Project description:We have shown that worms that possess mutations in two electron transport chain subunits live longer due to mtROS signalling. Wild type worms can also live longer by treatment with the pro-oxidant paraquat. Paraquat treatment is not additive to the mutations in the ETC subunits. We aimed to determine the underlying changes in gene expression that were common to both paraquat treatment and the two mutations. We also have shown genetically that the mtROS signal that leads to extended lifespan is dependent on CED-4. We generated double mutants that lack functional CED-4 with the two mutations in the ETC subunits. We have found that a large number of gene expression changes by mtROS signalling are reverted by loss of CED-4. Young adult C. elegans were grown using a 4-hour synchronized lay and harvested by hand picking. At least three biological repeats were obtained for each condition. Worm RNA was extracted and prepared for hybridization to Affymetrix chips. We compared the gene expression patterns of genetic mutants and the wild type treated with paraquat all against a wild type control. We sought to obtain a common pattern of expression between two genetic mutants, isp-1 and nuo-6, and paraquat treatment.

Project description:Small molecule inhibitors of mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) hold significant promise in the field of mitochondrial research and aging biology. In this study, we studied two molecules: mycothiazole (MTZ) - isolated from the marine sponge P. mycofijiensis and its semisynthetic acetylated derivative 8-O-acetylmycothiazole (8-OAc) as efficient alternatives for their high efficiency to inhibit ETC complex I function. Similar to rotenone, a widely used complex I inhibitor, these two compounds showed anticancer activity and strikingly demonstrate a lack of toxicity to non-cancer cells, a highly beneficial feature in the development of anti-cancer therapeutics. Furthermore, experiments with these small molecules in vivo utilizing C.elegans demonstrate their additional utilization to aging studies. We observed that both molecules have the ability to induce a mitochondria-specific unfolded protein response (UPRMT) pathway, which extends lifespan of worms when applied in their adult stage. Interestingly, we also found that these two molecules employ different pathways to extend lifespan in worms, where MTZ utilize the transcription factors, ATFS-1 and HSF-1, which are involved in the UPRMT and heat shock response (HSR) pathways, respectively. In opposition,8-OAc only required HSF-1 and not ATFS-1. This observation elucidates an important insight into the functional roles of various protein subunits of ETC complexes and their regulatory mechanisms associated with aging.

Project description:The mitochondrial ATP synthase produces ATP by oxidative phosphorylation and integrates different signals to regulate cellular functions and fate. The ATPase inhibitory factor 1 (IF1) is a structurally-disordered protein that inhibits the ATP synthase, contributing to metabolic reprogramming and signalling through mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS). mtROS regulate kinases and transcription factors in mitohormetic responses that favour adaptation to toxic insults2. IF1 is tissue-specifically expressed and in human and mouse brain is in molar excess over the ATP synthase. Herein, we have used genetic approaches to ablate or overexpress IF1 in neurons to investigate its role in brain functions. IF1 inhibits a fraction of the ATP synthase under physiological conditions and regulates respiration, mtROS production and mitochondrial structure. Transcriptomic, proteomic and metabolomic analyses indicate that IF1 regulates synaptic transmission and cognition. Ablation of IF1 impairs short-term memory whereas IF1 overexpression increases basal synaptic transmission and learning by mtROS-dependent activation of the extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1/2 (ERK 1/2). Overall, we show that IF1 dose plays a fundamental role in the regulation of neuronal function by controlling the fraction of inhibited ATP synthase that acts as source of mitohormetic mtROS, further emphasizing the ATP synthase/IF1 as promising targets to treat cognitive disorders.

Project description:The pathogenesis of celiac disease (CeD) remains incompletely understood. Traditional diagnostic techniques for CeD include serological testing and endoscopic examination; however, they have limitations. Therefore, there is a need to identify novel noninvasive biomarkers for CeD diagnosis. We analyzed duodenal and plasma samples from CeD patients by four-dimensional data-dependent acquisition (4D-DIA) proteomics. Differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were identified for functional analysis and to propose blood biomarkers associated with CeD diagnosis. In duodenal and plasma samples, respectively, 897 and 140 DEPs were identified. Combining weighted gene co-expression network analysis(WGCNA) with the DEPs, five key proteins were identified across three machine learning methods. FGL2 and TXNDC5 were significantly elevated in the CeD group, while CHGA expression showed an increasing trend, but without statistical significance. The receiver operating characteristic curve results indicated an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.7711 for FGL2 and 0.6978 for TXNDC5, with a combined AUC of 0.8944. Exploratory analysis using Mfuzz and three machine learning methods identified four plasma proteins potentially associated with CeD pathological grading (Marsh classification): FABP, CPOX, BHMT, and PPP2CB. We conclude that FGL2 and TXNDC5 deserve exploration as potential sensitive, noninvasive diagnostic biomarkers for CeD.

Project description:sample collection protocol:We used FACS to separate the E14.5 neocortical cells into high mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS) and low mitochondrial ROS cell populations and compared their expression profiles. Transition of progenitors through progressive stages of differentiation probably involves dynamic changes in mtROS levels, depending on the needs of the cell. We found that the progenitors had higher levels of mtROS, but these levels significantly decreased with differentiation.

Project description:Celiac disease (CeD) is an intestinal immune-mediated disorder caused by gluten ingestion in genetically predisposed subjects. CeD is characterized by villous atrophy, altered intestinal permeability, crypt hyperplasia and innate and adaptive immune response. This study aimed to develop and validate the use of intestinal organoids from celiac patients to study CeD. A repository of organoids from duodenum of non-celiac and celiac patients was generated and characterized accordingly to standard procedures. RNA-seq analysis was employed to study the global gene expression program of CeD (n=3) and non-CeD (n=3) organoids sets. While the three celiac derived organoids shared similar transcriptional signatures the NC samples set appeared more heterogeneous. We found 486 genes differentially expressed between the two groups. Of them, 299 genes were downregulated (FC<2; FDR<0.05) and 187 were upregulated in CeD (FC >2; FDR<0.05). We observed CeD organoids had significantly altered expression of genes associated with barrier function, innate immunity, and stem cell function.

Project description:Environmental factors such as temperature can modulate animal’s lifespan. However, the underlying mechanisms remain largely undefined. Through proteomic analysis of C. elegans at different time points (young adult, middle age, and old age) and under two temperature conditions (20°C and 25°C), we found that temperature affects C. elegans lifespan largely by modulating the proteostasis. Surprisingly, although animals live shorter at the higher temperature, we found that worms cultured at 25°C for one day at early adulthood promotes the protein homeostasis by decreasing the synthesis and increasing the degradation, suggesting the beneficial effects. Consistent with the finding, animals shifting from 20°C to 25°C for 24 hours between the larval L4 to adult Day 3 stages indeed live longer and are more resistant to stresses. Furthermore, we found that the one-day thermal induced lifespan extension is mediated by the FOXO transcriptional factor DAF-16. These results reveal an unexpected and complicated mechanism underlying the temperature effects on aging, which could potentially aid to develop strategies for treating aging related diseases.

Project description:The pattern of gene transcription in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is strongly affected by the presence of glucose. An increased activity of protein kinase A (PKA), triggered by a rise in the intracellular concentration of cAMP, can account for many of the effects of glucose on transcription. To investigate the requirement of PKA for glucose control of gene expression, we have analyzed global transcription in strains devoid of PKA activity. In S. cerevisiae three genes, TPK1, TPK2, TPK3, encode catalytic subunits of PKA and the triple mutant tpk1 tpk2 tpk3 is unviable. We have worked, therefore, with two strains, tpk1 tpk2 tpk3 yak1 and tpk1 tpk2 tpk3 msn2 msn4, that bear suppressor mutations,. We have identified different classes of genes that can be induced, or repressed, by glucose in the absence of PKA. Among these genes, some are also controlled by a redundant signalling pathway involving PKA activation, while others do not respond to an increase in cAMP concentration. On the other hand, among genes which do not respond to glucose in the absence of PKA, some show a full response to increased cAMP levels, even in the absence of glucose, while others appear to require the cooperation of different signalling pathways. The goal of the present study was to investigate the occurrence of PKA-independent glucose signalling in S. cerevisiae. To this end, we have used global transcription analysis to study the effects of glucose on yeast strains completely devoid of PKA activity. In S. cerevisiae three genes TPK1, TPK2,and TPK3 encode catalytic subunits of PKA. While strains expressing only one of these genes grow normally, a triple null mutant (tpk1 tpk2 tpk3) is not viable (Toda et al 1987). Identification of different mutations able to suppress the growth defect of the triple mutant (Garrett and Broach 1989, Reinders et al 1998, Smith et al 1998) has allowed to determine what is the crucial function of PKA. As shown in Fig.1, PKA is needed to counteract the negative effect of the protein kinase Yak1 on yeast growth (Hartley et al 1994, Moriya et al 2001). In the presence of PKA the protein kinase Rim15 (Reinders et al 1998) and the transcription factors Msn2 and Msn4 (Görner et al 1998) can be phosphorylated and exported to the cytoplasm, transcription of the YAK1 gene, which is activated by Msn2/Msn4 (Smith et al 1998), is reduced, Yak1 levels remain low and growth is not hindered. In the absence of PKA, Rim15 remains in the nucleus where it can activate Msn2/Msn4 (Cameroni et al 2004) that turn on YAK1 transcription, thus blocking growth. This explains why strains lacking Rim15, Msn2/Msn4 or Yak1 no longer require PKA for growth. In this work we have used two isogenic strains lacking PKA and carrying the suppressor mutations msn2 msn4 or yak1. Two different suppressor mutants were used with the aim to enable a dissection of effects of the lack of PKA and effects of the suppressor mutations themselves.

Project description:For celiac disease (CeD) the diagnosis and response to treatment is determined by histological evaluation of gut biopsies which depend on proper biopsy orientation and has poor inter-observer reproducibility. Biopsy proteome measurement that reports on the tissue state can be obtained by mass spectrometry (MS) analysis of formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue. Here we aimed to transform biopsy proteome data into numerical scores that would give observer-independent measures of mucosal remodeling in CeD. A pipeline was established that employs glass-mounted FFPE sections for MS-based proteome analysis. Proteome data was converted to a numerical score using two different approaches, by calculating a rank-based enrichment score and by training a machine-learning algorithm to calculate a disease-state prediction value. The scoring approaches were compared to each other and to histology using a validation cohort of 18 CeD patients comparing biopsies collected before and after treatment with gluten-free diet (GFD). Biopsies from non-CeD individuals (n = 18) served as controls.
