Modulation of protease expression by PITX transcription factors regulates protein quality control during aging

ABSTRACT: Protein quality control is important for healthy aging and is dysregulated in several age-related diseases. The autophagy-lysosome and ubiquitin-proteasome systems are key for proteostasis but it remains largely unknown whether other proteolytic systems maintain protein quality control during aging. Here, we find that the expression of proteolytic enzymes (proteases/peptidases) distinct from the autophagy-lysosome and ubiquitin-proteasome systems declines during skeletal muscle aging in Drosophila. Age-dependent downregulation of proteases undermines proteostasis, as demonstrated by the increase in detergent-insoluble poly-ubiquitinated proteins and pathogenic huntingtin-polyQ in response to protease RNAi. Transcriptomic analysis identifies Ptx1, homologous to human PITX1/2/3, as a transcriptional regulator of proteases. Specifically, RNAi for Ptx1 increases the expression of age-downregulated proteases and improves protein quality. Moreover, muscle-specific expression of Ptx1 RNAi extends lifespan. These findings indicate that protein quality control is ensured during aging by autophagy/proteasome-independent proteases that degrade misfolded and aggregation-prone proteins and by their transcriptional modulator Ptx1.

Proteasome Stress in Skeletal Muscle Mounts a Long-Range Protective Response that Delays Retinal and Brain Aging [Drosophila]

Project description:The proteasome maintains protein quality during aging and disease. Challenges to proteasome function can be compensated by local proteasome stress responses. However, whereas proteasome stress is also sensed systemically is unknown. In Drosophila , we find that proteasome stress in skeletal muscle non-autonomously promotes the degradation of proteasome substrates in distant tissues during aging. Several muscle-secreted factors (myokines) are upregulated by proteasomal stress via C/EBP transcription factors, including the amylase Amyrel, which increases the circulating levels of the disaccharide maltose. Muscle-specific Amyrel overexpression promotes the degradation of proteasome substrates in the aging brain and retina via the transcriptional induction of chaperones and proteases. Conversely, RNAi for maltose transporters worsens proteostasis and reduces the expression of Amyrel-induced genes in the brain. Moreover, maltose preserves protein quality in cell culture and human cortical brain organoids challenged by thermal stress. Thus, proteasome stress in skeletal muscle mounts a systemic adaptive response via amylase/maltose signaling.

A genome-wide longitudinal transcriptome analysis of the aging model Podospora anserina

Project description:Aging of biological systems is controlled by various processes which have a potential impact on gene expression. Here we report a genome-wide transcriptome analysis of the fungal aging model Podospora anserina. Total RNA of three individuals of defined age were pooled and analyzed by SuperSAGE (serial analysis of gene expression). A bioinformatics analysis identified different molecular pathways to be affected during aging. While the abundance of transcripts linked to ribosomes and to the proteasome quality control system were found to decrease during aging, those associated with autophagy increase, suggesting that autophagy may act as a compensatory quality control pathway. Transcript profiles associated with the energy metabolism including mitochondrial functions were identified to fluctuate during aging. Comparison of wild-type transcripts, which are continuously down-regulated during aging, with those down-regulated in the long-lived, copper-uptake mutant grisea, validated the relevance of age-related changes in cellular copper metabolism. Overall, we (i) present a unique age-related data set of a longitudinal study of the experimental aging model P. anserina which represents a reference resource for future investigations in a variety of organisms, (ii) suggest autophagy to be a key quality control pathway that becomes active once other pathways fail, and (iii) present testable predictions for subsequent experimental investigations.

Hematopoietic Stem Cells Preferentially Traffic Misfolded Proteins to Aggresomes and Depend on Aggrephagy to Maintain Protein Homeostasis

Project description:Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) regenerate blood cells throughout life. To preserve their fitness, HSCs are particularly dependent on maintaining protein homeostasis (proteostasis). However, how HSCs purge misfolded proteins is unknown. Here we show that in contrast to most cells that primarily utilize the proteasome to degrade misfolded proteins, HSCs preferentially traffic misfolded proteins to aggresomes in a Bag3-dependent manner, and depend on aggrephagy, a selective form of autophagy, to maintain proteostasis in vivo. When autophagy is disabled, HSCs compensate by increasing proteasome activity, but proteostasis is ultimately disrupted as protein aggregates accumulate and HSC function is impaired. Bag3-deficiency blunts aggresome formation in HSCs, resulting in protein aggregate accumulation, myeloid-biased differentiation, and diminished self-renewal activity. Furthermore, HSC aging is associated with a severe loss of aggresomes and reduced autophagic flux. Protein degradation pathways are thus specifically configured in young adult HSCs to preserve proteostasis and fitness, but become dysregulated during aging.

Titered FOXO overexpression maintains cardiac proteostasis and ameliorates age-associated functional decline

Project description:Heart performance declines with age. Reduced protein quality control (PQC) due to decreased function of the ubiquitin/proteasome system (UPS), autophagy, and/or chaperone-mediated protein refolding is a likely contributor to age-associated cardiac performance decline. The transcription factor FOXO participates in the regulation of genes involved PQC and a host of other processes. Here, the effect of cardiac-restricted dFOXO overexpression was investigated in Drosophila, a genetically pliable and rapidly aging model. Modest dFOXO overexpression in the heart was protective, ameliorating functional decline with age. Increased expression of genes associated predominantly with UPS relative to other PQC components accompanied dFOXO-mediated cardioprotection, which was corroborated by a significant decrease in ubiquitinated myocardial proteins. In agreement, knockdown of upregulated UPS components seemingly induced premature aging. Despite these findings, excessive dFOXO overexpression or knockdown proved detrimental to heart function and overall organismal development. This study highlights Drosophila as a model of cardiac aging and FOXO as a tightly-regulated mediator of proteostasis and heart performance over time. Two replicates of 4 different samples were analyzed. Two of these samples were controls (GMH5 x yw 1 week and GMH5 x yw 5 week).

Transcription profiling by array of human HEK293 cells treated with the proteasome inhibitor epoxomicin

Project description:The objective of this study is to identify the genes that are up-regulated amid proteasome dysfunction to facilitate the discovery of proteolytic pathways that are activated as a compensatory response to proteasome inhibition. Proteasome is a large multi-component proteolytic complex in the cell. It is responsible for the constitutive turn-over of many cellular proteins as well as the degradation of oxidized and/or unfolded proteins. With such a fundamental role in the cell, disruption of proteasome understandably can lead to disastrous outcome. Oxidative stress has been postulated as the driving mechanism for aging. Oxidatively modified proteins, which usually have lost their activity, require immediate removal by proteasome to maintain normal cellular function. Dysfunction of proteasome has also been linked to neuro-degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer?¢¬Ä¬ôs and Parkinson?¢¬Ä¬ôs diseases, those that are most commonly seen in aged population. There is more than one proteolytic pathway in the cell, and it has been reported that obstruction of any one of these pathways may enhance the activity of the others. Proteasomal function has been found to have decreased during aging, prompting researchers to hypothesize that failure to remove oxidized proteins may play an important role in aging. It would be interesting to determine the other proteolytic pathways that are activated after proteasome inhibition by a relatively specific inhibitor epoxomicin to help understand their roles in aging processes. Experiment Overall Design: Human embryonic kidney cells (HEK293) were untreated or treated with 1 uM epoxomicin for 1 and 6 hours. Total RNA was extracted for gene expression profiling using Affymetrix human genome U133 2.0 plus chip. A quadrupliate was prepared for each treatment.

Disrupting the Myc-Tfeb circuit confers vulnerabilities targeting amino acid homeostasis and provokes metabolic anergy

Project description:Metabolic reprogramming sustains cancer cell anabolism, and MYC oncoproteins control many aspects of this response. Normal cells adapt to nutrient-limiting conditions by activating autophagy, which is required for amino acid (AA) homeostasis. Surprisingly, here we report the autophagy-lysosomal pathway is suppressed by Myc in normal B cells, in premalignant and neoplastic B cells of Eµ-Myc transgenic mice, and in MYC-driven human Burkitt lymphoma. Myc suppresses autophagy by antagonizing expression and function of TFEB, a master regulator of autophagy/lysosome genes. Notably, compensatory mechanisms that sustain AA pools in MYC-expressing B cells include marked increases in AA transport and coordinate induction of the proteasome. Finally, reactivation of the autophagy-lysosomal pathway by constitutively active TFEB disables the malignant state, by perturbing mitochondrial functions and disrupting proteasome activity, amino acid transport, and disrupts amino acid and nucleotide metabolism, leading to growth arrest and apoptosis. This scenario provides therapeutic opportunities that disable MYC-driven tumorigenesis, including AA restriction and treatment with proteasome inhibitors.
