Differential responses to aging amongst the transcriptome and proteome of mesenchymal progenitor populations.

ABSTRACT: The biological aging of mesenchymal stem cells is proposed to contribute to the development of a range of musculoskeletal and systemic diseases associated with older adults, such as osteoporosis, sarcopenia, and frailty. Despite this, little is understood about the specific mechanisms which drive this stem cell exhaustion, with most studies evaluating indirect effects of other aging changes, such as DNA damage, senescence, and inflammaging. In this study, we assess the transcriptomic and proteomic changes in three different populations of mesenchymal progenitor cells from older (50-70 years) and younger (20-40 years) individuals to uncover potential mechanisms driving stem cell exhaustion in mesenchymal tissues. To do this, we harvested primary bone marrow mesenchymal stem and progenitor c
