Article Abstract
Gut homeostasis is maintained by the close interaction between commensal intestinal microbiota and the host, affecting the most complex physiological processes, such as aging. Some commensal bacteria with the potential to promote healthy aging arise as attractive candidates for the development of pro-longevity probiotics. Here, we showed that heat-inactivated human commensal BGHV110 (BGHV110) extends the lifespan of and improves age-related physiological features, including locomotor function and lipid metabolism. Mechanistically, we found that BGHV110 promotes HLH-30/TFEB-dependent autophagy to delay aging, as longevity assurance was completely abolished in the mutant lacking HLH-30, a major autophagy regulator in . Moreover, we observed that BGHV110 partially decreased the content of lipid droplets in an HLH-30-dependent manner and, at the same time, slightly increased mitochondrial activity. In summary, this study demonstrates that specific factors from commensal bacteria can be used to exploit HLH-30/TFEB-mediated autophagy in order to promote longevity and fitness of the host.

The conserved mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF) is known for protecting dopaminergic neurons and functioning in various other tissues. Previously, we showed that null mutants exhibit defects such as increased endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, dopaminergic neurodegeneration, and abnormal protein aggregation. These findings suggest an essential role for MANF in cellular processes.

Sexual dimorphism affects various biological functions, including immune responses. However, the mechanisms by which sex alters immunity remain largely unknown. Using as a model species, we showed that males exhibit enhanced immunity against various pathogenic bacteria through the upregulation of HLH-30 (Helix Loop Helix 30/TFEB (transcription factor EB)), a transcription factor crucial for macroautophagy/autophagy.

The conserved mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF) protects dopaminergic neurons but also functions in several other tissues. Previously, we showed that null mutants have increased ER stress, dopaminergic neurodegeneration, protein aggregation, slower growth, and a reduced lifespan. The multiple requirements of MANF in different systems suggest its essential role in regulating cellular processes.

Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved intracellular system that maintains cellular homeostasis by degrading and recycling damaged cellular components. The transcription factor HLH-30/TFEB-mediated autophagy has been reported to regulate tolerance to bacterial infection, but less is known about the bona fide bacterial effector that activates HLH-30 and autophagy. Here, we reveal that bacterial membrane pore-forming toxin (PFT) induces autophagy in an HLH-30-dependent manner in Caenorhabditis elegans.
