A TORC1/histone axis regulates chromatin organization and non-canonical induction of autophagy to ameliorate ageing

ABSTRACT: Modulation of histone levels is commonly seen during ageing in many species. However, any role for histone levels in longevity of multicellular organisms remains undiscovered. Here we show that inhibition of mTORC1 by rapamycin post-transcriptionally increases expression of histone proteins H3 and H4 in Drosophila intestine. Expression of H3/H4 in enterocytes alters chromatin organization, induces intestinal autophagy through transcriptional regulation, and prevents age-related structural and functional decline in the intestine. Increased H3/H4 expression in enterocytes is essential for rapamycin-dependent longevity and intestinal health. Histones H3/H4 regulate expression of a selective autophagy cargo adaptor Bchs (ALFY in mammals), increased expression of which in enterocytes is necessary and sufficient for increased H3/H4-dependent healthy longevity. In mice, rapamycin treatment increases expression of histone proteins and ALFY transcript, and alters chromatin organisation in small intestine, suggesting the mTORC1-histone axis is at least partially conserved in mammals and may offer new targets for anti-ageing interventions.

Full geroprotection from brief rapamycin treatment by persistently increased intestinal autophagy

Project description:The licensed drug rapamycin has potential to be repurposed for geroprotection. A key challenge is to avoid the adverse side-effects of clinical dosing regimes. Here we show a profound memory effect of brief rapamycin treatment. Brief, early adult treatment extended lifespan in Drosophila to the same degree as lifelong dosing. Lasting memory of earlier rapamycin treatment was mediated by elevated autophagy in enterocytes of the gut, accompanied by increased intestinal spermidine levels and improved structure and function of the ageing intestine. Brief elevation of autophagy itself induced a long-term increase in autophagy. In mice, short-term, 3-month treatment also induced a full memory effect, with enhanced autophagy in Paneth cells, improved Paneth cell architecture and gut barrier function at levels induced by chronic treatment, even 6 months after rapamycin was withdrawn. Past rapamycin treatment also enhanced the regenerative potential of aged intestine in intestinal organoids. Full geroprotective effects of chronic rapamycin treatment can thus be obtained with a brief pulse of the drug.

The CRTC-1 transcriptional domain is required for COMPASS complex mediated longevity in C. elegans

Project description:Loss of function during ageing is accompanied by transcriptional drift, altering gene expression and contributing to a variety of age-related diseases. CREB-regulated transcriptional coactivators (CRTCs) have emerged as key regulators of gene expression that might be targeted to promote longevity. Here, we define the role of the Caenorhabditis elegans CRTC-1 in the epigenetic regulation of longevity. Endogenous CRTC-1 binds chromatin factors, including components of the COMPASS complex, which trimethylates lysine 4 on histone H3 (H3K4me3). CRISPR editing of endogenous CRTC-1 reveals that the CREB-binding domain in neurons is specifically required for H3K4me3-dependent longevity. However, this effect is independent of CREB but instead acts via the transcription factor AP-1. Strikingly, CRTC-1 also mediates global histone acetylation levels, and this acetylation is essential for H3K4me3-dependent longevity. Indeed, overexpression of an acetyltransferase enzyme is sufficient to promote longevity in wild-type worms. CRTCs, therefore, link energetics to longevity by critically fine-tuning histone acetylation and methylation to promote healthy ageing.

Control pull-downs testing the effect of histone native chemical ligation on protein binding to di-nucleosomes

Project description:Here we examined whether histones H3 and H4 produced using native chemical ligation reaction affect protein binding to di-nucleosomes. To test this we performed a set of affinity purification pull-downs using di-nucleosomes containing the following histones H3 and H4: 1. ligated unmodified histone H3 and recombinant wild type histone H4 (unmod. H3), 2. recombinant wild type histone H3 and ligated unmodified histone H4 (unmod. H4) 3. ligated unmodified histones H3 and H4 (unmod. H3&H4). 4. recombinant wild type histones H3 and H4 (WT) Each pull-down was performed in three replicates. Co-purified proteins were quantified using label-free MS. Note that ligated histones H3 and H4 contain T32C or I29C single amino acid substitutions, respectively, that are introduced by the native chemical ligation procedure. In addition, ligated histone H4 is N-terminally acetylated to mimic its naturally blocked N-terminus.

Spermidine Yeast Aging Array

Project description:Administration of spermidine, a natural polyamine whose intracellular concentration declines during human ageing, markedly extends the lifespan of various model organisms including yeast, flies and worms. In ageing yeast, spermidine treatment triggeres epigenetic deacetylation of histone H3 through inhibition of histone acetyltransferases (HAT), leading to induction of autophagy and thereby suppressing oxidative stress and necrosis. In order to further characterize the effects by spermidine supplementation of aging yeast cultures and to understand how global histone deacetylation affects gene transcription during aging, Affymetrix-based microarray analyses of three day old as well as ten day old cultures with and without administration of spermidine was performed.

A CellAge epigenetic clock for expedited discovery of anti-ageing compounds in vitro

Project description:We aim to improve anti-ageing drug discovery, currently achieved through laborious and lengthy longevity analysis. Recent studies demonstrated that the most accurate molecular method to measure human age is based on CpG methylation profiles, as exemplified by several epigenetics clocks that can accurately predict an individual’s age. Here, we developed CellAge, a new epigenetic clock that measures subtle ageing changes in primary human cells in vitro. As such it provides a unique tool to measure effects of relatively short pharmacological treatments on ageing. We validated our CellAge clock against known longevity drugs such as rapamycin and trametinib. Moreover, we uncovered novel anti-ageing drugs, torin2 and Dactolisib (BEZ-235), demonstrating the value of our approach as a screening and discovery platform for anti-ageing strategies. CellAge outperforms other epigenetic clocks in measuring subtle ageing changes in primary human cells in culture. The tested drug treatments reduced senescence and other ageing markers, further consolidating our approach as a screening platform. Finally, we showed that the novel anti-ageing drugs we uncovered in vitro, indeed increased longevity in vivo. Our method expands the scope of CpG methylation profiling from measuring human chronological and biological age from human samples in years, to accurately and rapidly detecting anti-ageing potential of drugs using human cells in vitro, providing a novel accelerated discovery platform to test sought after geroprotectors.

Exosome release is regulated by mTORC1 via a Rab27A-dependent mechanism

Project description:Exosomes are small membrane-bound vesicles released into extracellular spaces by many types of cells. These nanovesicles carry proteins, mRNA and miRNA and are involved in cell waste management and intercellular communication. In the present study we show that exosome release, which leads to net loss of cellular membrane and protein content, is negatively regulated by mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). We find that in cells and animal models exosome release is inhibited by sustained activation of mTORC1, leading to intracellular accumulation of CD63-positive exosome precursors. Inhibition of mTORC1 by rapamycin or nutrient and growth factor deprivation stimulates exosome release, which occurs concomitantly with autophagy. The drug-stimulated release is blocked by siRNA-mediated downregulation of small GTPase Rab27A. Analysis of the cargo content in exosomes released from rapamycin treated cells reveals that inhibition of mTORC1 does not alter its protein and miRNA profiles. These observations demonstrate that exosome release, like autophagy, is negatively regulated by mTORC1 in response to changes in nutrient and growth factor conditions

The histone chaperone NASP maintains H3-H4 reservoirs in the early Drosophila embryo

Project description:Histones are essential for chromatin packaging and histone supply must be tightly regulated as excess histones are toxic. To drive the rapid cell cycles of the early embryo, however, excess histones are maternally deposited. Therefore, soluble histones must be buffered by histone chaperones but the chaperone necessary to stabilize soluble H3-H4 pools in the Drosophila embryo has yet to be identified. Here, we show that CG8223, the Drosophila ortholog of NASP, is a H3-H4-specific chaperone in the early embryo. NASP specifically binds to H3-H4 in the early embryo. We demonstrate that, while NASP is non-essential in Drosophila, NASP is maternal effect lethal gene. Embryos laid by NASP mutant mothers have a reduce rate of hatching and show defects in early embryogenesis. Critically, soluble H3-H4 pools are degraded in embryos laid by NASP mutant mothers. Our work identifies NASP as the critical H3-H4 histone chaperone in the Drosophila embryo.
