Project description:Studies in model organisms suggest that aged cells can be functionally rejuvenated, but whether this concept applies to human skin is unclear. Here we apply deep sequencing of RNA 3' ends ("3-seq") to discover the gene expression program associated with human photoaging and intrinsic skin aging (collectively termed "skin aging") and the impact of broadband light (BBL) treatment. We find that skin aging was associated with the significantly altered expression level of 2,265 coding and noncoding RNAs, of which 1,293 became "rejuvenated" after BBL treatment, i.e. more similar in expression level of youthful skin. Rejuvenated genes (RGs) included several known key regulators of organismal longevity and their proximal long non-coding RNAs. Skin aging is not associated with systematic changes in 3' end mRNA processing. Hence, BBL treatment can restore the gene expression pattern of photoaged and intrinsically aged human skin to resemble young skin. In addition, our data reveals a novel set of targets that may lead to new insights into the human skin aging process. Examination of broadband light treated and untreated human skin transcriptomes of 5 women aged 50 years or more. They were compared to the skin transcriptomes of 5 young women aged 30 years or less.

Project description:One goal of regenerative medicine is to rejuvenate tissues and extend lifespan by restoring the function of endogenous aged stem cells. However, evidence that somatic stem cells can be targeted in vivo to extend lifespan is still lacking. Here, we demonstrate that after a short systemic treatment with a specific inhibitor of the small RhoGTPase Cdc42 (CASIN), transplanting aged hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) from treated mice is sufficient to extend the healthspan and lifespan of aged immunocompromised mice without additional treatment. In detail, we show that systemic CASIN treatment improves strength and endurance of aged mice by increasing the myogenic regenerative potential of aged skeletal muscle stem cells. Further, we show that CASIN modifies niche localization and H4K16ac polarity of HSCs in vivo. Single cell profiling reveals changes in HSC transcriptome, which underlie enhanced lymphoid and regenerative capacity in serial transplantation assays. Overall, we provide proof-of-concept evidence that a short systemic treatment to decrease Cdc42 activity improves the regenerative capacity of different endogenous aged stem cells in vivo, and that rejuvenated HSCs exert a broad systemic effect sufficient to extend murine health- and lifespan.

Project description:Skeletal aging and disease are associated with a misbalance in the opposing actions of osteoblasts and osteoclasts that are responsible for maintaining the integrity of bone tissues. Here, we show through detailed functional and single-cell genomic studies that intrinsic aging of bona fide mouse skeletal stem cells (SSCs) alters bone marrow niche signaling and skews bone and blood lineage differentiation leading to fragile bones that regenerate poorly. Aged SSCs have diminished bone and cartilage forming potential but produce higher frequencies of stromal lineages that express high levels of pro-inflammatory and pro-resorptive cytokines. Single-cell transcriptomic studies reveal a distinct population of SSCs in aged mice that gradually outcompete their younger counterparts in the bone marrow niche. While systemic exposure to a youthful circulation through heterochronic parabiosis reduced local expression of inflammatory cytokines, it did not reverse the diminished osteochondrogenic activity of aged SSCs and was insufficient to improve bone mass and skeletal-healing parameters in aged mice. Hematopoietic reconstitution of aged mice with young hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) also did not improve bone integrity and repair. We find that deficient bone regeneration in aged mice could only be reversed by the local application of a combinatorial treatment that re-activates aged SSCs and simultaneously abates crosstalk to hematopoietic cells favoring an inflammatory milieu. This treatment expanded aged SSC pools, reduced osteoclast activity, and enhanced bone healing to youthful levels. Our findings provide mechanistic insight into the complex, multifactorial mechanisms underlying skeletal aging and offer new prospects for rejuvenating the aged skeletal system.

Project description:We show that platelet factors transfer rejuvenating effects of young plasma to the aging brain. Proteomic analysis of plasma from young and aged mice identified age-related changes in platelets. Systemic exposure of aged animals to the platelet fraction of young plasma decreased hippocampal neuroinflammation at a transcriptional and cellular level and ameliorated cognitive impairments. We identified the platelet-derived chemokine CXCL4/Platelet Factor-4 (PF4) as a pro-youthful circulating factor. Systemic PF4 administration decreased age-related neuroinflammation, restored the aging peripheral immune system to a more youthful state, and improved hippocampal-dependent learning and memory in aged mice.

Project description:The decline of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) function upon aging contributes to senescent immune remodeling and to leukemia pathogenesis. Aged HSCs show epigenetic alterations affecting DNA methylation, histone modifications, and show a reduction in the polar distribution of histone 4 lysine 16 acetylation (H4K16ac). Here, we determined the deposition patterns of H4K16ac in young, aged and re-juvenated HSCs using ChIP-seq.

Project description:Hematopoietic aging is associated with decreased hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) self-renewal capacity and increased risk for myelodysplasia and leukemia. Deficient DNA repair contributes to the decline in HSC self-renewal capacity during aging and it remains unclear whether extrinsic signals can rejuvenate aged HSCs. Here, we demonstrate that augmentation of non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) DNA repair in aged HSCs via treatment with epidermal growth factor (EGF) rejuvenates HSC function. Seven day culture of BM CD34-ckit+sca-1+lin- (34-KSL) HSCs from aged C57BL/6 mice with EGF suppressed myeloid skewing and increased production of multipotent CFU-granulocyte, erythroid, monocyte and megakaryocyte (CFU-GEMM) colonies. Aged, EGF-treated HSCs displayed increased donor multilineage engraftment in primary competitively transplanted mice and in secondary mice compared to mice transplanted with aged, control HSCs. Donor cell engraftment within the bone marrow (BM) KSL and SLAM+KSL HSC population was > 2-fold increased in mice transplanted with aged, EGF-treated HSCs. Systemic administration of EGF to aged mice for 6 weeks also increased long term – HSC self-renewal capacity as measured by increased donor bone marrow (BM) competitive repopulation in primary and secondary transplanted mice. Conversely, deletion of EGFR in Scl/Tal1+ hematopoietic cells was associated with increased myeloid skewing and depletion of LT-HSCs in middle aged mice. Mechanistically, EGF treatment decreased DNA damage in aged HSCs through activation of DNA PK-cs, Artemis and NHEJ repair. Inhibition of DNA PK-cs blocked EGF-mediated restoration of multipotent differentiation and suppression of myeloid skewing in aged HSCs, suggesting that the restoration of hematopoietic potential in aged HSCs is dependent on EGF-mediated activation of DNA PK-cs. EGF treatment also converted the transcriptome of aged HSCs from enrichment for genes involved in cell death and survival to genes involved in HSC generation and identity. These data suggest that extrinsic activation of EGFR signaling can restore key functional capacities in aged HSCs.

Project description:Hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) aging is accompanied by hematopoietic reconstitution dysfunction, including loss of regenerative and engraftment ability, myeloid differentiation bias and elevated risks of hematopoietic malignancies. Gut microbiota, a key regulator of host health and immunity, has been recently reported to impact hematopoiesis. However, there is currently no empirical evidence elucidating the direct impact of gut microbiome on aging hematopoiesis. To assess these potential effects, we performed fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) from young mice to aged mice and observed an increment in both the absolute number and the engraftment ability of HSCs. Single cell RNA sequencing depicted overall transcriptional changes of HSCs as well as the bone marrow microenvironment and indicated that gut microbiota from young mice enhanced cell cycle activity of HSCs, attenuated canonical inflammatory signals and mitigated inflammation-associated phenotypes in aging hematopoiesis. Integrated microbiome-metabolome analysis uncovered that FMT reshaped gut microbiota construction and metabolite landscape, while the administration of Lachnospiraceae and tryptophan-associated metabolites promoted the recovery of hematopoiesis and rejuvenated aged HSCs. Together, our results highlighted the paramount importance of the gut microbiota in HSC aging and provided a strong rationale to limit hematopoietic exhaustion and treat hematologic disorders.
