Project description:Environmental factors such as temperature can modulate animal’s lifespan. However, the underlying mechanisms remain largely undefined. Through proteomic analysis of C. elegans at different time points (young adult, middle age, and old age) and under two temperature conditions (20°C and 25°C), we found that temperature affects C. elegans lifespan largely by modulating the proteostasis. Surprisingly, although animals live shorter at the higher temperature, we found that worms cultured at 25°C for one day at early adulthood promotes the protein homeostasis by decreasing the synthesis and increasing the degradation, suggesting the beneficial effects. Consistent with the finding, animals shifting from 20°C to 25°C for 24 hours between the larval L4 to adult Day 3 stages indeed live longer and are more resistant to stresses. Furthermore, we found that the one-day thermal induced lifespan extension is mediated by the FOXO transcriptional factor DAF-16. These results reveal an unexpected and complicated mechanism underlying the temperature effects on aging, which could potentially aid to develop strategies for treating aging related diseases.

Project description:Primary bile acids are produced in the liver whereas secondary bile acids such as lithocholic acid (LCA) are generated by gut bacteria from primary bile acids that escape the ileal absorption. Besides their well-known function as detergents in lipid digestion, bile acids are important signaling molecules mediating effects on the host’s metabolism. As energy metabolism is closely linked to aging and longevity we supplemented fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) with 50 µmol/l LCA either for 30 days or throughout their lifetime. LCA supplementation resulted in a significant induction of the mean (+12 days), median (+10 days) and maximum lifespan (+ 11 days) in comparison to untreated control flies. This lifespan extension was accompanied by an induction of spargel (srl), the fly homolog of mammalian PPARG co-activator 1a(PGC1A. In srl mutant flies, LCA failed to induce longevity emphasizing the essential role of srl in the observed lifespan extension. In addition, the administration of antibiotics to wild type flies abrogated LCA-mediated effects on both lifespan and srl expression, suggesting a substantial contribution of the intestinal microbiota to the LCA-induced longevity. In the present study, we show that the secondary bile acid LCA significantly induced the mean, the median and the maximum survival in Drosophila melanogaster. Our data suggest that besides an up-regulation of the PGC1a-homolog srl unidentified alterations in the structure or metabolism of gut microbiota contribute to the longevity effect of LCA.

Project description:Aging leads to a gradual decline in physical activity and disrupted energy homeostasis. The NAD+-dependent SIRT6 deacylase regulates aging and metabolism through mechanisms that largely remain unknown. Here, we show that SIRT6 overexpression leads to a reduction in frailty and lifespan extension in both male and female B6 mice. A combination of physiological assays, in vivo multi-omics analyses and 13C lactate tracing identified an age-dependent decline in glucose homeostasis and hepatic gluconeogenesis (GNG) capacity in wild type mice. In contrast, aged SIRT6-transgenic mice preserve GNG capacity and glucose homeostasis through an improvement in the utilization of two major GNG precursors, lactate and glycerol. To mediate these changes, mechanistically, SIRT6 increases hepatic GNG gene expression, de novo NAD+ synthesis, and systemically enhances glycerol release from adipose tissue. These findings show that SIRT6 optimizes energy homeostasis in old age to delay frailty and preserve healthy aging.

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.

Project description:Yeast has proven to be a useful model system for aging studies, including CR effects. We report here that yeast adapted through in vitro evolution to the severe cellular stress caused by loss of the Ulp2 SUMO-specific protease exhibit both enhanced growth rates and replicative lifespan, and they have altered gene expression profiles similar to those observed in CR. Notably, in certain evolved ulp2Δ lines, a dramatic increase in the auto-sumoylation of Ubc9 E2 SUMO-conjugating enzyme results in altered regulation of multiple targets involved in energy metabolism and translation at both transcriptional and post-translational levels. This increase is essential for the survival of aged cells and CR-mediated lifespan extension

Project description:Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a traditionally known cytotoxic gas, has been recently included in the gasotransmitters family. Previous studies demonstrated that lifelong treatment with a slow H2S releasing donor extends yeast chronological lifespan (CLS), but it is not clear when the action of H2S benefits to CLS during yeast growth. Therefore, we investigated the effects of short H2S treatments at different time during yeast cell growth in the lifespan extension by using NaHS, a fast H2S-releasing donor. We show that short NaHS treatments at 4 days after inoculation extend yeast CLS while NaHS treatments earlier than 3 days after inoculation fail to do so. To reveal the mechanism of different consequences on yeast CLS of NaHS treatments at different times, we analyzed the transcriptome of Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain BY4742 with or without the early and late NaHS treatments. We found that the early and late NaHS treatments had similar effects on the expression of genes involved in pathways which are related to CLS regulation. Follow up qPCR and ROS analyses suggest that altered expression of some antioxidant genes by the early NaHS treatments were not stable enough to benefit CLS. Moreover, transcriptome data also indicated that some genes were regulated differently by the early and late H2S treatment such as genes involved in cell wall integrity. Specifically, we found that the expression of YPK2, a human SGK2 homolog and also a key regulator of the yeast cell wall synthesis, was significantly altered by the late NaHS treatment but not altered by the early NaHS treatment. Finally, the key role of YPK2 in CLS regulation by H2S is revealed by CLS data showing that the late NaHS treatment did not enhance the CLS of a ypk2 knockout mutant. This study sheds light on the molecular mechanism of CLS extension induced by H2S, and for the first time addresses the importance of H2S treatment timing for lifespan extension.

Project description:The causal relationships between insulin levels, insulin resistance, and longevity are not fully elucidated. Genetic down-regulation of insulin/insulin-like growth factor 1 (Igf1) signaling components can extend invertebrate and mammalian lifespan, but insulin resistance, a natural form of decreased insulin signaling, is associated with greater risk of age-related disease in mammals. We compared Ins2+/- mice to Ins2+/+ littermate controls, on a genetically stable Ins1-null background. Proteomic and transcriptomic analyses of livers from 25 week-old mice suggested potential for healthier aging and altered insulin sensitivity in Ins2+/- mice. Halving Ins2 lowered circulating insulin by 25-34% in aged female mice, without altering Igf1 or circulating Igf1. Remarkably, decreased insulin led to lower fasting glucose and improved insulin sensitivity in aged mice. Moreover, lowered insulin caused significant lifespan extension, observed across two diverse diets. Our study indicates that elevated insulin contributes to age-dependent insulin resistance, and that limiting basal insulin levels can extend lifespan.
