RNA seq to determine differential gene expression in pgph-2 oe C.elegans animals and the subset of HLH-30-dependent genes on normal growth and excess glucose conditions.

ABSTRACT: Metabolic stress caused by excess nutrients accelerates aging. We recently demonstrated that the newly-discovered enzyme glycerol-3-phosphate phosphatase (G3PP; gene Pgp), which operates an evolutionarily conserved glycerol shunt that hydrolyzes glucose-derived glycerol-3-phosphate to glycerol, counters metabolic stress and promotes healthy aging in C. elegans. However, the mechanism whereby G3PP activation extends healthspan and lifespan, particularly under glucotoxicity, remained unknown. We demonstrated that G3PP (PGPH-2) overexpression activates three key longevity factors, AMPK, the TFEB homolog HLH-30, and autophagy, and is an attractive target for age-related metabolic disorders linked to excess nutrients. This transcriptomics analysis was designed to determine genes that are differentially regulated in pgph-2 oe animals in comparison to wild-type animals on normal and excess glucose conditions. To determine the role of HLH-30 in the regulation of gene expression, we also used pgph-2 oe; hlh-30 and hlh-30 mutant animals and found a signature mediated by pgph-2 oe and HLH-30-dependent.

Glycerol 3-phosphate phosphatase/PGPH-2 counters metabolic stress and promotes healthy aging via a glycogen sensing-AMPK-HLH-30-autophagy axis in C. elegans

Project description:Metabolic stress caused by excess nutrients accelerates aging. We recently demonstrated that the newly discovered enzyme glycerol-3-phosphate phosphatase (G3PP; gene Pgp), which operates an evolutionarily conserved glycerol shunt that hydrolyzes glucose-derived glycerol-3-phosphate to glycerol, counters metabolic stress and promotes healthy aging in C. elegans. However, the mechanism whereby G3PP activation extends healthspan and lifespan, particularly under glucotoxicity, remained unknown. Here, we show that the overexpression of the C. elegans G3PP homolog, PGPH-2, decreases fat levels and mimics, in part, the beneficial effects of calorie restriction, particularly in glucotoxicity conditions, without reducing food intake. PGPH-2 overexpression depletes glycogen stores activating AMP-activate protein kinase, which leads to the HLH-30 nuclear translocation and activation of autophagy, promoting healthy aging. Transcriptomics reveal an HLH-30-dependent longevity and catabolic gene expression signature with PGPH-2 overexpression. Thus, G3PP overexpression activates three key longevity factors, AMPK, the TFEB homolog HLH-30, and autophagy, and may be an attractive target for age-related metabolic disorders linked to excess nutrients.

Global proteomic- and transcriptomic analyses of starvation responses reveal a central role for lipoprotein metabolism in acute starvation survival in C. elegans

Project description:The molecular mechanisms underlying the physiological and cellular response to starvation are still not fully understood. We have used quantitative proteomics and RNA-seq to examine the temporal responses to starvation in the multicellular organism C. elegans, comparing the response in both wild type animals and in animals lacking the transcription factor HLH-30. Our findings show that starvation alters the abundance of hundreds of proteins and mRNAs in a temporal manner, many of which are involved in central metabolic pathways including lipoprotein metabolism. We show that hlh-30 animals die prematurely when starved, which can be prevented by knockdown of either vit-1 or vit-5, encoding two different lipoproteins. We show that the size and number of intestinal lipid droplets under starvation are altered in hlh-30 animals, that can be rescued by knockdown of vit-1, indicating that rescue of survival of hlh-30 animals under starvation conditions is closely linked to the size and number of intestinal lipid droplets.

Phosphoglycolate phosphatase homologs act as glycerol-3-phosphate phosphatase to control stress and healthspan in C. elegans

Project description:Metabolic stress due to nutrient excess and lipid accumulation is at the root of many age-associated disorders and the identification of therapeutic targets that mimic the beneficial effects of calorie restriction has clinical importance. Here, using C. elegans as a model organism, we study the roles of a recently discovered enzyme at the heart of metabolism in mammalian cells, glycerol-3-phosphate phosphatase (G3PP) (gene name Pgp) that hydrolyzes glucose-derived glycerol-3-phosphate to glycerol. We identify three Pgp homologues in C. elegans (pgph) and demonstrate in vivo that their protein products have G3PP activity, essential for glycerol synthesis. We demonstrate that PGPH/G3PP regulates the adaptation to various stresses, in particular hyperosmolarity and glucotoxicity. Enhanced G3PP activity reduces fat accumulation, promotes healthy aging and acts as a calorie restriction mimetic at normal food intake without altering fertility. Thus, PGP/G3PP can be considered as a target for age-related metabolic disorders.

A cascade for zinc mediated transcriptional activation by the zinc-sensing nuclear receptor HIZR-1 on the regulator of lysosome biogenesis HLH-30 to achieve homeostasis

Project description:Zinc is an essential element for animals and stored in de novo synthesized lysosome related organelles called bilobed granules in Caenorhabditis elegans. Defining how zinc regulated transcription drives the observed lysosome remodeling is key to understand zinc homeostasis processes. Here we describe a positively regulated zinc network controlled by HIZR-1 and HLH-30, the zinc sensor and the master regulator of the autophagy-lysosomal pathway in Caenorhabditis elegans, respectively; essential for connecting zinc homeostasis to lysosome biogenesis. Our studies indicate that either hizr-1 and hlh-30 are necessary and sufficient to activate transcription of lysosome-genes under high dietary zinc conditions. Consistent with the hizr-1 and hlh-30 dependency for high zinc response, we found DNA enhancer elements corresponding to the high zinc activation element consistently adjacent to E-boxes in the promoter regions of lysosome-genes. We defined a regulatory network based on the contribution of each transcription factor. Since zinc cannot be degraded, the autophagy-lysosomal pathway could play a key role in removing zinc excess

Neuronal MML-1/MXL-2 regulates autophagic and peroxidase activity via glutamate transporter to prolong lifespan

Project description:Accumulating evidence has demonstrated the presence of inter-tissue communication regulating systemic aging, but the underlying molecular network has not been fully explored. We and others previously showed that two basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors, MML-1 and HLH-30, are required for lifespan extension in several longevity paradigms, including germline-less Caenorhabditis elegans. However, it is unknown what tissues these factors target to promote longevity. Here, using tissue-specific knockdown experiments, we found that MML-1 and its heterodimer partners MXL-2 and HLH-30 act primarily in neurons to extend longevity in germline-less animals. Neuronal functions of MML-1/MXL-2 and HLH-30 are also essential to prevent aging in non-neuronal tissues, including muscle and the intestine. Interestingly, however, both the temporal requirement and the downstream function of MML-1 in neurons were distinct from those of HLH-30. MML-1 was active early, while HLH-30 functioned later in life to sustain longevity in germline-less animals. Moreover, neuronal RNA interference (RNAi)-based transcriptome analysis revealed that the glutamate transporter GLT-5 is a novel downstream target of MML-1 but not HLH-30. Furthermore, the MML-1–GTL-5 axis in neurons is critical to prevent an age-dependent collapse of proteostasis and increased oxidative stress through autophagy and peroxidase MLT-7, respectively, in long-lived animals. Collectively, our study revealed that systemic aging is regulated by a novel molecular network involving neuronal MML-1 function in both neural and peripheral tissues.

Substrate and oxygen dependent citric acid production by Yarrowia lipolytica: Insights through transcriptome and fluxome analysis

Project description:The goal of the study is to use Next generation sequencing (RNA-seq) and 13C based flux analysis to study the underlying regulation of citric acid metabolism in mixed culture fermentation (glucose and glycerl) of Yarrowia lipolytica. We sequenced the RNA from 4 different samples in the mixed culture (glucose and glycerol) under oxygen excess and limited conditions with 2 replicates each . Transcriptional profiles showed that under oxygen limited conditions, due to deficient mitochondrial activity, citric acid is being consumed back after glycerol exhaustion eventhough glucose is present in excess. Transcriptome and fluxome profiles showed that glucose is mainly directed towards the Pentose phosphate pathway in the dual substrate fermentations.

HLH-30/TFEB-mediated autophagy functions in a cell-autonomous manner for epithelium intrinsic cellular defense against bacterial pore-forming toxin in C. elegans

Project description:Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved intracellular system that maintains cellular homeostasis by degrading and recycling damaged cellular components. The transcription factor HLH-30/TFEB-mediated autophagy has been reported to regulate tolerance to bacterial infection, but less is known about the bona fide bacterial effector that activates HLH-30 and autophagy. Here, we unveil that bacterial membrane pore-forming toxin (PFT) induces autophagy through an HLH-30-dependent manner in Caenorhabditis elegans. Moreover, autophagy controls the susceptibility of animals to PFT toxicity through xenophagic degradation of PFT and repair of membrane-pore cell-autonomously in the PFT-targeted intestinal cells in C. elegans. These results demonstrate that autophagic pathways and autophagy are induced partly at the transcriptional level through HLH-30 activation and are required to protect metazoan upon PFT intoxication. Together, our data show a new and powerful connection between HLH-30-mediated autophagy and epithelium intrinsic cellular defense against the single most common mode of bacterial attack in vivo.

Glycerol-3-phosphate and Phosphoethanolamine homeostatic switch triggers senescence by rewiring lipid metabolism II

Project description:Cellular senescence impacts many physiological and pathological processes. A durable cell cycle arrest, inflammatory secretory phenotype, and metabolic reprogramming characterize it. Identifying common and specific metabolic liabilities in senescence provide novel inroads to exploit senescence targeting for health benefits. Here, we use dynamic transcriptome and metabolome profiling in different senescence subtypes to reveal common and specific metabolic signatures. Specifically, we pinpoint the homeostatic switch of glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P) and phosphoethanolamine (PEtn) accumulation, intimately linking lipid metabolism to the senescence gene expression program. Mechanistically, p53-dependent glycerol kinase (GK) activation and post-translational inactivation of Phosphate Cytidylyltransferase 2- Ethanolamine (PCYT2) regulate this metabolic switch, which is senogenic. Conversely, G3P phosphatase (G3PP) and Ethanolamine-Phosphate Phospho-Lyase (ETNPPL)-based scavenging of G3P and PEtn is senomorphic. Collectively, our study ties the G3P-PEtn homeostatic switch to controlling lipid droplet biogenesis and phospholipid flux in senescent cells, providing a potential, novel therapeutic avenue for senescence targeting in pathophysiology.
