TORC1 signaling pathway inhibition by rapamycin and caffeine affect lifespan, global gene expression and cell proliferation of fission yeast

ABSTRACT: Target of rapamycin complex 1 (TORC1) is implicated in growth control and aging from yeast to humans. Fission yeast is emerging as a popular model organism to study TOR signaling, although rapamycin has been thought to not affect cell growth in this organism. Here we analyzed the effects of rapamycin and caffeine, singly and combined, on multiple cellular processes in fission yeast. The two drugs led to diverse and specific phenotypes that depended on TORC1 signaling pathway inhibition, including prolonged chronological lifespan, inhibition of global translation, inhibition of cell growth and division, and reprogramming of global gene expression mimicking nitrogen starvation. Rapamycin and caffeine differentially affected these various TORC1-dependent processes. Combined drug treatment augmented most phenotypes and effectively blocked cell growth. Although rapamycin showed a much more subtle effect on global translation than did caffeine, rapamycin was more effective in prolonging chronological lifespan. Rapamycin prolonged the lifespan of non-growing cells only when applied during the growth phase but not when applied after cells had stopped proliferation. The doses of rapamycin and caffeine strongly correlated with growth inhibition and with lifespan extension. This comprehensive analysis will inform future studies into TORC1 function and cellular aging in fission yeast and beyond.

wild-type and gaf1 mutant cells treated with Torin1 or with a combination of caffeine/rapamycin

Project description:Target of Rapamycin Complex 1 (TORC1) signaling promotes growth and ageing. Inhibition of TORC1 leads to a down-regulation of factors that stimulate protein translation, which in turn contributes to longevity. TORC1-dependent post-transcriptional regulation of protein translation has been well studied, while analogous transcriptional regulation is less understood. Here we screened fission yeast deletion mutants for resistance to Torin1, which inhibits TORC1 and cell growth. Cells lacking the GATA transcription factor Gaf1 (gaf1Δ) grew normally even in high doses of Torin1. The gaf1Δ mutation shortened the chronological lifespan of non-dividing cells and diminished the longevity triggered by Torin1 treatment. Expression profiling and genome-wide binding experiments showed that, upon TORC1 inhibition, Gaf1 directly up-regulated genes for small-molecule metabolic pathways and indirectly repressed genes for protein translation. Surprisingly, Gaf1 bound to, and down-regulated the tRNA genes, so also functions as a transcription factor for genes transcribed by RNA polymerase III. Thus, Gaf1 controls the transcription of both coding and tRNA genes to inhibit translation and growth downstream of TORC1.

Inhibition of S6K lowers age-related inflammation and immunosenescence and increases lifespan via the endolysosomal system

Project description:The nutrient-sensing Target of Rapamycin complex 1 (TORC1) is an evolutionarily conserved regulator of longevity. S6 kinase (S6K) is an essential downstream mediator for the effect of TORC1 on longevity. However, mechanistic insights on how TORC1-S6K signalling promotes lifespan and healthspan are still limited. Here we show that activity of S6K in the Drosophila fat body is essential for rapamycin-mediated longevity. Fat-body-specific activation of S6K blocked lifespan extension upon rapamycin feeding and induced accumulation of multilamellar lysosomal enlargements. Besides, fat body-specific S6K knockdown extended lifespan in files. We performed proteomics for Drosophila fat body to explore the fat body-specific regulation of protein expression by two separate datasets: fat body-specific S6K activation (Lsp2GS>S6KCA) with rapamycin treatment; and fat body-specific S6K inhibition (Lsp2GS>S6KRNAi). To assess if the age-prolonging mechanisms of TORC1-S6K signalling are conserved between flies and mammals, we assessed the impact of rapamycin treatment in the proteome of liver from C3B6F1 mice (F1 hybrids of C3H/HeOuJ females and C57Bl/6N males).

Transcription profiling by array of Schizosaccharomyces pombe transcriptome during both proliferation and quiescence

Project description:Data on absolute molecule numbers are rare but will empower the modeling, understanding and comparison of cellular functions and biological systems. We quantified transcriptomes and proteomes in fission yeast during both proliferation and quiescence. This rich resource provides the first comprehensive reference for all RNA and most protein concentrations in a eukaryote under key physiological conditions. This integrated dataset will support quantitative biology and afford unique biological insights into cell regulation. While mRNAs are typically expressed in a narrow range above 1 copy/cell, most long non-coding RNAs, except for a specific subset, are strongly repressed below 1 copy/cell. Cell cycle-regulated transcription tunes mRNA numbers to phase-specific requirements but can also lead to switch-like expression. Proteins greatly exceed mRNAs in abundance and dynamic range, and their numbers scales with functional demands. Upon transition to quiescence, the proteome composition changes substantially but, in stark contrast to mRNAs, proteins do not uniformly decrease but scale with cell volume.

Gene expression comparison between yeast histone H2B WT and H2B R95A mutant without and with rapamycin treatment.

Project description:This microarray data is the Affymetrix array of RNA expressed by Wild Type and Mutant strains yeast that is untreated and treated with rapamycin. In yeast, rapamycin inhibits the TORC1 kinase signaling pathway causing rapid alteration in gene expression and ultimately cell cycle arrest in G1 and this study provides a new insight whereby rapamycin signaling via the Torc1 kinase may exploit the pheromone pathway.

Sch9 Is a Major Target of TORC1 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Project description:The Target Of Rapamycin (TOR) protein is a Ser/Thr kinase that functions in two distinct multiprotein complexes: TORC1 and TORC2. These conserved complexes regulate many different aspects of cell growth in response to intra- and extracellular cues. Here we report the first bona fide substrate of yeast TORC1: the AGC-kinase Sch9. Six amino acids in the c-terminus of Sch9 are directly phosphorylated by TORC1. Phosphorylation of these residues is lost upon rapamycin-treatment as well as carbon- or nitrogen-starvation and transiently reduced following application of osmotic, oxidative or thermal stress. TORC1-dependent phosphorylation is required for Sch9 activity and replacement of residues phosphorylated by TORC1 with Asp/Glu renders Sch9 activity TORC1-independent. Sch9 is required for TORC1 to properly regulate ribosome biogenesis, translation initiation and entry into G0 phase, but not expression of Gln3-dependent genes. Our results suggest that Sch9 functions analogously to the mammalian TORC1 substrate S6K1 rather than the mTORC2 substrate PKB/Akt. Keywords: time course, cell type. Global transcriptional analysis of rapamycin response was conducted on cells expressing either a wild-type, Sch9(WT), or TOR-independent allele of Sch9, Sch9(2D3E). Reference samples used were cells collected immediately prior to rapamycin treatment for the respective cell genotypes. Test samples were collected 20, 30, 60, 90, 120, and 180min post rapamycin treatment.

Gene expression by myriocin treatment

Project description:Studies of aging and longevity are revealing how diseases that shorten life can be controlled to improve the quality of life and lifespan itself. Two strategies under intense study to accomplish this goal are rapamycin treatment and calorie restriction. New strategies are being discovered including one that uses low-dose myriocin treatment. Myriocin inhibits the first enzyme in sphingolipid synthesis in all eukaryotes and we showed recently that low-dose myriocin treatment increases yeast lifespan at least in part by down-regulating the sphingolipid-controlled Pkh1/2-Sch9 (ortholog of mammalian S6 kinase) signaling pathway. Here we show that myriocin treatment has global influences and modulates the evolutionarily conserved Snf1/AMPK, PKA and TORC1 signaling pathways to enhance yeast lifespan. These extensive affects of myriocin rival those of rapamycin and calorie restriction. Our studies in yeast along with other studies in mammals reveal the potential of myriocin or related compounds to lower the incidence of age-related diseases in humans. No-myriocin-treated cells and myriocin-treated cells; three biological replicates in each treatment

Excised linear introns regulate growth in yeast

Project description:Spliceosomal introns are ubiquitous non-coding RNAs typically destined for rapid debranching and degradation. Here, we describe 34 excised Saccharomyces cerevisiae introns that, although rapidly degraded in log-phase growth, accumulate as linear RNAs under either saturated-growth conditions or other stresses that cause prolonged inhibition of TORC1, a key integrator of growth signaling. Introns that become stabilized remain associated with components of the spliceosome and differ from other spliceosomal introns in having a short distance between their lariat branch point and 3´ splice site, which is necessary and sufficient for their stabilization. Deletion of these unusual introns is disadvantageous in saturated conditions and causes aberrantly high growth rates of yeast chronically challenged with the TORC1 inhibitor rapamycin. Reintroduction of native or engineered stable introns suppresses this aberrant rapamycin response. Thus, excised introns function within the TOR growth-signaling network of S. cerevisiae, and more generally, excised spliceosomal introns can have biological functions.
