    Abstract Mouse models have been instrumental in understanding human disease biology and proposing possible new treatments. The precise control of the environment and genetic composition of mice allows more rigorous observations, but limits the generalizability and translatability of the results into human applications. In the era of precision medicine, strategies using mouse models have to be revisited to effectively emulate human populations. Systems genetics is one promising paradigm that may promote the transition to novel precision medicine strategies. Here, we review the state-of-the-art resources and discuss how mouse systems genetics helps to understand human diseases and to advance the development of precision medicine, with an emphasis on the existing resources and strategies.

    Abstract Ongoing studies in many species seek to understand the origins, architecture and consequences of phenotypic variation under normal and dysfunctional conditions, with the aim of identifying targets for intervention that can prevent, stabilize or reverse disease. Some suggest that only humans are appropriate for studying these questions and argue that candidate drug targets identified in mouse models are largely unreliable. Here, we review the vast evidence showing that mouse models continue to make fundamental contributions to our understanding of genetic principles, pathogenic mechanisms and therapeutic modalities. We propose a virtuous cycle in which the power of observational studies and natural experiments in humans are closely integrated with the rigour of true experiments in model organisms.

    Abstract Maintaining optimal mitochondrial function is a feature of health. Mitophagy removes and recycles damaged mitochondria and regulates the biogenesis of new, fully functional ones preserving healthy mitochondrial functions and activities. Preclinical and clinical studies have shown that impaired mitophagy negatively affects cellular health and contributes to age-related chronic diseases. Strategies to boost mitophagy have been successfully tested in model organisms, and, recently, some have been translated into clinics. In this Review, we describe the basic mechanisms of mitophagy and how mitophagy can be assessed in human blood, the immune system and tissues, including muscle, brain and liver. We outline mitophagy's role in specific diseases and describe mitophagy-activating approaches successfully tested in humans, including exercise and nutritional and pharmacological interventions. We describe how mitophagy is connected to other features of ageing through general mechanisms such as inflammation and oxidative stress and forecast how strengthening research on mitophagy and mitophagy interventions may strongly support human health.

    Abstract Aging is typified by a progressive decline in mitochondrial activity and stress resilience. Here, we review how mitochondrial stress pathways have pleiotropic effects on cellular and systemic homeostasis, which can comprise protective or detrimental responses during aging. We describe recent evidence arguing that defects in these conserved adaptive pathways contribute to aging and age-related diseases. Signaling pathways regulating the mitochondrial unfolded protein response, mitochondrial membrane dynamics, and mitophagy are discussed, emphasizing how their failure contributes to heteroplasmy and de-regulation of key metabolites. Our current understanding of how these processes are controlled and interconnected explains how mitochondria can widely impact fundamental aspects of aging.

    Abstract Mass spectrometry-based large-scale multi-omics research has proven to be powerful in answering biological questions; nonetheless, it faces many challenges from sample preparation to downstream data integration. To efficiently extract biomolecules of different physicochemical properties, preparation of various sample type needs specific tailoring, especially of difficult ones, such as Caenorhabditis elegans. In this study, we sought to develop a multi-omics sample preparation method starting with a single set ofC. elegans samples to save time, minimize variability, expand biomolecule coverage, and promote multi-omics integration. We investigated tissue disruption methods to effectively release biomolecules and optimized extraction strategies to achieve broader and more reproducible biomolecule coverage in proteomics, lipidomics, and metabolomics workflows. In our assessment, we also considered speediness and usability of the approaches. The developed method was validated through a study of 16C. elegans samples designed to shine light on mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPRmt), induced by three unique stressors—knocking down electron transfer chain element cco-1, mitochondrial ribosome protein S5 mrps-5, and antibiotic treatment Doxycycline. Our findings suggested that the method achieved great coverage of proteome, lipidome, and metabolome with high reproducibility and validated that all stressors triggered UPRmt in C. elegans, although generating unique molecular signatures. Innate immune response was activated, and triglycerides were decreased under all three stressor conditions. Additionally, Doxycycline treatment elicited more distinct proteomic, lipidomic, and metabolomic response than the other two treatments. This method has been successfully used to process Saccharomyces cerevisiae (data not shown) and can likely be applied to other organisms for multi-omics research.

    Abstract Human life expectancy has dramatically improved over the course of the last century. Although this reflects a global improvement in sanitation and medical care, this also implies that more people suffer from diseases that typically manifest later in life, like Alzheimer and atherosclerosis. Increasing healthspan by delaying or reverting the development of these age-related diseases has therefore become an urgent challenge in biomedical research. Research in this field is complicated by the multi-factorial nature of age-related diseases. They are rooted in complex physiological mechanisms impacted by heritable, environment and life-style factors that can be unique to each individual. Although technological advances in high-throughput biomolecular assays have enabled researchers to investigate individual physiology at the molecular level, integrating information about its different components, and accounting for individual variations remains a challenge. We are using a large collection of omics and phenotype data derived from the BXD mouse genetic diversity panel to explore how good data management practices, as fostered by the FAIR principles, paired with an explainable artificial intelligence framework, can provide solutions to decipher the complex roots of age-related diseases. These developments will help to propose innovative approaches to extend healthspan in the aging global population.

    Abstract Spatiotemporally regulated targeted gene manipulation is a common way to study the effect of gene variants on phenotypic traits, but the Cre/loxP and Tet-On/Tet-Off systems can affect whole-organism physiology and function due to off-target effects. We highlight some of these adverse effects, including whole-body endocrinology and disturbances in the gut microbiome and in mitochondrial and metabolic function.
