ChIPseq examination of EAP-1 binding across generations of spr-5(by101) mutant worms

ABSTRACT: How epigenetic information is transmitted from generation to generation remains largely unknown. Deletion of the C. elegans Histone H3 lysine 4 dimethyl (H3K4me2) demethylase spr-5 leads to inherited accumulation of the euchromatic H3K4me2 mark and progressive decline in fertility. Here we identified a genetic network of chromatin-modifying factors, including the H3K4me1/me2 methyltransferases SET-17 and SET-30, the H3K9me1/me2 methyltransferase MET-2, an H3K9me3 methyltransferase, SET-26, the H3K9me3 demethylase JMJD-2, and an H3K9me reader EAP-1, which regulate the trans-generational flow of epigenetic information. Importantly, genetic ablation of set-17, set-30, jmjd-2, or eap-1 suppresses the progressive transgenerational phenotypes, while loss of SET-26 or MET-2 accelerates the infertility of spr-5 mutant worms. We further show that loss of spr-5 also causes a trans-generational increase in lifespan, which is dependent on these chromatin regulators as well as DAF-36 and DAF-12, which control a germline to soma longevity signaling pathway. These findings suggest that the balance between the euchromatic H3K4 and the heterochromatic H3K9 methylation regulates trans-generational effects on longevity and fertility.

These findings suggest that the balance between the euchromatic H3K4 and the heterochromatic H3K9 methylation regulates trans-generational effects on longevity and fertility. EAP-1 binding ChIPseq libraries were prepared from 50 ul of packed young adult worms which were maintained at 16 degrees until the appropriate generation and then shifted to 25 degrees after birth. Two biological repeats were generated for wildtype and generation 20 spr-5(by101) mutant worms and a single repeat for generation 10. There were four input samples and eap-1 null mutant worms were also analyzed.

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.

Identification of DAF-16/FoxO targets associated with longevity

Project description:FoxO transcription factors can promote longevity in invertebrates and mammals. In C.elegans, the FoxO family member DAF-16 is required for lifespan extension in the contexts of daf-2/IGFR mutation and germline ablation. The daf-16 genomic locus encodes three distinct groups of transcripts (a,b, and d/f/h). In animals with reduced insulin signaling or ablated germlines, mutations that reduce daf-16a and d/f/h levels without affecting daf-16b reduce lifespan to the same extent as daf-16 null mutations. We reasoned that identifying a set of targets of the daf-16a and d/f/h isoforms that are differentially regulated in two contexts of reduced insulin signaling and in germline ablated animals would enrich for the daf-16 transcriptional targets that are required for longevity. We identified targets that were differentially regulated in daf-2(e1368) and daf-2(e1370) mutants relative to wild-type, and differentially regulated in the opposite direction from WT in compound mutants with both daf-16(mg54), which eliminates the a and d/f/h isoforms, and daf-16(mu86) which is a predicted null allele. We performed a similar analysis in glp-1(e2141) germline ablated animals (omitting the wild-type comparison). We then identified daf-16 targets associated with longevity (dal genes) which were found in all three sets of comparisons.

daf-16/FoxO isoform-specific deletion mutants

Project description:FoxO transcription factors promote longevity across taxa. How they do so is poorly understood. In the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, the A- and F-isoforms of the FoxO transcription factor DAF-16 extend life span in the context of reduced DAF-2 insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGFR) signaling. To elucidate the mechanistic basis for DAF-16/FoxO-dependent life span extension, we performed an integrative analysis of isoform-specific daf-16/FoxO mutants. In contrast to previous studies suggesting that DAF-16F plays a more prominent role in life span control than DAF-16A, isoform-specific daf-16/FoxO mutant phenotypes and whole transcriptome profiling revealed a predominant role for DAF-16A over DAF-16F in life span control, stress resistance, and target gene regulation. Integration of these data sets enabled the prioritization of a subset of 92 DAF-16/FoxO target genes for functional interrogation. Among 29 genes tested, two DAF-16A-specific target genes significantly influenced longevity. Our discovery of new longevity genes underscores the efficacy of our integrative strategy while providing a general framework for identifying specific downstream gene regulatory events that contribute substantially to transcription factor functions. As FoxO transcription factors have conserved functions in promoting longevity and may be dysregulated in aging-related diseases, these findings promise to illuminate fundamental principles underlying aging in animals. Whole-transcriptome profiling of daf-16/FoxO isoform-specific deletion mutants in the long-lived daf-2(e1370) background. Included are daf-16 wild-type, daf-16 null mutation, daf-16a/f mutation, two independent daf-16a mutations, and daf-16f mutation. N2 wild-type controls are also included.

A C. elegans LSD1 Demethylase Contributes to Germline Immortality by Reprogramming Epigenetic Memory

Project description:Microarray-based expression profiling of mixed stage populations taken from generation 1,13 and 26 spr-5 mutant animals as well as wild-type animals reveals a large class of spermatogenesis-expressed genes whose expression coordinately increased from generations 1 to 13 and then decreased from generations 13 to 26 in spr-5(by101) mutants. These results suggest that a failure to reset spermatogenesis acquired H3K4me2 may result in the progressive sterility that is observed in spr-5 mutants. 8ug of total RNA was hybridized pair-wise, along with a dye flip, from N2 (wild-type) f1 and spr-5(by101) mutant f1, f13 and f26, for a total of 12 arrays. RNA was labelled with the Genisphere Array350 system.
