A team led by Amsterdam UMC shows that inhibiting mitochondrial translation in C. elegans elevates the decarboxylase C32E8.9, driving an immuno-metabolic stress program. This mechanism engages TGF-β signaling and lipid remodeling to extend worm healthspan and lifespan.

Key points

• Inhibition of mitochondrial ribosomal protein mrps-5 in C. elegans activates an immuno-metabolic stress response, extending lifespan.
• The ethylmalonyl-CoA decarboxylase ortholog C32E8.9 is required for longevity by mediating immune activation and lipid remodeling.
• TGF-β co-transcription factor sma-4 functions downstream of C32E8.9 to drive protective immune responses without altering UPRmt.
• Lipidomics reveals C32E8.9-dependent shifts toward longer, more unsaturated triglycerides, linking fatty acid metabolism to longevity.

Why it matters: This discovery unveils an immuno-metabolic mechanism for lifespan extension independent of classical UPRmt, offering new therapeutic targets to modulate aging.
