RNA sequencing of mouse hepatic response to lifespan-extending interventions

ABSTRACT: This dataset consists of hepatic gene expression profiles of mice subjected to 8 different lifespan-extending interventions, together with the corresponding age-, sex- and strain-matched littermate controls: caloric restriction (CR), methionine restriction (MR), growth hormone receptor knockout (GHRKO), Snell dwarf mice (Pit1 -/-), rapamycin, acarbose, 17-alpha-estradiol (17aE2) and Protandim. Both sexes and different age groups are presented within dataset. Using this data, we identified general and specific gene expression patterns associated with lifespan extension. We detected a feminization effect associated with growth hormone regulation and diminution of sex-related differences in response to many interventions at transcriptome and metabolome levels. Combining the dataset with publicly available resources, we found that many interventions exhibited similar transcriptome changes, whereas some, including rapamycin, showed distinct patterns. We identified common hepatic signatures of lifespan extension, e.g. upregulation of oxidative phosphorylation and NRF2-regulated enzymes, and found that many perturbed pathways are shared across tissues. Moreover, the response of genes related to glucose metabolism and immune function represented both qualitative and quantitative associations with longevity. Finally, we used the detected longevity signatures to identify new candidates for lifespan extension and built GENtervention, a tool that visualizes associations of gene expression responses with lifespan extension.

Project description:Analysis of gene expression in two long-lived daf-2 mutant (mutation in the insulin/IGF-1 receptor) and eat-2 mutant (caloric restriction model), comparison of gene expression profiles of two long-lived mutants provide novel insight into longevity Impaired insulin/IGF-1 signaling (IIS) pathway and caloric restriction (CR) are two well-established interventions to prolong lifespan in worm C. elegans. Although many studies using “-omics” approaches have gained informative knowledges on key longevity regulators in either IIS or CR models, few of those investigated the shared regulators between these two longevity interventions and integrated the messages from different –omics studies. In this study, we aimed to identify key pathways and metabolite fingerprints of longevity shared between the two interventions in worms using a multi-omics integration approach. We collected transcriptomics and metabolomics data from two long-lived mutant worm strains, i.e. daf-2 (impaired IIS pathway) and eat-2 (CR model) and compared with N2 strain. We detected many key pathways that were upregulated at the gene expression level in both long-lived mutants, such as defense response and lipid storage, while synthesis of macromolecules and developmental processes were downregulated at the transcript level. From our polar metabolite analysis, we discovered several shared metabolic features between the two long-lived mutants, including glycerol-3P, adenine, xanthine and AMP. In addition, we detected a lowered amino acid pool and two fatty acid species, C18:0 and C17:1, that behaved similarly in both long-lived mutants. After we integrated transcriptomics and metabolomics data based on the annotations in KEGG, our results highlighted a downregulation of pyrimidine metabolism and upregulation of purine metabolism in both long-lived mutants compared to N2 worms. Overall, our findings point towards the existence of shared metabolic pathways that are important for lifespan extension and provide novel insight of potential regulators and metabolic fingerprints for longevity.
