Dietary restriction (DR) extends lifespan in various species and also slows the onset of age-related diseases. Previous studies from flies and yeast have demonstrated that the target of rapamycin (TOR) pathway is essential for longevity phenotypes resulting from DR. TOR is a conserved protein kinase that regulates growth and metabolism in response to nutrients and growth factors. While some of the downstream targets of TOR have been implicated in regulating lifespan, it is still unclear whether additional targets of this pathway also modulate lifespan. It has been shown that the hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) is one of the targets of the TOR pathway in mammalian cells. HIF-1 is a transcription factor complex that plays key roles in oxygen homeostasis, tumor formation, glucose metabolism, cell survival, and inflammatory response. Here, we describe a novel role for HIF-1 in modulating lifespan extension by DR in Caenorhabditis elegans. We find that HIF-1 deficiency results in extended lifespan, which overlaps with that by inhibition of the RSKS-1/S6 kinase, a key component of the TOR pathway. Using a modified DR method based on variation of bacterial food concentrations on solid agar plates, we find that HIF-1 modulates longevity in a nutrient-dependent manner. The hif-1 loss-of-function mutant extends lifespan under rich nutrient conditions but fails to show lifespan extension under DR. Conversely, a mutation in egl-9, which increases HIF-1 activity, diminishes the lifespan extension under DR. This deficiency is rescued by tissue-specific expression of egl-9 in specific neurons and muscles. Increased lifespan by hif-1 or DR is dependent on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress regulator inositol-requiring protein-1 (IRE-1) and is associated with lower levels of ER stress. Therefore, our results demonstrate a tissue-specific role for HIF-1 in the lifespan extension by DR involving the IRE-1 ER stress pathway. Dietary restriction (DR) is one of the most robust environmental manipulations that extend lifespan in various species. DR has also been shown to slow the onset of a number of age-related diseases. Studies in model organisms like C. elegans can be used to uncover biological mechanisms that determine the beneficial effects of DR. Previous studies suggest that the nutrient-sensing target of rapamycin (TOR) pathway is required for DR-mediated lifespan extension. However, the downstream mechanisms by which TOR modulates lifespan remain unclear. In mammalian cells, TOR and the downstream S6 kinase (S6K) activate expression of the hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1), which is frequently up-regulated in various tumors. Using C. elegans as a model system, we characterized novel functions of HIF-1 in aging. We find that inhibition of HIF-1 extends lifespan under rich nutrient conditions, whereas enhanced levels of HIF-1 only allow partial lifespan extension by DR. We also demonstrated that increased lifespan by hif-1 or DR depends on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress regulator inositol-requiring protein-1 (IRE-1) and is associated with lower levels of ER stress, which is caused by overloading of misfolded/unfolded proteins to ER. Thus, our results support the idea that HIF-1–mediated changes in protein homeostasis play a key role in the lifespan extension by DR.
