PG - 2967-2981 LID - 10.1007/s11357-023-00849-8 [doi] AB - Caloric restriction (CR), which extends lifespan in rodents, leads to increased hepatic fatty acid beta-oxidation and oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), with parallel changes in proteins and their mRNAs. Genetic mutants that extend lifespan, including growth hormone receptor knockout (GHRKO) and Snell dwarf (SD) mice, have lower respiratory quotient, suggesting increased reliance on fatty acid oxidation, but the molecular mechanism(s) of this metabolic shift have not yet been worked out. Here we show that both GHRKO and SD mice have significantly higher mRNA and protein levels of enzymes involved in mitochondrial and peroxisomal fatty acid beta-oxidation. In addition, multiple subunits of OXPHOS complexes I-IV are upregulated in GHRKO and SD livers, and Complex V subunit ATP5a is upregulated in liver of GHRKO mice. Expression of these genes is regulated by a group of nuclear receptors and transcription factors including peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) and estrogen-related receptors (ERRs). We found that levels of these nuclear receptors and their co-activator PGC-1alpha were unchanged or downregulated in liver of GHRKO and SD mice. In contrast, NCOR1, a co-repressor for the same receptors, was significantly downregulated in the two long-lived mouse models, suggesting a plausible mechanism for the changes in FAO and OXPHOS proteins. Hepatic levels of HDAC3, a co-factor for NCOR1 transcriptional repression, were also downregulated. The role of NCOR1 is well established in the contexts of cancer and metabolic disease, but may provide new mechanistic insights into metabolic control in long-lived mouse models. CI - (c) 2023.
