Glucose Shortens the Lifespan of Caenorhabditis elegans by Down-Regulating Aquaporin Gene Expression

ABSTRACT: Many studies have addressed the effect of dietary glycemic index on obesity and diabetes, but little is known about its effect on lifespan itself. We found that adding a small amount of glucose to the medium (0.1-2%) shortened the lifespan of C. elegans. Glucose shortened lifespan by inhibiting the activities of lifespan-extending transcription factors that are also inhibited by insulin signaling: the FOXO family member DAF-16 and the heat shock factor HSF-1. This effect involved the down-regulation of an aquaporin glycerol channel, aqp-1. We show that changes in glycerol metabolism are likely to underlie the lifespan-shortening effect of glucose, and that aqp-1 may act cell non-autonomously as a feedback regulator in the insulin/IGF-1 signaling pathway. Insulin down-regulates similar glycerol channels in mammals, suggesting that this glucose-responsive pathway might be conserved evolutionarily. Together these findings raise the possibility that a low-sugar diet might have beneficial effects on lifespan in higher organisms. Refer to individual Series. This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE18561: Adult C. elegans: Control daf-2 mutants treated with daf-16 RNAi vs. daf-2 mutants treated with empty vector RNAi GSE18562: Adult C. elegans: Control OP50 culture vs. OP50 + 2% glucose culture

The Insulin/IGF Signaling Cascade Modulates SUMOylation to Regulate Aging and Proteostasis in C. elegans.

Project description:In this project we asked how reducing the activity of the insulin/IGF signaling (IIS) cascade by knocking down the expression of daf-2, affects global protein SUMOylation of C. elegans. We found that among other proteins, IIS reduction lowers the SUMOylation of CAR-1, a protein that negatively regulates the activity of the worm’s notch receptor, GLP-1. Thus, the knockdown of car-1 hyper-activates GLP-1, shortens lifespan and exposes the worm to toxic protein aggregation (proteotoxicity). In contrast, the expression of a SUMOylation resistant CAR-1 (K185R) promotes longevity and protects model nematodes from proteotoxicity.

Deep sequencing of small RNAs from C. elegans during aging

Project description:Aging is under genetic control in C. elegans but the mechanisms of lifespan regulation are not completely known. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate various aspects of development and metabolism and one miRNA has been previously implicated in lifespan. Here we show that multiple miRNAs change expression in C. elegans aging, including novel miRNAs, and that mutations in several of the most up-regulated miRNAs lead to lifespan defects. Some act to promote normal lifespan and stress resistance while others inhibit these phenomena. We find that these miRNAs genetically interact with genes in the DNA damage checkpoint response pathway and in the insulin signaling pathway. Our findings reveal that miRNAs both positively and negatively influence lifespan. Since several miRNAs up-regulated during aging regulate genes in conserved pathways of aging and thereby influence lifespan in C. elegans, we propose that miRNAs may play important roles in stress response and aging of more complex organisms. 4 sample examined: Wild-type (N2) and long-lived daf-2(e1379) animals at days 0 and 10 of adulthood

wt vs daf-2 C. elegans protein turnover

Project description:Most aging hypotheses revolve around the accumulation of some sort of damage resulting in gradual physiological decline and ultimately death. Avoiding protein damage accumulation by enhanced turnover should slow down the aging process and extend lifespan. However, lowering translational efficiency extends rather than shortens lifespan in C. elegans. We studied turnover of individual proteins in the conserved Insulin/Insulin-like Growth Factor (IGF-1) receptor mutant daf-2 by combining Stable Isotope Labeling by Nitrogen-15 in Caenorhabditis elegans and LC-MS/MS. Intriguingly, the majority of proteins displayed prolonged half-lives in daf-2, while others remained unchanged, signifying that longevity is not supported by high protein turnover. This slow-down of protein turnover was most prominent for components of the translation machinery and mitochondria. In contrast, the high turnover of lysosomal hydrolases and very low turnover of cytoskeletal proteins remained largely unchanged in daf-2. The slow-down of protein dynamics and decreased abundance of the translational machinery may point at the importance of anabolic attenuation in lifespan extension as suggested by the hyperfunction theory.
