Lithocholic acid significantly extends the lifespan in Drosophila melanogaster by targeting multiple lifespan-extending pathways

ABSTRACT: Primary bile acids are produced in the liver whereas secondary bile acids such as lithocholic acid (LCA) are generated by gut bacteria from primary bile acids that escape the ileal absorption. Besides their well-known function as detergents in lipid digestion, bile acids are important signaling molecules mediating effects on the host’s metabolism. As energy metabolism is closely linked to aging and longevity we supplemented fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) with 50 µmol/l LCA either for 30 days or throughout their lifetime. LCA supplementation resulted in a significant induction of the mean (+12 days), median (+10 days) and maximum lifespan (+ 11 days) in comparison to untreated control flies. This lifespan extension was accompanied by an induction of spargel (srl), the fly homolog of mammalian PPARG co-activator 1a(PGC1A. In srl mutant flies, LCA failed to induce longevity emphasizing the essential role of srl in the observed lifespan extension. In addition, the administration of antibiotics to wild type flies abrogated LCA-mediated effects on both lifespan and srl expression, suggesting a substantial contribution of the intestinal microbiota to the LCA-induced longevity. In the present study, we show that the secondary bile acid LCA significantly induced the mean, the median and the maximum survival in Drosophila melanogaster. Our data suggest that besides an up-regulation of the PGC1a-homolog srl unidentified alterations in the structure or metabolism of gut microbiota contribute to the longevity effect of LCA.

dSirt6 Regulates Lifespan in Drosophila

Project description:Sirt6 is a multifunctional enzyme that regulates diverse cellular processes such as metabolism, DNA repair, and aging. Overexpressing Sirt6 extends lifespan in mice, but the underlying cellular mechanisms are unclear. Drosophila melanogaster are an excellent model to study genetic regulation of lifespan; however, despite extensive study in mammals, very little is known about Sirt6 function in flies. Here, we characterized the Drosophila ortholog of Sirt6, dSirt6, and examined its role in regulating longevity. dSirt6 is a nuclear and chromatin-associated protein with NAD+-dependent histone deacetylase activity. dSirt6 overexpression in flies produces robust lifespan extension in both sexes, while reducing dSirt6 levels shortens lifespan. dSirt6 OE flies have normal food consumption and fertility, but increased resistance to oxidative stress and reduced protein synthesis rates. Transcriptomic analyses reveal that dSirt6 OE reduces expression of genes involved in ribosome biogenesis, including many dMyc target genes. dSirt6 OE partially rescues many effects of dMyc OE, including increased nuclear size, up-regulation of ribosome biogenesis genes, and lifespan shortening. Lastly, dMyc haploinsufficiency does not convey additional lifespan extension to dSirt6 OE flies, suggesting dSirt6 OE is upstream of dMyc in regulating lifespan. Our results provide new insight into the mechanisms by which Sirt6 overexpression leads to longer lifespan.

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).

Untangling determinants of health and lifespan

Project description:The impact of chronic caloric restriction (CR) on health and survival in model organisms is complex and its underlying molecular mechanisms are poorly understood. Genetic background, sex, degree of CR and diet composition are expected modifiers of survival outcomes of this intervention. A recent study in mice addressed the impact of diet composition and feeding patterns used in nonhuman primates. It was found that, while diet composition alone did not impact longevity, fasting and calories were determinant for increased survival. We use here a combined physiological, multi-omics (transcriptomics-metabolomics), and integrated pathway analyses to gain insight into core and specific pathways associated with liver healthspan and lifespan. Main findings show that liver longevity pathways associated with CR predominantly correspond to detoxification, molecular turnover-repair-maintenance, and energy supply processes. Differential responses on lifespan extension provided by the different feeding strategies unveiled a distinct pattern of longevity pathways that centered around amino acid, fatty acid and nucleic acid metabolisms. Glycine-serine-threonine metabolism was a unique metabolic hub associated with lifespan whereas short-chain fatty acids and essential PUFAs metabolism were unique to healthspan. Nonhuman primate serum metabolomics data essentially recapitulated key features in mice.

Effect of methione restriction in the liver of WT and Lmna G609G KI mice

Project description:Dietary intervention constitutes a feasible approach for modulating metabolism and improving healthspan and lifespan. Methionine restriction (MR) delays the appearance of age-related diseases and increases longevity in normal mice. However, the effect of MR on premature aging remains to be elucidated. Here, we describe that MR extends lifespan in two different mouse models of Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) by reversing the transcriptome alterations in inflammation and DNA-damage response genes present in this condition. Further, MR improves the lipid profile and alters the levels of bile acids, both in wild-type and in progeroid mice. Notably, treatment with the bile acid cholic acid improves healthspan and lifespan in vivo. These results suggest the existence of a metabolic pathway involved in the longevity extension achieved by MR and support the possibility of dietary interventions for treating progeria.

An Isocaloric High-Fat Diet Improves Lifespan in Rats and Drosophila

Project description:The health effect of dietary fat has been one of the most vexing issues in the nutrition field. Few animal studies have examined the impact of high-fat diets on lifespan by controlling energy intake. In this study, we found that compared to a normal diet, an isocaloric high-fat diet (IHF) significantly prolonged lifespan by decreasing the profiles of free fatty acids (FFAs) in serum and multiple tissues by downregulating FFAs anabolism and upregulating catabolism pathways in rats and flies. Proteomics analysis in rats identified PPRC1 as a key protein that was significantly upregulated by nearly 2-fold by IHF, and among the FFAs, only palmitic acid (PA) was robustly and negatively associated with the expression of PPRC1. Using PPRC1 transgenic RNAi/overexpression flies and in vitro experiments, we further demonstrated that IHF significantly reduced PA, which could upregulate PPRC1 through PPARG, resulting in improvements in oxidative stress and inflammation and prolonging lifespan.

Identification of a bile acid-binding transcription factor in Clostridioides difficile using chemical proteomics

Project description:Clostridioides difficile is a Gram-positive anaerobic bacterium that is the leading cause of hospital-acquired gastroenteritis in the US. In the gut milieu, C. difficile encounters microbiota-derived bile acids capable of inhibiting its growth, which are thought to be a mechanism of colonization resistance. While the levels of certain bile acids in the gut correlate with susceptibility to C. difficile infection, their molecular targets in C. difficile remain unknown. In this study, we sought to use chemical proteomics to identify bile acid-interacting proteins in C. difficile. Using photoaffinity bile acid probes and chemical proteomics, we identified a previously uncharacterized MerR family protein, CD3583 (now BapR), as a putative bile acid-sensing transcription regulator. Our data indicate that BapR binds and is stabilized by lithocholic acid (LCA) in C. difficile. Although loss of BapR did not affect C. difficile's sensitivity to LCA, bapR mutant cells elongated more in the presence of LCA than wild-type cells. Transcriptomics revealed that BapR regulates the expression of the gene clusters mdeA-cd3573 and cd0618-cd0616, and cwpV, with the expression of the mdeA-cd3573 locus being specifically de-repressed in the presence of LCA in a BapR-dependent manner. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays revealed that BapR directly binds to the mdeA promoter region. Since mdeA is involved in amino acid-related sulfur metabolism and the mdeA-cd3573 locus encodes putative transporters, we propose that BapR senses a gastrointestinal tract-specific small molecule, LCA, as an environmental cue for metabolic adaptation.

Every-other-day feeding extends lifespan but fails to prevent many symptoms of aging in mice

Project description:Dietary restriction is a well-known model to induce longevity across a variety of model organisms ranging from worms, flies to mammals. However, whether lifespan extension is associated with retardation of aging phenotypes still remains unclear. Here, we address whether every-other-day feeding affects age-related gene expression in the brain.

PGAM5 promotes lasting FoxO activation after developmental mitochondrial stress and extends lifespan in Drosophila

Project description:The mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPRmt) has been associated with long lifespan across metazoans. In Caenorhabditis elegans, mild developmental mitochondrial stress activates UPRmt reporters and extends lifespan. We show that similar developmental stress is necessary and sufficient to extend Drosophila lifespan, and identify Phosphoglycerate Mutase 5 (PGAM5) as a mediator of this response. Developmental mitochondrial stress leads to activation of FoxO, via Apoptosis Signal-regulating Kinase 1 (ASK1) and Jun-N-terminal Kinase (JNK). This activation persists into adulthood and induces a select set of chaperones, many of which have been implicated in lifespan extension in flies. Persistent FoxO activation can be reversed by a high- protein diet in adulthood, through mTORC1 and GCN-2 activity. Accordingly, the observed lifespan extension is prevented on a high-protein diet and in FoxO-null flies. The diet-sensitivity of this pathway has important implications for interventions that seek to engage the UPRmt to improve metabolic health and longevity.

H3K9me2 protects lifespan against the transgenerational burden of germline transcription in C. elegans

Project description:Chromatin state influences lifespan and may allow for the epigenetic inheritance of this complex trait. At sites of active transcription, the COMPASS complex methylates histone H3 at lysine 4 (H3K4me). In Caenorhabditis elegans, reductions in COMPASS extend lifespan, and wild-type descendants of COMPASS mutants inherit longevity for four generations. Here we show that the longevity of COMPASS mutants is itself a transgenerational trait caused by gradual changes in the repressive chromatin factor H3K9me2. H3K9me2 is required for longevity in COMPASS mutants and can confer longevity when increased in other chromatin modifier mutants. H3K9me2 levels also correlate with a transgenerational decline in wild-type lifespan after freezing or starvation. We propose that germline transcription-coupled H3K4me encroaches on H3K9me2 to limit lifespan. Loss of COMPASS complex alleviates the burden of H3K4me and therefore extends lifespan. This study suggests a causal role for a single heterochromatin factor in the establishment and inheritance of longevity.

Differential view on the bile acids stress response of Clostridioides difficile_longterm stress

Project description:In this study, we aimed at the characterization of C. difficile’s stress response to the main four human bile acids. Although, a phenotypically description of growth differences upon challenge with different bile acids has been described (Lewis 2016, Thanissery 2017), there is no information on the adaptation of gene expression available. We employed a comprehensive proteomics approach to record stress signatures of the unconjugated bile acids CA, CDCA, DCA and LCA during long-term-stress conditions and could depict a general stress response concerning all four bile acids, but also specific responses to only a single or a few of the different bile acids. Our results are a starting point for the understanding of how the individual bile acids cocktail of a patient can decide on the outcome of a C. difficile infection
