Oxidative stress has been hypothesized to play a role in normal aging. The SKN-1 transcription factor regulates the response to oxidative stress and also is necessary for intestinal development in Caenorhabditis elegans. Using transcriptome analysis, we found that oxidative stress induces almost a thousand genes, including the antioxidant and heat-shock responses, as well as genes responsible for xenobiotic detoxification. There were also 392 down-regulated genes including many involved in metabolic homeostasis, organismal development, and reproduction. Many of these oxidative-stress-induced transcriptional changes are dependent on SKN-1 action; the induction of the heat-shock response is not. When we used RNAi to inhibit genes, we found that most had no effect on either resistance to oxidative stress or longevity; however two SKN-1-dependent genes, nlp-7 and cup-4, that were up-regulated by oxidative stress were found to be required for resistance to oxidative stress and for normal life span. nlp-7 encodes a neuropeptide-like protein, expressed in neurons, while cup-4 encodes a coelomocyte-specific, ligand-gated ion channel. RNAi of nlp-7 or cup-4 increased sensitivity to oxidative stress and reduced lifespan. Among down-regulated genes, only inhibition of ent-1, a nucleoside transporter, led to increased resistance to oxidative stress; inhibition had no effect on lifespan. In contrast, RNAi of nhx-2, a Na+/H+ exchanger, extended lifespan significantly without affecting sensitivity to oxidative stress. These findings show that oxidative stress causes a transcriptional shift from growth and maintenance towards the activation of cellular defense mechanisms; many of these transcriptional alterations are SKN-1-dependent.
