- Abstract
- Low-temperature exposure prolongs lifespans and changes lipid metabolism but the relationship between longevity and lipids is largely unknown. Here, we examine the relationship between longevity and lipid metabolism at low temperatures (20 degrees C and 15 degrees C) compared with a 25 degrees C control. Life parameters, fatty acid composition, and transcriptome changes were analyzed in the monogonont rotifer Brachionus koreanus. In vivo life-parameter data indicate that lifespan and fecundity exhibit opposite correlations at low temperatures. The amount of total fatty acids decreased significantly at low temperatures but areas stained with Nile red increased at 15 degrees C compared with the control. From RNA-seq-based transcriptional analysis, gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway-enrichment analysis were conducted. GO analysis shows that telomeres were positively regulated at low temperatures. KEGG pathway-enrichment results indicate that gene expression involved in lipid metabolism was activated with increased glycerol and/or choline synthesis at low temperatures. We suggest that reduced reproductive rates are associated with a decrease of lecithin, which is involved in the conversion of glycerol to triacylglycerol in response to low temperatures by lowering the temperature of body fluid.
