Here, we present a protocol for assessing the impact of a chemogenetic manipulation in a subpopulation of the hypothalamic neurons on aging and lifespan control using a mouse model developed specifically for this purpose. We describe steps for stereotaxic viral injection and assess inter-tissue communication between protein phosphatase 1 regulatory subunit 17 (Ppp1r17)-expressing neurons in the dorsomedial hypothalamus and white adipose tissue. We then detail procedures for lifespan measurements following chemogenetic manipulation in aged mice. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Tokizane et al..

Osteonecrosis of femoral head (ONFH) is characterized not only by ischemic bone tissue necrosis but also by cartilage degeneration, which plays an essential role in the pathogenesis of ONFH. The molecular communication between tissues contributes to disease progression, however the communication between cartilage and subchondral bone in the progression of ONFH remains unclear. In this study, we integrated transcriptomic data from ONFH cartilage and subchondral bone, exploring common differentially expressed genes (DEGs), pathway and function enrichment analyses, the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, and hub genes to comprehensively study molecular integration.

Turandot (Tot) family proteins, which are induced via the JAK/STAT pathway after infection, also suppress lymph gland tumors in mutant larvae. We investigated the potential role of hemocytes in induction in tumor-bearing mutants via immunostaining and RNAi experiments. Normal hemocytes transplanted into mutant larvae were recruited to the tumor and fat body (FB), suggesting that these cells transmit tumor-related information.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of mortality, affecting ∼18 million individuals each year. Obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus in particular, both chronic metabolic disorders, are risk factors for CVD. The salutary effects of physical activity in preventing and ameliorating CVD have long been acknowledged, as it improves glucose and lipid homeostasis, alongside attenuating oxidative damage, increasing mitochondrial function, and ultimately improving cardiac function.

Proteome integrity is vital for survival and failure to maintain it results in uncontrolled protein abundances, misfolding and aggregation which cause proteotoxicity. In multicellular organisms, proteotoxic stress is communicated among tissues to maintain proteome integrity for organismal stress resistance and survival. However, the nature of these signalling molecules and their regulation in extracellular space is largely unknown.
