Nuclear receptor NHR-49 promotes peroxisome proliferation to compensate for aldehyde dehydrogenase deficiency in C. elegans

ABSTRACT: The intracellular level of fatty aldehydes is tightly regulated to minimize the formation of toxic aldehyde adducts of cellular components. Accordingly, deficiency of a fatty aldehyde dehydrogenase FALDH causes the neurologic disorder Sjögren-Larsson syndrome (SLS) in humans. However, cellular responses to unresolved, elevated fatty aldehyde levels are poorly understood. Based on lipidomic and imaging analysis, we report that the loss of endoplasmic reticulum-, mitochondria- and peroxisomes-associated ALH-4, the C. elegans FALDH ortholog, increases fatty aldehyde levels and reduces fat storage. ALH-4 deficiency in the intestine, cell-nonautonomously induces NHR-49/NHR-79-dependent hypodermal peroxisome proliferation. This is accompanied by the upregulation of catalases and fatty acid catabolic enzymes, as indicated by RNA sequencing. Such a response is required to counteract ALH-4 deficiency since alh-4; nhr-49 double mutant animals are not viable. Our work reveals unexpected inter-tissue communication of fatty aldehyde levels, and suggests pharmacological modulation of peroxisome proliferation as a therapeutic strategy for SLS.

NHR-49 controls a HIF-1 independent hypoxia adaptation pathway in Caenorhabditis elegans

Project description:The response to insufficient oxygen, termed hypoxia, is orchestrated by the conserved master regulator Hypoxia-Inducible Factor-1 (HIF-1), which is hyperactive in many cancers. Here, we describe a HIF-1 independent hypoxia response pathway controlled by Caenorhabditis elegans Nuclear Hormone Receptor NHR-49, an orthologue of mammalian lipid metabolism regulator Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor alpha (PPARα). nhr-49 is required for worm survival in hypoxia and is synthetically lethal with hif-1 in this context, demonstrating independent activity. RNA-seq data show that nhr-49 regulates a set of hif-1 independent hypoxia responsive genes, including autophagy genes that promote hypoxia survival. We further identified the Nuclear Hormone Receptor nhr-67 as a negative regulator and the Homeodomain-interacting Protein Kinase hpk-1 as a positive regulator in the NHR-49 pathway. Together, our experiments describe an essential hypoxia response pathway controlled by nhr-49 that includes new upstream and downstream components and is as important as hif-1 dependent hypoxia adaptation.

NHR-49/HNF4 integrates regulation of fatty acid metabolism with a protective transcriptional response to oxidative stress and fasting

Project description:Endogenous and exogenous stresses elicit transcriptional responses that limit damage and promote cell/organismal survival. Like its mammalian counterparts, Hepatocyte Nuclear Factor 4 (HNF4) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor a (PPARa), Caenorhabditis elegans NHR-49 is a well-established regulator of lipid metabolism. Here, we reveal that NHR-49 is essential to activate a transcriptional response common to organic peroxide and fasting, which includes the pro-longevity gene fmo-2/flavin-containing monoxygenase. These NHR-49-dependent, stress-responsive genes are also upregulated in long-lived glp-1/notch receptor mutants, and two of them contribute to increased oxidative stress resistance in wild-type worms and long-lived glp-1 mutants. Similar to its role in lipid metabolism, NHR-49 requires the Mediator subunit mdt-15 to promote stress-induced gene expression. However, NHR-49 acts independently from the transcription factor hlh-30/TFEB that also promotes fmo-2 expression. Similarly, activation of the p38 MAPK, PMK-1, which is important for adaptation to a variety of stresses, is only important for peroxide-induced expression of a subset of NHR-49-dependent genes, including fmo-2. Notably, we find that organic peroxide increases NHR-49 protein levels, apparently by a post-transcriptional mechanism that does not require PMK-1 activation. Together these findings establish a new role for the HNF4/PPARa-related NHR-49 as a stress-activated regulator of cytoprotective gene expression.

Loss of hsf-1 initiates intracellular lipid surveillance

Project description:To identify genes transcriptionally regulated by the nuclear hormone receptor, NHR-49, we performed RNA sequencing of wild-type and nhr-49(nr2041) loss-of-function mutant C. elegans. This transcriptomic dataset is utilized in the respective study to compare differentially regulated genes in nhr-49(nr2041) mutant worms to those treated with hsf-1 RNAi.

RNA-Sequencing used to identify the targets of NHR-49, a transcription factor that acts in distinct tissues to promote longevity versus immunity

Project description:Previously, we identified NHR-49, functional homolog of the key vertebrate lipid metabolism regulator HNF4/PPARa, as essential for the longevity of Germiline Strem Cell (GSC)-less animals. Since longevity and stress resistance have been reported to be strongly linked, we examined the role of NHR-49 in resistance against the human opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa, strain PA14. As a part of this effort we employed RNA-Sequencing to determine the downstream targets of NHR-49 in GSC-less animals.

Ferroptosis inhibition by oleic acid mitigates iron-overload-induced injury

Project description:Iron overload, characterized by accumulation of iron in tissues, induces a multiorgan toxicity whose mechanisms are not fully understood. Using cultured cell lines, Caenorhabditis elegans, and mice, we found that ferroptosis occurs in the context of iron-overload-mediated damage. Exogenous oleic acid protected against iron-overload-toxicity in cell culture and Caenorhabditis elegans by suppressing ferroptosis. In mice, oleic acid protected against FAC-induced liver lipid peroxidation and damage. Oleic acid changed the cellular lipid composition, characterized by decreased levels of polyunsaturated fatty acyl phospholipids and decreased levels of ether-linked phospholipids. The protective effect of oleic acid in cells was attenuated by GW6471 (a PPAR- antagonist), as well as in Caenorhabditis elegans lacking the nuclear hormone receptor NHR-49 (a PPAR- functional homologue). These results highlight ferroptosis as a driver of iron-overload-mediated damage, which is inhibited by oleic acid. This monounsaturated fatty acid represents a potential therapeutic approach to mitigating organ damage in iron overload individuals.
