| Title |
The germline regulates longevity and somatic repair in a sex-specific manner (RNA-Seq) |
| Organism |
Nothobranchius furzeri |
| Experiment type |
Expression profiling by high throughput sequencing
|
| Summary |
Classical evolutionary theories propose tradeoffs between reproduction, damage repair, and lifespan. However, the specific role of the germline in shaping vertebrate aging remains largely unknown. Here, we use the turquoise killifish (N. furzeri) to genetically arrest germline differentiation at discrete stages, and examine how different ‘flavors’ of infertility impact life-history. We first constructed a comprehensive single-cell gonadal atlas, providing cell-type-specific markers for downstream phenotypic analysis. Next, investigating our genetic models revealed that only germline ablation enhanced female damage repair, while arresting germline differentiation did not. Conversely, germline-ablated males were significantly long-lived, indicating that the mere presence of the germline can negatively affect lifespan. Transcriptomic analysis highlighted enrichment of pro-longevity pathways and genes, with functional conservation in germline-ablated C. elegans. Finally, germline depletion extended male healthspan through rejuvenated metabolic functions. Our results suggest that different germline manipulation paradigms can yield pronounced sexually dimorphic phenotypes, implying alternative mechanisms to classical evolutionary tradeoffs.

| Overall design |
Livers from killifish were used, and each group varied by sex (males or females), age (young or old), and genotype (wild-type or dnd1 mutant).
