The Resveratrol Rice DJ526 Callus Significantly Increases the Lifespan of Drosophila (Resveratrol Rice DJ526 Callus for Longevity).

ABSTRACT: Resveratrol has gained widespread scientific attention due to its ability to significantly extend the lifespan of yeast. However, research on the efficacy of resveratrol on lifespan extension has yielded mixed results in animal studies, making resveratrol a contentious subject. In our previous work, we reported that transgenic resveratrol rice DJ526 showed unusual health benefits beyond expectations. In this work, we established a callus culture of resveratrol rice DJ526, which contains 180 times more resveratrol than the grain, and found that resveratrol rice callus significantly extended the median lifespan of Drosophila melanogaster by up to 50% compared to the control. The resveratrol rice callus also ameliorated age-dependent symptoms, including locomotive deterioration, body weight gain, eye degeneration, and neurodegeneration of D. melanogaster with age progression. Considering that resveratrol is the most preferred antiaging compound due to its superior safety and proven mechanism against many serious adult diseases, the outstanding efficacy of resveratrol on the longevity of wild-type animals could cast a light on the development of antiaging therapeutic agents.

Project description:Dietary restriction (DR) is the most consistent means of extending longevity in a wide range of organisms. A growing body of literature indicates that mitochondria play an important role in longevity extension by DR, but the impact of mitochondrial genotypes on the DR process have received little attention. Mitochondrial function requires proper integration of gene products from their own genomes (mtDNA) and the nuclear genome as well as the metabolic state of the cell, which is heavily influenced by diet. These three-way mitochondrial-nuclear-dietary interactions influence cellular and organismal functions that affect fitness, aging, and disease in nature. To examine these interactions in the context of longevity, we generated 18 "mito-nuclear" genotypes by placing mtDNA from strains of Drosophila melanogaster and D. simulans onto controlled nuclear backgrounds of D. melanogaster (Oregon-R, w1118, SIR2 overexpression and control) and quantified the lifespan of each mitonuclear genotype on five different sugar:yeast diets spanning a range of caloric and dietary restriction (CR and DR). Using mixed effect models to quantify main and interaction effects, we uncovered strong mitochondrial-diet, mitochondrial-nuclear, and nuclear-diet interaction effects, in addition to three-way interactions. Survival analyses demonstrate that interaction effects can be more important than individual genetic or dietary effects on longevity. Overexpression of SIR2 reduces lifespan variation among different mitochondrial genotypes and further dampens the response of lifespan to CR but not to DR, suggesting that response to these two diets involve different underlying mechanisms. Overall the results reveal that mitochondrial-nuclear genetic interactions play important roles in modulating Drosophila lifespan and these epistatic interactions are further modified by diet. More generally, these findings illustrate that gene-by-gene and gene-by-environment interactions are not simply modifiers of key factors affecting longevity, but these interactions themselves are the very factors that underlie important variation in this trait.
