Project description:Dietary composition can significantly influence health and lifespan, however, robust knowledge on which food components, at what concentration exert which long-term health effects is still incomplete. Here, we explored the effects of dietary protein intake on Ercc1Δ/- DNA-repair-deficient mice, which are an excellent model for accelerated ageing and are hyperresponsive to the anti-ageing effect of dietary restriction. Restricting dietary protein by 50% extended lifespan in male mice, but not in females. Restricting protein levels beyond 80% improved various neurological health parameters, while a further reduction to 95% affected appetite and became distinctly detrimental. Conversely, a near doubling of protein intake and isocaloric compensatory lowering with carbohydrates significantly shortened lifespan in both sexes. Gene expression analysis of liver from mice on a high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet to those on high-carbohydrate, low-protein revealed increased expression of oxidative phosphorylation, enrichment of processes associated with tissue injury, inflammation, and gene-length-dependent transcriptional decline (GLTD), recently shown to be indicative of DNA damage accumulation causing transcription stress, and cellular ageing. Finally, GLTD was also identified by reanalysis of publicly available data of wild-type mice, rats and humans on high-protein diets, suggesting that increased dietary protein enhances GLTD and accelerates systemic ageing. Together, our findings have implications for nutritional guidelines for progeroid DNA-repair-deficient human syndromes, caution against excessive protein intake in the context of sustaining health, and suggest GLTD as a sensitive read-out of overall health and a predictor of biological ageing.

Project description:Genomes pervasively produce long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) of largely unknown functions. Some of these lncRNAs have been implicated in roles related to ageing and associated diseases. Here we characterize aal1 (ageing-associated lncRNA 1) which is induced in non-dividing, ageing cells of fission yeast. Deletion of aal1 shortens the chronological lifespan of non-dividing cells, while ectopic overexpression of aal1 from a plasmid prolongs their lifespan, indicating that this lncRNA acts in trans. We find that aal1 genetically interacts with coding genes functioning in processes related to protein translation, and aal1 overexpression leads to repression of ribosomal protein genes and inhibition of cell growth. The aal1 RNA localizes to the cytoplasm and associates with ribosomes. Notably, aal1 deletion or overexpression is sufficient to increase or decrease the cellular ribosome content, respectively. We identify the mRNA rpl1901, encoding a ribosomal protein, as a binding target of aal1. The expression of rpl1901 is moderately repressed by aal1, and such moderate repression is critical and sufficient to extend the chronological lifespan. Remarkably, expression of the yeast aal1 lncRNA in the fly gut triggers a significant extension of the lifespan in flies. Based on these findings, we propose that the aal1 RNA can reduce the ribosome content by decreasing the levels of the Rpl1901 ribosomal protein, thus attenuating protein translation and promoting longevity. Although the aal1 lncRNA itself is not conserved, its effects in the fly raise the possibility that other organisms feature related mechanisms involving conserved ribosome-associated processes to control ageing.

Project description:Nucleolar stress (NS) kills cells by p53-dependent and independent manners. To investigate the mechanisms of p53-indendendent toxicity, we here used (PR)n arginine-rich peptides as inducers of NS, which are found in patients of some neurodegenerative diseases. Although these peptides generate NS, how this translates to toxicity is poorly understood. We here reveal that whereas (PR)n expression leads to an overall decrease in protein abundance for the majority of the proteome, this occurs concomitant to an accumulation of free ribosomal proteins in the cytoplasm, which is a hallmark of ribosomopathies. Conversely, cells with acquired resistance to (PR)n peptides present a global downregulation of ribosomal proteins and low levels of mTOR signaling. In mice, systemic expression of (PR)97 drives widespread NS and accelerated ageing, associated to an increased expression of ribosomal proteins and mTOR hyperactivation. Furthermore, the progeroid phenotype of (PR)97-expressing mice is alleviated by rapamycin. Importantly, we show that the generalized accumulation of free ribosomal proteins is not restricted to (PR)n peptides, but is a common outcome in response to chemical or genetic perturbations that generate NS such as Actinomycin D, TIF-IA depletion or the expression or mutant HMGB1 forms recently associated to rare human diseases. Together, our study provides in vivo evidence for the role of NS as a driver of ageing in mammals, and describes a general model to understand the mechanisms behind p53-independent cell toxicity caused by NS.

Project description:In animals, dietary restriction or suppression of genes involved in nutrient sensing tends to increase lifespan. In contrast, food restriction in honeybees (Apismellifera) shortens lifespan by accelerating a behavioural maturation program that culminates in leaving the nest as a forager. Foraging is metabolically demanding and risky, and foragers experience increased rates of aging and mortality. Food-deprived worker bees forage at younger ages and are expected to live shorter lives. We tested whether suppression of a molecular nutrient sensing pathway is sufficient to accelerate the behavioural transition to foraging and shorten worker life. To achieve this, we reduced expression of the insulin receptor substrate (irs) gene via RNA interference in two selected lines of honeybees used to control for behavioural and genetic variation. irs encodes a membrane-associated protein in the insulin/insulin-like signalling (IIS) pathway that is central to nutrient sensing in animals. We measured foraging onset and lifespan and found that suppression of irs reduced worker bee lifespan in both genotypes, and that this effect was largely driven by an earlier onset of foraging behaviour in a genotype-conditional manner. Our results provide the first direct evidence that an IIS pathway gene influences behavioural maturation and lifespan in honeybees and highlight the importance of considering social environments and behaviours when investigating the regulation of aging and lifespan in social animals.

Project description:DNA repair-deficient Ercc1Δ/- mice show premature cell death, senescence and numerous accelerated aging features limiting lifespan to 4-6 month. Simultaneously they exhibit a ‘survival response’, which suppresses growth and enhances maintenance, resembling the anti-aging response induced by dietary restriction (DR). Here we report that subjecting these progeroid, dwarf mutants to actual dietary restriction (DR) resulted in the largest lifespan increase recorded in mammals. Thirty percent DR tripled median and maximal remaining lifespan, and drastically retarded numerous aspects of accelerated aging, e.g. DR animals retained 50% more neurons and maintained full motoric function. The DR response in Ercc1Δ/- mice resembled DR in wild type animals including reduced insulin signaling. Interestingly, ad libitum Ercc1Δ/- liver expression profiles showed preferential extinction of expression of long genes, consistent with genome-wide accumulation of stochastic, transcription-blocking lesions, which affect long genes more than short ones. DR largely prevented this decline of transcriptional output, indicating that DR prolongs genome function. Our findings strengthen the link between DNA damage and aging, establish Ercc1Δ/- mice as powerful model for identifying interventions to promote healthy aging, reveal untapped potential for reducing endogenous damage, provide new venues for understanding the molecular mechanism of DR, and suggest a counterintuitive DR-like therapy for human progeroid genome instability syndromes and DR-like interventions for preventing neurodegenerative diseases.
