    Differential Effects of Tissue-Specific Deletion of BOSS on Feeding Behaviors and Energy Metabolism

    <div><p>Food intake and energy metabolism are tightly controlled to maintain stable energy homeostasis and healthy states. Thus, animals detect their stored energy levels, and based on this, they determine appropriate food intake and meal size. <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i> putative G protein-coupled receptor, Bride of sevenless (BOSS) is a highly evolutionarily conserved protein that responds to extracellular glucose levels in order to regulate energy homeostasis. To address how BOSS regulates energy homeostasis, we characterized a <i>boss</i> mutant by assessing its food intake and stored energy levels. <i>Boss</i> mutants exhibited increased food intake but decreased stored triacylglyceride levels. Using boss-GAL4 drivers, we found that <i>boss</i> is expressed in select tissues that are involved in nutrient sensing and food intake, in a subset of neurons in brain and chemosensory organs, in fat body, and in endocrine cells in gut (enteroendocrine cells). Flies with tissue-specific <i>boss</i> knockdowns in these tissues had abnormal stored energy levels and abnormal food intake. These results suggest that BOSS in either neurons or peripheral nutrient-sensing tissues affects energy homeostasis in ways that relate to the sensing of nutrients and regulation of food intake.</p></div

    <p>(A) Oil-Red-O staining of neutral lipids in the guts of young (10-days) and old (30-days) control and <i>boss</i> mutant female flies. Anterior midgut region stores lipid (arrowhead). (B) Expression of gut lipases (lipA/margo, CG6295, and dlip4) in the intestines of young (day 10) flies, as assessed by qRT-PCR (n = 3, 5 guts per replicate). (C) <i>boss</i> mutant flies are resistant to orlistat treatment. Young adult male <i>boss</i> mutant flies and control flies were fed a diet with or without orlistat (2.0 μM) for 5 days. Afterward TAG levels were determined (n = 5, 10 flies per replicate) and normalized for total protein. Levels are presented as normalized to levels for wild-type flies. Data are mean relative ratios ± SEM, and differences are significant by t-test (*P<0.05).</p

    Loss of BOSS Causes Shortened Lifespan with Mitochondrial Dysfunction in <i>Drosophila</i>

    <div><p>Aging is a universal process that causes deterioration in biological functions of an organism over its lifetime. There are many risk factors that are thought to contribute to aging rate, with disruption of metabolic homeostasis being one of the main factors that accelerates aging. Previously, we identified a new function for the putative G-protein-coupled receptor, Bride of sevenless (BOSS), in energy metabolism. Since maintaining metabolic homeostasis is a critical factor in aging, we investigated whether BOSS plays a role in the aging process. Here, we show that BOSS affects lifespan regulation. <i>boss</i> null mutants exhibit shortened lifespans, and their locomotor performance and gut lipase activity—two age-sensitive markers—are diminished and similar to those of aged control flies. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) production is also elevated in <i>boss</i> null mutants, and their ROS defense system is impaired. The accumulation of protein adducts (advanced lipoxidation end products [ALEs] and advanced glycation end products [AGEs]) caused by oxidative stress are elevated in <i>boss</i> mutant flies. Furthermore, <i>boss</i> mutant flies are sensitive to oxidative stress challenges, leading to shortened lives under oxidative stress conditions. Expression of superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2), which is located in mitochondria and normally regulates ROS removal, was decreased in <i>boss</i> mutant flies. Systemic overexpression of SOD2 rescued <i>boss</i> mutant phenotypes. Finally, we observed that mitochondrial mass was greater in <i>boss</i> mutant flies. These results suggest that BOSS affects lifespan by modulating the expression of a set of genes related to oxidative stress resistance and mitochondrial homeostasis.</p></div

    <p>(A) Expression of <i>hsp22</i> mRNA was measured in 7-, 21-and 35-days-old control and <i>boss</i> mutant flies by using qRT-PCR (n = 3, 10 flies per replicate). Data are means ± SEM (t-test, *P<0.05). (B) DsRed fluorescence was observed in control and <i>boss</i> mutant flies bearing the Hsp22-DsRed reporter. DsRed fluorescence progressively increased during aging in control but not in <i>boss</i> mutant flies. (C) Flies bearing the Hsp22-DsRed reporter were transferred to a diet containing 0.5% H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> for 24 h, and then DsRed fluorescence was observed. Under this oxidative stressful condition, <i>boss</i> mutant flies still failed to exhibit increased <i>hsp22</i> expression, suggesting dysfunctional mitochondria and oxidative stress dysregulation.</p

    <i>Boss</i> mutant flies are hyperphagic.

    <p>Flies expressing boss RNAi in neurons from the elav-GAL4 (A), enteroendocrine cells from proepero-GAL4 (B), and fat body from FB-GAL4 (C) were used for blue-dye ingestion assay. The ingestion of dye was quantified after feeding male flies for 1 h, and thereafter by measuring the absorbance of ingested dye. Two transgene insertions were used: boss-RNAi #1 and #2 (n = 10, 10 flies per replicate). Assays were performed under two conditions [no starvation (upper row) and 24h starvation (lower row)]. Data are represented as mean ±SEM (*P<0.05).</p
