Charting the DNA methylation landscape of the Killifish across age and tissues

ABSTRACT: Killifish are among the shortest-lived vertebrates and are considered a promising model organism for aging. However, so far virtually nothing is known about its DNA methylome, which is frequently used for age and health status predictions in mammals. Here, we provide a comprehensive whole-genome killifish methylation map covering different tissues, age groups, and species. We show that the methylome of all individuals follows the typical, bimodal distribution of either high or low methylation rates. Furthermore, we find the major methylation variance within a species is driven by cell type-specific methylation and small but detectable aging related dynamics separating the age groups.

Multi-tissue transcriptomic aging atlas reveals predictive aging biomarkers in the killifish

Project description:Aging is associated with progressive tissue dysfunction, leading to frailty and mortality. Characterizing aging features, such as changes in gene expression and dynamics, shared across tissues or specific to each tissue, is crucial for understanding systemic and local factors contributing to the aging process. We performed RNA-sequencing on 13 tissues at 6 different ages in the African turquoise killifish, the shortest-lived vertebrate that can be raised in captivity. This comprehensive, sex-balanced 'atlas' dataset reveals the varying strength of sex-age interactions across killifish tissues and identifies age-altered biological pathways that are evolutionarily conserved. Demonstrating the utility of this resource, we discovered that the killifish head kidney exhibits a myeloid bias during aging, a phenomenon more pronounced in females than in males. In addition, we developed tissue-specific 'transcriptomic clocks' and identified biomarkers predictive of chronological age. We show the importance of sex-specific clocks for selected tissues and use the tissue clocks to evaluate a dietary intervention in the killifish. Our work provides a comprehensive resource for studying aging dynamics across tissues in the killifish, a powerful vertebrate aging model.

Senolytics improve the neurogenic potential of non-glial progenitors and neurorepair in the dorsal pallium of aged killifish independent of inflammation

Project description:With advancing age, senescent cells accumulate as they are not efficiently cleared by the immune system anymore. Via a senescence-associated secretory phenotype, chronic senescent cells alter the microenvironment, creating an unfavorable milieu for neurogenesis and neurorepair. Using an innovative and rapid aging model, the African turquoise killifish, we have previously demonstrated a dramatic decline in neurogenic potential of non-glial progenitors with age. Even after traumatic brain injury, progenitor proliferation and neuron production was very low in aged killifish in comparison to young adult killifish, and overall neurorepair was incomplete. In the present study, we validated if the senolytic cocktail dasatinib and quercetin (D+Q) could reboot the neurogenic output by clearing chronic senescent cells from the aged killifish brain to re-create the necessary supportive environment. Our results confirm that the aged killifish telencephalon holds a very high senescent cell burden, which we could diminish by short-term systemic D+Q treatment. As a consequence of D+Q administration, proliferation of non-glial progenitors increased and more new neurons were generated and migrated into the parenchyma after injury. Injury-induced inflammation and glial scarring, a phenomenon only seen in aged killifish, remained unaltered. Senolytic treatment with D+Q might thus hold promise for improving brain function in aged populations, and is especially interesting for reviving the neurogenic potential of an already aged central nervous system.

Protein Aggregation and Quality Control in Aging Killifish

Project description:Protein aggregation is a hallmark of age-related neurodegeneration. Yet whether aggregation drives age-related dysfunction and disease in other tissues is poorly understood. Here, we leverage the African turquoise killifish to obtain a systematic understanding of protein aggregation in seven tissues in an aging vertebrate.

Epigenetic aging of the demographically non-aging naked mole-rat [RRBS]

Project description:The naked mole-rat (NMR) is an exceptionally long-lived rodent that does not show increased mortality with age, uniquely defining NMR as a demographically non-aging mammal. Here, we performed bisulfite sequencing on over one hundred NMR blood samples differing in age, assessing more than 3 million common CpG sites. We observed an information loss of the NMR methylome during aging suggesting that NMR ages. Unsupervised clustering based on the 758 CpG sites whose methylation level strongly correlate with age suggests an age-related shift of the NMR methylome. We also developed an epigenetic aging clock that accurately predicts the NMR age spread across the genome. Based on the clock, NMRs age much slower than mice and much faster than humans, consistent with their known maximum lifespans. We further found that patterns of age-related methylation changes of aging clock sites in Tert and Prpf19 showed differences between NMRs and mice. Together, the data indicate that NMRs, like other mammals, epigenetically age even in the absence of demographic aging of this species.
