RNA-seq data for: Anti-retroviral treatment with zidovudine alters pyrimidine metabolism, reduces translation, and extends healthy longevity via ATF-4

ABSTRACT: The human population is aging, and the need for interventions to slow progression of age-related diseases (geroprotective interventions) is growing. Repurposing compounds already used clinically, usually at modified doses, allows for rapid implementation of geroprotective pharmaceuticals. Here we find the anti-retroviral nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) zidovudine robustly extends lifespan and healthspan in C. elegans, independent of electron transport chain impairment or ROS accumulation. Rather, zidovudine treatment modifies pyrimidine metabolism and transcripts related to proteostasis. Testing regulators of mitochondrial stress and proteostasis shows that lifespan extension is dependent on activating transcription factor 4 (ATF-4). ATF-4 regulates longevity induced by mitochondrial stress, and specifically communication between mitochondrial and cytosolic translation. Translation is reduced in zidovudine-treated worms, also dependent on ATF-4. Finally, we show ATF-4-dependent lifespan extension induced by didanosine, another NRTI. Altogether, our work elucidates the geroprotective effects of NRTIs such as zidovudine in vivo, via reduction of translation and ATF-4.

Atf-6 regulates lifespan through ER-mitochondrial calcium homeostasis

Project description:Functional crosstalk between organelles is critical for maintaining cellular homeostasis. Individually, dysfunction of both endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondria have been linked to cellular and organismal aging, but little is known about how mechanisms of inter-organelle communication might be targeted to extended longevity. The metazoan unfolded protein response (UPR) maintains ER health through a variety of mechanisms beyond its canonical role in proteostasis, including calcium storage and lipid metabolism. Here we provide evidence that in C. elegans, inhibition of the conserved UPR mediator, activating transcription factor (atf)-6 increases lifespan via modulation of calcium homeostasis and signaling to the mitochondria. Loss of atf-6 confers long life via downregulation of the ER calcium buffering protein, calreticulin. Function of the ER calcium release channel, the inositol triphosphate receptor (IP3R/itr-1), is required for atf-6 mutant longevity while a gain-of-function IP3R/itr-1 mutation is sufficient to extend lifespan. IP3R dysfunction leads to altered mitochondrial behavior and hyperfused morphology, which is sufficient to suppress long life in atf-6 mutants. Highlighting a novel and direct role for this inter-organelle coordination of calcium in longevity, the mitochondrial calcium import channel, mcu-1, is also required for atf-6 mutant longevity. Altogether this study reveals the importance of organellar coordination of calcium handling in determining the quality of aging, and highlights calcium homeostasis as a critical output for the UPR and atf-6 in particular.

Effects of Sex, Strain, and Energy Intake on Hallmarks of Aging in Mice

Project description:Calorie restriction (CR) is the most robust non-genetic intervention to universally delay the onset of age-related diseases and extend mean and maximum lifespan. However, species, strain, sex, diet, age of onset, and level of CR are emerging as important variables to consider for a successful CR response. Here, we investigated the role of strain, sex and level of CR on outcomes of health and survival in mice. Response to CR varied from lifespan extension to no effect on survival, while consistently delaying the onset and impact of diseases independently of strain, sex and level of dietary restriction. CR led to transcriptional and metabolomics changes in the liver indicating anaplerotic filling of the Krebs cycle together with fatty acid fueling of mitochondria. Additionally, CR prevented the age-associated decline in the proteostasis network. Further, CR increased mitochondrial number and preserved their ultrastructure and function with age. Abrogation of mitochondrial function by deletion of fumarate hydratase or malate dehydrogenase 2 negated the life-prolonging effects of CR in yeast and worms. In F1 hybrid strains of mice, the lifespan response to CR tracked with the dam, indicating that the mitochondrial haplotype is an important regulator of CR. Our data illustrate the complexity of the CR responses within a single animal species in the context of aging, with a clear separation of outcomes related to health and survival, highlighting the complexities of translation of CR into human interventions. The study examines the effects of sex (male/female), mouse strain (DBA2/J versus C57BL/J), and diet (Ad libitum, 20% caloric restriction (20%CR), or 40%CR) using six biological replicate samples per group.

Systemic lipolysis promotes healthspan in Drosophila melanogaster

Project description:Since healthspan-extending interventions such as caloric restriction or fasting robustly promote lipid catabolism, we investigated how lifespan and healthspan were affected by increased lipid catabolism via bmm (brummer, FBgn0036449), the major triglyceride hydrolase in Drosophila. Global overexpression of bmm strongly promoted lifespan extension as well as numerous markers of healthspan, including increased female fecundity, fertility maintenance, preserved locomotion activity, increased mitochondrial biogenesis and oxidative metabolism. Increased Bmm robustly upregulated the heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) family of proteins, which equipped the flies with higher resistance to heat, cold, and ER stress via improved proteostasis. Overexpression of bmm recapitulated major physiological changes associated with dietary restriction (DR) and conveyed its effects through dSir2. Taken together, these data show that bmm overexpression has broad beneficial effects on healthspan, and implicate lipolysis as a key node underlying the beneficial effects of dietary interventions known to improve healthspan.

Mitochondrial ATP Synthase Subunit d Interacts with TOR Signaling and Dietary Macronutrients to Modulate Proteostasis and Lifespan in Drosophila

Project description:Diet composition is a critical determinant of lifespan and nutrient imbalance is detrimental health. However, how nutrients interact with genetic factors to modulate lifespan remains elusive. We investigated how diet composition influences mitochondrial ATP synthase subunit d (ATPsyn-d) in modulating lifespan in Drosophila. ATPsyn-d knockdown extended lifespan in females fed low carbohydrate-to-protein (C:P) diets, but not the high C:P ratio diet. We also measured changes in the genome-wide expression profile induced by ATPsyn-d knockdown. Lifespan extension induced by ATPsyn-d knockdown was associated with increased resistance to oxidative stress, transcriptional changes in metabolism, proteostasis and immune genes, reduced protein damage and aggregation, and reduced phosphorylation of S6K and ERK in TOR and MAPK signaling, respectively. Our data reveal a link among diet, mitochondria, MAPK and TOR signaling in aging and stresses the importance of considering genetic background and diet composition in implementing interventions for promoting healthy aging.

PGAM5 promotes lasting FoxO activation after developmental mitochondrial stress and extends lifespan in Drosophila

Project description:The mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPRmt) has been associated with long lifespan across metazoans. In Caenorhabditis elegans, mild developmental mitochondrial stress activates UPRmt reporters and extends lifespan. We show that similar developmental stress is necessary and sufficient to extend Drosophila lifespan, and identify Phosphoglycerate Mutase 5 (PGAM5) as a mediator of this response. Developmental mitochondrial stress leads to activation of FoxO, via Apoptosis Signal-regulating Kinase 1 (ASK1) and Jun-N-terminal Kinase (JNK). This activation persists into adulthood and induces a select set of chaperones, many of which have been implicated in lifespan extension in flies. Persistent FoxO activation can be reversed by a high- protein diet in adulthood, through mTORC1 and GCN-2 activity. Accordingly, the observed lifespan extension is prevented on a high-protein diet and in FoxO-null flies. The diet-sensitivity of this pathway has important implications for interventions that seek to engage the UPRmt to improve metabolic health and longevity.

Drug synergy slows ageing and improves healthspan through IGF and SREBP lipid signaling

Project description:Pharmacological interventions directly modulating ageing would extend human healthspan, resulting in dramatic medical and economic benefits. Such interventions should be efficacious in adults and ideally repurpose drugs known to be safe. Here we show that dramatic lifespan extension can be achieved by targeting multiple, evolutionarily conserved ageing pathways using drugs already used in humans. Using this approach in C. elegans, we were able to slow ageing, improve healthspan and minimize trade-offs. We show that daf-2, daf-7 and sbp-1 (mammalian SREBP-1c) interact upstream of changes in lipid metabolism, resulting in increased monounsaturated fatty acid content and lifespan extension. For one combination, we observed evolutionary conservation in fruit flies. To the best of our knowledge, this is the largest lifespan effect ever reported for any adult-onset drug treatment in C. elegans. Drug repurposing approaches, by leveraging drugs already approved for humans, could lead to rapid translation of experimental results to clinical applications.

RNA sequencing of mouse hepatic response to lifespan-extending interventions

Project description: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.
