Convergence of aging- and rejuvenation-related epigenetic alterations on PRC2 targets [WGBS]

ABSTRACT: Rejuvenation of tissues in physiologically aging mice can be accomplished by long-term partial reprogramming via expression of reprogramming factors (Oct4, Sox2, Klf4 and c-Myc). To investigate the epigenetic determinants of partial reprogramming-mediated rejuvenation, we used whole genome bisulfite sequencing to carry out unbiased comprehensive profiling of DNA methylation changes in skin from mice subjected to partial reprogramming, as well as young and untreated old controls. We found a striking convergence of age- and rejuvenation-related epigenetic alterations on targets of the Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2). These results are also supported by a likewise prominent enrichment of PRC2 targets in gene expression data, suggesting that PRC2 activity can modulate aging and mediate tissue rejuvenation.

PRC2-AgeIndex: a universal biomarker of aging and rejuvenation [WGBS]

Project description:DNA methylation (DNAm) is one of the most reliable biomarkers of aging across many mammalian tissues. While the age-dependent global loss of DNAm has been well characterized, age-dependent DNAm gain is less specified. Multiple studies have demonstrated that polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) targets are enriched among the CpG sites which gain methylation with age. However, systematic whole-genome examination of all PRC2 targets in the context of aging methylome as well as determination of the pan-tissue or tissue-specific nature of these associations is lacking. Here, by analyzing DNAm data from different assays and from multiple young and old human and mouse tissues, we found that low-methylated regions (LMRs) which are highly bound by PRC2 in embryonic stem cells (PRC2 LMRs) gain methylation with age in all examined somatic mitotic cells. We also estimated that this epigenetic change represents around 90% of the age-dependent DNAm gain genome-wide. Therefore, we propose the “PRC2-AgeIndex,” defined as the average DNAm in PRC2 LMRs, as a universal biomarker of cellular aging in somatic cells. In addition, we demonstrate the application of this biomarker in the evaluation of different anti-aging interventions, including dietary restriction and partial epigenetic reprogramming.

Initiation Phase Cellular Reprogramming Rejuvenates DNA Damage Repair Defect In The Ercc1 Accelerated Aging Mouse Model

Project description:Unlike aging somatic cells, which exhibit a decline in molecular fidelity and eventually reach a state of replicative senescence, pluripotent stem cells can indefinitely replenish themselves while retaining full homeostatic capacity. The conferment of beneficial -pluripotency related traits via in vivo partial cellular reprogramming (IVPR) significantly extends lifespan and restores aging phenotypes in mouse models. Although the phases of cellular reprogramming are well characterized, details of the rejuvenation processes are poorly defined. Here we created the first reprogrammable accelerated aging mouse model with a DNA damage repair defect to better understand the effects of reprogramming on a key driver of aging. Using enhanced partial reprogramming by combining small molecules with the Yamanaka factors, we observed potent reversion of DNA damage, significant upregulation of multiple DNA damage repair processes, and restoration of the epigenetic clock is observed. In addition, we present evidence that TGFb inhibition of the ALK5 or ALK2 receptor is able to phenocopy some benefits including epigenetic clock restoration suggesting a role in the mechanism of rejuvenation during partial reprogramming.

Transcription-Associated Chromatin Reorganization During Cellular Rejuvenation (Hi-C)

Project description:Aging is associated with a progressive decline in cellular function. To reset the aged cellular phenotype, various reprogramming approaches, including mechanical routes, have been proposed. However, the epigenetic mechanisms underlying cellular rejuvenation are poorly understood. We studied the transcriptional and genome-wide chromatin organization changes in young, aged and mechanically rejuvenated fibroblasts using RNA-seq and Hi-C experiments. The mechanically rejuvenated aged fibroblasts, that had reset their transcription to a younger cell state, showed a reorganization of the inter-chromosomal contacts and lamina-associated domains. Interestingly, the observed chromatin reorganization correlated with the transcriptional changes. Immunofluorescence experiments in the rejuvenated state confirmed increased contractility and reduced chromosome copy number variations, similar to younger fibroblasts. In addition, the rejuvenated contractile properties were maintained over multiple cell passages. Taken together, our results provide a multi-scale characterization of the chromatin reorganization that accompanies cellular aging and rejuvenation.
