SummaryThe mammalian circadian clock drives daily oscillations in physiology and behavior through an autoregulatory transcription feedback loop present in central and peripheral cells. Ablation of the core clock within the endocrine pancreas of adult animals impairs the transcription and splicing of genes involved in hormone exocytosis and causes hypoinsulinemic diabetes. However, identification of druggable proteins and pathways to ameliorate the burden of circadian metabolic disease remains a challenge. Here, we generated β cells expressing a nano-luciferase reporter within the proinsulin polypeptide to screen 2,640 pharmacologically-active compounds and identify insulinotropic molecules that bypass the secretory defect in clock mutant β cells. We validated lead compounds in primary mouse islets and identified known modulators of ligandgated ion channels and G-protein coupled receptors, including the antihelmintic ivermectin. Single-cell electrophysiology in circadian mutant mouse and human cadaveric islets validated ivermectin as a glucose-dependent secretagogue. Genetic, genomic, and pharmacologic analyses established that the molecular clock controls the expression of the purinergic P2Y1 receptor to mediate the insulinotropic activity of ivermectin. These findings identify the P2Y1 purinergic receptor as a target to rescue circadian β-cell failure and establish a chemical genetic screen for endocrine therapeutics. |
