Evidence that conserved essential genes are enriched for pro-longevity factors

ABSTRACT: At the cellular level, many aspects of aging are conserved across species. This has been demonstrated by numerous studies in simple model organisms like Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Caenorhabdits elegans, and Drosophila melanogaster. Because most genetic screens examine loss of function mutations or decreased expression of genes through reverse genetics, essential genes have often been overlooked as potential modulators of the aging process. By taking the approach of increasing the expression level of a subset of conserved essential genes, we found that 21% of these genes resulted in increased replicative lifespan in S. cerevisiae. This is greater than the ~3.5% of genes found to affect lifespan upon deletion, suggesting that activation of essential genes may have a relatively disproportionate effect on increasing lifespan. The results of our experiments demonstrate that essential gene overexpression is a rich, relatively unexplored means of increasing eukaryotic lifespan.

H3K36 methylation promotes longevity by enhancing transcriptional fidelity [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Epigenetic mechanisms including histone post-translational modifications control longevity in diverse organisms. Relatedly, loss of proper transcriptional regulation on a global scale is an emerging aspect of shortened lifespan, but the specific mechanisms linking these observations remain to be uncovered. Here, we describe a lifespan screen in S. cerevisiae, designed to identify altered amino acid residues of histones that alter yeast replicative aging. Our results reveal that lack of sustained H3K36 methylation is commensurate with increased cryptic transcription in a set of genes in old cells and shorter lifespan. Deletion of the K36me2/3 demethylase Rph1 increases H3K36me3 within these genes and suppresses cryptic transcript initiation to extend lifespan. We show that this aging phenomenon is conserved, as cryptic transcription also increases in old worms. We propose that epigenetic misregulation in aging cells leads to an increase in transcriptional noise that is detrimental to lifespan, and, importantly, this acceleration in aging can be reversed by restoring transcriptional fidelity.

Deficiency of the RNA-binding protein Cth2 extends yeast replicative lifespan by alleviating its repressive effects on mitochondrial function

Project description:Iron dyshomeostasis contributes to aging, but little information is available about the molecular mechanisms. Here, we provide evidence that, in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, aging is associated with altered expression of genes involved in iron homeostasis. We further demonstrate that defects in the conserved mRNA-binding protein Cth2, which controls stability and translation of mRNAs encoding iron-containing proteins, increase lifespan by alleviating its repressive effects on mitochondrial function. Mutation of the conserved cysteine residue in Cth2 that inhibits its RNA-binding activity is sufficient to confer longevity, whereas Cth2 gain-of-function shortens replicative lifespan. Consistent with its function in RNA degradation, we demonstrate that Cth2 deficiency relieves Cth2-mediated post-transcriptional repression of nuclear-encoded components of the electron transport chain. Our findings uncover a major role of the RNA-binding protein Cth2 in the regulation of lifespan and suggest that modulation of iron starvation signaling can serve as a target for potential aging interventions.

Deep sequencing of small RNAs from C. elegans during aging

Project description:Aging is under genetic control in C. elegans but the mechanisms of lifespan regulation are not completely known. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate various aspects of development and metabolism and one miRNA has been previously implicated in lifespan. Here we show that multiple miRNAs change expression in C. elegans aging, including novel miRNAs, and that mutations in several of the most up-regulated miRNAs lead to lifespan defects. Some act to promote normal lifespan and stress resistance while others inhibit these phenomena. We find that these miRNAs genetically interact with genes in the DNA damage checkpoint response pathway and in the insulin signaling pathway. Our findings reveal that miRNAs both positively and negatively influence lifespan. Since several miRNAs up-regulated during aging regulate genes in conserved pathways of aging and thereby influence lifespan in C. elegans, we propose that miRNAs may play important roles in stress response and aging of more complex organisms. 4 sample examined: Wild-type (N2) and long-lived daf-2(e1379) animals at days 0 and 10 of adulthood

Quantitative proteome for C.elegans by 3plex mTRAQ

Project description:Vesicle-mediated transport is a fundamental part of the secretory and endocytic pathways. In addition to their role in membrane protein trafficking, Arf-like protein subfamily of small GTPases also plays an important role in development, maintenance of Golgi structure and function. Proper protein trafficking is critical for cellular integrity and studies demonstrate that aberrant protein sorting leads to various diseases in many organisms including humans. However, to date, there is no report showing the role of Golgi apparatus and Golgi proteins in organismal longevity. Organisms dynamically reprogram their transcriptome and proteome as a response to internal and external changes, which alter physiological processes including aging. Compared to many transcriptomic studies that identified aging-regulatory genes, proteomic studies that identified aging-regulatory proteins are relatively scarce. By using a quantitative proteomic approach, we identified MON-2, an Arf-Gef protein implicated in Golgi-to-endosome trafficking, as a longevity-promoting protein. We found that MON-2 is essential for the long lifespan of various longevity mutants. Our results demonstrate that Golgi-to-endosome trafficking is an integral part of lifespan regulation.

mouse stem cell SWATH-MS

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

Growth control of the eukaryote cell: a systems biology study in yeast

Project description:Metabolic control analysis is being exploited in a systems biology study of the eukaryotic cell. Using chemostat culture, we have measured the impact of changes in flux (growth rate) on the transcriptome, proteome, endometabolome and exometabolome of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Each functional genomic level shows clear growth-rate-associated trends and discriminates between carbon-sufficient and carbon-limited conditions. Genes consistently and significantly upregulated with increasing growth rate are frequently essential and encode evolutionarily conserved proteins of known function that participate in many protein-protein interactions. In contrast, more unknown, and fewer essential, genes are downregulated with increasing growth rate; their protein products rarely interact with one another. A large proportion of yeast genes under positive growth-rate control share orthologs with other eukaryotes, including humans. Significantly, transcription of genes encoding components of the TOR complex (a major controller of eukaryotic cell growth) is not subject to growth-rate regulation. Moreover, integrative studies reveal the extent and importance of post-transcriptional control, patterns of control of metabolic fluxes at the level of enzyme synthesis, and the relevance of specific enzymatic reactions in the control of metabolic fluxes during cell growth.
