    Abstract Insight on the underlying mechanisms of aging will advance our ability to extend healthspan, treat age-related pathology and improve quality of life. Multiple genetic and pharmacological manipulations extend longevity in different species, yet monotherapy may be relatively inefficient, and we have limited data on the effect of combined interventions. Here we summarize interactions between age-related pathways and discuss strategies to simultaneously retard these in different organisms. In some cases, combined manipulations additively increase their impact on common hallmarks of aging and lifespan, suggesting they quantitatively participate within the same pathway. In other cases, interactions affect different hallmarks, suggesting their joint manipulation may independently maximize their effects on lifespan and healthy aging. While most interaction studies have been conducted with invertebrates and show varying levels of translatability, the conservation of pro-longevity pathways offers an opportunity to identify 'druggable' targets relevant to multiple human age-associated pathologies.

    Abstract It has been almost two decades since dietary restriction was first shown to increase Drosophila lifespan. Since then, understanding this phenomenon advanced as groups worked to identify what quality of restricted diet matters: calories or a specific nutrient. The problem is complex because is it difficult to measure what a fly actually consumes. A powerful solution uses the geometric framework of nutrition where diets in many combinations can be tested for their effects on lifespan and reproduction while measuring intake. Applied to Drosophila, it is now clear that specific nutrients, not calories, mediate longevity. The geometric framework also reveals a nutritional basis for the trade-off between reproduction and lifespan. This complements a stable-isotope analysis that tracked the allocation of nitrogen, carbon and essential amino acids into eggs versus reproduction. Together, these studies show that it is not possible to explain how DR extends lifespan through a mechanism were resources are simply reallocated to somatic maintenance away from reproduction. Although promising in principle, genetic analysis of DR mechanisms has had limited success. To be productive, studies must include enough diets at appropriate concentrations. In reviewing the best data, there is little evidence to date for any gene to be required for DR to increase Drosophila lifespan, including insulin signaling or 4eBP. Strong analyses of genes required for DR should be a priority in future research with Drosophila and this may be made most robust by considering the effect of mutants in the context of the geometric framework.

    Abstract The invertebrate genetic systems of Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila melanogaster are emerging models to understand the underlying mechanisms of reproductive aging and the relationship between reproduction and lifespan. Both animals show progressive decline in egg production beginning at early middle age, caused in part by reduction in germline stem cell proliferation as well as in survival of developing eggs. Molecular genetic analysis reveals that insulin and TGF-beta signaling are regulators of germline stem cell maintenance and proliferation during aging. Furthermore, the lifespan of both C. elegans and D. melanogaster appears to be regulated by signaling that depends on the presence of germline stem cells in the adult gonad. These invertebrate models provide powerful tools to dissect conserved causes of reproductive aging.

    Abstract Understanding healthspan is arguably the most relevant clinical, social, and economic feature of aging research. The model systems of worm, fly, and mouse are potentially powerful tools to achieve this aim. These models provide two unique approaches. The first is based on genetic screening for gain or loss of function mutations that ameliorate senescence. Genetic factors discovered by this process permit us to recognize causal and regulatory mechanisms of aging. A related screen looks for compounds that slow aging or act upon proteins that were initially identified from genetic analysis. The second research strategy uses manipulations of targeted genetic factors to test causal explanations for aging. These studies include transgenic organisms and genetic epistasis analysis. Overall, genetically driven research with model organisms is largely responsible for the breakthrough of aging biology in the past 15 years. Aging in these contexts, however, has been measured almost exclusively from cohort survival statistics such as life expectancy and age-specific mortality. This is for a good reason. Manipulated factors that extend life span are thought to unambiguously slow senescence and thus to reflect underlying causes of the aging process. But this approach is also common for a practical reason--healthspan is a poorly defined commodity in humans, let alone for genetic animal model systems. It was the consensus of the working session that making healthspan an operational metric would be an innovation needed for the genetic power of model systems to address this aspect of human aging.

    Abstract Insulin/IGF signaling (IIS) in Drosophila melanogaster is propagated by eight Drosophila insulin-like peptides (dilps) and is regulated by nutrition. To understand how dietary protein and sugar affect dilp expression, we followed the analytical concepts of the Nutritional Geometric Framework, feeding Drosophila adults media comprised of seven protein-to-carbohydrate ratios at four caloric concentrations. Transcript levels of all dilps and three IIS-regulated genes were measured. Each dilp presented a unique pattern upon a bivariate plot of sugar and protein. Dilp2 expression was greatest upon diets with low protein-to-carbohydrate ratio regardless of total caloric value. Dilp5 expression was highly expressed at approximately a 1:2 protein-to-carbohydrate ratio and its level increased with diet caloric content. Regression analysis revealed that protein-to-carbohydrate ratio and the interaction between this ratio and caloric content significantly affects dilp expression. The IIS-regulated transcripts 4eBP and InR showed strikingly different responses to diet composition: 4eBP was minimally expressed except when elevated at low caloric diets. InR expression increased with protein level, independent of caloric content. Values of published life history traits measured on similar diets revealed correlations between egg production and the expression of dilp8 4eBP, while low protein-to-carbohydrate ratio diets associated with long lifespan correlated with elevated dilp2. Analyzing how nutient composition associates with dilp expression and IIS reveals that nutritional status is modulated by different combinations of insulin-like peptides, and these features variously correlate to IIS-regulated life history traits.
