Extension of lifespan in C. elegans by naphthoquinones that act through stress hormesis mechanisms

ABSTRACT: Hormesis occurs when a low level stress elicits adaptive beneficial responses that protect against subsequent exposure to severe stress. Recent findings suggest that mild oxidative and thermal stress can extend lifespan by hormetic mechanisms. Here we show that the botanical pesticide plumbagin, while toxic to C. elegans nematodes at high doses, extends lifespan at low doses. Because plumbagin is a naphthoquinone that generates free radicals in vivo, we investigated whether it extends lifespan by activating an adaptive cellular stress response pathway. Mammalian NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and its C. elegans ortholog SKN-1, mediate protective responses to oxidative stress by promoting target gene expression via antioxidant response elements (ARE). Genetic analyses showed that skn-1 mediates plumbagin’s lifespan-extending effect in C. elegans. Further screening of a series of plumbagin analogs identified three additional naphthoquinones that could induce SKN-1 targets in C. elegans. Naphthazarin showed skn-1-dependent lifespan extension, over an extended dose range compared to plumbagin, while the other naphthoquinones, oxoline and menadione, had differing effects on C. elegans survival and failed to activate ARE reporter expression in cultured mammalian cells. Our findings reveal the potential for low doses of naturally occurring naphthoquinones to extend lifespan by engaging a specific adaptive cellular stress response pathway.

Characterization of the genes that were regulated by feeding with CBM 588

Project description:In the present study, we investigated the effect of CBM 588 on lifespan and multiple-stress resistance using Caenorhabditis elegans as a model animal. When adult C. elegans were fed a standard diet of Escherichia coli OP50 or CBM 588, the lifespan of the animals fed CBM 588 was significantly longer than that of animals fed OP50. Moreover, the worms fed CBM 588 were more resistant to certain stressors, including infections with pathogenic bacteria, UV irradiation, and the metal stressor Cu2+. CBM 588 failed to extend the lifespan of the daf-2/IR, daf-16/FOXO and skn-1/Nrf2 mutants. Transcriptional profiling comparing CBM 588-fed and control-fed animals suggested that DAF-16-dependent class II genes were regulated by CBM 588. In conclusion, CBM 588 extends the lifespan of C. elegans probably through regulation of the insulin/IGF-1 signaling (IIS) pathway and the Nrf2 transcription factor, and CBM 588 improves resistance to several stressors in C. elegans.

RNA-seq of C.elegans and M.musculus in the presence and absence of D-Glucosamine (GlcN)

Project description:D-Glucosamine (2-amino-2-deoxy-D-glucose, C.A.S.# 3416-24-8) (GlcN) is a freely available and commonly used dietary supplement possibly promoting cartilage health in humans which also acts as an inhibitor of glycolysis. We here find that GlcN extends C. elegans lifespan by impairing glucose metabolism to activate AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK/AAK2) leading to increased mitochondrial biogenesis. Consistent with the concept of mitohormesis, this promotes increased formation of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) and p38/PMK-1-mediated stress signaling culminating in increased expression of the nematodal amino acid-transporter 1 (aat-1) gene. Ameliorating mitochondrial ROS formation as well as impairment of aat-1-expression abolishes GlcN-mediated lifespan extension in a NRF2/SKN-1-dependent fashion. Notably and unlike other calorie restriction mimetics (CRM) like 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2DG, DOG), GlcN extends lifespan of aging C57BL/6 mice (log-rank: p=0.002; cox regression: p=0.01) similarly paralleled by an induction of mitochondrial biogenesis, increased expression of several murine amino acid transporters, as well as increased amino-acid catabolism. Taken together, GlcN mimics a ketogenic diet to extend healthspan in evolutionary distinct species. 24 samples: 12 mRNA profiles of C.elegans: 6 without GlcN and 6 with GlcN supplementaion; 12 mRNA profiles of M.musculus: 6 without GlcN and 6 with GlcN supplementaion

RNA-seq analysis of germline stem cell removal and loss of SKN-1 in C. elegans

Project description:In C. elegans, ablation of germline stem cells (GSCs) extends lifespan, but also increases fat accumulation and alters lipid metabolism, raising the intriguing question of how these effects might be related. Here we show that a lack of GSCs results in a broad transcriptional reprogramming, in which the conserved detoxification regulator SKN-1/Nrf increases stress resistance, proteasome activity, and longevity. SKN-1 also activates diverse lipid metabolism genes and reduces fat storage, thereby alleviating the increased fat accumulation caused by GSC absence. Surprisingly, SKN-1 is activated by signals from this fat, which appears to derive from unconsumed yolk that was produced for reproduction. We conclude that SKN-1 plays a direct role in maintaining lipid homeostasis, in which it is activated by lipids. This SKN-1 function may explain the importance of mammalian Nrf proteins in fatty liver disease, and suggests that particular endogenous or dietary lipids might promote health through SKN-1/Nrf.

Crotamiton derivative JM03 extends lifespan and improves 1 oxidative and hypertonic stress resistance in Caenorhabditis 2 elegans via inhibiting OSM-9

Project description:While screening our in-house 1,072 marketed drugs for their ability to extend the lifespan using Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) as an animal model, crotamiton (N-ethyl-o-crotonotoluidide) showed anti-aging activity and was selected for further structural optimization. After replacing the ortho-methyl of crotamiton with ortho-fluoro, crotamiton derivative JM03 was obtained and showed better activity in terms of lifespan-extension and stress resistance than crotamiton. It was further explored that JM03 extended the lifespan of C. elegans through osmotic avoidance abnormal-9 (OSM-9). Besides, JM03 improves the ability of nematode to resist oxidative stress and hypertonic stress through OSM-9, but not osm-9/capsaicin receptor related-2 (OCR-2). Then the inhibition of OSM-9 by JM03 reduces the aggregation of Q35 in C. elegans via upregulating the genes associated with proteostasis. SKN-1 signaling was also found to be activated after JM03 treatment, which might contribute to proteostasis, stress resistance and lifespan extension. In summary, this study explored a new small molecule derived from crotamiton, which has efficient anti-oxidative, anti-hypertonic and anti-aging effects, and could further lead to promising application prospects.

C elegans Proteomics

Project description:Reactive Oxygen Species increase gradually with aging and Steadily diminish the cell's ability to maintain homeostasis. Nuclear Factor-like 2 and its C elegans ortholog, SKN-1 are transcription factors that play a pivotal role in oxidative stress response, cellular homeostasis and lifespan. But like other defence systems, Nrf2-mediated stress response is compromised in aging and neurodegenerative diseases. In this study we provide evidence that this FDA-approved drug is a bona fide activator of Nrf2/SKN-1 pathway.

Anti-aging effects of Vicatia thibetica de Boiss root extract on Caenorhabditis elegans and doxorubicin-induced mice via promoting collagen and stress resistance

Project description:The root of Vicatia thibetica de Boiss is a Chinese herb medicine with homology of medicine and food. We first report that HLB01 (the extract of Vicatia thibetica de Boiss root) extends lifespan and promotes healthy parameters in Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans). In doxorubicin-induced senescent mice, HLB01 counteracts senescence associated biomarkers significantly, including AST, ALT, p21 and γH2AX. Interestingly, HLB01 promotes the level of collagen in C. elegans and mammalian cell systemically, which might be one of the essential factors to exert anti-aging effects of HLB01. In addition, HLB01 can scavenge free radical to perform antioxidant ability. Lifespan extension of HLB01 also dependent on DAF-16 and HSF-1 to perform oxidative stress resistance and heat stress resistance. Taken together, these data indicate that HLB01 extends lifespan and healthspan of C. elegans, resists doxorubicin‐induced senescence in mice via collagen promoting, antioxidant and stress resistance.

Neuronal mTORC1 inhibition promotes longevity without suppressing anabolic growth and reproduction in C. elegans

Project description:mTORC1 (mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1) is a metabolic sensor that promotes growth when nutrients are abundant. Ubiquitous inhibition of mTORC1 extends lifespan in multiple organisms but also disrupts several anabolic processes resulting in stunted growth, slowed development, reduced fertility, and disrupted metabolism. However, it is unclear if these pleotropic effects of mTORC1 inhibition can be uncoupled from longevity. Here, we utilize the auxin-inducible degradation (AID) system to restrict mTORC1 inhibition to C. elegans neurons. We find that neuron-specific degradation of RAGA-1, an upstream activator of mTORC1, or LET-363, the ortholog of mammalian mTOR, is sufficient to extend lifespan in C. elegans. Unlike raga-1 loss of function genetic mutations or somatic AID of RAGA-1, neuronal AID of RAGA-1 robustly extends lifespan without impairing body size, developmental rate, brood size or neuronal function. Moreover, while somatic degradation of RAGA-1 alters the expression of thousands of genes, demonstrating the widespread effects of mTORC1 inhibition, neuronal degradation of RAGA-1 only results in around 200 differentially expressed genes with a specific enrichment in metabolism and stress response. Notably, our work demonstrates that targeting mTORC1 specifically in the nervous system in C. elegans uncouples longevity from growth and reproductive impairments, and that many canonical effects of low mTORC1 activity are not required to promote healthy aging. These data challenge previously held ideas about the mechanisms of mTORC1 lifespan extension and underscore the potential of promoting longevity by neuron-specific mTORC1 modulation.

wt vs daf-2 C. elegans protein turnover

Project description:Most aging hypotheses revolve around the accumulation of some sort of damage resulting in gradual physiological decline and ultimately death. Avoiding protein damage accumulation by enhanced turnover should slow down the aging process and extend lifespan. However, lowering translational efficiency extends rather than shortens lifespan in C. elegans. We studied turnover of individual proteins in the conserved Insulin/Insulin-like Growth Factor (IGF-1) receptor mutant daf-2 by combining Stable Isotope Labeling by Nitrogen-15 in Caenorhabditis elegans and LC-MS/MS. Intriguingly, the majority of proteins displayed prolonged half-lives in daf-2, while others remained unchanged, signifying that longevity is not supported by high protein turnover. This slow-down of protein turnover was most prominent for components of the translation machinery and mitochondria. In contrast, the high turnover of lysosomal hydrolases and very low turnover of cytoskeletal proteins remained largely unchanged in daf-2. The slow-down of protein dynamics and decreased abundance of the translational machinery may point at the importance of anabolic attenuation in lifespan extension as suggested by the hyperfunction theory.
