Distinct mechanisms of non-autonomous UPRER mediated by GABAergic, glutamatergic, and octopaminergic neurons

ABSTRACT: The capacity to deal with stress declines during the aging process, and preservation of cellular stress responses is critical to healthy aging. The unfolded protein response of the endoplasmic reticulum (UPRER) is one such conserved mechanism which is critical for the maintenance of several major functions of the ER during stress, including protein folding and lipid metabolism. Hyperactivation of the UPRER by overexpression of the major transcription factor, xbp-1s, solely in neurons drives lifespan extension as neurons send a neurotransmitter-based signal to other tissue to activate UPRER in a non-autonomous fashion. Previous work identified serotonergic and dopaminergic neurons in this signaling paradigm. To further expand our understanding of the neural circuitry that underlies the non-autonomous signaling of ER stress, we activated UPRER solely in glutamatergic, octopaminergic, and GABAergic neurons in C. elegans and paired whole-body transcriptomic analysis with functional assays. We found that UPRER-induced signals from glutamatergic neurons increased expression of canonical protein homeostasis pathways and octopaminergic neurons promoted pathogen response pathways, while minor, but statistically significant changes were observed in lipid metabolism-related genes with GABAergic UPRER activation. These findings provide further evidence for the distinct role neuronal subtypes play in driving the diverse response to ER stress.

Large-scale genetic screens identify BET-1 as a cytoskeleton regulator promoting actin health and lifespan

Project description:The actin cytoskeleton is a three-dimensional scaffold of proteins that is a regulatory, energy-consuming material with dynamic properties shaping the structure and function of the cell. The proper function of actin is required for many cellular pathways, including cell division, autophagy, chaperone function, endocytosis, and exocytosis (1–5). The breakdown of these cellular processes manifests during aging and exposure to stress, which is in part due to the breakdown of the actin cytoskeleton (5–9). However, the regulatory mechanisms involved in preservation of cytoskeletal form and function are not well understood. Here, we performed a multi-pronged, cross-organismal screen combining a whole-genome CRISPR-Cas9 screen in human fibroblasts with in vivo C. elegans synthetic lethality screening. We identified the bromodomain protein, BET-1, as a key regulator promoting actin health and longevity. Interestingly, overexpression of bet-1 preserves actin health at late age and promotes lifespan and healthspan in C. elegans. These beneficial effects are through preservation of actin, downstream of the function of BET-1 as a transcriptional regulator. Together, our discovery attributes assigns a key role of BET-1 in cytoskeletal health, highlighting regulatory cellular networks promoting cytoskeletal homeostasis.

Mechanical stress through growth on stiffer substrates has only mild impacts on animal health and longevity in C. elegans

Project description:Mechanical stress is a measure of internal resistance exhibited by a body or material when external forces, such as compression, tension, bending, etc. are applied. The study of mechanical stress on health and aging is a continuously growing field, as major changes to the extracellular matrix and cell-to-cell adhesions can result in dramatic changes to tissue stiffness during aging and diseased conditions. For example, during normal aging, many tissues including the ovaries, skin, blood vessels, and heart exhibit increased stiffness, which can result in a significant reduction in function of that organ. As such, numerous model systems have recently emerged to study the impact of mechanical and physical stress on cell and tissue health, including cell-culture conditions with matrigels and other surfaces that alter substrate stiffness and ex vivo tissue models that can apply stress directly to organs like muscle or tendons. Here, we sought to develop a novel method in an in vivo, model organism setting to study the impact of mechanical stress on aging, by increasing substrate stiffness in solid agar medium of C. elegans. To our surprise, we found shockingly limited impact of growth of C. elegans on stiffer substrates, including limited effects on cellular health, gene expression, organismal health, stress resilience, and longevity. Overall, our studies reveal that altering substrate stiffness of growth medium for C. elegans have only mild impact on animal health and longevity; however, these impacts were not nominal and open up important considerations for C. elegans biologists in standardizing agar medium choice for experimental assays.

Investigating impacts of mycothiazole and its synthetic derivative on mitochondrial function and aging in C. elegans

Project description:Small molecule inhibitors of mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) hold significant promise in the field of mitochondrial research and aging biology. In this study, we studied two molecules: mycothiazole (MTZ) - isolated from the marine sponge P. mycofijiensis and its semisynthetic acetylated derivative 8-O-acetylmycothiazole (8-OAc) as efficient alternatives for their high efficiency to inhibit ETC complex I function. Similar to rotenone, a widely used complex I inhibitor, these two compounds showed anticancer activity and strikingly demonstrate a lack of toxicity to non-cancer cells, a highly beneficial feature in the development of anti-cancer therapeutics. Furthermore, experiments with these small molecules in vivo utilizing C.elegans demonstrate their additional utilization to aging studies. We observed that both molecules have the ability to induce a mitochondria-specific unfolded protein response (UPRMT) pathway, which extends lifespan of worms when applied in their adult stage. Interestingly, we also found that these two molecules employ different pathways to extend lifespan in worms, where MTZ utilize the transcription factors, ATFS-1 and HSF-1, which are involved in the UPRMT and heat shock response (HSR) pathways, respectively. In opposition,8-OAc only required HSF-1 and not ATFS-1. This observation elucidates an important insight into the functional roles of various protein subunits of ETC complexes and their regulatory mechanisms associated with aging.

In vivo assessment of ROS production and oxidative stress effects induced by chronic exposure to gamma radiation in C. elegans

Project description:Ionizing radiation-induced changes to the redox balance does not only represent a risk for the cellular homeostasis, but can also induce a drastic modulation in the overall signalling system of cells. In the current study, effects of chronic exposure to ionizing gamma radiation were assessed in the radioresistant nematode Caenorhabditis elegans in order to understand whether antioxidant defences (AODs) could ameliorate radical formation, or if increased ROS levels would cause oxidative damage. This analysis was accompanied by phenotypical as well as molecular investigations, via assessment of reproductive capacity and somatic growth and differential gene expression through RNA sequencing. The use of a fluorescent reporter strain (sod1::gfp) and two ratiometric biosensors (Hyper and Grx1-roGFP2) demonstrated increased ROS production (H2O2) and activation of AODs (SOD1 and GPx) in vivo. The data indicate that at dose-rates ≤10 mGy/h defence mechanisms were able to prevent the manifestation of oxidative stress. In contrast, at dose-rates ≥40 mGy/h the constant formation of radicals induced a redox shift, which lead to oxidative damage responses, including changes in mitochondrial metabolism and functions, protein degradation, lipid metabolism, collagen synthesis and modulation of transcription. Moreover, genotoxic effects were among the most over-represented functions affected by chronic gamma irradiation, as indicated by differential regulation of genes involved in DNA damage, DNA repair, cell-cycle checkpoints, chromosome segregation and chromatin remodelling. Ultimately, the exposure to gamma radiation caused reprotoxic effects, with >20% reduction in the number of offspring per adult hermaphrodite at dose-rates ≥40 mGy/h, accompanied by the down-regulation of more than 300 genes related to reproductive system, meiotic functions and gamete development and fertilization.

RNAseq of C. elegans cultured on metformin sensitive and resistant E. coli strains with and without 50mM metformin treatment.

Project description:Metformin is the therapy of choice for treating type 2 diabetes and is currently repurposed for a wide range of diseases including aging. Recent evidence implicates the gut microbiota as a site of metformin action. Combining two tractable genetic models, the bacterium E. coli and the nematode C. elegans, we performed C. elegans RNAseq to investigate the role of the metformin sensitive OP50 and metformin resistant OP50-MR E. coli microbiota in the drug effects on the host. Our data suggest an evolutionarily conserved bacterial mediation of metformin effects on host lipid metabolism and lifespan.
