The small GTPase RhoA, and its down-stream effector ROCK kinase, and the interacting Rac1 and mTORC2 pathways, are the principal regulators of the actin cytoskeleton and actin-related functions in all eukaryotic cells, including the immune cells. As such, they also regulate the phenotypes and functions of macrophages in the immune response and beyond. Here, we review the results of our and other’s studies on the role of the actin and RhoA pathway in shaping the macrophage functions in general and macrophage immune response during the development of chronic (long term) rejection of allografts in the rodent cardiac transplantation model. We focus on the importance of timing of the macrophage functions in chronic rejection and how the circadian rhythm may affect the anti-chronic rejection therapies.

In mammals, the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of the hypothalamus appears to act as a circadian clock. The SCN vasoactive intestinal polypeptide-like immunoreactive neurons, which may act to mediate photic information in the SCN, receive input from neurons immunoreactive for somatostatin (SST). Therefore we investigated the role of SST as a transmitter for entrainment by analyzing the phase-resetting effect of SST on the circadian rhythm of SCN firing activity. Perfusion of SST increased 2-deoxyglucose uptake at circadian time (CT) 18, but not at CT6. A 1-h or 15-min treatment with SST produced phase delays when it was administered at CT13-14 and phase advances at CT22-23. Thus SST-induced phase changes are similar to those for light pulses to animals under constant darkness. The present findings suggest that SST is a transmitter for mediating information of entrainment to circadian clocks within the SCN.
