Aged skeletal stem cells during fracture healing

ABSTRACT: 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.

Regulation of aged skeletal muscle regeneration by extracellular

Project description:Heterochronic blood exchange (HBE) has demonstrated that circulating factors restore youthful features to aged tissues. However, the systemic mediators of those rejuvenating effects remain poorly defined. We show that the beneficial effect of young blood on aged muscle regeneration was diminished when serum was depleted of extracellular vesicles (EVs). Whereas EVs from young animals rejuvenate aged cell bioenergetics and skeletal muscle regeneration, aging shifts EV subpopulation heterogeneity and compromises downstream benefits on recipient cells. Machine learning classifiers revealed that aging shifts the nucleic acid, but not protein, fingerprint of circulating EVs. Alterations in sub-population heterogeneity were accompanied by declines in transcript levels of the pro-longevity protein, α-Klotho, and injection of EVs improved muscle regeneration in a Klotho mRNA-dependent manner. These studies demonstrate that EVs play a key role in the rejuvenating effects of HBE and that Klotho transcripts within EVs phenocopy the effects of young serum on aged skeletal muscle.

Excess glucocorticoids inhibit murine bone turnover via modulating the immunometabolism of the skeletal microenvironment

Project description:Elevated bone resorption and diminished bone formation have been recognized as the primary features of glucocorticoid-associated skeletal disorders. However, the direct effects of excess glucocorticoids on bone turnover remains unclear. Here, we explored the outcomes of exogenous glucocorticoid treatment on bone loss and delayed fracture healing in mice and found that reduced bone turnover was a dominant feature, resulting in a net loss of bone mass. We investigated the single-cell gene expression profiles of these two models. In the glucocorticoid-induced bone loss model, we sequenced the cell population digested from the bone surface. In the glucocorticoid-associated fracture healing model, we sequenced the cell population digested from the callus. Overall, the cell population on the bone surface was predominantly composed of hematopoietic cells, while only a small fraction represented the bone progenitor cells. In the fracture healing model, the callus contained a significant number of osteogenic and osteoclastic lineage cells. We primarily analyzed the gene expression of functional genes in the fracture healing model and characterized the metabolic profiles. These data provide insights into the multifactorial metabolic mechanisms by which glucocorticoids generate skeletal disorders.

P-selectin identifies molecularly and functionally aged long-term hematopoietic stem cells in Mus musculus C57BL/6 female mice

Project description:Aged hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) display myeloid-biased differentiation and reduced regenerative potential. In this study, we uncover that P-selectin (Selp) marks a subset of aged HSCs with reduced repopulation capacity. This population of HSCs expresses a prominent aging transcriptome. Overexpression of Selp in young HSCs impaired long-term reconstitution potential and repressed erythropoiesis. We show that IL-1β is elevated in aged bone marrow and administration of IL-1β induces expression of Selp and other aging-associated genes in HSCs. Finally, we demonstrate that transplantation of aged HSCs into young recipients restores a young-like transcriptome, specifically by repressing pro-inflammatory pathways, highlighting the important role of the bone marrow microenvironment in HSC aging.

Young blood-derived platelet factors abate inflammation and rescue recognition in aging.

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.

Transcription profiling by array of human bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells from healthy young and elderly individuals

Project description:In the human hematopoietic system, aging is associated with decreased bone marrow cellularity, decreased adaptive immune system function, and increased incidence of anemia and other hematological disorders and malignancies. Recent studies in mice suggest that changes within the hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) population during aging contribute significantly to the manifestation of these age-associated hematopoietic pathologies. While the mouse HSC population has been shown to change both quantitatively and functionally with age, changes in the human HSC and progenitor cell populations during aging have not yet been characterized. Gene expression profiling revealed that aged human HSC transcriptionally up-regulate genes associated with cell cycle, myeloid lineage specification, and myeloid malignancies. These age-associated alterations in the frequency, function, and gene expression profile of human HSC are significantly similar to those changes observed in mouse HSC, suggesting that hematopoietic aging is an evolutionarily conserved process. In order to elucidate the properties of an aged human hematopoietic system that may predispose to age-associated hematopoietic dysfunction, we evaluated HSC and other hematopoietic progenitor populations from healthy, hematologically normal young and elderly human bone marrow samples. We found that aged human HSC increase in frequency, are less quiescent, and exhibit myeloid-biased differentiation potential compared to young HSC.

Aging of mouse spermatogonial stem cells by Wnt7b-Jnk pathway activation [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Because spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) are virtually immortal by serial transplantation, SSC decrease in aged testes is considered to be caused by deteriorated microenvironment. Here we report cell-intrinsic mode of SSC aging. SSCs cultured for 5 years proliferate more actively than young SSCs and showed enhanced glycolytic activity but remain euploid and exhibited stable androgenetic imprinting patterns. Moreover, the aged SSCs kept constant SSC activity despite shortened telomeres. The increased proliferative activity of aged SSCs was caused by Wnt7b expression, which likely occurred due to decreased polycomb complex2 activity. Aberrant Wnt7b expression not only decreased reactive oxygen species levels and mitochondria activity but also stimulated glycolysis via c-jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) activation. Analysis of SSCs in Klotho aging mouse model also confirmed hyperactivation of JNK pathway and increased glycolysis. Therefore, not only SSC microenvironment but also intrinsic activation of Wnt7b-mediated glycolysis plays important roles in SSC aging.
