Project description:Cellular senescence is induced by multiple stresses and results in a stable proliferation arrest accompanied by a pro-inflammatory secretome. Senescent cells accumulate during aging, promoting various age-related pathologies and thus limiting lifespan. The endoplasmic reticulum ITPR2 release channel and calcium fluxes from the ER to the mitochondria have been identified as drivers of cellular senescence in human cells. Here we show that Itpr2 knockout mice display improved aging such as increased lifespan, a better response to metabolic stress, less immunosenescence, as well as less liver steatosis and fibrosis. Cellular senescence, which is known to promote these alterations, is decreased in both Itpr2 KO mice and Itpr2 KO embryo-derived cells. Interestingly, ablation of ITPR2 in vivo and in vitro decreases the number of contacts between the mitochondria and the ER and forced contacts between these two organelles induce premature senescence in normal cells. These new findings shed light on the role of contacts and facilitated exchanges between the ER and the mitochondria through ITPR2 in regulating senescence and physiological aging.

Project description:The intimate association between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondrial membranes at ER-mitochondria contact sites (ERMCS) serves as a platform for several critical cellular processes, in particular lipid synthesis. Enzymes involved in lipid biosynthesis are enriched at contacts and membrane lipid composition at contacts is distinct relative to surrounding membranes. How contacts are remodeled and the subsequent biological consequences of altered contacts such as perturbed lipid metabolism remains poorly understood. Here we investigate if the ER-tethered ubiquitin-X domain adaptor 8 (UBXD8) regulates the lipids found in mitochondria-associated membranes (MAM). LC-MS/MS lipidomics found significant changes in distinct lipid species in the MAM fraction of UBXD8 knockout cells. Our results suggest that lipids in MAM are regulated by UBXD8.

Project description:SEPN1 is a type II protein of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) whose loss of function gives rise to a collection of debilitating autosomal recessive myopathies gathered under the umbrella term of SEPN1-related myopathy (RM). At the moment, SEPN1-RM lacks an effective pharmacological treatment; thus, the medical management of the disease is only supportive. The potentially fatal diaphragmatic weakness leading to respiratory insufficiency in patients still ambulant is the main reason for medical concerns. Thus, studies on SEPN1-RM pathogenesis are necessary to implement a targeted pharmacological therapy aimed at relieving the general muscle weakness and the more worrisome diaphragmatic dysfunction. Here, we show a physical and functional interaction between SEPN1 and the ER stress mediator ERO1 alpha (henceforth, ERO1). Both SEPN1 and ERO1 are involved in the redox regulation of proteins into the ER, although in an opposite way SEPN1 imposes a less oxidant ER poise while ERO1 a more oxidant one, conceivable with a reductase function of SEPN1 and an oxidase one of ERO1. Furthermore, both are mainly localized in a region of the ER in close contact with mitochondria termed mitochondria-associated membranes (MAMs) and their loss impacts oppositely on the short-range MAMs, thereby impinging ER-mitochondria Ca2+ dynamics, OXPHOS, and bioenergetics. We find that ERO1 depletion restores the impaired short-range MAMs due to SEPN1 loss together with mitochondrial ATP. ERO1 knockout in a mouse background of SEPN1 loss blunts ER stress and the consequent Unfolded Protein Response (UPR) while it rescues the diaphragmatic weakness by improving ER/mitochondria contacts, calcium dynamics, and OXPHOS. Importantly, treatments of SEPN1 knock out mice with the chemical chaperone tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) mimic the results of ERO1 loss improving calcium dynamics, OXPHOS, ER/mitochondria contacts, thereby rescuing diaphragmatic weakness as well. In addition, TUDCA-treated SEPN1-RM patients-derived myoblasts show a dynamic dose-dependent increase in ATP levels under ER stress conditions suggesting improved mitochondrial function. Thus, our findings point to the ERO1 axis in the pathogenesis of SEPN1-RM thereby impinging on MAMs and mitochondria bioenergetics and recall for the efficacy of a pharmacology therapy with ad hoc ER stress/ERO1 inhibitors for SEPN1-RM.

Project description:Although CD4 T cell senescence plays an important role in immunosenescence, the mechanisms remain unclear. We found that T cell-specific Menin deficiency results in the premature senescence of CD4 T cells, accompanied by the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) after antigenic stimulation. TH1 and TH2 differentiation was dysregulated in Menin-knockout CD4 T cells. Bach2, which regulates SASP and TH differentiation, was identified as a Menin target. Menin binds to the Bach2 locus, and controls its expression through maintenance of histone acetylation. These findings reveal a critical role of the Menin-Bach2 pathway in regulating CD4 T cell senescence and homeostasis, thus indicating the involvement of this pathway in the inhibition of age-associated development of inflammatory diseases, which are induced by immunosenescence.

Project description:Functional crosstalk between organelles is critical for maintaining cellular homeostasis. Individually, dysfunction of both endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondria have been linked to cellular and organismal aging, but little is known about how mechanisms of inter-organelle communication might be targeted to extended longevity. The metazoan unfolded protein response (UPR) maintains ER health through a variety of mechanisms beyond its canonical role in proteostasis, including calcium storage and lipid metabolism. Here we provide evidence that in C. elegans, inhibition of the conserved UPR mediator, activating transcription factor (atf)-6 increases lifespan via modulation of calcium homeostasis and signaling to the mitochondria. Loss of atf-6 confers long life via downregulation of the ER calcium buffering protein, calreticulin. Function of the ER calcium release channel, the inositol triphosphate receptor (IP3R/itr-1), is required for atf-6 mutant longevity while a gain-of-function IP3R/itr-1 mutation is sufficient to extend lifespan. IP3R dysfunction leads to altered mitochondrial behavior and hyperfused morphology, which is sufficient to suppress long life in atf-6 mutants. Highlighting a novel and direct role for this inter-organelle coordination of calcium in longevity, the mitochondrial calcium import channel, mcu-1, is also required for atf-6 mutant longevity. Altogether this study reveals the importance of organellar coordination of calcium handling in determining the quality of aging, and highlights calcium homeostasis as a critical output for the UPR and atf-6 in particular.

Project description:Although CD4 T cell senescence plays an important role in immunosenescence, the mechanism behind this process remains unclear. Here we show that T cell-specific Menin deficiency results in the premature senescence of CD4 T cells, which is accompanied by the senescence-associated secretory phenotype after antigenic stimulation and dysregulated cytokine production. Menin is required for the expansion and survival of antigen-stimulated CD4 T cells in vivo and acts by targeting Bach2, which is known to regulate immune homeostasis and cytokine production. Menin binds to the Bach2 locus, and controls its expression through maintenance of histone acetylation. Menin binding at the Bach2 locus and the Bach2 expression are decreased in the senescent CD4 T cells. These findings reveal a critical role of the Menin-Bach2 pathway in regulating CD4 T cell senescence and cytokine homeostasis, thus indicating the involvement of this pathway in the inhibition of immunosenescence.

Project description:Adult stem cells (SCs) are essential for tissue maintenance and regeneration yet are susceptible to SC senescence during aging. Here we demonstrate the importance of cellular NAD+ level and its impact on mitochondrial activity as a pivotal switch to modulate muscle stem cell (MuSC) senescence. Importantly, the induction of the mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPRmt) and of prohibitin proteins, subsequent to increasing cellular NAD+ with the precursor nicotinamide riboside (NR), rejuvenates MuSCs in aged mice. NR also prevents MuSCs senescence in Mdx mice, a mouse model of muscular dystrophy. Extending these observations to other SC pools and on the organism as a whole, we demonstrate that NR delays neural stem cell (NSC) and melanocyte stem cell (McSC) senescence, while also increasing mouse lifespan. Strategies that conserve cellular NAD+ could therefore be utilized to reprogram dysfunctional SCs in aging and disease to improve lifespan in mammals

Project description:Organelles such as endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondria interact with each other at specialized domains on the ER known as mitochondria-associated membranes (MAMs). Here, using three-dimensional high-resolution imaging techniques, we show that the Sel1LHrd1 protein complex, the most conserved branch of ER-associated protein degradation (ERAD), exerts a profound impact on ER-mitochondria contacts and mitochondrial dynamics, at least in part, by regulating the turnover and hence the abundance of the MAM protein sigma receptor 1 (SigmaR1). Sel1L or Hrd1 deficiency in brown adipocytes impairs dynamic interaction between ER and mitochondria, leading to the formation of pleomorphic “megamitochondria” and, in some cases with penetrating ER tubule(s), in response to acute cold challenge. Mice with ERAD deficiency are cold sensitive and exhibit mitochondrial dysfunction in brown adipocytes. Mechanistically, endogenous SigmaR1 is targeted for proteasomal degradation by Sel1L-Hrd1 ERAD, whose accumulation in ERAD-deficient cells leads to mitofusin 2 (Mfn2) oligomerization, thereby linking ERAD to mitochondrial dynamics. Our study identifies Sel1L-Hrd1 ERAD as a critical determinant of ER-mitochondria contacts, thereby regulating mitochondrial dynamics and thermogenesis.

Perturbation of contacts and inherent lipid synthesis is emerging as a hallmark in a variety of human disorders such as neurodegeneration. Our results suggest that contacts are exquisitely sensitive to alterations to membrane lipid composition and saturation in a manner that is dependent on UBXD8.

Abstract:
Altered molecular responses to insulin and growth factors
(GF) are responsible for late-life shortening diseases such as
type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and cancers. We have built a
network of the signaling pathways that control S-phase entry
and a specific type of senescence called geroconversion. We
have translated this network into a Boolean model to study
possible cell phenotype outcomes under diverse molecular
signaling conditions. In the context of insulin resistance, the
model was able to reproduce the variations of the senescence
level observed in tissues related to T2DM's main morbidity and
mortality. Furthermore, by calibrating the pharmacodynamics of
mTOR inhibitors, we have been able to reproduce the
dose-dependent effect of rapamycin on liver degeneration and
lifespan expansion in wild-type and HER2-neu mice. Using the
model, we have finally performed an in silico prospective
screen of the risk-benefit ratio of rapamycin dosage for
healthy lifespan expansion strategies. We present here a
comprehensive prognostic and predictive systems biology tool
for human aging.
