Project description:A number of chronic, age-related diseases are associated with elevated markers of inflammation such as interleukin-6 (IL-6). In this study, we investigated the hypothesis that sedentary individuals with disparate basal serum IL-6 respond differentially to a structured physical activity programme. Gene expression changes in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear cells (PBMC) induced by physical activity was investigated in sedentary, middle-aged men (mean age 52.6 years and BMI 29.1), with relatively high or low basal serum IL-6 levels (mean of 2.13 and 0.59pg/ml respectively), who undertook a 24-week physical activity programme with blood sampling in the pre-exercise period and at the end of 24-weeks prescribed physical activity. AgilentTM Whole Human Genome Oligo Microarrays were utilised to examine the effects of physical activity on mRNA expression profiles of the Peripheral Blood Mononuclear cells (PBMC) at 2 time points (pre-exercise, and after 24 weeks physical activity. There were 6 individuals per group.

Project description:In almost every countries the proportion of people over 60 years is growing faster that any other age group. Increased life expectancy is leading to the characterization of specific aspects of aging for the various physiological systems. The study of healthy aging is important to design strategies capable to maximize the health and to prevent chronic diseases in older people. Immunosenscence reflects the age-related changes of the immune system and the reduced capacity of elderly people to cope with new infections. To elucidate changes in gene expression related to systemic aging and immunosenescence in an unbiased manner we performed comparative microarray analysis on whole blood cell from healthy middle-aged versus elderly men, and correlated results with functional measurements of aerobic capacity. Blood cells from elderly subjects showed age-related changes in the expression of several markers of immunosenescence, inflammation and oxidative stress, and showed impairments in metabolic and biosynthetic capacities.

Project description:Skin aging is a process of structural and compositional remolding that can be manifested as wrinkling and sagging. Remarkably, the dermis plays a dominant role in the process of skin aging. Recent studies suggest that microRNAs (miRNAs) may play a role in the regulation of gene expression in organism aging. However, studies about age-related miRNAs in human skin remain limited. In order to obtain an overall view of miRNAs expression in human aged dermis, we have investigated the alteration of microRNAs during aging by examining biopsies of human dermis from 12 young and aged donors, and demonstrated that numerous microRNAs showed significant alteration in dermis tissue. Normal human dermal tissue from 12 consenting individuals. Old group vs young group. Old group: with the age over 60 years old; young group: with the age below 10 years old; each group was constituted of 6 individuals.

Project description:McAuley2012 - Whole-body Cholesterol Metabolism
Lipid metabolism has a key role to play in human longevity and healthy aging. A whole-body mathematical model of cholesterol metabolism that explores the changes in both the rate of intestinal cholesterol absorption and the hepatic rate of clearance of LDL-C from the plasma, has been presented here. The model showed that of these two mechanisms, changes to the rate of LDL-C removal from the plasma with age had the most significant effect on cholesterol metabolism.
The original SBML model file was generated using MathSBML 2.5.1.

Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Global demographic changes have stimulated marked interest in the process of ageing. There has been, and will continue to be, an unrelenting rise in the number of the oldest old ( >85 years of age). Together with an ageing population there comes an increase in the prevalence of age related disease. Of the diseases of ageing, cardiovascular disease (CVD) has by far the highest prevalence. It is regarded that a finely tuned lipid profile may help to prevent CVD as there is a long established relationship between alterations to lipid metabolism and CVD risk. In fact elevated plasma cholesterol, particularly Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C) has consistently stood out as a risk factor for having a cardiovascular event. Moreover it is widely acknowledged that LDL-C may rise with age in both sexes in a wide variety of groups. The aim of this work was to use a whole-body mathematical model to investigate why LDL-C rises with age, and to test the hypothesis that mechanistic changes to cholesterol absorption and LDL-C removal from the plasma are responsible for the rise. The whole-body mechanistic nature of the model differs from previous models of cholesterol metabolism which have either focused on intracellular cholesterol homeostasis or have concentrated on an isolated area of lipoprotein dynamics. The model integrates both current and previously published data relating to molecular biology, physiology, ageing and nutrition in an integrated fashion.
RESULTS: The model was used to test the hypothesis that alterations to the rate of cholesterol absorption and changes to the rate of removal of LDL-C from the plasma are integral to understanding why LDL-C rises with age. The model demonstrates that increasing the rate of intestinal cholesterol absorption from 50% to 80% by age 65 years can result in an increase of LDL-C by as much as 34mg/dL in a hypothetical male subject. The model also shows that decreasing the rate of hepatic clearance of LDL-C gradually to 50% by age 65 years can result in an increase of LDL-C by as much as 116mg/dL.
CONCLUSIONS: Our model clearly demonstrates that of the two putative mechanisms that have been implicated in the dysregulation of cholesterol metabolism with age, alterations to the removal rate of plasma LDL-C has the most significant impact on cholesterol metabolism and small changes to the number of hepatic LDL receptors can result in a significant rise in LDL-C. This first whole-body systems based model of cholesterol balance could potentially be used as a tool to further improve our understanding of whole-body cholesterol metabolism and its dysregulation with age. Furthermore, given further fine tuning the model may help to investigate potential dietary and lifestyle regimes that have the potential to mitigate the effects aging has on cholesterol metabolism.

Whole blood samples from twenty healthy men between the ages of 45-55 (n=11) and 65-75 (n=9) years old were analyzed for this study. For each subject blood was sampled in two different occasions, which were separated by at least 7 days. To preseve RNA quality and integrity 3 ml of blood have been collected intoTEMPUS Blood RNA tubes (ABI, Foster City, CA, USA). Total RNA has been depleted of globin mRNA using the GLOBINclearâ¢-Human kit (Ambion, Austin, TX). To reduce variations due to confounding events, such as spontaneous up- and down-regulation of genes, the two samples of clean RNA from each subject were pooled into one single sample (1ug+1ug RNA).

Project description:Background: Age-related physiological, biochemical and functional changes in mammalian skeletal muscle have been shown to begin at the mid-point of the lifespan. However, the underlying changes in DNA methylation that occur during this turning point of the muscle aging process have not been clarified. To explore age-related genomic methylation changes in skeletal muscle, we employed young (0.5 years old) and middle-aged (7 years old) pigs as models to survey genome-wide DNA methylation in the longissimus dorsi muscle using a methylated DNA immunoprecipitation sequencing approach. Results: We observed a tendency toward a global loss of DNA methylation in the gene-body region of the skeletal muscle of the middle-aged pigs compared with the young group. We determined the genome-wide gene expression pattern in the longissimus dorsi muscle using microarray analysis and performed a correlation analysis using DMR (differentially methylated region)-mRNA pairs, and we found a significant negative correlation between the changes in methylation levels within gene bodies and gene expression. Furthermore, we identified numerous genes that show age-related methylation changes that are potentially involved in the aging process. The methylation status of these genes was confirmed using bisulfite sequencing PCR. The genes that exhibited a hypomethylated gene body in middle-aged pigs were over-represented in various proteolysis and protein catabolic processes, suggesting an important role for these genes in age-related muscle atrophy. In addition, genes associated with tumorigenesis exhibited aged-related differences in methylation and expression levels, suggesting an increased risk of disease associated with increased age. Conclusions: This study provides a comprehensive analysis of genome-wide DNA methylation patterns in aging pig skeletal muscle. Our findings will serve as a valuable resource in aging studies, promoting the pig as a model organism for human aging research and accelerating the development of comparative animal models in aging research. We collected the longissimus dorsi muscles tissue from Jinhua pigs which aged 0.5 year and seven years and study the genome-wide DNA methylation difference between the two age periods.

Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation from peripheral white blood cells (PWBCs) from individuals enrolled in PREDIMED trial. The objective was to analyse whether an intervention with two Mediterranean diets, one rich in extra-virgin olive oil (MedDiet+EVOO) and the other one in nuts (MedDiet+nuts), was influencing the methylation status of PWBC genes. A group with a low-fat diet was considered as control. The Illumina Infinium 420k Human DNA methylation Beadchip was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 450,000 CpGs in these samples. Samples included 12 MedDiet+EVOO, 12 MedDiet+nuts and 12 low-fat control group, at baseline (n=36) and after five years of intervention (n=36).

Project description:Skeletal muscle degenerates progressively, loses mass (sarcopenia) along in years, and leads to reduced physical ability, often causing secondary diseases such as diabetes and obesity. It is known that regulation of gene expression by microRNAs is a key event in muscle development and disease. To understand genome-wide changes in microRNAs and mRNAs during muscle aging, we sequenced microRNAs as well as mRNAs from mouse gastrocnemius muscles at two different ages (6 versus 24-month-old). Thirty-four microRNAs (15 up-regulated and 19 down-regulated) were differentially expressed with age among which were microRNAs such as miR-206 or -434 which were differentially expressed in aged muscle in previous studies. Interestingly, seven microRNAs in a microRNA cluster at imprinted Dlk1-Dio3 locus on chromosome 12 were coordinately down-regulated. In addition, sixteen novel microRNAs were identified. Integrative analysis of microRNA and mRNA expression revealed that microRNAs contribute to muscle aging possibly through the positive regulation of transcription, metabolic process, and kinase activity. Many of the age-related microRNAs were implicated in human muscular diseases. We suggest that genome-wide microRNA profiling helps to expand our knowledge of microRNA function in the muscle aging process. mRNA profiles of gastrocnemius muscle tissues (n=10) were generated by deep sequencing using Illumina Hiseq-2000
