Negative effect of gst-35 on the health span of Caenorhabditis elegans through lysosomal dysfunction via the pmk-1 and skr genes

ABSTRACT: As global life expectancy continues to increase, shifting our focus from solely extending lifespans to actively pursuing healthy ageing is crucial. GSTA1-3 members of the alpha class of glutathione S-transferase are involved in diverse biological processes, including metabolism and immune regulation, indicating their influence on human health and lifespan. We used Caenorhabditis elegans as a model organism to examine the impact of gst-35, an orthologous gene of mammalian GSTA1, GSTA2, and GSTA3, on healthy ageing. Our findings indicated that gst-35 overexpression had deleterious effects on various physiological aspects of nematodes. The overexpression specifically caused a significant reduction in nematode lifespan, inhibited nematode development and growth, and substantially diminished reproduction, physical fitness, and stress resistance. Conversely, gst-35 knockout in nematodes showed a partial improvement in physical fitness and stress resistance. Comprehensive RNA-sequencing transcriptome analysis revealed that gst-35 overexpression perturbed metabolic homeostasis. Additionally, gst-35 overexpression induceds lysosomal dysfunction via pmk-1 and skr, affecting the process of healthy ageing. These findings unravel the intricate role of gst-35 in the ageing process, contributing to the expanding knowledge in the field of healthy ageing research.

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) modulates lifespan of C.elegans

Project description:Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is formed naturally from L-cysteine in a variety of mammalian and non-mammalian cells. To date, numerous biological effects have been ascribed to H2S including control of cardiovascular, immune and nervous function. Over or under production of H2S has been observed in several disease states including hypertension and inflammation. In addition, it has been stipulated that H2S may affect the ageing process. The model nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is ideally suited for assessing drug effects on lifespan since it is relatively short-lived, can be easily exposed to drugs and its genome is fully sequenced and widely annotated. The global transcriptome of control nematodes (raised using standardized laboratory conditions) was compared to nematodes exposed to 100 uM GYY4137 (morpholin-4-ium 4 methoxyphenyl(morpholino) phosphinodithioate), a slow releasing H2S donor drug.

Transcriptomics of C. chinensis and E. ulmoides treated aged C. elegans

Project description:The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans was treated with extracts of the Traditional Chinese Medicine plants Cuscuta chinensis and Eucommia ulmoides from the L4 stage. In aged worms (on the 7th and 12th day of adulthood) different health parameters were determined. Besides the prolongation of lifespan, we found that C. chinensis improved the swimming behavior, pharyngeal pumping rate, stress resistance, mechanosensation and memory of aged C. elegans. Furthermore, the extract treatment reduced the autofluorescence, which is a known biomarker of ageing. Thus, we concluded that C. chinensis is an overall healthspan enhancer. In contrast, the E. ulmoides extract specifically enhanced the lifespan and stress resistance of aged C. elegans, but did not improve any other health aspect. To reveal the mechanism behind the healthspan enhancing effects of C. chinensis, the transcriptome of treated and untreated C. elegans on the 12th day of adulthood was analysed. For comparison purposes, E. ulmoides treated nematodes were included in the analysis.

Identification of aal1 long non-coding RNA physically interacting proteins

Project description:Genomes pervasively produce long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) of largely unknown functions. Some of these lncRNAs have been implicated in roles related to ageing and associated diseases. Here we characterize aal1 (ageing-associated lncRNA 1) which is induced in non-dividing, ageing cells of fission yeast. Deletion of aal1 shortens the chronological lifespan of non-dividing cells, while ectopic overexpression of aal1 from a plasmid prolongs their lifespan, indicating that this lncRNA acts in trans. We find that aal1 genetically interacts with coding genes functioning in processes related to protein translation, and aal1 overexpression leads to repression of ribosomal protein genes and inhibition of cell growth. The aal1 RNA localizes to the cytoplasm and associates with ribosomes. Notably, aal1 deletion or overexpression is sufficient to increase or decrease the cellular ribosome content, respectively. We identify the mRNA rpl1901, encoding a ribosomal protein, as a binding target of aal1. The expression of rpl1901 is moderately repressed by aal1, and such moderate repression is critical and sufficient to extend the chronological lifespan. Remarkably, expression of the yeast aal1 lncRNA in the fly gut triggers a significant extension of the lifespan in flies. Based on these findings, we propose that the aal1 RNA can reduce the ribosome content by decreasing the levels of the Rpl1901 ribosomal protein, thus attenuating protein translation and promoting longevity. Although the aal1 lncRNA itself is not conserved, its effects in the fly raise the possibility that other organisms feature related mechanisms involving conserved ribosome-associated processes to control ageing.

Loss of miR-83 extends lifespan and affects target gene expression in an age-dependent manner in Caenorhabditis elegans

Project description:We have identified a role of the C. elegans miR-83 in regulating lifespan. mir-83 mutants exhibit an extended lifespan, and its overexpression is sufficient to decrease the prolonged lifespan of the mutants. We observed an upregulation in the expression of sets of miR-83 targets in young mir-83 mutant adults. However, in older mir-83 mutant adults, a different set of genes are upregulated. In vivo assays show that miR-83 regulates expression of a number of targets, including din-1, spp-9 and col-178. We show that daf-16 and din-1 are required for the lifespan extension of mir-83 mutants. The regulation of din-1 by miR-83 during aging results in the differential expression of din-1 targets, such as gst-4 and gst-10. In daf-2 mutants, the expression levels of miR-83 are significantly reduced, as compared to wildtype animals. Our results identify a role of miR-83 in modulating lifespan in C. elegans, and provide molecular insights into its functional mechanism.

Circadian expression data from epidermal stem cells from young and aged mice

Project description:Circadian adaptation is thought to have maximized organismal fitness by anticipating and synchronizing physiological functions to the day-night oscillations imposed by the rotation of the earth. The function of mammalian adult stem cells is under tight circadian control, and conditional deletion of the core clock component Bmal1 in murine tissues results in their premature ageing. In addition, complete Bmal1 and Clock knockout mice show a significantly shortened lifespan. However, it is not clear to what extent circadian disruption is causative of ageing. Moreover, if and how circadian oscillations are altered during physiological ageing in adult stem cells is not known.

Identification of miR-305, a microRNA that promotes ageing, and its target mRNAs in Drosophila

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in the regulation of important biological processes. Here, we describe a novel Drosophila miRNAs involved in ageing. We selected eight Drosophila miRNAs, displaying high homology with seed sequences of ageing-related miRNAs characterized in other species, and investigated whether the overexpression of these miRNAs affected ageing in Drosophila adult flies. The lifespan of adults overexpressing miR-305, a miRNA showing high homology with miR-239 in C. elegans, was significantly shorter. Conversely, a reduction in miR-305 expression led to a longer lifespan than that in control flies. miR-305 overexpression accelerated the impairment of locomotor activity, and promoted the age-dependent accumulation of poly-ubiquitinated protein aggregates in the muscle, as flies aged. Thus, we demonstrate that the ectopic expression of miR-305 has a deleterious effect on ageing in Drosophila. To identify the targets of miR-305, we performed RNA-Seq. We discovered several mRNAs encoding antimicrobial peptides and insulin-like peptides, whose expression changed in adults upon miR-305 overexpression. We further confirmed, by qRT-PCR, that miR-305 overexpression significantly decreases the mRNA levels of four antimicrobial peptides. As these mRNAs contain multiple sequences matching the seed sequence of miR-305, we speculate that a reduction in target mRNA levels, caused by ectopic miRNA expression, promotes ageing.

Genome-wide shifts in histone modification patterns at early stage of rice infection with root-knot nematode Meloidogyne graminicola

Project description:There is mounting evidence for the role of epigenetic processes in the regulation of plant responses to a wide range of external stimuli. Despite their importance, the significance of epigenetic processes in plant-pathogen interactions remain poorly understood. So far, the role of histone modifications has not been investigated at genome wide level in plant-nematode interactions, although their expression levels are altered in nematode-induced galls. In this study, we first applied chemical inhibitors of histone modifying enzymes on rice plants. Despite theirdistinct effects on histone modifications, application of different concentrations of Niconinamide, sulfamethazine and fumaric acid lead to reduced susceptibility to nematode infection. Similarly, two overexpression lines of histone lysine methyltransferases and one histone deacetylase were analyzed in an infection assay with nematodes, showing contrasting results in susceptibility. These data indicate that histone modifications can affect plant defence against nematodes in rice. To further investigate their effect, the genome-wide level of three histone marks namely H3K9ac, H3K9me2 and H3K27me3 was studied by chromatin-immunoprecipitation (ChIP)-sequencing on nematode-induced galls in comparison with control root tips.
