Dietary Restriction during Development Enlarges Intestinal and Hypodermal Lipid Droplets in Caenorhabditis elegans
Dietary restriction (DR) extends lifespan in man species and modulates evolutionary conserved signalling and metabolic pathways. Most of these studies were done in adult animals. Here we investigated fat phenotypes of C. elegans larvae and adults which were exposed to DR during development. This approach was named "developmental-DR" (dDR). Moderate as well as stringent dDR increased the triglyc...
متن کاملMEC-8 regulates alternative splicing of unc-52 transcripts in C. elegans hypodermal cells.
Previous work has shown that C. elegans MEC-8 is a putative RNA-binding protein that promotes specific alternative splices of unc-52 transcripts. unc-52 encodes homologs of mammalian perlecan that are located extracellularly between muscle and hypodermis and are essential for muscle development in both embryos and larvae. We show that MEC-8 is a nuclear protein found in hypodermis at most stage...
متن کاملDietary manipulation implicates lipid signaling in the regulation of germ cell maintenance in C. elegans.
Reproduction in C. elegans relies on continuously proliferating germ cells which, during germline development, exit mitosis, undergo meiosis and differentiate into gametes. Supplementing the diet of C. elegans with dihommogamma-linolenic acid (20:3n-6, DGLA), a long chain omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid, results in sterile worms that lack germ cells. The effect is remarkably specific for DGL...
متن کاملRegulation of Behavioral Arousal in C. elegans
Animals undergo periods of behavioral quiescence and arousal in response to environmental, circadian, or developmental cues. During larval molts, C. elegans undergoes a period of profound behavioral quiescence termed lethargus. Locomotion quiescence during lethargus was abolished in mutants lacking a neuropeptide receptor (NPR-1), and was reduced in mutants lacking NPR-1 ligands (FLP-18 and -21...
متن کاملNuclei migrate through constricted spaces using microtubule motors and actin networks in C. elegans hypodermal cells.
Cellular migrations through constricted spaces are a crucial aspect of many developmental and disease processes including hematopoiesis, inflammation and metastasis. A limiting factor in these events is nuclear deformation. Here, we establish an in vivo model in which nuclei can be visualized while moving through constrictions and use it to elucidate mechanisms for nuclear migration. C. elegans...
