Project description:Analysis of gene expression in two long-lived daf-2 mutant (mutation in the insulin/IGF-1 receptor) and eat-2 mutant (caloric restriction model), comparison of gene expression profiles of two long-lived mutants provide novel insight into longevity Impaired insulin/IGF-1 signaling (IIS) pathway and caloric restriction (CR) are two well-established interventions to prolong lifespan in worm C. elegans. Although many studies using “-omics” approaches have gained informative knowledges on key longevity regulators in either IIS or CR models, few of those investigated the shared regulators between these two longevity interventions and integrated the messages from different –omics studies. In this study, we aimed to identify key pathways and metabolite fingerprints of longevity shared between the two interventions in worms using a multi-omics integration approach. We collected transcriptomics and metabolomics data from two long-lived mutant worm strains, i.e. daf-2 (impaired IIS pathway) and eat-2 (CR model) and compared with N2 strain. We detected many key pathways that were upregulated at the gene expression level in both long-lived mutants, such as defense response and lipid storage, while synthesis of macromolecules and developmental processes were downregulated at the transcript level. From our polar metabolite analysis, we discovered several shared metabolic features between the two long-lived mutants, including glycerol-3P, adenine, xanthine and AMP. In addition, we detected a lowered amino acid pool and two fatty acid species, C18:0 and C17:1, that behaved similarly in both long-lived mutants. After we integrated transcriptomics and metabolomics data based on the annotations in KEGG, our results highlighted a downregulation of pyrimidine metabolism and upregulation of purine metabolism in both long-lived mutants compared to N2 worms. Overall, our findings point towards the existence of shared metabolic pathways that are important for lifespan extension and provide novel insight of potential regulators and metabolic fingerprints for longevity.

Project description:Long-lived genetic mutants from different pathways of lifespan extension were used to determine the extent to which there are common downstream mediators of longevity. We have previously obtained RNA-sequencing data from other long-lived mutants including sod-2, clk-1, isp-1, nuo-6 and daf-2. Gene expression will be compared between these nine long-lived mutants.

Project description:Mild deficits in mitochondrial function have been shown to increase lifespan in multiple species including worms, flies and mice. Here, we study three C. elegans mitochondrial mutants (clk-1, isp-1 and nuo-6) to identify overlapping genetic pathways that contribute to their longevity. We find that genes regulated by the FOXO transcription factor DAF-16 are upregulated in all three strains, and that the transcriptional changes present in these worms overlap significantly with the long-lived insulin-IGF1 signaling pathway mutant daf-2. We show that DAF-16 and multiple DAF-16 interacting proteins (MATH-33, IMB-2, CST-1/2, BAR-1) are required for the longevity of all three mitochondrial mutants. Our results suggest that the activation of DAF-16 in these mutants results from elevated levels of reactive oxygen species. Overall, this work reveals an overlapping genetic pathway required for longevity in three mitochondrial mutants, and, combined with previous work, demonstrates that DAF-16 is a downstream mediator of lifespan extension in multiple pathways of longevity.

Project description:The germ lineage is considered to be immortal. In the quest to extend lifespan, a possible strategy is to drive germline traits in somatic cells, to try to confer some of the germ lineage’s immortality on the somatic body. Notably, a study in C. elegans suggested that expression of germline genes in the somatic cells of long-lived daf-2 mutants confers some of daf-2’s longevity. Specifically, mRNAs encoding components of C. elegans germ granules (P granules) were up-regulated in daf-2 mutant worms, and knock-down of individual P-granule and other germline genes in daf-2 young adults modestly reduced their lifespan. We investigated the contribution of a germline program to daf-2’s long lifespan, and also tested if other mutants known to express germline genes in their somatic cells are long-lived. Our key findings are: 1) We could not detect P-granule proteins in the somatic cells of daf-2 mutants by immunostaining or by expression of a P-granule transgene. 2) Whole-genome transcript profiling of animals lacking a germline revealed that germline transcripts are not up-regulated in the soma of daf-2 worms compared to the soma of control worms. 3) Simultaneous removal of multiple P-granule proteins or the entire germline program from daf-2 worms did not reduce their lifespan. 4) Several mutants that robustly express a broad spectrum of germline genes in their somatic cells are not long-lived. Taken together, our findings argue against the hypothesis that acquisition of a germ cell program in somatic cells increases lifespan and contributes to daf-2’s longevity.

Project description:FoxO transcription factors promote longevity across taxa. How they do so is poorly understood. In the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, the A- and F-isoforms of the FoxO transcription factor DAF-16 extend life span in the context of reduced DAF-2 insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGFR) signaling. To elucidate the mechanistic basis for DAF-16/FoxO-dependent life span extension, we performed an integrative analysis of isoform-specific daf-16/FoxO mutants. In contrast to previous studies suggesting that DAF-16F plays a more prominent role in life span control than DAF-16A, isoform-specific daf-16/FoxO mutant phenotypes and whole transcriptome profiling revealed a predominant role for DAF-16A over DAF-16F in life span control, stress resistance, and target gene regulation. Integration of these data sets enabled the prioritization of a subset of 92 DAF-16/FoxO target genes for functional interrogation. Among 29 genes tested, two DAF-16A-specific target genes significantly influenced longevity. Our discovery of new longevity genes underscores the efficacy of our integrative strategy while providing a general framework for identifying specific downstream gene regulatory events that contribute substantially to transcription factor functions. As FoxO transcription factors have conserved functions in promoting longevity and may be dysregulated in aging-related diseases, these findings promise to illuminate fundamental principles underlying aging in animals. Whole-transcriptome profiling of daf-16/FoxO isoform-specific deletion mutants in the long-lived daf-2(e1370) background. Included are daf-16 wild-type, daf-16 null mutation, daf-16a/f mutation, two independent daf-16a mutations, and daf-16f mutation. N2 wild-type controls are also included.
