Project description:Analysis of the translational changes induced upon DR in male Drosophila. Experiment Overall Design: 1-2 day old flies were transferred onto 4% or 0.25% YE food for 6 days. ~100 male flies were then ground and RNA was separated by size on a sucrose gradient and fractionated using a Teledyne density gradient fractionator and a polysome profile was produced by monitoring the abs at 252nm. RNA was then prepared from the low (1-4 ribosomes bound) and high (5 or more ribosomes bound) translation fractions. A translational index was then calculated for each mRNA. The changes in translational index upon DR were then evaluated. This was done in triplicate on individual biological replicates.

Project description:The beneficial effects of dietary restriction (DR) are associated with a rearrangement of gene expression that modulate metabolic and cytoprotective pathways. However, the effect of DR on the cerebellar transcriptome remained to be fully defined. Therefore we analyzed the effect of 30% DR on the transcriptome of cerebellar cortex of young-adult male mice using RNAseq.

Project description:Circadian clocks may mediate lifespan extension by caloric or dietary restriction (DR). We find that the core clock transcription factor Clock is crucial for a robust longevity and fecundity response to DR in Drosophila. To identify clock-controlled mediators, we performed RNA-sequencing from abdominal fat bodies across the 24 h day after just 5 days under control or DR diets. In contrast to more chronic DR regimens, we did not detect significant changes in the rhythmic expression of core clock genes. Yet we discovered that DR induced de novo rhythmicity or increased expression of rhythmic clock output genes. Network analysis revealed that DR increased network connectivity in one module comprised of genes encoding proteasome subunits. Adult, fat body specific RNAi knockdown demonstrated that proteasome subunits contribute to DR-mediated lifespan extension. Thus, clock control of output links DR-mediated changes in rhythmic transcription to lifespan extension. Funding: DARPA D12AP00023

Project description:Living organisms adjust their proteome in response to nutritional conditions, but how these changes are transmitted across generations remains unclear. While unicellular organisms can inherit proteome states through symmetric division, multicellular organisms face limitations due to the soma-germline barrier. Using TMT-based quantitative proteomics, we investigated the intergenerational effects of dietary restriction (DR) on proteome allocation in C. elegans. While DR caused substantial proteome-wide changes within a generation, most of these changes were reset in the next generation. However, ribosomal proteins remained significantly reduced in progeny of DR mothers. This ribosomal reduction leads to an initial growth delay when encountering nutrient-rich conditions. This dataset provides a comprehensive resource to explore how proteome changes induced by DR are inherited across generations and to identify regulatory factors involved in ribosome inheritance and growth adaptation.

Project description:Dietary restriction (DR) is a robust environmental intervention that slows aging in various species. Changes in fat content have been associated with DR, but whether they play a causal role in mediating various responses to DR remains unknown. We demonstrate that upon DR, Drosophila melanogaster shift their metabolism towards increasing both fatty acid synthesis and breakdown. Inhibition of acetyl CoA carboxylase (ACC), a critical enzyme in fatty acid synthesis, or fatty acid oxidation genes specifically in the muscle tissue inhibited the lifespan extension observed upon DR, suggesting a critical role for intra-myocellular fatty acid metabolism. DR enhances spontaneous activity of flies which was found to be dependent on the enhanced fatty acid metabolism. Furthermore, this increase in activity upon DR was found to partially mediate the lifespan extension upon DR. Over-expression of adipokinetic hormone (dAKH) in whole flies, which increases fat metabolism, led to an increase in spontaneous activity and lifespan in a nutrient dependent manner. Together these results suggest that in Drosophila melanogaster enhanced fat metabolism in the muscle is a key metabolic adaptation in response to DR.

Project description:Dietary restriction (DR) is one of the most studied interventions known to extend life span. The robustness of its effect across species suggests the existence of conserved mechanisms to reduce mortality rates and increase longevity. However, because DR elicits a large number of physiological changes, many of which are unrelated to the longevity response, it has been difficult to identify these specific mechanisms. Whole-genome gene expression studies have typically reported several hundreds to thousands of differentially expressed genes in response to DR. The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster shows a remarkable response to a change in diet: after a switch to DR, food mortality rates drop within 2-4 days to the same level as cohorts continuously on DR. Based on this observation, we utilized a novel experimental design to enrich for genes directly associated with the longevity response. By profiling gene expression in a cohort of fruit flies that were switched from normal food to DR we were able to partition genes in several classes with distinct patterns of expression.

Project description:Dietary restriction extends the lifespan of numerous, evolutionarily diverse species. In D. melanogaster, a prominent model for research on the interaction between nutrition and longevity, dietary restriction is typically based on medium dilution, with possible compensatory ingestion commonly being neglected. Possible problems with this approach are revealed by using a method for direct monitoring of D. melanogaster feeding behavior. This demonstrates that dietary restriction elicits robust compensatory changes in food consumption. As a result, the effect of medium dilution is overestimated and, in certain cases, even fully compensated for. Our results strongly indicate that feeding behavior and nutritional composition act concertedly to determine fly lifespan. Feeding behavior thus emerges as a central element in D. melanogaster aging.

Project description:Expression data from four different lifespan-extending conditions: dietary restriction in two different genetic backgrounds (canton-s and a yw, w1118 combination), sir2 overexpression and p53 knockdown (+/-). Comparison of significantly over and under-expressed genes reveals a signature for dietary restriction and lifespan extension. Abstract A major challenge in translating the positive effects of dietary restriction (DR) for the improvement of human health is the development of therapeutic mimics. One approach to finding DR mimics is based upon identification of the proximal effectors of DR life span extension. Whole genome profiling of DR in Drosophila shows a large number of changes in gene expression, making it difficult to establish which changes are involved in life span determination as opposed to other unrelated physiological changes. We used comparative whole genome expression profiling to discover genes whose change in expression is shared between DR and two molecular genetic life span extending interventions related to DR, increased dSir2 and decreased Dmp53 activity. We find twenty-one genes shared among the three related life span extending interventions. One of these genes, takeout, thought to be involved in circadian rhythms, feeding behavior and juvenile hormone binding is also increased in four other life span extending conditions: Rpd3, Indy, chico and methuselah. We demonstrate takeout is involved in longevity determination by specifically increasing adult takeout expression and extending life span. These studies demonstrate the power of comparative whole genome transcriptional profiling for identifying specific downstream elements of the DR life span extending pathway.

Based on this observation, we utilized a novel experimental design to enrich for genes directly associated with the longevity response. By profiling gene expression in a cohort of fruit flies that were switched from normal food to DR we were able to partition genes in several classes with distinct patterns of expression. Canton-S flies were kept at 25˚C in a temperature-controlled incubator at 50% humidity with a 12 hour on/off light cycle. The flies were sorted into vials at a density of 25 males and 25 females per vial, randomly divided into treatment groups and passed every day on either Control Food (CF, 150 g/L sucrose, 150 g/L autolysed yeast, and 20 g/L agar, all w/v) or Restricted Food (RF, 50 g/L sucrose, 50 g/L autolysed yeast, and 20 g/L agar, all w/v) and the number of dead flies recorded. On day 40, half of the flies on Control Food were switched to the Restricted Food. During the course of the experiment, age-specific instantaneous mortality rate was analyzed and the separation of mortality rate between the food conditions was verified before the switch. Flies were sorted under light CO2 and collected at fixed time intervals during (0 = time of switch), and after (2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 18, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 72 hours after) the switch time point via snap freezing in liquid nitrogen and were stored at −80°C. Heads and thorax of female flies were collected for microarray experiments.
