Tomatidine enhances lifespan and healthspan in C. elegans through mitophagy induction via the SKN-1/Nrf2 pathway.

ABSTRACT: Aging is a major international concern and brings with it formidable socioeconomical and healthcare challenges. An attainable approach to improve general health in humans is using small molecules. Tomatidine, a natural compound abundant in unripe tomatoes, inhibits aging-related skeletal muscle atrophy in mice. Here we show that tomatidine extends lifespan and healthspan in the aging animal model C. elegans, which shares many major longevity pathways with those of mammals. Tomatidine improves behaviors related to healthspan, including increased pharyngeal pumping and swimming movement, and also reduces deterioration of muscle cells in worms. Microarray, imaging, and behavioral analysis reveal that tomatidine maintains mitochondrial homeostasis through mitochondrial biogenesis and PINK-1/DCT-1-dependent mitophagy. Mechanistically, tomatidine induces mitochondrial hormesis by mildly inducing ROS production, which in turn activates the cellular antioxidant response SKN-1/Nrf2 pathway, followed by increased mitophagy in worms, primary rat neurons, and human cells. Our data suggest that tomatidine may delay some physiological aspects of aging, and points to new approaches for pharmacological interventions towards diseases of aging.

Peroxiredoxin 2 is required for the exercise induced redox mediated adaptation to exercise

Project description:During exercise there is a site-specific increase in ROS within muscle required for the beneficial adaptive response by activation of specific signalling pathways. Peroxiredoxin 2 (Prdx2), an abundant cytoplasmic 2-Cys peroxidase, is required for the adaptive beneficial hormesis response to H2O2, myoblasts with knockdown of Prdx2 did not increase mitochondrial content and had disrupted myogenesis. Using a 5-day swimming protocol in C. elegans, previously been demonstrated to improve healthspan, we observed increased mitochondrial content, fitness, survival and longevity in wild type (N2) worms. However, prdx-2 mutant worms had decreased fitness, disrupted mitochondria, reduced survival and lifespan following exercise. Global proteomics following exercise revealed an increase in the abundance of proteins involved in fatty oxidation and ion transport, decrease in proteins involved in cuticle formation in N2 worms. In the prdx-2 mutants following exercise there was an increase in proteins related to the mTOR pathway and decrease in transsulfuration and microRNA biogenesis proteins. Relative quantification of the reversible oxidation state of individual Cysteine (Cys) residues revealed an increased oxidation of specific Cys residues following exercise in prdx-2 mutant. A number of regulatory Cys residues of metabolic, cytoskeletal and calcium handling proteins are reduced in N2 worms. A redox signalling relay whereby the oxidative equivalents from ROS are transferred from evolutionary conserved Prdxs to target proteins, would confer specificity on redox signalling required for the beneficial adaptations to exercise.

the effect of UMI-77 on HGPS-MSCs gene expression during cellular senescence

Project description:Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is a rare and fatal disease manifested by premature aging and aging-related phenotypes, making it a disease model for physiological aging. The cellular machinery mediating age-associated hallmarks in HGPS remains largely unknown, resulting in limited therapeutic targets for HGPS treatment. In this study, we showed that deficiencies in mitophagy impaired mitochondrial quality and contributed to cellular phenotypes associated with aging in mesenchymal stem cells derived from HGPS patients (HGPS-MSCs). Mechanistically, we discovered that mitophagy affected the aging-related phenotypes of HGPS-MSCs by inhibiting the cGAS-STING-NF-ĸB pathway and the downstream transcription of senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Furthermore, by utilizing UMI-77, an effective inducer of mitophagy, we showed that mitophagy induction can alleviate aging-associated phenotypes in both HGPS mice and naturally aged mice. In summary, our results uncover that mitophagy defects mediate mitochondrial dysfunction and aging-associated phenotypes in HGPS models, highlight the function of mitochondrial homeostasis in HGPS progression, and suggest that mitophagy could be exploited as a promising therapeutic target for both HGPS and aging.

Peripheral modulation of antidepressant targets MAO-B and GABAAR by harmol induces mitohormesis and delays aging in preclinical models

Project description:Reversible and sub-lethal stresses to the mitochondria elicit a program of compensatory responses that ultimately improve mitochondrial function, a conserved anti-aging mechanism termed mitohormesis. Here, we show that harmol, a member of the beta-carbolines family with anti-depressant properties, improves mitochondrial function and metabolic parameters, and extends healthspan. Treatment with harmol induces a transient mitochondrial depolarization, a strong mitophagy response, and the AMPK compensatory pathway both in cultured C2C12 myotubes and in male mouse liver, brown adipose tissue and muscle, even though harmol crosses poorly the blood-brain barrier. Mechanistically, simultaneous modulation of the targets of harmol monoamine-oxidase B and GABA-A receptor reproduces harmol-induced mitochondrial improvements. Diet-induced pre-diabetic male mice improve their glucose tolerance, liver steatosis and insulin sensitivity after treatment with harmol. Harmol or a combination of monoamine oxidase B and GABA-A receptor modulators extend the lifespan of hermaphrodite Caenorhabditis elegans or female Drosophila melanogaster. Finally, two-year-old male and female mice treated with harmol exhibit delayed frailty onset with improved glycemia, exercise performance and strength. Our results reveal that peripheral targeting of monoamine oxidase B and GABA-A receptor, common antidepressant targets, extends healthspan through mitohormesis.

Neuroretina of young and old mice treated with UA or vehicle

Project description:Macroautophagy decreases with age, and this change is considered a hallmark of the aging process. It remains unknown whether mitophagy, the essential selective autophagic degradation of mitochondria, also decreases with age. In our analysis of mitophagy in multiple organs in the mito-QC reporter mouse, mitophagy was either increased or unchanged in old versus young mice. Transcriptomic analysis showed marked upregulation of the type I interferon response in the retina of old mice, an effect that correlated with increased levels of cytosolic mtDNA and activation of the cGAS/STING pathway. Crucially, these same alterations were replicated in primary human fibroblasts from elderly donors. In old mice, pharmacological induction of mitophagy with urolithin A attenuated cGAS/STING activation and ameliorated deterioration of neurological function. These findings point to induction of mitophagy as a novel strategy to decrease age-associated inflammation and increase healthspan.

Reduced expression of mitochondrial complex I subunit Ndufs2 does not impact healthspan in mice

Project description:Aging in mammals leads to reduction in genes encoding the 45-subunit mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) complex I. It has been hypothesized that normal aging and age-related diseases such as Parkinson’s disease are in part due to modest decrease in expression of mitochondrial complex I subunits. By contrast, diminishing expression of mitochondrial complex I genes in lower organisms increases lifespan. Furthermore, metformin, a putative complex I inhibitor increases healthspan in mice and humans. In the present study, we investigated whether loss of one allele of Ndufs2, the catalytic subunit of mitochondrial complex I, impacts healthspan and lifespan in mice. Our results indicate that Ndufs2 hemizygous mice (Ndufs2+/-) show no overt impairment in motor function, learning, tissue histology, organismal metabolism, or sensitivity to metformin in a C57B6/J background. However, there are detectable changes at the level of gene expression in individual cell types and tissues due to loss of one allele of Ndufs2. Our data indicate that modest decline in expression of mitochondrial complex I subunit Ndufs2 is not detrimental to healthspan.

NAD+ Replenishment Improves Lifespan and Healthspan in Ataxia Telangiectasia Models via Mitophagy and DNA Repair.

Project description:Ataxia telangiectasia (A-T) is a rare autosomal recessive disease characterized by progressive neurodegeneration and cerebellar ataxia. A-T is causally linked to defects in ATM, a master regulator of the response to and repair of DNA double-strand breaks. The molecular basis of cerebellar atrophy and neurodegeneration in A-T patients is unclear. Here we report and examine the significance of increased PARylation, low NAD+, and mitochondrial dysfunction in ATM-deficient neurons, mice, and worms. Treatments that replenish intracellular NAD+ reduce the severity of A-T neuropathology, normalize neuromuscular function, delay memory loss, and extend lifespan in both animal models. Mechanistically, treatments that increase intracellular NAD+ also stimulate neuronal DNA repair and improve mitochondrial quality via mitophagy. This work links two major theories on aging, DNA damage accumulation, and mitochondrial dysfunction through nuclear DNA damage-induced nuclear-mitochondrial signaling, and demonstrates that they are important pathophysiological determinants in premature aging of A-T, pointing to therapeutic interventions.

Huh7 cells proteoic analysis withtomatidine treatment at 6 and 16 hours post-treatment

Project description:Tomatidine, a natural steroidal alkaloid from unripe green tomatoes has been shown to exhibit many health benefits. We recently provided in vitro evidence that tomatidine reduces the infectivity of Dengue virus (DENV) and Chikungunya virus (CHIKV), two medically important arthropod-borne human infections for which no treatment options are available. The objective of this mass spectrometry analysis was to determine possible proteomic changes in the human cell line Huh7 induced by tomatidine which may be indicative of the underlying antiviral activity of tomatidine.

NAD+ supplementation counteracts senescence mediated by STING in Ataxia Telangiectasia models by improving mitophagy (Mouse)

Project description:Senescence phenotypes and mitochondrial dysfunction are implicated in aging and neurodegeneration, and in the premature aging disease, including A-T. Loss of mitochondrial function can drive age-related decline in the brain, but little is known about whether improving mitochondrial homeostasis alleviates senescence phenotypes. Here we demonstrate impaired mitochondrial function and increased senescence growth arrest with senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) in A-T patient fibroblasts, and in ATM-deficient cells and mice. We find that boosting intracellular NAD+ levels with nicotinamide riboside (NR) reduces senescence, suppresses neuroinflammation, and improves motor function in Atm-/- mice. We further show that the senescence responses are mediated by stimulator of interferon genes (STING), which is activated by cytoplasmic mtDNA and that NR prevents senescence and neuroinflammation through stimulation of mitophagy. Our findings suggest a pivotal role for mitochondrial dysfunction induced senescence in A-T pathogenesis, and that enhancing mitophagy is a potential therapeutic intervention.

Protein import motor complex reacts to mitochondrial misfolding by reducing protein import and activating mitophagy

Project description:Mitophagy is essential to maintain mitochondrial function and prevent diseases. It activates upon mitochondria depolarization, which causes PINK1 stabilization on the mitochondrial outer membrane. Strikingly, a number of conditions, including mitochondrial protein misfolding, can induce mitophagy without a loss in membrane potential. The underlying molecular details remain unclear. Here, we report that a loss of mitochondrial protein import, mediated by the pre-sequence translocase-associated motor complex PAM, is sufficient to induce mitophagy in polarized mitochondria. A genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 screen for mitophagy inducers identifies components of the PAM complex. Protein import defects are able to induce mitophagy without a need for depolarization. Upon mitochondrial protein misfolding, PAM dissociates from the import machinery resulting in decreased protein import and mitophagy induction. Our findings extend the current mitophagy model to explain mitophagy induction upon conditions that do not affect membrane polarization, such as mitochondrial protein misfolding.
