Parenchymal damage and myeloid inflammation link the Rag GTPase – mTORC1 axis to mammalian aging [old]

ABSTRACT: The mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) controls cellular anabolism in response to nutrient sufficiency and growth factor signaling, and genetic and pharmacological inhibition of mTORC1 extends longevity across eukaryotes. Up to date, mouse models to analyze the mechanisms of aging governed by mTORC1 has been limited by detrimental pleiotropic consequences of genetically-increased mTORC1 activity in mice. RragcS74N/+, RragcS74C/+ and RragcT89N/+ knock-in mice endogenously express active mutant variants of RagC, a GTPase that signaling nutrient sufficiency to mTORC1. Rragcmutant/+ mice show an only moderate increase in nutrient signaling to mTORC1, and after one year of life exhibit multiple features of a premature aging phenotype that include prominent senescence in peripheral organs, parenchymal expression of inflammatory and chemo-attractant molecules, increased myeloid inflammation and extensive features of inflammaging. In vivo transplantation and ex vivo functional experiments with bone marrow-derived cells show that myeloid cells are abnormally activated by parenchymal signals evoked from Rragcmut/+ organs, to where myeloid cells extravasate to inflict additional inflammatory damage. Therapeutic suppression of myeloid inflammation in old Rragcmut/+ attenuates features of premature aging and extends longevity. We provide the first genetic link of elevated nutrient – mTORC1 activity and premature aging in mammals, and provide support for a two-component model in which increased nutrient signaling drives parenchymal damage and myeloid inflammation precipitates organ deterioration and accelerated aging.

Neuronal mTORC1 inhibition promotes longevity without suppressing anabolic growth and reproduction in C. elegans

Project description:mTORC1 (mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1) is a metabolic sensor that promotes growth when nutrients are abundant. Ubiquitous inhibition of mTORC1 extends lifespan in multiple organisms but also disrupts several anabolic processes resulting in stunted growth, slowed development, reduced fertility, and disrupted metabolism. However, it is unclear if these pleotropic effects of mTORC1 inhibition can be uncoupled from longevity. Here, we utilize the auxin-inducible degradation (AID) system to restrict mTORC1 inhibition to C. elegans neurons. We find that neuron-specific degradation of RAGA-1, an upstream activator of mTORC1, or LET-363, the ortholog of mammalian mTOR, is sufficient to extend lifespan in C. elegans. Unlike raga-1 loss of function genetic mutations or somatic AID of RAGA-1, neuronal AID of RAGA-1 robustly extends lifespan without impairing body size, developmental rate, brood size or neuronal function. Moreover, while somatic degradation of RAGA-1 alters the expression of thousands of genes, demonstrating the widespread effects of mTORC1 inhibition, neuronal degradation of RAGA-1 only results in around 200 differentially expressed genes with a specific enrichment in metabolism and stress response. Notably, our work demonstrates that targeting mTORC1 specifically in the nervous system in C. elegans uncouples longevity from growth and reproductive impairments, and that many canonical effects of low mTORC1 activity are not required to promote healthy aging. These data challenge previously held ideas about the mechanisms of mTORC1 lifespan extension and underscore the potential of promoting longevity by neuron-specific mTORC1 modulation.

Accumulating mitochondrial DNA mutations drive premature hematopoietic aging phenotypes molecularly distinct from physiologic stem cell aging

Project description:Somatic stem cells mediate tissue maintenance for the lifetime of an organism. Despite the well-established longevity that is a prerequisite for such function, accumulating data argue for compromised stem cell function with age. Identifying the mechanisms underlying age-dependent stem cell dysfunction is therefore key to understand the aging process. Using a model that carries a proofreading defective mitochondrial DNA polymerase, we demonstrate hematopoietic defects reminiscent of premature HSC aging including anemia, lymphopenia and myeloid lineage skewing. However, in contrast to physiologic stem cell aging, rapidly accumulating mitochondrial DNA mutations displayed little involvement of the hematopoietic stem cell pool but rather with distinct differentiation blocks and/or disappearance of downstream progenitors. Hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) has been sorted out from midaged wildtype and mutator mice and compared with stem cells sorted from young and and old wt mice

Homeodomain-interacting protein kinase maintains neuronal homeostasis during normal Caenorhabditis elegans aging and systemically regulates longevity from serotonergic and GABAergic neurons

Project description:Aging and the age-associated decline of the proteome is determined in part through neuronal control of evolutionarily conserved transcriptional effectors, which safeguard homeostasis under fluctuating metabolic and stress conditions by regulating an expansive proteostatic network. We have discovered the Caenorhabditis elegans homeodomain-interacting protein kinase (HPK-1) acts as a key transcriptional effector to preserve neuronal integrity, function, and proteostasis during aging. Loss of hpk-1 results in drastic dysregulation in expression of neuronal genes, including premature upregulation of genes associated with neuronal aging. During normal aging hpk-1 expression increases throughout the nervous system and in more cell-clusters than any other kinase. Within the aging nervous system, hpk-1 is co-expressed with key longevity transcription factors, including daf-16 (FOXO), hlh-30 (TFEB), skn-1 (Nrf2), and hif-1, which suggests hpk-1 expression mitigates natural age-associated physiological decline. Consistently, pan-neuronal overexpression of hpk-1 extends longevity, preserves proteostasis both within and outside of the nervous system, and improves stress resistance. Neuronal HPK-1 improves proteostasis through kinase activity. HPK-1 functions cell non-autonomously within serotonergic and GABAergic neurons to improve proteostasis in distal tissues by specifically regulating divergent components of the proteostatic network. Increased serotonergic HPK-1 enhances the heat shock response and survival to acute stress. In contrast, GABAergic HPK-1 induces basal autophagy and extends longevity. Our work establishes hpk-1 as a key neuronal transcriptional regulator that is critical for the preservation of neuronal function during aging and insight as to how the nervous system partitions acute and chronic adaptive response pathways to delay aging by maintaining organismal homeostasis.

Calorie restriction governs intestinal epithelial regeneration through cell autonomous regulation of mTORC1 in reserve stem cells

Project description:Here, we show that CR enhances regenerative capacity of the intestinal epithelium as a result of increased number of reserve ISCs. We observe that precise regulation of mechanistic target of Rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) signaling plays a significant role in regulation of sensitivity of reserve intestinal stem cells to injury and that premature activation of mTORC1 signaling through nutrient modulation, at the time of damage, leads to poor regeneration outcome. These data delineate a critical role for mTORC1 signaling in epithelial regeneration and inform clinical strategies based on nutrient modulation of mTORC1 activity.

H3K4me2 regulates the recovery of protein biosynthesis and homeostasis from UV-induced DNA damage during development and aging

Project description:DNA damage causes cancer, impairs development and accelerates aging. UV irradiation induces transcription-blocking lesions and defects in transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair lead to developmental failure and premature aging in humans. Following DNA repair, the homeostatic processes need to be reestablished to ensure development and maintain tissue functionality. Here, we report that in C. elegans removal of the MLL/COMPASS H3K4 methyltransferase exacerbates the developmental growth retardation and accelerates aging, while depletion of the H3K4 demethylase, SPR-5, promotes developmental growth and extends lifespan amid UV-induced damage. We demonstrate that specifically the DDR-induced H3K4me2 is associated with the activation of genes regulating RNA transport, splicing, ribosome biogenesis, and protein homeostasis and regulates the recovery of protein biosynthesis that is essential for survival of UV-induced DNA damage. Our study uncovers a role of H3K4me2 in coordinating the recovery of protein biosynthesis and homeostasis that is required for developmental growth and longevity after DNA damage.

Gene expression profiling in RagC T89N germinal center B cells and RagC S74C murine B220+ lymphoma cells

Project description:Gene expression by RNAseq in murine germinal centers induced by SRBC in RagC T89N mice (YRT codes) and RNAseq in murine B220+ from VavVPBcl2/RagC S74C and VavVPBcl2/RagC +/+ lymphomas Follicular Lymphoma (FL) is an incurable B cell malignancy derived from germinal center (GC) B cells. The RRAGC gene, encoding a GTPase that links cellular nutrient sufficiency with the activation of mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) is mutated in 15% of FL patients, but its impact in B cell functions and lymphomas is unexplored. Endogenous expression of Rragc mutant variants in B lymphocytes from novel knock-in strains of mice resulted in a partial insensitivity of mTORC1 to nutrient deprivation. A mild, but not a full-blown activation of the nutrient signaling pathway enhanced B cell activation and the GC response, suppressed apoptosis, and accelerated lymphomagenesis. Moreover, murine RRAGC mutant FL showed selective vulnerability to pharmacological inhibition of mTORC1. This moderate increase in nutrient signaling synergized with paracrine cues from the supportive T cell microenvironment that activate mTORC1 via the PI3K-Akt axis to promote B cell activation. Hence, RRAGC mutations sustained experimental GCs and murine and human FL in the presence of decreased T cell support. Moreover, mutations in RRAGC in human FLs are mutually-exclusive with mutations that result in increased abundance of T helper cells, consistent with functional redundancy between those pathways. Taken together, our results support a model in which activating mutations in the nutrient signaling pathway foster lymphomagenesis by corrupting a nutrient-dependent control of mTORC1-activating paracrine signals from the T cell microenvironment
