Abstract

Summary: The insulin/insulin‐like growth factor‐like signaling (IIS) pathway in metazoans has evolutionarily conserved roles in growth control, metabolic homeostasis, stress responses, reproduction, and lifespan. Genetic manipulations that reduce IIS in the nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans , the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster , and the mouse have been shown not only to produce substantial increases in lifespan but also to ameliorate several age‐related diseases. In C. elegans , the multitude of phenotypes produced by the reduction in IIS are all suppressed in the absence of the worm FOXO transcription factor, DAF‐16, suggesting that they are all under common regulation. It is not yet clear in other animal models whether the activity of FOXOs mediate all of the physiological effects of reduced IIS, especially increased lifespan. We have addressed this issue by examining the effects of reduced IIS in the absence of dFOXO in Drosophila , using a newly generated null allele of dfoxo . We found that the removal of dFOXO almost completely blocks IIS‐dependent lifespan extension. However, unlike in C. elegans , removal of dFOXO does not suppress the body size, fecundity, or oxidative stress resistance phenotypes of IIS‐compromised flies. In contrast, IIS‐dependent xenobiotic resistance is fully dependent on dFOXO activity. Our results therefore suggest that there is evolutionary divergence in the downstream mechanisms that mediate the effects of IIS. They also imply that in Drosophila , additional factors act alongside dFOXO to produce IIS‐dependent responses in body size, fecundity, and oxidative stress resistance and that these phenotypes are not causal in IIS‐mediated extension of lifespan.

Fig. 1 Molecular characterization of the dfoxoΔ94 deletion. (A) Schematic representation of the dfoxo locus. Coding exons are in black and noncoding exons are in white. The position of the P-element insertion (dfoxoBG01018) used to generate the dfoxoΔ94 deletion by imprecise excision and the breakpoints of the dfoxoΔ94 deletion are shown along with the positions of the dfoxo21, dfoxo25, and dfoxow24 mutations. The position of the amplicon amplified by RT-PCR to detect dfoxo mRNA expression is also indicated along with the position of the sequences encoding the peptides from which the dFOXO antibody was generated (marked by *). (B) Quantitative PCR (qPCR) on the Lnk promoter normalized to a control genomic region located 3′ to the Lnk gene to determine the proportion of DNA recovered after chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) using a specific anti-dFOXO antibody from chromatin extracts prepared from wild-type, dfoxo21/dfoxo25 and dfoxoΔ94 homozygous mutant flies. Relative DNA binding was calculated as the proportion of chromatin recovered in the ChIP divided by that in the total chromatin preparation. Data are presented as mean fold change in DNA binding at the Lnk 5′ region compared with the control Lnk 3′ region ± SEM of two (for dfoxo21/dfoxo25) or three biological repeats. (**P <0.05, t-test). (C) Western blot analysis of dFOXO protein expression in extracts prepared from wild-type, dfoxo21/dfoxo25 (21/25) heterozygotes and dfoxoΔ94 (Δ94/Δ94) homozygous mutant flies. Blots were probed with anti-tubulin as a control for protein loading. (D) RT-PCR analysis of dfoxo transcript expression in 7-day-old male and female wild-type (+) and dfoxoΔ94 homozygous mutant (−) flies. M indicates the marker lane. Amplification of the actin5C transcript was used as a control for the RT-PCR protocol.

Fig. 2 Phenotypic analysis of dfoxoΔ94 homozygous mutant flies. (A) Egg-to-adult development time is delayed in both males and females homozygous for the dfoxoΔ94 deletion (dfoxo−) compared with wDahomey controls. Only the eclosion period of the adult flies is shown. Data are shown as percentage of flies eclosing. (For males, n = 114 for wDahomey and n = 106 for dfoxo−. For females, n = 107 for wDahomey and n = 116 for dfoxo−). (B) Homozygous dfoxoΔ94 flies (dfoxo−) have significantly reduced adult body weights and smaller wing sizes than wDahomey controls. Data are represented as means ± SEM (n = 10 for each measurement, **P <0.05, anova). (C) Clonal analysis of the effects of dfoxoΔ94 mutation on cell size and proliferation in the developing wing disk. dfoxoΔ94 mutant cells were generated by mitotic recombination and are marked by the absence of GFP. No obvious differences were observed in clone size nor in the size of in dfoxoΔ94 mutant cells within the clone (GFP-negative cells) compared with adjacent heterozygous cells (GFP-positive cells) outside of the clone. (D) Survival curves of female flies homozygous mutant for dfoxo− mutants (n = 99, median survival = 41 days, maximum survival = 48 days) and wDahomey controls (n = 94, median survival = 61 days, maximum survival = 73 days). dfoxo− mutants are significantly shorter lived than controls (P <0.0001; Log-rank test). Representative of two independent experiments. (E) Average number of eggs laid per dfoxo− mutant 7-day-old female compared with age-matched wDahomey controls. Data are presented as the mean number of eggs laid per female over a 24-h period ± SEM. Eggs were counted from ten separate vials, and each vial contained ten females. dfoxo− females laid significantly fewer eggs than wDahomey controls. (**P <0.05, anova).

Fig. 7 Effects of dFOXO removal on IIS-mediated developmental delay and growth inhibition. (A) Egg-to-adult development time is delayed in females overexpressing the dominant negative insulin receptor (daGAL > UAS-InRDN) irrespective of the presence or absence of dfoxo. Only the eclosion period of the adult flies is shown. Data are shown as percentage of flies eclosing. (n = 118 for daGAL > UAS-InRDN, n = 110 for daGAL > UAS-InRDN dfoxo−; n = 120 for daGAL/+, n = 102 for daGAL/+ dfoxo−; n = 107 for UAS-InRDN/+, n = 82 for UAS-InRDN/+ dfoxo−). (B) Body weights and wing areas as indicators of adult fly body size in females overexpressing the dominant negative insulin receptor (daGAL > UAS-InRDN). Data are presented as means ± SEM (n = 10 for each measurement). daGAL > UAS-InRDN females in both wild-type and dfoxo− backgrounds are significantly reduced in body size compared with control flies (daGAL/+ and UAS-InRDN/+) (**P <0.05, t-test). (C) Body weights and wing areas as indicators of adult fly body size in females with late ablation of the median neurosecretary cells (InsP3GAL > UAS-rpr). Data are presented as means ± SEM (n = 10 for each measurement). InsP3GAL > UAS-rpr females in both wild-type and dfoxo− backgrounds are significantly reduced in body size compared with control flies (InsP3GAL/+ and UAS-rpr/+) (**P <0.05, t-test). (D) Removal of dFOXO rescued the growth inhibition effects of overexpressing the dominant negative insulin receptor in a tissue-restricted manner. UAS-InRDN was specifically expressed in the developing eye using eyGAL. This resulted in a smaller eye compared with control (middle panel compared with left panel). This tissue-restricted growth inhibition was fully rescued in homozygous dfoxoΔ94 (dfoxo−) mutant flies (right panel).

Fig. 8 Gene expression changes in the absence of dFOXO activity. (A) Quantitative RT-PCR analysis of dilp-2, dilp-3, and dilp-5 mRNA expression in female heads isolated from flies of the indicated genotypes normalized to actin5C. Expression of all three dilp transcripts is significantly decreased in dfoxo− flies compared with controls. Data are presented as means ± SEM (n = 5; P <0.05, t-test). (B) Quantitative RT-PCR analysis of 4E-BP mRNA expression normalized to actin5C in female flies treated with 20 mm paraquat. In wild-type flies, 4E-BP mRNA expression was significantly upregulated in response to paraquat treatment. In dfoxoΔ94 homozygous mutant flies, 4E-BP expression was upregulated in comparison with wild-type flies but no further increase in 4E-BP expression was observed when dfoxoΔ94 mutants were treated with paraquat. Data are presented as means ± SEM (n = 5; P <0.05, t-test). (C) Quantitative RT-PCR analysis of 4E-BP mRNA expression in female flies of the indicated genotypes normalized to actin5C. In a wild-type background, 4E-BP mRNA expression was significantly upregulated in daGAL > UAS-InRDN females compared with each of the genetic controls (P <0.05, t-test). In dfoxoΔ94 homozygous mutants, 4E-BP mRNA expression is upregulated in both controls and experimental flies (P <0.05, t-test). However, no further increases in expression were detected in daGAL > UAS-InRDN in a dfoxo mutant background over wild-type background.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
