Journal Article
Regulation of the one carbon folate cycle as a shared metabolic signature of longevity
2021
Overview
The metabolome represents a complex network of biological events that reflects the physiologic state of the organism in health and disease. Additionally, specific metabolites and metabolic signaling pathways have been shown to modulate animal ageing, but whether there are convergent mechanisms uniting these processes remains elusive. Here, we used high resolution mass spectrometry to obtain the metabolomic profiles of canonical longevity pathways in
C. elegans
to identify metabolites regulating life span. By leveraging the metabolomic profiles across pathways, we found that one carbon metabolism and the folate cycle are pervasively regulated in common. We observed similar changes in long-lived mouse models of reduced insulin/IGF signaling. Genetic manipulation of pathway enzymes and supplementation with one carbon metabolites in
C. elegans
reveal that regulation of the folate cycle represents a shared causal mechanism of longevity and proteoprotection. Such interventions impact the methionine cycle, and reveal methionine restriction as an underlying mechanism. This comparative approach reveals key metabolic nodes to enhance healthy ageing.
Metabolic pathways are closely intertwined with longevity. Here the authors perform metabolomic profiling of canonical longevity pathways and show that folate and methionine cycle intermediates are changed in common, and further, genetic manipulation of pathway enzymes and supplementation with metabolites indicates that they causally regulate longevity.
