    Abstract Background and aims: SKN-1, a C. elegans transcription factor analogous to the mammalian NF-E2-related factor (Nrf2), has been known to promote oxidative stress resistance aiding nematodes' longevity. Although SKN-1's functions suggest its implication in lifespan modulation through cellular metabolism, the actual mechanism of how metabolic rearrangements contribute to SKN-1's lifespan modulation has yet to be well characterized. Therefore, we performed the metabolomic profiling of the short-lived skn-1-knockdown C. elegans.
    Methods: We analyzed the metabolic profile of the skn-1-knockdown worms with nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and obtained distinctive metabolomic profiles compared to WT worms. We further extended our study with gene expression analysis to examine the expression level of genes encoding all metabolic enzymes.
    Results: A significant increase in the phosphocholine and AMP/ATP ratio, potential biomarkers of aging, was observed, accompanied by a decrease in the transsulfuration metabolites, NADPH/NADP
    Conclusion: Our multi-omics results consistently revealed that the cytoprotective mechanisms, including cellular redox reactions and xenobiotic detoxification system, contribute to the roles of SKN-1/Nrf2 in the lifespan of worms.

    Abstract Background: Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), with its hallmark phenotype of high cytosolic lipid content, is considered a metabolic cancer. Despite the implication of this lipid-rich phenotype in ccRCC tumorigenesis, the roles and regulators of de novo lipid synthesis (DNL) in ccRCC remain largely unexplained.
    Methods: Our bioinformatic screening focused on ccRCC-lipid phenotypes identified glutathione peroxidase 8 (GPX8), as a clinically relevant upstream regulator of DNL. GPX8 genetic silencing was performed with CRISPR-Cas9 or shRNA in ccRCC cell lines to dissect its roles. Untargeted metabolomics, RNA-seq analyses, and other biochemical assays (e.g., lipid droplets staining, fatty acid uptake, cell proliferation, xenograft, etc.) were carried out to investigate the GPX8's involvement in lipid metabolism and tumorigenesis in ccRCC. The lipid metabolic function of GPX8 and its downstream were also measured by isotope-tracing-based DNL flux measurement.
    Results: GPX8 knockout or downregulation substantially reduced lipid droplet levels (independent of lipid uptake), fatty acid de novo synthesis, triglyceride esterification in vitro, and tumor growth in vivo. The downstream regulator was identified as nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT): its knockdown phenocopied, and its expression rescued, GPX8 silencing both in vitro and in vivo. Mechanically, GPX8 regulated NNMT via IL6-STAT3 signaling, and blocking this axis suppressed ccRCC survival by activating AMPK. Notably, neither the GPX8-NNMT axis nor the DNL flux was affected by the von Hippel Lindau (VHL) status, the conventional regulator of ccRCC high lipid content.
    Conclusions: Taken together, our findings unravel the roles of the VHL-independent GPX8-NNMT axis in ccRCC lipid metabolism as related to the phenotypes and growth of ccRCC, which may be targeted for therapeutic purposes.
