Project description:Dietary restriction regulates microRNAs in longevity regulons

Project description:Ageing is driven by a loss of transcriptional and protein homeostasis and is the key risk factor for multiple chronic diseases. Interventions that attenuate or reverse systemic dysfunction associated with age therefore have the potential to reduce overall disease risk in the elderly. Precursor mRNA (pre-mRNA) splicing is a fundamental link between gene expression and the proteome, and deregulation of the splicing machinery is linked to several age-related chronic illnesses. However, the role of splicing homeostasis in healthy ageing remains unclear. Here we demonstrate that pre-mRNA splicing homeostasis is a biomarker and predictor of life expectancy in Caenorhabditis elegans. Using transcriptomics and in-depth splicing analysis in young and old animals fed ad libitum or subjected to dietary restriction, we find defects in global pre-mRNA splicing with age that are reduced by dietary restriction via splicing factor 1 (SFA-1; the C. elegans homologue of SF1, also known as branchpoint binding protein, BBP). We show that SFA-1 is specifically required for lifespan extension by dietary restriction and by modulation of the TORC1 pathway components AMPK, RAGA-1 and RSKS-1/S6 kinase. We also demonstrate that overexpression of SFA-1 is sufficient to extend lifespan. Together, these data demonstrate a role for RNA splicing homeostasis in dietary restriction longevity and suggest that modulation of specific spliceosome components may prolong healthy ageing.

Project description:Aging is a complex process involving multiple pathways, each of which takes place and dominates at various stages of aging. It is largely unclear how these pathways coordinate with each other and take turns to function. Here we focus on microRNAs (miRNAs), for their multi-targeting, fine-tuning nature, and thus a potential to act as systems–level anti-aging regulator. We used C. elegans treated with dietary restriction as an anti-aging model to reveal how miRNAs link the regulatory modules of different stages to convert starvation signal into longevity benefits. miRNAs show a delayed response pattern upon DR, repress early response genes and fine-tune late response genes.

Project description:Dietary restriction (DR) is the most effective and reproducible intervention to extend lifespan in divergent species1. In mammals, two regimens of DR, intermittent fasting (IF) and caloric restriction (CR), have proven to extend lifespan and reduce the incidence of age-related disorders2. An important characteristic of IF is that it can increase lifespan, even when there is little or no overall decrease in calorie intake2. The molecular mechanisms underlying IF-induced longevity, however, remain largely unknown. Here we establish an IF regimen that effectively extends the lifespan of Caenorhabditis elegans, and show that a nutrient-related signalling molecule, the low molecular weight GTPase Cel-Rheb, has a dual role in lifespan regulation; Cel-Rheb is required for the IF-induced longevity, whereas inhibition of Cel-Rheb mimics the CR effects. We also show that Cel-Rheb exerts its effects in part via the insulin/IGF-like signalling effector DAF-16 in IF, and that Cel-Rheb is required for fasting-induced nuclear translocation of DAF-16. We find that HSP-12.6, a DAF-16 target, functions to mediate the IF-induced longevity. Furthermore, our analyses demonstrate that most of fasting-induced upregulated genes require Cel-Rheb function for their induction, and that Cel-Rheb/Cel-TOR signalling is required for the fasting-induced downregulation of an insulin-like peptide, INS-7. These findings identify the essential role of signalling via Cel-Rheb in IF-induced longevity and gene expression changes, and suggest a molecular link between the IF-induced longevity and the insulin/IGF-like signalling pathway.

Project description:Caloric restriction (CR) is the only non-genetic intervention to retard aging and increase longevity in a variety of species. It is important to understand the fundamental mechanism by which CR extends lifespan that remains elusive. Owing to well-established genomic tools and convenience of culture system, we used a single cell organism, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, to clarify the mechanisms of CR. In order to identify genes responsible for CR-mediated longevity, we performed microarray experiments across the longevity assurance time-points. Since the CR-treated cells obtained the longevity potential around 12 hours after inoculation and the strength of potential gradually increased up to 48 hours, we concluded that the changes across these time-points must be a critical need for assurance of longevity by CR. For preparation of total RNA, yeast cells under control (2% glucose) and CR (0.5% glucose) conditions were harvested at 12h, 18h, 24h and 48h after inoculation. After total RNA extraction, we performed Affymetrix Yeast GeneChip 2.0 array for biological triplicate repeats according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Experiment Overall Design: We examined fasting-induced changes of the gene expression profiles in Caenorhabditis elegans. We performed the genome-wide analysis by using Affymetrix GeneChip oligonucleotide microarrays, and examined the effect of downregulation of Cel-Rheb and Cel-TOR by RNAi on the expression profiles. Five independent experiments were performed with wild type N2. Synchronized worms under six conditions (control-fed, control-fasting, Rheb RNAi-fed, Rheb RNAi-fasting, TOR RNAi-fed, and TOR RNAi-fasting) were collected and frozen with liquid nitrogen at day 4 of adulthood. Total RNA was extracted with Sepasol(R)-RNA â Super (Nacalai tesque), and purified with RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen), according to manufactureâs instructions. Synthesis of cDNA, in vitro transcription and biotin labelling cRNA, and hybridization to the C. elegans Genome Array (Affymetrix) were performed according to Affymetrix protocols. Hybridized arrays were scanned using an Affymetrix GeneChip Scanner. Scanned chip images were analyzed with GeneSpring GX 7.3.1 (Agilent Technologies).

Project description:Geroscience aims to target the aging process to extend healthspan. However, even isogenic individuals show heterogeneity in natural aging rate and responsiveness to pro-longevity interventions, limiting translational potential. Using in vivo mini gene reporters in isogenic C. elegans, we show that alternative splicing of mRNAs related to lipid metabolism in young animals is coupled to subsequent life expectancy. Further, activity of RNA splicing factors REPO-1 and SFA-1 early in life modulates effectiveness of specific longevity interventions via POD-2/ACC1 and regulation of lipid utilization. In addition, early inhibition of REPO-1 renders animals refractory to late onset suppression of the TORC1 pathway. Together these data suggest that activity of RNA splicing factors and the metabolic landscape early in life can modulate responsiveness to longevity interventions and may explain variance in efficacy between individuals.
