High-content phenotypic analysis of a C. elegans recombinant inbred population identifies genetic and molecular regulators of lifespan

Elena Katsyuba, Johan Auwerx, Laurent Mouchiroud, Maroun Bou Sleiman, Yang Li, Gaby El Alam, Wen Gao, Jean-David Horacio Morel, Xiaoxu Li, Amélia Lalou

Lifespan is influenced by complex interactions between genetic and environmental factors. Studying those factors in model organisms of a single genetic background limits their translational value for humans. Here, we mapped lifespan determinants in 85 C. e ...

Hepatic lipid overload triggers biliary epithelial cell activation via E2Fs

Kristina Schoonjans, Johan Auwerx, Alessia Perino, Ece Yildiz, Giovanni Sorrentino, Gaby El Alam, Antoine Jalil

During severe or chronic hepatic injury, biliary epithelial cells (BECs) undergo rapid activation into proliferating progenitors, a crucial step required to establish a regenerative process known as ductular reaction (DR). While DR is a hallmark of chronic ...

Tetracycline-induced mitohormesis mediates disease tolerance against influenza

Elena Katsyuba, Alexis Rapin, Johan Auwerx, Nicola Harris, Adrienne Joëlle Laurence Mottis, Davide D'Amico, Yang Li, Gaby El Alam

Mitohormesis defines the increase in fitness mediated by adaptive responses to mild mitochondrial stress. Tetracyclines inhibit not only bacterial but also mitochondrial translation, thus imposing a low level of mitochondrial stress on eukaryotic cells. We ...

Article Multi-omics analysis identifies essential regulators of mitochondrial stress response in two wild-type C. elegans strains

Johan Auwerx, Maroun Bou Sleiman, Yang Li, Gaby El Alam, Wen Gao, Amélia Lalou

The mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPRmt) is a promising pharmacological target for aging and age-related diseases. However, the integrative analysis of the impact of UPRmt activation on different signaling layers in animals with different geneti ...

Bile Acids Signal via TGR5 to Activate Intestinal Stem Cells and Epithelial Regeneration

Kristina Schoonjans, Maroun Bou Sleiman, Alessia Perino, Ece Yildiz, Giovanni Sorrentino, Gaby El Alam

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Renewal and patterning of the intestinal epithelium is coordinated by intestinal stem cells (ISCs); dietary and metabolic factors provide signals to the niche that control ISC activity. Bile acids (BAs), metabolites in the gut, signal nu ...
