Mutating miR-71 drastically reduces the survival rate of animals in L1 diapause, and the effect can be suppressed by mutations of insulin receptor pathway genes age-1 and unc-31. Among short-lived miRNA mutants, a mir-71 deletion mutant, mir-71(n4115) (referred to as mir-71(lf) hereafter), displayed a severe reduction in L1 starvation survival rate (Table S1 and Fig. 2A). We found that the reduced survival rate of ain-1 was suppressed by either reduction of age-1 function or loss of unc-31 function (Fig. 1 B and C), suggesting that a significant portion of the overall miRNA functions in L1 diapause is upstream of, or in parallel to, the InsR pathway. In this study, we addressed the questions of whether and how miRNAs impact developmental arrest and the long-term survival of early L1 stage worms in response to food starvation. Here we show that compromising overall microRNA (miRNA) functions or mutating certain individual miRNAs impairs the long-term survival of nematodes during starvation-induced L1 diapause.

The roles of InsRs have also been implicated in arresting the cell cycle in germ cells and a portion of somatic cells during L1 diapause (2, 4).

We recommend that incorporating trait-based recovery dynamics is essential for predicting ecosystem stability under compound climate extremes.

Furthermore, a recent study suggests that the expression of certain miRNAs is differentially regulated by starvation-induced dauer diapause (15). Consistent with these ideas, several recent lines of evidence suggest that miRNA let-7 and the heterochronic genes lin-42 and hbl-1 are required to regulate the starvation-induced dauer diapause (10–12) and that a number of miRNAs including lin-4 and mir-71 are involved in regulating life span (13, 14). Furthermore, worms that are long-lived due to dietary restriction or decreased mitochondrial respiratory rates are short-lived during L1 diapause, suggesting that the mechanisms controlling L1 starvation survival are different at least in some aspects from those controlling aging (3).

- (C) Fluorescence and differential interference contrast (DIC) images showing that the age-1 3′UTR reporter was repressed in mir-71(+) worms (3/4 transgenic lines) but not in mir-71(lf) worms (4/4 transgenic lines).

- MiR-71 represses the expression of age-1 and unc-31 through the actions on their 3′UTR, but miR-71 is not required for arresting M cell division during L1 diapause.
- The roles of InsRs have also been implicated in arresting the cell cycle in germ cells and a portion of somatic cells during L1 diapause (2, 4).

Furthermore, the observed derepression of individual genes by mir-71(lf) seemed too weak to account for the phenotype, consistent with the idea that a prominent phenotype of an miRNA mutation is caused by the collective effect of changing expression in many genes, an important property of miRNA-mediated gene regulation. (F) Fluorescence and DIC images showing that an hbl-1 3′UTR reporter was repressed in mir-71(+) worms and slightly derepressed in mir-71(lf) mutants. (E) DIC images showing that hbl-1(RNAi) caused precocious VPC divisions in late L2/early L3 in both wild-type and mir-71(lf) worms recovered from 4 d of L1 starvation. Note that the daf-16(lf) worms recovering from 3 d of L1 starvation displayed a ∼12-h delay in overall development and that the mir-71(lf); daf-16(lf) double mutants displayed an ∼24-h delay. (C) Bar graph showing that the delayed VPC timing defects of mir-71(lf) worms was suppressed by an unc-31(lf) mutation and partially suppressed by an age-1(rf) mutation.

However, it remains unclear how, and to what extent, miRNAs coordinate animal survival and development in response to stresses. However, the mechanisms that coordinate the long-term survival, overall developmental arrest, and reinitiation remain to be investigated. However, when newly hatched L1 worms encounter an environment with no food, developmental programs arrest and the worm enters L1 diapause. When late, first larval stage (L1) worms sense unfavorable conditions, they enter an alternative and long-lived larval stage called dauer larvae (or dauer diapause). The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans responds to starvation by entering developmental arrest at multiple stages of its life cycle (1). Extreme climate events such as droughts and heatwaves are intensifying under climate change, yet their combined effects on plant recovery remain unclear.

(A) The mir-71(n4115, lf) mutant displayed severe reduction in L1 starvation survival rate, and the reduced survival rate of mir-71(lf) was suppressed by a reduction-of-function allele of age-1(hx546). (C) The reduced L1 starvation survival rate of ain-1(lf) mutants was significantly suppressed by a null allele of unc-31. Compromising overall miRNA function dramatically reduces the survival rate of L1 worms in starvation-induced diapause, and the effect can be significantly suppressed by an age-1/PI3K mutation.
