AP-1 is a regulatory transcription factor of inflammaging in the murine kidney and liver

ABSTRACT: Aging is characterized by a chronic low-grade inflammation in multiple tissues, also termed as “inflammaging”, which represents a significant risk factor for many aging-related chronic diseases. However, the mechanisms and regulatory networks behind inflammaging across different tissues have not been fully elucidated. Here, by profiling transcriptomes and epigenomes of the kidney and liver from young and aged mice, we found that activation of inflammatory response was the conserved signature across tissues. Through integrative analysis, we revealed links between transcriptome change and chromatin dynamics, and identified AP-1 and ETS family transcription factors (TFs) were potential regulators of inflammaging. Further in-situ validation showed AP-1 was mainly activated in aged hepatic and renal cells, while enhanced ETS was almost caused by elevated infiltration of macrophages, indicating these TFs had different mechanisms in inflammaging. Functional data showed genetic knockdown of Fos, a major member of AP-1, significantly attenuated inflammatory response in aged kidneys and livers. Taken together, our analysis revealed conserved signatures and regulatory TFs of inflammaging in the kidney and liver, providing novel targets for the development of anti-aging interventions.

Revealing regulatory transcription factors of aging in the kidney and kidney through multi-omics analysis

Project description:Aging is accompanied by a gradual loss of systemic metabolic homeostasis, which is maintained by multiple-organs, especially the kidney and kidney. However, a systematic study of the regulatory networks and regulatory transcription factors (TFs) of aging in the kidney and kidney remains lacking. Here, we performed an integrated analysis of multi-omics datasets in the kidney and kidney from young and aged mice, including RNA-seq, reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (RRBS) and ATAC-seq datasets, which indicated that enhanced inflammation and dysregulated metabolism were conserved signatures in aged kidney and kidney in both the transcriptome and epigenome. Transcription factor and regulatory network analysis indicated that activation of AP-1 and SPI1 was responsible for enhanced inflammation, and down-regulation of HNFs and PPARs contributed to dysregulated metabolism in aged kidney and kidney. Importantly, we found that the activation of AP-1 was cellular autonomous in aged hepatic and renal cells. However, enhanced SPI1 was caused by elevated infiltration of macrophages. Importantly, inhibition of AP-1 with small molecule combination attenuated inflammation phenotypes of aging in vivo and in vitro. Taken together, our analysis revealed common signatures and regulatory TFs of aging in the kidney and kidney, providing novel targets for the development of anti-aging interventions.

Organ-specific inflammaging in mice

Project description:Aging is accompanied by chronic, low-grade systemic inflammation, termed inflammaging, a main driver of age-associated diseases. Such sterile inflammation is typically characterized by elevated levels of pro-inflammatory mediators, such as cytokines and reactive oxygen species causing organ damage. Lipid mediators play important roles in the fine-tuning of both the promotion and the resolution of inflammation. Yet, it remains unclear how lipid mediators fit within the concept of inflammaging and how their biosynthesis and function is affected by aging. Here, we provide comprehensive signature profiles of inflammatory markers in organs afflicted with inflammation of young and old C57BL/6 mice. We reveal an organ-specific footprint of inflammation-related cytokines, chemokines and lipid mediators, which are distinctively affected by aging. While some organs are characterized by a pronounced pro-inflammatory microenvironment and impaired resolution during aging, others display elevated levels of pro-resolving mediators or an overall decrease in inflammatory signaling. Our results demonstrate that it proves difficult to establish a unifying concept for alterations of immunomodulatory mediators as consequence of aging and that organ specificity needs to be considered. Moreover, our data imply that inclusion of lipid mediators into the concept of inflammaging provides a comprehensive tool to characterize the inflammatory microenvironment during aging on a broader and yet, more detailed scope.

Aged gut microbiota contributes to systemical inflammaging after transfer to germ-free mice

Project description:Advanced age is associated with chronic low-grade inflammation, which is usually referred to as inflammaging. Elderly are also known to have an altered gut microbiota composition. However, whether inflammaging is a cause or consequence of an altered gut microbiota composition is not clear. In this study gut microbiota from young or old conventional mice was transferred to young germ-free mice. Four weeks after gut microbiota transfer immune cell populations in spleen, Peyer’s patches, and mesenteric lymph nodes from conventionalized germ-free mice were analyzed by flow cytometry. In addition, whole-genome gene expression in the ileum was analyzed by microarray. Gut microbiota composition of donor and recipient mice was analyzed with 16S rDNA sequencing. Here we show by transferring aged microbiota to young germ-free mice that certain bacterial species within the aged microbiota promote inflammaging. This effect was associated with lower levels of Akkermansia and higher levels of TM7 bacteria and Proteobacteria in the aged microbiota after transfer. The aged microbiota promoted inflammation in the small intestine in the germ-free mice and enhanced leakage of inflammatory bacterial components into the circulation was observed. Moreover, the aged microbiota promoted increased T cell activation in the systemic compartment. In conclusion, these data indicate that the gut microbiota from old mice contributes to inflammaging after transfer to young germ-free mice.

microRNA-252 and FoxO repress inflammaging by a dual inhibitory mechanism on Dawdle mediated TGF-β pathway in Drosophila muscle

Project description:The abstract for the manuscript Inflammaging refers to low-grade, chronically activated innate immunity that negatively impacts adult survival. However, little is known about the intrinsic signaling pathway that upregulates innate immune genes during aging. Here using Drosophila melanogaster, we profile the microRNA targetomes in young and aged animals, and reveal Dawdle (Daw), an activin-like ligand of the TGF-beta pathway, as a physiological target of microRNA-252 (miR-252). We show that miR-252 cooperates with the transcriptional regulation of Daw by Forkhead box O (FoxO), a conserved transcriptional factor implicated in aging, at the post-transcriptional levels. Unopposed Daw triggers hyper activation of innate immune genes coupled with a catastrophic decline in organismal survival. Single-cell sequencing analysis describes a non-cell autonomous regulation between Daw and the induction of innate immune genes in the muscle. We further determine the downstream cascade by which Daw signaling leads to increased Kenny /IKKgamma protein, which in turn activates Relish/NF-kappaB protein and consequentially upregulation of innate immune genes. Finally, while aging leads to a decline in FoxO activity, transgenic increase of miR-252 and FoxO pathway factors in wild-type Drosophila extends lifespan and mitigates the induction of innate immune genes in aging. Together, we propose that miR-252 and FoxO repress inflammaging by cooperative inhibition of Daw mediated TGF-beta pathway.

Stat1 activation, through systemic interferon signaling, and upregulation of innate immune system receptors drives inflammaging, that is ameliorated by dietary restriction intervention [ATAC-seq]

Project description:Aging is the result of an accumulation of molecular damages, driven by multiple factors like metabolic and oxidative stress, (epi)genetic alterations, and microbiome dysbiosis. In addition, aging is characterized by a chronic, low-grade inflammation known as inflammaging that represents a high significant risk factor for most, if not all, age-related diseases. Dietary restriction (DR) is the best-known non-invasive method to ameliorate the aging phenotype in many organisms. While it has been shown that DR reduces the inflammation in some tissues, the molecular mechanisms in old individuals are still largely unknown. Here we identify a multi-tissue gene network which regulates the inflammaging and that is ameliorated by DR. Using transcriptional profiling (RNA-seq), we found that aging upregulates the innate immune system receptor together with the activation of a systemic interferon (IFN) signaling through the Interferon Regulatory Factors (Irf), inflammatory cytokines and finally Stat1 transcription factor. Our results suggest that DR is able to ameliorate inflammaging by downregulating the expression and the activity of almost all the components of this gene network. In addition, chromatin accessibility genome-wide analysis showed that the binding site of Irf and Stat1 in the promoter of their target genes are more open in aging and become closer upon DR treatment indicating a transcriptional control of the inflammaging phenotype involving epigenetic modifications. Our results provide a comprehensive understanding of the molecular network regulating the inflammation in aging and DR and present novel anti-inflammaging therapeutic targets.

Aged intestinal stem cells propagate cell-intrinsic sources of inflammaging in mice [ATAC_invivo]

Project description:Low-grade chronic inflammation is considered a hallmark of ageing and associated with impaired tissue function and development of disease. However, how cell-intrinsic and -extrinsic factors interact to establish this phenotype, termed inflammaging, remains poorly understood. We addressed this question in the mouse intestinal epithelium, using organoid cultures to dissect stem cell-intrinsic and -extrinsic sources of increased inflammatory signaling upon ageing. At the single-cell level, we found that inflammaging establishes differently in cells along the crypt-villus axis, including intestinal stem cells (ISCs). Importantly, the inflammaging phenotype was stably propagated by aged ISCs in organoid cultures and associated with increased chromatin accessibility of inflammation-associated loci in vivo and ex vivo, indicating a cell-intrinsic memory of inflammation. Mechanistically, we show that expression of inflammaging genes is dependent on STAT1 signaling. Together, our data reveal that inflammaging in the intestine is promoted by a cell-intrinsic mechanism, stably propagated by ISCs and associated with a disbalance in immune homeostasis.

Shared Transcriptomic Signatures of Inflammaging Among Diverse Strains of Drosophila melanogaster

Project description:Background: A prominent hallmark of aging is inflammaging—the increased expression of innate immune genes without identifiable infection. Model organisms with shorter lifespans, such as the fruit fly, provide an essential platform for probing the mechanisms of inflammaging. Multiple groups have reported that, like mammalian models, old flies have significantly higher levels of expression of anti-microbial peptide genes. However, whether some of these genes—or any others—can serve as reliable markers for assessing and comparing inflammaging in different strains remains unclear. Methods and Results: We compared RNA-Seq datasets generated by different groups. Although the fly strains used in these studies differ significantly, we found that they share a core group of genes with strong aging-associated expression. In addition to anti-microbial peptide genes, we identified other genes that have prominently increased expression in old flies, especially SPH93. We further showed that machine learning models can be used to predict the “inflammatory age” of the fruit fly.

Inhibiting NLRP3 Signaling in Aging Podocytes Improves Their Life- and Health-span

Project description:The decrease in the podocyte’s lifespan and health-span that typify healthy kidney aging cause a decrease in their normal structure, physiology and function. The ability to halt and even reverse these changes becomes clinically relevant when disease is superimposed on an aged kidney. RNA-sequencing of podocytes from middle-aged mice showed an inflammatory phenotype with increases in the NLRP3 inflammasome, signaling for IL2/Stat5, IL6 and TNF, interferon gamma response, allograft rejection and complement, consistent with inflammaging. Furthermore, injury-induced NLRP3 signaling in podocytes was further augmented in aged mice compared to young ones. The NLRP3 inflammasome (NLRP3, Caspase-1, IL1ß IL-18) was also increased in podocytes of middle-aged humans. Higher transcript expression for NLRP3 in human glomerular was accompanied by reduced podocyte density and increased global glomerulosclerosis and glomerular volume. Pharmacological inhibition of NLRP3 with MCC950, or gene deletion, reduced podocyte senescence and the genes typifying aging in middle-aged mice, which was accompanied by an improved podocyte lifespan and health-span. Moreover, modeling the injury-dependent increase in NLRP3 signaling in human kidney organoids confirmed the anti-senescence effect of MC9950. Finally, the impact of NLRP3 also impacted liver aging. Together, these results suggest a critical role for the NLRP3 inflammasome in podocyte and liver aging.
