Does calorie restriction rescue age-related changes in isoform expression? Kyle Satterstrom September 10, 2015
Historical thoughts on longevity Luigi Cornaro (d. 1566)
Calorie restriction • Mice with various percent reductions in calorie intake Weindruch et al., 1986, J. Nutr. 116:641
Adaptation to reduced calorie intake • Metabolic reprogramming • ↓Glycolysis • ↓Fatty acid storage • ↑ Fatty acid oxidation • ↑ Mitochondrial biogenesis • Stress response • ↑ Antioxidant defenses • ↑ DNA repair • Rescue of age-related changes in gene expression Fat oxidation Glucose metabolism Anderson and Weindruch, 2009; Huang et al., 2010
RNA-seq of calorie-restricted mice • High-throughput RNA sequencing to identify effects of CR on isoform-specific expression in liver
RNA-seq experimental overview Tissue RNA Extraction DNAse Treatment Library Construction Purity Assay Purity Assay High-Throughput Sequencing
Data processing overview Millions of short reads Alignment to genome Quantification of gene expression Calculation of read depth at each bp Analysis of specific start site usage, isoform usage
“Isoform” score • Quantifies difference in normalized read distribution between a pair of samples • i.e., one score for aged control vs aged CR liver • Equal to number of bases with significantly different normalized read distribution at 5’ end (400 bp) of transcript • Christodoulou et al., 2014
SEC31a 5’ 3’ Transcription start site Alternative transcription start site Clear change in relative start site usage with age, reversed by CR
Conclusions • CR reverses many age-related changes in gene expression • CR can also reverse age-related changes in isoform usage

SIRT3 transcripts 8 bp insert used twice as often in liver as in heart (H/L = 0.48)
SIRT3 transcripts • 8 bp insert: Higher in liver, lower in heart • Inclusion causes M1, M2 to hit premature stop codon Heart is more permissive of letting M1, M2 isoforms reach full length • M1, M2 isoforms thought to localize to mitochondria more efficiently than M3 isoform SIRT3 in heart more efficient at reaching mitochondria?
Sir2 • Yeast Genetic mimic of CR, but deleted Sir2 Genetic mimic of CR Lin et al., 2000
