Tissue-specific orchestration of nutrient dependent responses in D. melanogaster

ABSTRACT: Dietary restriction (DR) is a robust intervention to slow aging, but how individual tissues respond to DR is largely unknown. We developed a translating ribosome affinity purification method in Drosophila (Fly-TRAP) and investigated mRNA translational profiles of seven primary tissues upon DR. Here we demonstrate that DR alters the mRNA translation expression of proteins genes involved in tissue structural integrity, metabolism, and signal communication in a tissue-specific and coordinated manner. DR enhances the expression of mitochondrial genes in some tissues but decreases in others. Genes involved in mRNA translation were increased specifically in the gut and fat body. A key finding from the study was that DR upregulates several neuroendocrine factors and their corresponding receptors in specific peripheral tissues. Additionally, several a list of secreted factors was in non-neuronal tissues were increased upon changed in response to DR, some of which affected longevity. These results suggest that DR enhances tissue-tissue communication to leading to a longer lifespan and improved tissue homeostasis.

Intra-myocellular fatty acid synthesis and breakdown plays a critical role in mediating responses to dietary restriction in Drosophila melanogaster

Project description:Dietary restriction (DR) is a robust environmental intervention that slows aging in various species. Changes in fat content have been associated with DR, but whether they play a causal role in mediating various responses to DR remains unknown. We demonstrate that upon DR, Drosophila melanogaster shift their metabolism towards increasing both fatty acid synthesis and breakdown. Inhibition of acetyl CoA carboxylase (ACC), a critical enzyme in fatty acid synthesis, or fatty acid oxidation genes specifically in the muscle tissue inhibited the lifespan extension observed upon DR, suggesting a critical role for intra-myocellular fatty acid metabolism. DR enhances spontaneous activity of flies which was found to be dependent on the enhanced fatty acid metabolism. Furthermore, this increase in activity upon DR was found to partially mediate the lifespan extension upon DR. Over-expression of adipokinetic hormone (dAKH) in whole flies, which increases fat metabolism, led to an increase in spontaneous activity and lifespan in a nutrient dependent manner. Together these results suggest that in Drosophila melanogaster enhanced fat metabolism in the muscle is a key metabolic adaptation in response to DR.

FOXP1 orchestration of ASD-relevant signaling pathways.

Project description:Mutations in the gene encoding the transcription factor forkhead box P1 or FOXP1 occur in patients with neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism. However, the function of FOXP1 in the brain remains mostly unknown. Here, we identify the gene expression program regulated by FoxP1 in both human neural cells and mouse brain and demonstrate a conserved role for FOXP1 transcriptional regulation of autism and Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein (FMRP) mediated pathways. Coexpression networks support a role for Foxp1 in neuronal activity, and we show that Foxp1 is necessary for neuronal excitability. Using a Foxp1 mouse model, we observe defects in ultrasonic vocalizations. This behavioral phenotype is reflected at the genomic level as striatal Foxp1-regulated overlap with genes known to be important in rodent vocalizations. These data support an integral role for FOXP1 in regulating signaling pathways vulnerable in developmental disorders and the specific regulation of pathways important for vocal communication. We carried out RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) and ChIP-sequencing of human neural progenitors cells. We carried out RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) of mouse striatal tissue, mouse hippocampal tissue and mouse cortical tissue. For the RNA-seq, four indipendent replicates were used for the neural progenitor cells and mouse tissues. For the Chip-seq, a single neural progenitor cell line was used.

Translation profiling of Drosophila after dietary restriction

Project description:Analysis of the translational changes induced upon DR in male Drosophila. Experiment Overall Design: 1-2 day old flies were transferred onto 4% or 0.25% YE food for 6 days. ~100 male flies were then ground and RNA was separated by size on a sucrose gradient and fractionated using a Teledyne density gradient fractionator and a polysome profile was produced by monitoring the abs at 252nm. RNA was then prepared from the low (1-4 ribosomes bound) and high (5 or more ribosomes bound) translation fractions. A translational index was then calculated for each mRNA. The changes in translational index upon DR were then evaluated. This was done in triplicate on individual biological replicates.

Ataxin-2 adapts ribosomal mRNA levels and S6 phosphorylation to nutrient availability, with effects on protein synthesis and growth

Project description:Spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2) is a neurodegenerative disorder, which is caused by an unstable CAG-repeat expansion in the SCA2 gene, that encodes a polyglutamine tract (polyQ-tract) expansion in ataxin-2 protein (ATXN2). The RNA-binding protein ATXN2 interacts with the poly(A)-binding protein PABPC1, localizing to ribosomes at the rough endoplasmic reticulum or to polysomes. Under cell stress ATXN2 and PABPC1 show redistribution to stress granules where mRNAs are kept away from translation and from degradation. It is unknown whether ATXN2 associates preferentially with specific mRNAs or how it modulates their processing. Here, we investigated Atxn2 knock-out (Atxn2-/-) mouse liver, cerebellum and midbrain regarding their RNA profile, employing oligonucleotide microarrays for screening and RNA deep sequencing for validation. Modest ~1.4-fold upregulations were observed for the level of many mRNAs encoding ribosomal proteins and other translation pathway factors. Quantitative reverse transcriptase PCR and immunoblots in liver tissue confirmed these effects and demonstrated an inverse correlation also with PABPC1 mRNA and protein. ATXN2 deficiency also enhanced phosphorylation of the ribosomal protein S6, while impairing the global protein synthesis rate, suggesting a block between the enhanced translation drive and the impaired execution. Furthermore, ATXN2 overexpression and deficiency retarded cell cycle progression. ATXN2 mRNA levels showed a delayed phasic twofold increase under amino acid and serum starvation, similar to ATXN3, but different from motor neuron disease genes MAPT and SQSTM1. ATXN2 mRNA levels depended particularly on mTOR signalling. Altogether the data implicate ATXN2 in the adaptation of mRNA translation and cell growth to nutrient availability and stress. Factorial design comparing ataxin-2 knock-out mice with wild type littermates in three different tissues (midbrain, cerebellum, liver) and 3 different ages.

METTL3 promotes translation in human cancer cells

Project description:we find METTL3 associates with polyribosomes and promotes translation. METTL3 depletion inhibits translation, and both wild-type and catalytically inactive METTL3 promote translation when tethered to the 3' untranslated region (UTR) of a reporter mRNA. Mechanistically, METTL3 enhances mRNA translation through an interaction with the translation initiation machinery. m6A seq in A549 and H1299 cells, RNA seq in METTL3 knockdown cells

VEGF orchestration of the p130Cas Interactome

Project description:p130Cas is a polyvalent adapter protein essential for cardiovascular development, and with a key role in cell movement. In order to identify the pathways by which p130Cas exerts its biological functions in endothelial cells we mapped the p130Cas interactome and its dynamic changes in response to VEGF using high-resolution mass spectrometry and reconstruction of protein interaction (PPI) networks with the aid of multiple PPI databases. The work presented here was based on a collaboration between University College London and University College Dublin.

The Small Molecule ISRIB Reverses the Effects of eIF2α Phosphorylation on Translation and Stress Granule Assembly

Project description:We recently identified ISRIB as a potent inhibitor of the integrated stress response (ISR). ISRIB renders cells resistant to the effects of eIF2α phosphorylation and enhances long-term memory in rodents (10.7554/eLife.00498). Here we show by genome-wide in vivo ribosome profiling that translation of a restricted subset of mRNAs is induced upon ISR activation. ISRIB substantially reversed the translational effects elicited by phosphorylation of eIF2α and induced no major changes in translation or mRNA levels in unstressed cells. eIF2α phosphorylation-induced stress granule (SG) formation was blocked by ISRIB. Strikingly, ISRIB addition to stressed cells with pre-formed SGs induced their rapid disassembly, liberating mRNAs into the actively translating pool. Restoration of mRNA translation and modulation of SG dynamics may be an effective treatment of neurodegenerative diseases characterized by eIF2α phosphorylation, SG formation and cognitive loss.
