Project description:Environmental factors such as temperature can modulate animal’s lifespan. However, the underlying mechanisms remain largely undefined. Through proteomic analysis of C. elegans at different time points (young adult, middle age, and old age) and under two temperature conditions (20°C and 25°C), we found that temperature affects C. elegans lifespan largely by modulating the proteostasis. Surprisingly, although animals live shorter at the higher temperature, we found that worms cultured at 25°C for one day at early adulthood promotes the protein homeostasis by decreasing the synthesis and increasing the degradation, suggesting the beneficial effects. Consistent with the finding, animals shifting from 20°C to 25°C for 24 hours between the larval L4 to adult Day 3 stages indeed live longer and are more resistant to stresses. Furthermore, we found that the one-day thermal induced lifespan extension is mediated by the FOXO transcriptional factor DAF-16. These results reveal an unexpected and complicated mechanism underlying the temperature effects on aging, which could potentially aid to develop strategies for treating aging related diseases.

Project description:Exposure to mild early-life stresses can slow down the aging process, in which protein phosphorylation might be an essential regulator. Currently, the understanding of phosphorylation-based regulatory networks under mild early-life stress remains elusive. Herein, we systematically analyzed the phosphoproteomes of C. elegans, which were treated with three kinds of mild temperature (15°C, 20°C, and 25°C) from two different short-term groups (10 min and 60 min). By utilizing iTRAQ-based quantitative phosphoproteomic approach, a total of 18187 phosphorylation sites from 3330 proteins were identified. Volcano plots illustrated that the phosphorylation abundance of 374 proteins (15°C) and 347 proteins (25°C), were significantly changed, respectively. Gene ontology, KEGG pathway and protein-protein interaction network analysis revealed that these phosphoproteins were mainly involved in metabolism, translation, development, and lifespan determination. Motif analysis of kinase substrates suggested that MAPK, CK and CAMK were most likely involved in the adaption processes. Moreover, 16 and 14 aging-regulated proteins underwent phosphorylation modifications under the mild stress of 15°C and 25°C, respectively, indicating these proteins might be important for maintaining long-term health. Further experiments of lifespan confirmed that the candidate phosphoproteins, e.g.; EGL-27, XNP-1, and GTBP-1 could regulate lifespan at 15°C, 20°C, and 25°C, and showed increased tolerance to heat and oxidative stresses. In summary, our findings provided a wealth of datasets to better understand the phosphorylation mechanism of mild early-life stresses in C. elegans.

Project description:Recent research has highlighted that the polyphenols Quercetin (Q) and Tannic acid (TA) are capable of extending the lifespan of C. elegans. To gain a deep understanding of the underlying molecular genetics, we analyzed the global transcriptional patterns of nematodes exposed to Quercetin or Tannic acid concentrations that are non-effective (in lifespan extension), lifespan extending or toxic. The global transcriptome was compared in wild type nematodes raised in the presence of 0, 50, 100, and 200 µM Quercetin (Q) or 0, 100, 200, and 300 µM Tannic acid (TA).

Project description:One of the most important issues in the study of aging is to discover compounds with longevity-promoting activity and to unravel their underlying mechanisms. Queen honey bees are continuously fed royal jelly (RJ), and they live more than 10 times longer than hive workers, derived from the same diploid genome, which are fed it only for a short period of time during their larval stages. Therefore, RJ is likely to contain longevity-promoting agents for queens. RJ has been reported to possess diverse pharmacological properties. Furthermore, protease-treated RJ (pRJ) has additional beneficial activities. How RJ and pRJ exert these effects and which components in them play a critical role is largely unknown. The evolutionally conserved mechanisms that control lifespan have been indicated. The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has been widely used for study of aging and longevity, due to its relatively short lifespan and well-established genetic pathways. The purpose of the present study was to elucidate whether RJ and its related substances contain the life span-extending activity in C. elegans and to obtain some insight into the active agents and their mechanisms. We found that both RJ and pRJ extended the lifespan of C. elegans. The life span-extending activity of pRJ was enriched by ODS column chromatography (pRJ-Fraction 5). pRJ-Fr. 5 extended the life span partly by acting through the FOXO transcription factor DAF-16, the activation of which is known to promote longevity in C. elegans by reducing insulin/IGF-1 signaling (IIS). pRJ-Fr. 5 induced changes in the expression of 3 genes encoding insulin-like peptides. Moreover, pRJ-Fr. 5 and reduced IIS shared some common features in terms of their effect on gene expression, such as up-regulation of dod-3 and down-regulation of dod-19, dao-4 and fkb-4. The dod-19 is a previously identified life span determinant in C. elegans, and the fkb-4 encodes a homologue of the mammalian FK506-binding protein. 10-Hydroxy-2-decenoic acid (10-HDA), which was present in high concentration in pRJ-Fr. 5, increased the lifespan independently of DAF-16 activity.These results demonstrate that RJ and its related substances extended the life span in C. elegans, suggesting that RJ may contain longevity-promoting factors common to diverse species across phyla. pRJ-Fr. 5 had higher life span-extending activity than either RJ or pRJ and extended the life span in part through the IIS-DAF-16 pathway. We provide the first evidence that 10-HDA, a defined natural product in RJ, extended organismal lifespan. It is noteworthy that 10-HDA performed its lifespan-extending function through a mechanism totally different from the IIS-DAF-16 pathway. Further search and characterization of the lifespan-extending agents in RJ and pRJ may broaden our understanding of the gene network of longevity regulation in diverse species and provide the possibility for nutraceutical interventions in the aging process. C. elegans N2 hermaphrodites were untreated or treated with pRJ-Fr. 5 (25mg/ml) for 24 h starting at the larval 4 (L4) stage.

Project description:To identify genes differentially expressed during the molt, we collected RNA 30-40 minutes after feeding cessation at the start of the fourth larval stage (L4) lethargus. Additional time points for RNA collection were in the mid-L4 stage, approximately four hours prior to lethargus, and in the young adult stage, four hours after lethargus. These samples were interrogated with the Affymetrix C. elegans Genome Array. A total of 1,804 gene transcripts were up regulated, and 1,088 gene transcripts were down regulated, during the L4 lethargus period compared to the L4 and Adult stages (false discovery rate (FDR) < 0.05). There were a total of 3 groups and 5x replication for each group, for 15 total samples that were analyzed. The groups were (1) L4, (2) L4-lethargus, (3) Adult. We generated the following pairwise comparisons using R/maanova: L4-lethargus vs L4, L4-lethargus vs Adult. The permutation based p-values for each test were multiplied by 2 and transcripts with an FDRM-bM-^IM-$5% were selected.

Project description:RNA ligation can regulate RNA function by altering RNA sequence, structure and coding potential. For example, the function of XBP1 in mediating the unfolded protein response requires RNA ligation, as does the maturation of some tRNAs. Here, we describe a novel in vivo model in C. elegans for the conserved RNA ligase RtcB, and show that RtcB ligates the xbp 1 mRNA during the IRE 1 branch of the unfolded protein response. Without RtcB, protein stress results in the accumulation of unligated xbp-1 mRNA fragments, defects in the unfolded protein response, and decreased lifespan. RtcB also ligates endogenous pre tRNA halves, and RtcB mutants have defects in growth and lifespan that can be bypassed by expression of pre-spliced tRNAs. In addition, animals that lack RtcB have defects that are independent of tRNA maturation and the unfolded protein response. Thus, RNA ligation by RtcB is required for the function of multiple endogenous target RNAs including both xbp-1 and tRNAs. RtcB is uniquely capable of performing these ligation functions, and RNA ligation by RtcB mediates multiple essential processes in vivo. 4 paired-end RNA-seq reads. Control worms have pre-spliced tRNAs, RtcB-null have mutated RtcB, +/- tunicamycin treatment

Project description:Recent work has shown that small non-coding RNAs, including miRNAs, serve an important role in controlling gene expression during development and disease. However, little detailed information exists concerning the relative expression patterns of small RNAs during development of C. elegans. Here we use recent advances in high-throughput sequencing technology to show that expression of non-coding small RNAs, including miRNAs, changes dynamically during development and in the different sexes of C. elegans; approximately 16% of known miRNAs changed over 10 fold in expression during C. elegans development and about 12% of miRNAs showed major changes in expression between males and hermaphrodites of C. elegans. These results should lead to a better understanding of the expression and function of small RNAs in C. elegans development. For data usage terms and conditions, please refer to http://www.genome.gov/27528022 and http://www.genome.gov/Pages/Research/ENCODE/ENCODEDataReleasePolicyFinal2008.pdf Examination of small RNA expression in six different developmental stages of hermaphrodites (Embryo, mid-L1, mid-L2, mid-L3, mid-L4, young adult), and young adult males (dpy-28;him-8) and spermatogenesis-defective young adult hermaphrodites (spe-9). The number of sequence reads for miRNA was assessed from the raw sequence data from Solexa sequencing using perfect sequence matching to known miRNAs (miRBase Release 11.0).

Project description:In vertebrate muscle, loss of Dysferlin results in the activation of compensatory muscle gene expression, even at pre-pathological stages. We hypothesized that if C. elegans fer-1 is also expressed in muscle, then fer-1 mutant worms might also exhibit compensatory muscle gene expression. To test this hypothesis, we used Affymetrix microarrays to profile gene expression from synchronized wild type and fer-1 mutant adults. To improve the specificity of this approach, we profiled two well characterized loss-of-function fer-1 mutants (hc1ts and hc24ts) and considered genes that changed similarly in both mutants as fer-1-regulated transcripts. Experiment Overall Design: For each genotype, six individual replicates were performed and were hybridized to Affymetrix C. elegans Genechips using the manufacturerâs recommended protocols. The best four preparations (as determined by the overall Pearson Correlation within a genotype) were used for RNA labeling and hybridization.
