = 3/genotype). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01. G) Expression of Bmal1 exon 8 in primary tracheal cells 2 d after infection. Data shown are means ± sd; Student’s t test (n = 3/genotype). ***P < 0.001. H) Bioluminescence traces of Per2-luc in control and Adv-Cre–transfected ALI primary tracheal cells 21 d in culture. I) Schematic description of viral Cre infection in primary tracheal cells from Bmal1flox/flox mice. J) Overlap of expression of rhythmic genes during ALI culture and LCM studies. K) KEGG pathway enrichment of DE genes in cell culture study. Pathways are ranked by significance value.
