Next Generation Sequencing Facilitates Quantitative Analysis of Wild Type animal fed normal and high glucose diets at different age

ABSTRACT: Metabolic diseases are strongly associated with endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Upon ER stress, the unfolded protein response (UPR) is activated to limit cellular damage. However, escalating cellular UPR response weakens with age. Here, we show that 5-day-old Caenorhabditis elegans fed a bacteria diet with 2% glucose (high glucose diet, HGD-5) extend their lifespan while shortening the lifespan of 1-day-old (HGD-1) animals. We observed a metabolic shift in HGD-1 as glucose and fertility synergistically prolonged the lifespan of HGD-5, independently of DAF-16. Notably, we identified that UPR stress sensors ATF-6 and PEK-1 extended the longevity of HGD-5 worms, while the ire-1 ablation drastically increased HGD-1 lifespan. Based on these observations, we postulate that HGD activates the otherwise quiescent UPR in aged worms to overcome ageing-related stress and restore ER homeostasis. In contrast, young animals subjected to HGD provokes unresolved ER stress, conversely leading to a detrimental stress response.

Project description:Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), a chronic lung disease of prematurity, has been linked to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. To investigate a causal role for ER stress in BPD pathogenesis, we generated mice (cGrp78f/f) with lung epithelial cell-specific knockout (KO) of Grp78, a gene encoding the ER chaperone 78-kDa glucose-regulated protein (GRP78), a master regulator of ER homeostasis and the unfolded protein response (UPR). Lung epithelial-specific Grp78 KO disrupted lung morphogenesis, causing developmental arrest, increased alveolar epithelial type II cell apoptosis and decreased surfactant protein and type I cell marker expression in perinatal lungs. cGrp78f/f pups died immediately after birth, likely due to respiratory distress. Importantly, Grp78 KO triggered UPR activation with marked induction of pro-apoptotic transcription factor C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP). Increased expression of genes involved in oxidative stress and cell death and decreased expression of genes encoding antioxidant enzymes suggest a role for oxidative stress in alveolar epithelial cell (AEC) apoptosis. Increased Smad3 phosphorylation and expression of transforming growth factor-Î² (TGF-Î²)/Smad3 targets Cdkn1a (encoding p21) and Gadd45a suggest that interactions among the apoptotic arm of the UPR, oxidative stress and TGF-Î²/Smad signaling pathways contribute to Grp78 KO-induced AEC apoptosis and developmental arrest. Chemical chaperone taursodeoxycholic acid reduced UPR activation and apoptosis in cGrp78f/f lungs cultured ex vivo, confirming a role for ER stress in observed AEC abnormalities. These results demonstrate a key role for GRP78 in AEC survival and gene expression during lung development through modulation of ER stress and suggest the UPR as a potential therapeutic target in BPD. Whole-genome expression profiling was performed using MouseRef-8 v2.0 Expression BeadChips (Illumina) on RNA isolated from lungs of four Grp78f/f and three cGrp78f/f mice at E18.
