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 manifests as progressive deterioration in cellular and systemic homeostasis, requiring systems-level perspectives to understand the gradual molecular dysregulation of underlying biological processes. Here, we collected data for the analysis of systems-level changes in the molecular regulation of biological processes under multiple lifespan-extending interventions in mice. High-resolution shotgun LC-MS/MS data were collected from liver samples obtained from multiple mouse cohorts treated with different lifespan-extending drugs, and analyzed using reverse phase liquid chromatography on Orbitrap mass spectrometers.

Project description:RNA sequencing of mouse hepatic response to lifespan-extending interventions
| PRJNA544682 | ENA
Project description:This dataset consists of hepatic gene expression profiles of mice subjected to 8 different lifespan-extending interventions, together with the corresponding age-, sex- and strain-matched littermate controls: caloric restriction (CR), methionine restriction (MR), growth hormone receptor knockout (GHRKO), Snell dwarf mice (Pit1 -/-), rapamycin, acarbose, 17-alpha-estradiol (17aE2) and Protandim. Both sexes and different age groups are presented within dataset. Using this data, we identified general and specific gene expression patterns associated with lifespan extension. We detected a feminization effect associated with growth hormone regulation and diminution of sex-related differences in response to many interventions at transcriptome and metabolome levels. Combining the dataset with publicly available resources, we found that many interventions exhibited similar transcriptome changes, whereas some, including rapamycin, showed distinct patterns. We identified common hepatic signatures of lifespan extension, e.g. upregulation of oxidative phosphorylation and NRF2-regulated enzymes, and found that many perturbed pathways are shared across tissues. Moreover, the response of genes related to glucose metabolism and immune function represented both qualitative and quantitative associations with longevity. Finally, we used the detected longevity signatures to identify new candidates for lifespan extension and built GENtervention, a tool that visualizes associations of gene expression responses with lifespan extension.

Project description:This dataset consists of hepatic gene expression profiles of mice subjected to 4 compounds predicted by Connectivity Map (CMap) using gene signatures identified for known lifespan-extending interventions: ascorbyl-palmitate, KU-0063794, AZD8055 and rilmenidine. Corresponding age-, sex- and strain-matched littermate controls are also presented. Using this data, we confirmed the association between longevity signatures and gene expression response to the predicted compounds in vivo, using the same mouse model as for the identification of gene signatures associated with lifespan extension. This pilot project demonstrated the applicability of such approach for the discovery of new interventions with a desirable effect on gene expression and provided appealing candidates for further longevity studies.

Project description:Activation of Sirt1, the mammalian homolog of an NAD+-dependent deacetylase known to modulate lifespan in lower organisms, is thought to hold promise as a strategy for delaying aging in mammals. SRT1720, a novel compound developed as a specific and potent activator of Sirt1, has shown promising effects to glucose homeostasis in short-term studies of rats and mice. Here we show SRT1720 extends both mean and maximum lifespan of mice fed a high-fat diet and has concrete benefits to health including reduced liver steatosis and increased insulin sensitivity and locomotor activity. Gene expression profiles and markers of inflammation and apoptosis were also restored to levels more reflective of standard diet controls. Furthermore, the benefits incurred by SRT1720 occurred in the absence of any observable toxicity. The current findings provide hope that safe and effective treatments may be developed to mitigate age-related diseases and enhance lifespan in humans.

Male C57BL/6J mice obtained at 12 weeks of age were maintained on a standard purified mouse diet (AIN-93G) until 56 weeks of age prior to the start of the experiment. Beginning at 56 weeks of age, the SD group was fed a standard AIN-93G diet for the duration of the study. Three separate groups were placed on a high-fat diet (HFD) (AIN-93G modified by the addition of hydrogenated coconut oil to provide 60% of calories from fat) or HFD + 30mg/kg body weight SRT1720 (HFD-L) or 100mg/kg body weight SRT1720 (HFD-H) and remained on those diets throughout the study. All mice were fed ad libitum. Food intake and body weight were measured biweekly for the duration of the study.

Project description:Transcriptional regulation plays an important role in the control of gene expression during aging. However, translation efficiency likely plays an equally important role in determining protein abundance, but has been relatively under studied in this context. Here we used RNA-seq and ribosome profiling to investigate the role of translational regulation in lifespan extension by CAN1 gene deletion in yeast. Through comparison of the transcriptional and translational changes in cells lacking CAN1 with other long-lived mutants, we were able to identify critical regulatory factors, including transcription factors and mRNA-binding proteins, that coordinate transcriptional and translational responses. Together, our data support a model in which deletion of CAN1 extends replicative lifespan through increased translation of proteins that facilitate cellular response to stress. This study extends our understanding of the importance of translational control in regulating stress resistance and longevity.

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.
