Transcriptomic analysis of peripheral blood mononuclear cells reveals age specific differences at baseline and response to acute exercise

ABSTRACT: Aging is associated with alterations in immune cell function, contributing to age-related diseases and frailty. As key drivers of the immune response, we investigated the transcriptome of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) using RNA-sequencing before and after high-intensity single-leg knee-extension exercise in young (Young; n=7, 23±4 years) and older individuals (Old; n=8, 65±7 years). Bioinformatic analyses revealed biological processes and pathways that were altered with aging and response to exercise. At baseline, 665 out of 19,762 genes differed in PBMCs with notable differences relating to pathways involved in DNA Damage/Telomere Stress Induced Senescence, NAD Signaling Pathway, and Oxidative Stress Induced Senescence. After exercise, 53 out of 13,695 genes were differentially expressed in the Young, while 1,026 out of 19,101 genes changed in the Old. In Young, the enriched processes and predicted pathways were linked to natural killer cells, while in Old, they focused on cell signaling immune responses. Lastly, 26 genes exhibited similar responses to exercise between groups, enriching the biological process of natural killer cell-mediated immunity regulation. Our findings indicate that PBMC gene expression is altered with aging and in response to acute exercise in older adults, with exercise having a more substantial modulating effect on the immune system response with aging. The underlying causes and functional consequences of the observed transcriptional differences require additional investigation.

Differences in genome-wide gene expression response in PBMCs between young and old men upon caloric restriction

Project description:Caloric restriction (CR) is considered to increase lifespan and to prevent various age-related diseases in different non-human organisms. Only a limited number of CR studies have been performed in humans, and results put CR as a beneficial tool to decrease risk factors in several age-related diseases. The question remains at what age CR should be implemented to be most effective with respect to healthy aging. The aim of our study was to elucidate the role of age in the transcriptional response to a 30% CR diet in immune cells, as immune response is affected during aging. Ten healthy young men, aged 20-34, and nine healthy old men, aged 64-85, were subjected to a two week weight maintenance diet, followed by three weeks of 30% CR. Before and after 30% CR, peripheral blood mononuclear cellsâ (PBMCs) whole genome gene expression was assessed. Expression of 554 genes showed a different response between young and old men upon CR. Gene set enrichment analysis revealed a downregulation of gene sets involved in immune response in young men, but not in old men. At baseline, immune response-related genes were already higher expressed in old compared to young men. Upstream regulator analyses revealed that most potential regulators were controlling immune response, and were inhibited in young men upon CR, and activated in old men at baseline. Based on the gene expression data, we conclude that a short period of CR is more effective in young men compared to old men regarding immune related pathways. Gene expression was profiled in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from young and old men before and after 30% caloric restriction.

Resistance Exercise Reverses Aging in Human Skeletal Muscle

Project description:Human aging is associated with skeletal muscle atrophy and functional impairment (sarcopenia). Multiple lines of evidence suggest that mitochondrial dysfunction is a major contributor to sarcopenia. We evaluated whether healthy aging was associated with a transcriptional profile reflecting mitochondrial impairment and whether resistance exercise could reverse this signature to that approximating a younger physiological age. Skeletal muscle biopsies from healthy older (N = 25) and younger (N = 26) adult men and women were compared using gene expression profiling, and a subset of these were related to measurements of muscle strength. 14 of the older adults had muscle samples taken before and after a six-month resistance exercise-training program. Before exercise training, older adults were 59% weaker than younger, but after six months of training in older adults, strength improved significantly (P<0.001) such that they were only 38% lower than young adults. As a consequence of age, we found 596 genes differentially expressed using a false discovery rate cut-off of 5%. Prior to the exercise training, the transcriptome profile showed a dramatic enrichment of genes associated with mitochondrial function with age. However, following exercise training the transcriptional signature of aging was markedly reversed back to that of younger levels for most genes that were affected by both age and exercise. We conclude that healthy older adults show evidence of mitochondrial impairment and muscle weakness, but that this can be partially reversed at the phenotypic level, and substantially reversed at the transcriptome level, following six months of resistance exercise training. Keywords: resistance exercise, muscle, aging

Effects of Aging and Exercise Training on Cerebrovascular Vasomotor Reactivity, Depressive Behavior, and the Hippocampal Transcriptome

Project description:The aging global population is experiencing an increased prevalence of cerebrovascular diseases, such as stroke and dementia. This highlights a need for understanding the pathophysiological mechanisms of age-related cerebrovascular alterations, alongside benefits of interventions such as physical activity. Therefore, our aims were to 1) examine the impact of aging and exercise training on cerebrovascular function, and 2) to characterize age- and exercise training-related changes in the hippocampus transcriptome. Methods: Young and old male rats were randomized to a sedentary condition or exercise training for 10 weeks. In the first protocol, cerebral arteries were isolated to test vasomotor reactivity, quantify gene/protein expression, and to assess nitric oxide production. In the second protocol, anhedonia was assessed and hippocampal tissue collected for RNA-sequencing. Bioinformatic analyses (i.e., protein-protein interaction mapping) were performed. Results: Aging impaired endothelium-dependent vasoreactivity in the posterior communicating artery (PCoA), with a shift from endothelial NOS- to neuronal NOS-mediated vasorelaxation, and alterations in oxidative stress production. In support, PCoA superoxide-mediated vasoreactivity and nNOS-mediated production of NO increased with age. Exercise enhanced vasodilation in young rats, but results suggested reduced cerebrovascular plasticity in older animals. In the second protocol, exercise training attenuated the age-related increase in anhedonia behavior. Hippocampal RNA-sequencing revealed altered inflammatory and oxidative stress pathways with aging that were mitigated by exercise training. Conclusions: Our findings underscore the complex interplay between vascular/neuronal factors in the aging brain. Furthermore, these findings highlight the therapeutic potential of exercise in mitigating the adverse effects of aging on cerebral health

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.

Analysis of hippocampal gene expression in adult and aged male BABL/c mice with or without running wheel access

Project description:Currently, the mechanisms behind the anti-aging effects of exercise are not understood. The presented study conducted a microarray on hippocampal samples from adult (3.5 month-old) and aged (18 month-old) male BALB/c mice that were individually housed with or without running wheels for 8 weeks. Results showed that aging altered genes related to chromatin remodeling, cell growth, immune activity, and synapse organization compared to adult mice. Exercise was found to modulate many of the genes altered by aging, but in the opposite direction. For example, wheel running increased expression of genes related to cell growth and attenuated expression of genes involved in immune function and chromatin remodeling. Collectively, findings show that even late-onset exercise may attenuate age-related changes in gene expression and identifies possible pathways through which exercise may exert its beneficial effects. In total 20 samples (4 aged exercise, 4 aged sedentary, 6 adult exercise, and 6 adult sedentary) plus 4 technical replicates (24 total) were analyzed.

Age-associated Changes in Basal NF-ÎºB Function in Human CD4+ T Lymphocytes via Dysregulation of PI3 Kinase (dataset 1)

Project description:Immune impairment and high circulating level of pro-inflammatory cytokines are landmarks of human aging. However, the molecular basis of immune dysregulation and the source of inflammatory markers remain unclear. Here we demonstrate that in the absence of overt cell stimulation, gene expression mediated by the transcription factor NF-ÎºB is higher in purified and rested human CD4+ T lymphocytes from older compared to younger individuals. This increase of NF-ÎºB -associated transcription includes transcripts for pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1 and chemokines such as CCL2 and CXCL10. We demonstrate that NF-ÎºB up-regulation is cell-intrinsic and mediated in part by phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) activity induced in response to metabolic activity, which can be moderated by rapamycin treatment. Our observations provide direct evidence that dysregulated basal NF-ÎºB activity may contribute to the mild pro-inflammatory state of aging. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from heparinized blood using Ficoll-Paque Plus density gradient centrifugation. CD4+ T cells were obtained by positive selection using anti-human CD4 microbeads. After a 4h incubation at 37ÂºC (5% CO2 incubator), cells were harvested and collected by centrifugation. Total cellular RNA was prepared using Qiagen RNeasy protocols. Labeling and amplification were done with the standard Illumina protocol, and the biotin-labeled cRNA was hybridized to Illumina's HumanRef-8 v2.0 Expression BeadChip. The arrays were washed, blocked and the biotin-labeled cRNA was detected by staining with streptavidin-Cy3. Samples were divided into 2 age groups, young and old, with the cut off at 65 years and above as old.

Loss of ARNT Impair Adaptability of Muscular Exercise in Aged Mice

Project description:The adaptation of regimented exercise in skeletal muscle including muscular hypertrophy and enhanced strength decline significantly with aging. Transcriptome analysis following RNA sequencing reveals extensive activation of hypoxia-related genes in young exercised mice versus the sedentary, but absent in aged exercised mice. Particularly, less expression of aryl hydrocarbon receptor translocator (ARNT) was observed in response to exercise in aged mice. Young mice underwent skeletal muscle-specific knockout of ARNT (ARNT mKO) obtain deficient benefit from exercise resembling the aged mice. The deletion of ARNT associated with decreased expression of Notch1 intracellular domain(N1ICD) impair muscle hypertrophy and regeneration. Administration of ML228, a systematic agonist of ARNT, rescued skeletal muscle adaptabilities in old mice, which was suppressed by administrating N1ICD inhibitor(DAPT). These results suggest that the loss of skeletal muscle ARNT is partially responsible for diminished response to exercise in aging and activation of hypoxia signaling holds promise for rescuing the adaptability in aged muscle.
