Abstract:
We present a genome-scale model of Caenorhabditis elegans
metabolism along with the public database ElegCyc
(http://elegcyc.bioinf.uni-jena.de:1100), which represents a
reference for metabolic pathways in the worm and allows for the
visualization as well as analysis of omics datasets.
Our model reflects the metabolic peculiarities of
C. elegans that make it distinct from other higher
eukaryotes and mammals, including mice and humans. We
experimentally verify one of these peculiarities by showing
that the lifespan-extending effect of L-tryptophan
supplementation is dose dependent (hormetic). Finally, we show
the utility of our model for analyzing omics datasets through
predicting changes in amino acid concentrations after genetic
perturbations and analyzing metabolic changes during normal
aging as well as during two distinct, reactive oxygen
species (ROS)-related lifespan-extending treatments. Our
analyses reveal a notable similarity in metabolic adaptation
between distinct lifespan-extending interventions and point to
key pathways affecting lifespan in nematodes.

Project description:Recent research has highlighted that the polyphenols Quercetin (Q) and Tannic acid (TA) are capable of extending the lifespan of C. elegans. To gain a deep understanding of the underlying molecular genetics, we analyzed the global transcriptional patterns of nematodes exposed to Quercetin or Tannic acid concentrations that are non-effective (in lifespan extension), lifespan extending or toxic.

To gain a deep understanding of the underlying molecular genetics, we analyzed the global transcriptional patterns of nematodes exposed to Quercetin or Tannic acid concentrations that are non-effective (in lifespan extension), lifespan extending or toxic. The global transcriptome was compared in wild type nematodes raised in the presence of 0, 50, 100, and 200 µM Quercetin (Q) or 0, 100, 200, and 300 µM Tannic acid (TA).

Project description:One of the most important issues in the study of aging is to discover compounds with longevity-promoting activity and to unravel their underlying mechanisms. Queen honey bees are continuously fed royal jelly (RJ), and they live more than 10 times longer than hive workers, derived from the same diploid genome, which are fed it only for a short period of time during their larval stages. Therefore, RJ is likely to contain longevity-promoting agents for queens. RJ has been reported to possess diverse pharmacological properties. Furthermore, protease-treated RJ (pRJ) has additional beneficial activities. How RJ and pRJ exert these effects and which components in them play a critical role is largely unknown. The evolutionally conserved mechanisms that control lifespan have been indicated. The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has been widely used for study of aging and longevity, due to its relatively short lifespan and well-established genetic pathways. The purpose of the present study was to elucidate whether RJ and its related substances contain the life span-extending activity in C. elegans and to obtain some insight into the active agents and their mechanisms. We found that both RJ and pRJ extended the lifespan of C. elegans. The life span-extending activity of pRJ was enriched by ODS column chromatography (pRJ-Fraction 5). pRJ-Fr. 5 extended the life span partly by acting through the FOXO transcription factor DAF-16, the activation of which is known to promote longevity in C. elegans by reducing insulin/IGF-1 signaling (IIS). pRJ-Fr. 5 induced changes in the expression of 3 genes encoding insulin-like peptides. Moreover, pRJ-Fr. 5 and reduced IIS shared some common features in terms of their effect on gene expression, such as up-regulation of dod-3 and down-regulation of dod-19, dao-4 and fkb-4. The dod-19 is a previously identified life span determinant in C. elegans, and the fkb-4 encodes a homologue of the mammalian FK506-binding protein. 10-Hydroxy-2-decenoic acid (10-HDA), which was present in high concentration in pRJ-Fr. 5, increased the lifespan independently of DAF-16 activity.These results demonstrate that RJ and its related substances extended the life span in C. elegans, suggesting that RJ may contain longevity-promoting factors common to diverse species across phyla. pRJ-Fr. 5 had higher life span-extending activity than either RJ or pRJ and extended the life span in part through the IIS-DAF-16 pathway. We provide the first evidence that 10-HDA, a defined natural product in RJ, extended organismal lifespan. It is noteworthy that 10-HDA performed its lifespan-extending function through a mechanism totally different from the IIS-DAF-16 pathway. Further search and characterization of the lifespan-extending agents in RJ and pRJ may broaden our understanding of the gene network of longevity regulation in diverse species and provide the possibility for nutraceutical interventions in the aging process. C. elegans N2 hermaphrodites were untreated or treated with pRJ-Fr. 5 (25mg/ml) for 24 h starting at the larval 4 (L4) stage.

Project description:We have previously reported that tyrosol (TYR), one of the main phenols in extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), promotes lifespan extension in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, also inducing a stronger resistance to thermal and oxidative stress in this animal model. Although the influence of several longevity-related genes in these effects has been reported by our group, we decided to perform a whole genome DNA-microarray approach in order to identify other genes and molecular pathways further involved in TYR effects on C. elegans longevity. Microarray analysis identified 208 differentially expressed genes (206 overexpressed and 2 underexpressed) when comparing TYR-treated nematodes with non-treated controls. Many of these genes seem linked to processes such as regulation of growth, transcription, reproduction, lipid metabolism and body morphogenesis. Data obtained by microarray was validated by qRT-PCR analysis of selected genes. Our results confirm that several important cellular mechanisms related to longevity are influenced by TYR treatment in this animal model. Moreover, we detected an interesting overlap between the expression pattern elicited by TYR and those induced by other dietary polyphenols known to extend lifespan in C. elegans, such as quercetin and tannic acid.
