Project description:Leanness is associated with increased lifespan and is linked to favorable metabolic conditions promoting life extension. We show here that deficiency of the lipid synthesis enzyme acyl CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1), which reduces body fat in mice, promotes longevity. Female DGAT1-deficient mice were protected from age-related increases in body fat, non-adipose tissue triglycerides, and markers of inflammation in white adipose tissue. These metabolic changes were accompanied by an increased mean and maximal lifespan of ~25% and ~10%, respectively. The gene expression profile of DGAT1-deficient mice was not highly correlated with calorie restriction of sex and age matched wild-type littermates. Our findings indicate that loss of DGAT1-mediated lipid synthesis results in leanness, protects against age-related metabolic consequences, and thus extends longevity. Liver gene expression profiles between short-term calorie restricted wild-type (WTCR) and Dgat1 deficient (KO) middle-aged (15-16 mo) female mice were compared to determine if calorie restriction and Dgat1 deficiency rely on common regulatory pathways for the promotion of longevity. Both CR and KO were compared to middle-aged wild-type female littermates fed a standard chow diet ad libitum (WTAL).

Project description:Inhibition of Diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1) has been a mechanism of interest for metabolic disorders. DGAT1 inhibition has been shown to be a key regulator in an array of metabolic pathways; however, based on the DGAT1 KO mouse phenotype the anticipation is that pharmacological inhibition of DGAT1 could potentially lead to skin related adverse effects. One of the aims in developing small molecule DGAT1 inhibitors that target key metabolic tissues is to avoid activity on skin-localized DGAT1 enzyme. In this report we describe a modeling-based approach to identify molecules with physical properties leading to differential exposure distribution. In addition, we demonstrate histological and RNA based biomarker approaches that can detect sebaceous gland atrophy pre-clinically that could be used as potential biomarkers in a clinical setting.

Mice were treated with DGAT1 inhibitors for 14 days and dorsal skin biopsies (3-5 mm^2) were taken. RNA was profiled on custom Affymetrix microarrays. The primary goal was to identify robust and consistent biomarkers of DGAT1 inibition in skin.

Project description:Enhanced fatty acid (FA) synthesis and uptake underpin the sustained membrane biogenesis and ATP production required for melanoma cell growth and division1-4. However, to thrive, melanoma cells must avoid a potential reduction in cell growth signalling, rampant reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, and the build-up of toxic lipid species that can accompany excess free FA5. Here, we uncover and address the significance of frequent amplification and up-regulation of the Diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1) gene in melanoma, whose encoded product catalyses the final step of Triacyglyceride (TAG) synthesis. Consistent with the classification of DGAT1 as an oncogene, we found that forced DGAT1 expression in p53 mutant zebrafish melanocytes was sufficient to induce melanoma, and accelerated melanoma progression initiated by co-expression of oncogenic BRAF or NRAS. Regarding DGAT1 function in human melanoma cells, its depletion, or alternatively pharmacological inhibition, suppressed mTOR-S6K signalling and increased levels of acyl carnitine species— FA derivatives that are the limiting substrate for FA oxidation (FAO). In turn, increased FAO induced mitochondrial malfunction, ROS generation, and lipid peroxidation. However, the resultant oxidative stress induced NRF2 and SESTRIN2 (SESN2) expression, which limited the extent of cell death. Conversely, DGAT1 over-expression enhanced mTOR-S6K signalling and cell growth, and protected against ROS, particularly in hypoxic conditions. Together, our data establish DGAT1 as a bona fide oncogene essential in melanoma cells for enabling FA accumulation.

Project description:Global transcript profiling of Arabidopsis dgat1-1 seed at different stages of embryo development was used to identify differentially expressed genes in the mutant compared to wild-type (Col-0) seed. These genes provided information about the remodeling of lipid metabolism and TAG synthesis in response to the lack of DGAT1 activity.

Project description:Sir2 is the most intensively discussed longevity gene in current aging research. Although the gene encoding for a NAD+-dependent histone deacetylase initially was found to extend lifespan of various organisms ranging from yeast to mammals, serious doubts regarding its role in longevity have been expressed recently. In this study, we tested whether tissue-specific overexpression of Sir2 in the adult fat body can extend lifespan when compared to genetically identical controls. We also wanted to elucidate the mechanisms by which fat body Sir2 promotes longevity by studying the phenotypic and transcriptional changes in the fat body. We found that moderate (3-fold) Sir2 overexpression in the fat body during adulthood only can promote longevity in both sexes by roughly 13 %. In addition, we obtained transcriptional profiles elicited by this overexpression and propose a role for Sir2 in lipid droplet biology especially under conditions of starvation. Furthermore, our data do not support the idea of Sir2 mediating the response to dietary restriction (DR) because transcriptional profiles of fat bodies after DR or Sir2 overexpression do not match. This study provides additional independent evidence for the concept of Sir2 as a longevity gene and as a promising pharmacological target to cure age-related diseases. 6 groups of sample types were included in the experiment: a) females overexpressing Sir2 in the fat body b) female controls c) males overexpressing Sir2 in the fat body d) male controls e) wildtype females subjected to DR f) wildtype females feeding on a normal diet. 3 biological replicates were included per group.

Project description:Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) represents a lethal disease and classically resistant to cytotoxic chemotherapy, highlighting the importance of identifying new therapeutic vulnerabilities. We performed a functional siRNA screening for all 2-oxoglutarate (2-OG)-dependent enzymes in ccRCC using 3-D soft agar colony formation assay, and combined with TCGA data, we identified Jumonji domain-containing 6 (JMJD6) as an essential gene for ccRCC tumorigenesis. Downregulation of JMJD6 abolished ccRCC colony formation in vitro and inhibited orthotopic tumor growth in vivo. Integrated analyses of ChIP-seq and RNA-seq identified that JMJD6 can transcriptionally regulate the expression of diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1) by co-occupying the target gene promoter with H3K4me3. Downregulation of JMJD6 caused decreased expression of DGAT1 at both mRNA and protein level. Inhibition or depletion of DGAT1 induced decreased cell growth in vitro or inhibited tumor growth in vivo. Mechanistically, decreased DGAT1 caused decreased LD formation in ccRCC, while restoration of JMJD6 expression can restore DGAT1 level, and LD formation as well as cell growth. In summary, JMJD6 is essential for ccRCC lipid storage and tumorigenesis through a DGAT1-dependent signaling. Therefore, the JMJD6-DGAT1 axis serves as a potential therapeutic avenue for ccRCC.

Project description:Deregulated energy homeostasis represents a hallmark of aging and results from complex gene-by-environment interactions. Here, we discovered that reducing the expression of the gene ech-6 encoding enoyl-CoA hydratase remitted fat diet-induced deleterious effects on lifespan in Caenorhabditis elegans, while a basal expression of ech-6 was important to survival under normal dietary conditions. Lipidomics revealed that supplementation of fat in ech-6-silenced worms had marginal effects on lipid profiles, suggesting an alternative fat utilization for energy production. Transcriptomics further suggest a causal relation between the lysosomal pathway, energy production, and the longevity effect conferred by the interaction between ech-6 and high-fat diets. Indeed, enhancing energy production from endogenous fat by overexpressing lysosomal lipase lipl-4 recapitulated the lifespan effects of high-fat diets on ech-6-silenced worms. Collectively, these results reveal that the gene ech-6 modulates metabolic flexibility and may be a target for promoting metabolic health and longevity.

Project description:The nutrient-sensing Target of Rapamycin complex 1 (TORC1) is an evolutionarily conserved regulator of longevity. S6 kinase (S6K) is an essential downstream mediator for the effect of TORC1 on longevity. However, mechanistic insights on how TORC1-S6K signalling promotes lifespan and healthspan are still limited. Here we show that activity of S6K in the Drosophila fat body is essential for rapamycin-mediated longevity. Fat-body-specific activation of S6K blocked lifespan extension upon rapamycin feeding and induced accumulation of multilamellar lysosomal enlargements. Besides, fat body-specific S6K knockdown extended lifespan in files. We performed proteomics for Drosophila fat body to explore the fat body-specific regulation of protein expression by two separate datasets: fat body-specific S6K activation (Lsp2GS>S6KCA) with rapamycin treatment; and fat body-specific S6K inhibition (Lsp2GS>S6KRNAi). To assess if the age-prolonging mechanisms of TORC1-S6K signalling are conserved between flies and mammals, we assessed the impact of rapamycin treatment in the proteome of liver from C3B6F1 mice (F1 hybrids of C3H/HeOuJ females and C57Bl/6N males).
