Flavin-containing monooxygenase 3 (FMO3) gene expression is often upregulated in long-lived murine models. However, the specific relationship between FMO3 and aging remains unknown. Here, we show that 40% calorie restriction (CR), which is considered to be one of the most robust interventions to delay aging progression, markedly upregulates FMO3. Most importantly, upregulation of hepatocyte FMO3 in murine models prevented or reversed hepatic aging. Accordingly, the upregulation of FMO3 mimicked the effects of CR: reduced serum levels of pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-6 and fasting insulin; relief of oxidative stress, with lower hepatic malondialdehyde levels and higher superoxide dismutase activity; reduced serum and hepatic levels of total cholesterol and triglyceride, as well as reduced lipid deposition in the liver; and diminished levels of aging-related markers β-gal and p16. There were also synergistic effects between FMO3 upregulation and CR. Inhibition of autophagy blocked the anti-aging effects of upregulation of hepatocyte FMO3, including reversing the amelioration of the serum and hepatic parameters related to inflammation, oxidative stress, lipid metabolism, liver function, and hepatocyte senescence. Our results suggest that the upregulation of FMO3 mimics CR to prevent or reverse hepatic aging by promoting autophagy.
