Replication stress responses in human lymphocytes change sex-specifically during aging

ABSTRACT: The varying incidence of aging-related diseases and the gender gap in life expectancy suggest differences in the aging process between the sexes. Yet, little is known about sexspecific differences in genomic instability, a key factor in aging. Here we analyzed DNA damage responses (DDRs) in cycling human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) from female and male donors of different age focusing on replication stress. Transcriptomics revealed striking sex-dependent expression changes in DDR pathways during aging. Particularly, various DDR components, involved in DNA repair and replication fork remodeling were upregulated with age in men. In contrast, functional analysis indicated reduced activity of the Fanconi Anemia pathway in PBL from older women. In line, DNA fiber spreading and PCNA ubiquitination analyses revealed a shift from fork remodeling to faster DNA damage tolerance (DDT) mechanisms in older women, accompanied by an increase in replication stress. While replication dynamics were unaltered and replication stress rather reduced, PBL from older men were highly dependent on PARP activity. In conclusion, our findings revealed sex-specific strategies to cope with replication stress in PBL from older individuals, namely through DDT pathway switching in women and PARP activation in men, differentially contributing to the decline of genomic stability with age.

Sex and aging effect on skeletal muscle transcriptome in humans

Project description:The aim of this investigation was to develop a global view of muscle transcriptional differences between older men and women and with aging for each sex. Muscle biopsies were obtained from the biceps brachii of young (age 19~28yrs) and older (age 65~76 yrs) men (7 young, 4 older) and women (7 young, 4 older). Total RNA was extracted and gene expression profiling was performed using the Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2 chip.

Transcription profiling of human skeletal muscle transcript from trained or sedentary young and old subjects

Project description:Aging is associated with mitochondrial dysfunction and insulin resistance. We conducted a study to determine the role of long-term vigorous endurance exercise on age-related changes in insulin sensitivity and various indices of mitochondrial functions. Experiment Overall Design: Skeletal muscle transcript profiling was done using Vastus Lateralis muscle biopsy samples from 10 young sedentary (YS), 10 older sedentary (OS), 10 young trained (YT) and 10 older trained (OT) men and women. Note that YT2, YS1, and OT1 didn't pass the Quality Control Step of dChip (high array/single outliers). Sedentary subjects exercised less than 30 min/day, twice per week. Trained subjects performed â¥ 1 hour cycling or running 6 days/week over the past 4 years.

Stress-triggered hematopoietic stem cell proliferation relies on Primpol-mediated repriming

Project description:Stem cell division is linked to tumorigenesis by yet-elusive mechanisms. The hematopoietic system reacts to stress by triggering stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) proliferation, which can be accompanied by chromosomal breakage in activated haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). However, whether these lesions persist in their downstream progeny and induce a canonical DNA damage response (DDR) remained unclear. Inducing HSPC proliferation by simulated viral infection, we report that the associated DNA damage is restricted to HSCs and that proliferating HSCs rewire their DDR upon endogenous and clastogen-induced damage. Combining transcriptomics, single-cell and single-molecule assays on murine bone marrow cells, we found accelerated fork progression in stimulated HSPCs, reflecting engagement of Primpol-dependent repriming, at the expense of replication fork reversal. Ultimately, competitive bone marrow transplantation revealed the requirement of Primpol for efficient HSC amplification and bone marrow reconstitution. Hence, fine-tuning replication fork plasticity is essential to support stem cell functionality upon proliferation stimuli.

NAT10-mediated β-hydroxybutyrylation Facilitates DNA Replication, Reduces Replication Stress and Genomic Instability

Project description:Accurate DNA replication is essential for genome integrity, with dysregulated replication dynamics, replication stress and genomic instability-hallmarks of cancer and aging. Here, we identify NAT10-mediated β-hydroxybutyrylation (Kbhb) of histones that safeguards replication fork progression, alleviates replication stress, and preserves genomic stability. DNA fiber analyses show β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) treatment enhances replication efficiency while maintaining fork symmetry, effects abolished by NAT10 depletion or inhibition. BrdU/EdU labeling, FACS analyses reveal that NAT10-mediated Kbhb accelerates replication fork velocity and shortens S-phase duration. LC-MS/MS profiling shows no significant changes in origin firing following BHB treatment. Mechanistically, NAT10-mediated Kbhb modulates chromatin association, thereby modulating chromatin accessibility to establish a replication-permissive environment. This epigenetic remodeling mitigates replication stress markers and genomic instability. Conserved effects in transformed and primary cell models position NAT10 as a metabolic-epigenetic nexus linking nutrient signaling to replication fidelity. Our findings suggest targeting Kbhb signaling as a potential therapeutic strategy against replication stress-associated pathologies.

Rad53-mediated regulation of Rrm3 and Pif1 DNA helicases contributes to prevention of aberrant fork transitions under replication stress.

Project description:Replication stress activates the Mec1ATR and Rad53 kinases. Rad53 phosphorylates nuclear pores to counteract gene gating, thus preventing aberrant transitions at forks approaching transcribed genes. Here, we show that Rrm3 and Pif1, DNA helicases assisting fork progression across pausing sites, are detrimental in rad53 mutants experiencing replication stress. Rrm3 and Pif1 ablations rescue cell lethality, chromosome fragmentation, replisome-fork dissociation, fork reversal, and processing in rad53 cells. Through phosphorylation, Rad53 regulates Rrm3 and Pif1; phospho-mimicking rrm3 mutants ameliorate rad53 phenotypes following replication stress without affecting replication across pausing elements under normal conditions. Hence, the Mec1-Rad53 axis protects fork stability by regulating nuclear pores and DNA helicases. We propose that following replication stress, forks stall in an asymmetric conformation by inhibiting Rrm3 and Pif1, thus impeding lagging strand extension and preventing fork reversal; conversely, under unperturbed conditions, the peculiar conformation of forks encountering pausing sites would depend on active Rrm3 and Pif1. BrdU incorporation profiles by ssDNA-BrdU IP on chip have been generated as described (Katou et al., 2003). Protein binding profiles by ChIP-chip analysis were generated as described (Bermejo et al., 2009). Labeled probes were hybridized to Affymetrix S.cerevisiae Tiling 1.0 (P/N 900645) arrays and processed with TAS software.

Replication Fork-Associated RNA-DNA Hybrids Safeguard Genomic Stability in Transcriptionally Active Regions [WGRS]

Project description:Safeguarding replication fork stability in transcriptionally active regions, which require high DNA replication accuracy, is crucial for precise DNA replication and prevention of mutations. However, how cells ensure the stability of replication forks in these regions remains a critical challenge. Here, we discovered the pervasive existence of replication forks-associated RNA-DNA hybrids (RF-RDs) within transcriptionally active regions, where they act as a protective barrier against DNA2-mediated nascent DNA degradation and prevent replication fork collapse upon replication stress. Subsequently, the RNA helicase DDX39A dismantles RF-RDs, facilitating proper DNA2-mediated DNA resection and replication fork restart. Excessive dissolution of RF-RDs causes replication fork collapse and genomic instability, while insufficient dissolution of RF-RDs under replication stress increases fork stability, resulting in chemoresistance that can be reversed by eliminating RF-RDs. In summary, we elucidated the prevalence of RF-RDs at replication forks within transcriptionally active regions, revealed their pivotal role in safeguarding replication fork stability, and proposed that targeting RF-RDs holds promise for augmenting chemotherapeutic efficacy.
