Endogenous circadian clocks orchestrate several metabolic and signaling pathways that are known to modulate lifespan, suggesting clocks as potential targets for manipulation of metabolism and lifespan. We report here that the core circadian clock genes, timeless (tim) and period (per), are required for the metabolic and lifespan responses to DR in Drosophila. Consistent with the involvement of a circadian mechanism, DR enhances the amplitude of cycling of most circadian clock genes, including tim, in peripheral tissues. Mass-spectrometry-based lipidomic analysis suggests a role of tim in cycling of specific medium chain triglycerides under DR. Furthermore, overexpression of tim in peripheral tissues improves its oscillatory amplitude and extends lifespan under ad libitum conditions. Importantly, effects of tim on lifespan appear to be mediated through enhanced fat turnover. These findings identify a critical role for specific clock genes in modulating the effects of nutrient manipulation on fat metabolism and aging.
内源性生物钟协调着多种已知可调节寿命的代谢和信号通路,这表明生物钟是调节代谢和寿命的潜在靶点。我们在此报告,在果蝇中,核心生物钟基因 timeless(tim)和 period(per)是对饮食限制(DR)产生代谢和寿命反应所必需的。与昼夜节律机制的参与一致,DR增强了包括tim在内的大多数生物钟基因在周围组织中的循环振幅。基于质谱的脂质组学分析表明,tim在DR条件下特定中链甘油三酯的循环中发挥作用。此外,在外周组织中过表达tim可改善其振荡幅度,并在自由摄食条件下延长寿命。重要的是,tim对寿命的影响似乎是通过增强脂肪周转率来介导的。这些发现确定了特定生物钟基因在调节营养操纵对脂肪代谢和衰老的影响方面的关键作用。
