Ginkgolide B increase healthspan and lifespan of female mice

ABSTRACT: Various anti-aging interventions exhibit potential in extending lifespan, yet most of these interventions are inefficacy or even have deleterious effects on healthspan. Ginkgolide B (GB) is a Ginkgo biloba-derived small molecule that reduces aging-related morbidities; however, the effects of GB on healthspan and longevity remain elusive. Here, we report that continuous oral GB administration in mice starting at 20 months extended their lifespan by 20% and reduced tumour incidence. Besides, GB administration significantly improved healthspan evidenced by enhancement in muscle quality, physical performance, grip strength, metabolism, frailty index, systemic inflammation, and senescence. Moreover, GB administration ameliorated aging-related pathologies without any apparent adverse effects. Single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) revealed that GB improved aging-associated abnormal cell-type composition, intracellular signalling pathways, and cell-cell communication in skeletal muscles. GB also reduced the levels of aging-induced novel Runx1+ type 2B myonuclei, which are associated with apoptotic burden and aging-related signatures. Runx1 derived senescence, as shown by gain- and loss-of-function assays. Together, a new function of GB in extending the healthspan in aging is identified, which contributes to lifespan extension. The senomorphic effects of GB on the multifactorial aging process may provide new prospects for achieving healthy aging and longevity extension.

Project description:One of the most important issues in the study of aging is to discover compounds with longevity-promoting activity and to unravel their underlying mechanisms. Queen honey bees are continuously fed royal jelly (RJ), and they live more than 10 times longer than hive workers, derived from the same diploid genome, which are fed it only for a short period of time during their larval stages. Therefore, RJ is likely to contain longevity-promoting agents for queens. RJ has been reported to possess diverse pharmacological properties. Furthermore, protease-treated RJ (pRJ) has additional beneficial activities. How RJ and pRJ exert these effects and which components in them play a critical role is largely unknown. The evolutionally conserved mechanisms that control lifespan have been indicated. The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has been widely used for study of aging and longevity, due to its relatively short lifespan and well-established genetic pathways. The purpose of the present study was to elucidate whether RJ and its related substances contain the life span-extending activity in C. elegans and to obtain some insight into the active agents and their mechanisms. We found that both RJ and pRJ extended the lifespan of C. elegans. The life span-extending activity of pRJ was enriched by ODS column chromatography (pRJ-Fraction 5). pRJ-Fr. 5 extended the life span partly by acting through the FOXO transcription factor DAF-16, the activation of which is known to promote longevity in C. elegans by reducing insulin/IGF-1 signaling (IIS). pRJ-Fr. 5 induced changes in the expression of 3 genes encoding insulin-like peptides. Moreover, pRJ-Fr. 5 and reduced IIS shared some common features in terms of their effect on gene expression, such as up-regulation of dod-3 and down-regulation of dod-19, dao-4 and fkb-4. The dod-19 is a previously identified life span determinant in C. elegans, and the fkb-4 encodes a homologue of the mammalian FK506-binding protein. 10-Hydroxy-2-decenoic acid (10-HDA), which was present in high concentration in pRJ-Fr. 5, increased the lifespan independently of DAF-16 activity.These results demonstrate that RJ and its related substances extended the life span in C. elegans, suggesting that RJ may contain longevity-promoting factors common to diverse species across phyla. pRJ-Fr. 5 had higher life span-extending activity than either RJ or pRJ and extended the life span in part through the IIS-DAF-16 pathway. We provide the first evidence that 10-HDA, a defined natural product in RJ, extended organismal lifespan. It is noteworthy that 10-HDA performed its lifespan-extending function through a mechanism totally different from the IIS-DAF-16 pathway. Further search and characterization of the lifespan-extending agents in RJ and pRJ may broaden our understanding of the gene network of longevity regulation in diverse species and provide the possibility for nutraceutical interventions in the aging process. C. elegans N2 hermaphrodites were untreated or treated with pRJ-Fr. 5 (25mg/ml) for 24 h starting at the larval 4 (L4) stage.
