Project description:The ketone body β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) is produced during dietary restriction, fasting, and exercise. A ketogenic diet (KD) results in long-term production of BHB outside of these contexts. We sought to determine a protein-matched, non-obese ketogenic diet (KD) would affect the longevity and healthspan of C57BL/6 male mice. We find that feeding KD every-other-week to prevent obesity (cyclic KD) reduces mid-life mortality but does not affect maximum lifespan. Similar feeding of a non-ketogenic high-fat/low-carbohydrate (HF) diet may have an intermediate effect on mortality. Cyclic KD improves memory performance in old age, while modestly improving composite measures of healthspan. RNAseq gene expression analysis identifies down-regulation of insulin, TOR, and fatty acid synthesis pathways as possible longevity mechanisms common to KD and HF. However, up-regulation of fasting-related PPARα target genes is unique to KD, consistent across tissues, and preserved in old age, suggesting a mechanism for an incremental benefit from KD. In all, we show that a non-obese ketogenic diet improves survival, memory, and healthspan into old age. These gene expression studies were carried out on 12 month-old male C56BL/6 mice from the NIA Aged Rodent Colony, habituated to AIN-93M control diet and then either maintained on this diet or switched for one week to a 75% kcal fat non-ketogenic high-fat diet or a 90% kcal fat ketogenic diet (all diets with 10% kcal from carbohydrates). Tissues were harvested in the middle of the nighttime feeding period (MN-3am).

Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer in men and the second in women worldwide, with most of the case occurrences in developed regions. CRC can be induced by luminal factors, like dietary components and bile acids. Bile acids are metabolized from cholesterol in the liver, stored in the gallbladder and released into the small intestine upon meal ingestion to facilitate the absorption of dietary lipids and lipid-soluble vitamins. Bile acids are effectively reabsorbed at the distal ileum and returned to the liver, and only a small portion (~2-5%) enters the colon. Here primary bile acids, like cholic acid (CA) and chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) are deconjugated by bacteria and secondary bile acids are formed, such as deoxycholic acid (DCA), ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) and lithocholic acid. DCA is the major component of the colonic bile acid pool and is found to be increased upon a high fat diet. Moreover, high levels of DCA are known to increase the risk of colorectal cancer by inducing cytotoxicity to epithelial cells. In this study the cytotoxicity of Caco-2 cells to stimulation with cholic acid is investigated.

Project description:Since healthspan-extending interventions such as caloric restriction or fasting robustly promote lipid catabolism, we investigated how lifespan and healthspan were affected by increased lipid catabolism via bmm (brummer, FBgn0036449), the major triglyceride hydrolase in Drosophila. Global overexpression of bmm strongly promoted lifespan extension as well as numerous markers of healthspan, including increased female fecundity, fertility maintenance, preserved locomotion activity, increased mitochondrial biogenesis and oxidative metabolism. Increased Bmm robustly upregulated the heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) family of proteins, which equipped the flies with higher resistance to heat, cold, and ER stress via improved proteostasis. Overexpression of bmm recapitulated major physiological changes associated with dietary restriction (DR) and conveyed its effects through dSir2. Taken together, these data show that bmm overexpression has broad beneficial effects on healthspan, and implicate lipolysis as a key node underlying the beneficial effects of dietary interventions known to improve healthspan.

Project description:Cholesterol has attracted significant attention as a possible lifespan regulator. It has been reported that serum cholesterol levels have an impact on mortality due to age-related disorders such as cardiovascular disease. Diet is also known to be an important lifespan regulator. Dietary restriction retards the onset of age-related diseases and extends lifespan in various organisms. Although cholesterol and dietary restriction are known to be lifespan regulators, it remains to be established whether cholesterol is involved in dietary restriction-induced longevity. Here, we show that cholesterol deprivation suppresses longevity induced by intermittent fasting, which is one of the dietary restriction regimens that effectively extend lifespan. We also found that cholesterol is required for the fasting-induced upregulation of transcriptional target genes such as the insulin/IGF-1 pathway effector DAF-16 and that cholesterol deprivation suppresses the long lifespan of the insulin/IGF-1 receptor daf-2 mutant. Remarkably, we found that cholesterol plays an important role in the fasting-induced nuclear accumulation of DAF-16. Moreover, knockdown of the cholesterol-binding protein NSBP-1, which has been shown to bind to DAF-16 in a cholesterol-dependent manner and to regulate DAF-16 activity, suppresses both fasting-induced longevity and DAF-16 nuclear accumulation. Furthermore, this suppression was not additive to the cholesterol deprivation-induced suppression, which suggests that NSBP-1 mediates, at least in part, the action of cholesterol to promote fasting-induced longevity and DAF-16 nuclear accumulation. These findings identify a novel role for cholesterol in the regulation of lifespan. Two independent replicates were performed. Total RNA was extracted with TRIzol (Invitrogen). The extracted RNA was purified with PureLink RNA Micro Kit (Invitrogen) and analyzed with Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer to assess the RNA integrity. The microarray procedures were performed according to Affymetrix protocols. Hybridized arrays were scanned using an Affymetrix GeneChip Scanner.

Project description:Transcriptome-based drug screening is emerging as a powerful tool to identify geroprotective compounds to intervene in age-related disease. We hypothesized that, by mimicking the transcriptional signature of the highly conserved longevity intervention of FOXO3 (daf-16 in worms) overexpression, we could identify and repurpose compounds with similar downstream effects to increase longevity. Our in silico screen, utilizing the LINCS transcriptome database of genetic and compound interventions, identified several FDA-approved compounds that activate FOXO downstream targets in mammalian cells. These included the neuromuscular blocker atracurium, which also robustly extends both lifespan and healthspan in C. elegans. This longevity is dependent on both daf-16 signaling and inhibition of the neuromuscular acetylcholine receptor. Other neuromuscular blockers tubocurarine and pancuronium caused similar healthspan benefits. Together, these data demonstrate the capacity to mimic genetic lifespan interventions with drugs, and in doing so, reveal that the neuromuscular acetylcholine receptor regulates the highly conserved FOXO/DAF-16 longevity pathway.

Project description:Tolerance of gut commensals to bile salt exposure is an important feature for their survival in and colonization of the intestinal environment. A transcriptomic approach was employed to study the response of Bifidobacterium breve UCC2003 to bile, allowing the identification of a number of bile-induced genes with a range of predicted functions. The potential role of a selection of these bile-inducible genes in bile protection was determined by heterologous expression in Lactococcus lactis with subsequent characterization of the recombinant strains. Genes coding for three transport systems belonging to the MFS superfamily, Bbr_0838, Bbr_0832 and Bbr_1756, and three ABC-type transporters, Bbr_0406-0407, Bbr_1804-1805 and Bbr_1826-1827, along with the dps gene Bbr_0016, were thus analyzed. L. lactis cells expressing selected transporters exhibited enhanced resistance and survival to bile. In addition, L. lactis cells expressing the Dps protein also demonstrated a higher resistance to bile. This work significantly improves our understanding as to how bifidobacteria respond to and survives bile exposure. In order to investigate differences in global gene expression upon growth or exposure of B. breve UCC2003 to cholic acid and ox-gall compared to normal growing cells, DNA microarray experiments were performed. Total RNA was isolated from B. breve UCC2003 cultures under normal conditions and cultures grown on or exposed to cholic acid and ox-gall. All experiments were performed as single experiments and targets where confirmed with QRT-PCR.

Project description:Various anti-aging interventions exhibit potential in extending lifespan, yet most of these interventions are inefficacy or even have deleterious effects on healthspan. Ginkgolide B (GB) is a Ginkgo biloba-derived small molecule that reduces aging-related morbidities; however, the effects of GB on healthspan and longevity remain elusive. Here, we report that continuous oral GB administration in mice starting at 20 months extended their lifespan by 20% and reduced tumour incidence. Besides, GB administration significantly improved healthspan evidenced by enhancement in muscle quality, physical performance, grip strength, metabolism, frailty index, systemic inflammation, and senescence. Moreover, GB administration ameliorated aging-related pathologies without any apparent adverse effects. Single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) revealed that GB improved aging-associated abnormal cell-type composition, intracellular signalling pathways, and cell-cell communication in skeletal muscles. GB also reduced the levels of aging-induced novel Runx1+ type 2B myonuclei, which are associated with apoptotic burden and aging-related signatures. Runx1 derived senescence, as shown by gain- and loss-of-function assays. Together, a new function of GB in extending the healthspan in aging is identified, which contributes to lifespan extension. The senomorphic effects of GB on the multifactorial aging process may provide new prospects for achieving healthy aging and longevity extension.

Project description: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.
