Systemic lipolysis promotes healthspan in Drosophila melanogaster


ABSTRACT: 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.
