    Abstract The extrinsic diet and the intrinsic developmental programs are intertwined. Although extensive research has been conducted on how nutrition regulates development, whether and how developmental programs control the timing of nutritional responses remain barely known. Here, we report that a developmental timing regulator, BLMP-1/BLIMP1, governs the temporal response to dietary restriction (DR). At the end of larval development, BLMP-1 is induced and interacts with DR-activated PHA-4/FOXA, a key transcription factor responding to the reduced nutrition. By integrating temporal and nutritional signaling, the DR response regulates many development-related genes, including gska-3/GSK3β, through BLMP-1-PHA-4 at the onset of adulthood. Upon DR, a precocious activation of BLMP-1 in early larval stages impairs neuronal development through gska-3, whereas the increase of gska-3 by BLMP-1-PHA-4 at the last larval stage suppresses WNT signaling in adulthood for DR-induced longevity. Our findings reveal a temporal checkpoint of the DR response that protects larval development and promotes adult health.

    Abstract Nuclear receptors are transcription factors that often respond to small molecule metabolites and fat-soluble compounds to regulate gene expression. They broadly govern development, reproduction, metabolism, and homeostasis in diverse metazoan species and their dysregulation is associated with numerous diseases. Work in C. elegans has shed light on the seminal role of nuclear receptors in life history regulation, stem cell progression, developmental timing, cell fate specification, nutrient sensing, metabolism, and longevity. Here we highlight recent advances on the best-studied nuclear receptors in the worm, and how they illuminate metazoan biology.

    Abstract Hormones play a critical role in driving major stage transitions and developmental timing events in many species. In the nematode C. elegans the steroid hormone receptor, DAF-12, works at the confluence of pathways regulating developmental timing, stage specification, and longevity. DAF-12 couples environmental and physiologic signals to life history regulation, and it is embedded in a rich architecture governing diverse processes. Here, we highlight the molecular insights, extraordinary circuitry, and signaling pathways governing life stage transitions in the worm and how they have yielded fundamental insights into steroid regulation of biological time.

    Abstract Aging is associated with an increase in body fat mass and a concomitant decrease in lean mass and bone density in mammals. Body adiposity can also be redistributed with age, resulting in abdominal fat accumulation and subcutaneous fat reduction. In addition, specific variation in fat distribution is considered to be a risk factor for a number of age-related metabolic disorders. Micro computed tomography (micro-CT) is a nondestructive high-resolution imaging method that uses planar X-ray images captured at various angles around a sample of interest to yield a three-dimensional array of radiodensity values, which can then be used to computationally extract the adipose volume in situ using its innate contrast properties. This method was successfully used to study adipose tissue dynamics in rodents and more recently in zebrafish. The naturally short-lived African turquoise killifish is an emerging model organism to study the biology of aging. Like mammals, killifish also have different fat deposits (visceral and subcutaneous), making them a suitable model to study age-related changes in fat mass and distribution. However, procedures allowing precise quantification of fat content and distribution are missing in this species. Here, we provide an optimized protocol to measure and quantify fat distribution in turquoise killifish by micro-CT scan analysis and show the applicability of the method in young and old animals of both sexes.

    Abstract Blood withdrawal is a common procedure performed on laboratory animals to monitor key processes and indicators of fish health and physiology, such as hematopoiesis, hemostasis, and lipid and glucose metabolism. Moreover, the ability to extract blood with minimal invasiveness and without sacrificing animals enables repeated sampling, allowing both longitudinal studies of individual animals, as well as reducing the number of experimental animals needed in a study. The African turquoise killifish is an emerging animal model that is progressively being adopted worldwide for aging studies because of its naturally short life span. However, because of the small body size of this species, nonlethal blood collection is a challenging procedure. Here we present a detailed protocol enabling repeated blood sampling from the same individual fish. This method, if correctly executed, is minimally invasive and does not cause any lasting damage. The protocol has been tested on animals spanning from 6 to 24 wk of age and the amount of blood that could be extracted varied from 0.5 to 8 µL, greatly depending on specimen age, sex, and size. This volume is sufficient to perform analyses such as blood glucose measurement, blood cell counts, or histological stains on blood smears.

In addition, it allows for the synchronization of gamete availability and the transport and sharing of lines between different laboratories.

    Abstract Pioneering work in model organisms reveals that the reproductive system is involved not only in propagation of the species but also regulates organismal metabolism and longevity. In C. elegans, prevention of germline stem cell proliferation results in a 60% extension of lifespan, termed gonadal longevity. Gonadal longevity relies on the transcriptional activities of steroid nuclear receptor DAF-12, the FOXO transcription factor homolog DAF-16, the FOXA transcription factor homolog PHA-4, and the HNF-4-like nuclear receptor NHR-80. These transcription factors work in an integrated transcriptional network to regulate fatty acid lipolysis, autophagy, stress resistance and other processes, which altogether enhance homeostasis and extend life. Because the reproductive system also regulates longevity in other species, studies in C. elegans may shed light on ancient mechanisms governing reproduction and survival.
