Lung derived extracellular vesicles have distinct pro-repair effects, depending on the age of their source tissue

ABSTRACT: Many age-related lung diseases encompass aberrant repair mechanisms. To develop novel treatments for these diseases, it is critical to understand how biology and repair signals are altered in aged lungs. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) carry bioactive signals reflecting their source tissue; therefore, we used EVs derived from precision-cut lung slices (PCLS) as tools to investigate differences in lung biology and repair signals that occur upon ageing and injury. We compared the physicochemical properties and biological content of four groups of EVs, obtained from uninjured and injured, young and aged PCLS. Treatment with EVs obtained from young, uninjured (YU) PCLS decreased apoptotic cells in both young and aged spatially injured (AIR)-PCLS. YU EVs also increased the percentage of alveolar progenitor cells in aged AIR-PCLS, indicating that aged lungs retain the capacity to mount a repair response, if provided with the right biological cues. Small RNA sequencing revealed the miRNA content of each EV group is altered, depending on the physiological conditions of their source tissue. Bioinformatic analysis of the target genes regulated by differentially expressed miRNAs identified enrichment of genes required for lung development and repair. These findings pave the way for future therapeutic strategies to repair or regenerate aged lungs.

Lung injury-induced endothelial cell states persist in aging-associated non-resolving fibrosis II

Project description:The capacity of lung tissue to heal without scarring deteriorates with aging. The pulmonary vasculature has emerged as a central regulator of lung repair, and aging-associated endothelial cell dysfunction has been associated with defective lung response to injury and sustained fibrosis. To shed light into aging-associated cellular and transcriptional responses of lung endothelial cells during lung fibrogenesis, we carried out a single cell RNA-seq analysis of bleomycin-treated young (2 months) and aged (72 months) lungs during the early phase of fibrosis resolution (30 days post bleomycin). This analysis revealed that lung injury was associated with the appearance of distinct populations of endothelial cells that exhibit “activated” transcriptional states, originating from virtually all vascular beds. Activated endothelial cells deriving from venous and capillary beds were the most represented in aged compared to young lungs. Longitudinal single-cell analysis together with lineage tracing revealed that activated endothelial cells appeared transiently during the peak of collagen production in young lungs and disappeared during the resolution phase. Conversely, activated endothelial cell states persisted in aged lungs around fibrotic areas, indicating a failure of the aged vascular tissue to return to quiescence. We provide evidence that an axis between YAP and TrkB signaling acts as a node that directs injury-induced capillary endothelial cell activation in vivo and lung capillary morphogenesis ex vivo. Together, these data provide insights into the aging-related dynamics of lung endothelial cells in response to injury.

Comparative transcriptional analysis of lung fibroblasts from young and aged mice identifies PIM1/NFATc1 axis as a driver of persistent fibrosis

Project description:Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is an aging-associated disease characterized by the accumulation of myofibroblasts leading to the progressive scarring of the lung. To identify transcriptional gene programs driving persistent fibrosis in aged lungs, we performed a comparative RNA-seq analysis of fibroblasts freshly isolated from young and aged mouse lungs 30 days post-bleomycin injury. We discovered that lung fibroblasts isolated from young animals at this time point post-injury were transcriptionally similar to those isolated from uninjured mice. In contrast, aged lung fibroblasts isolated at the same time point exhibited a sustained pro-fibrotic state characterized by the elevated expression of genes implicated in inflammation, extracellular matrix remodeling, and cell survival. We identified the protein kinase pro-viral integration site of Moloney murine leukemia virus 1 (PIM1) and its direct target Nuclear Factor of Activated T Cells-1 (NFATc1) as putative drivers of the sustained profibrotic gene signatures observed in aged lung fibroblasts post-injury. PIM1 and NFATc1 transcripts were highly enriched in a pathogenic fibroblast population recently discovered in IPF lungs, and their protein expression was detected in fibroblastic foci. Overexpression of PIM1 in normal human lung fibroblasts potentiated their fibrogenic activation and this effect was dependent on NFATc1. Pharmacological inhibition of PIM1 in IPF-derived lung fibroblasts attenuated their activation and sensitized them to apoptotic stimuli. Finally, inhibition of PIM1 strongly reduced the expression of ECM remodeling and pro-survival genes and blocked the secretion of collagen in IPF lung explants ex vivo. Targeting PIM1/NFATc1 axis in pathogenic lung fibroblasts may represent a therapeutic strategy to limit their activation and promote fibrosis resolution in IPF.

Investigating the role of aging and lung fibrosis in Endothelial Cells with RNA sequencing

Project description:In order to elucidate the contribute of the pulmonary vasculature to lung fibrosis, we injured young and aged mice with bleomycine, to create a model of resolving versus persistent lung fibrosis. The animals were sacrificed 30 days after the injury (time point in which we observed a divergent resolving vs persistent lung fibrosis in young vs aged mice). We found that lung fibrosis resolution in young mice was accompained by the activation of transcriptional programs promoting vascular repair and lung fibrosis resolution. Lung endothelial cells from aged mice after injury failed to activate these programs, leading to dysrepair and progressive fibrosis.

Regulation of aged skeletal muscle regeneration by extracellular

Project description:Heterochronic blood exchange (HBE) has demonstrated that circulating factors restore youthful features to aged tissues. However, the systemic mediators of those rejuvenating effects remain poorly defined. We show that the beneficial effect of young blood on aged muscle regeneration was diminished when serum was depleted of extracellular vesicles (EVs). Whereas EVs from young animals rejuvenate aged cell bioenergetics and skeletal muscle regeneration, aging shifts EV subpopulation heterogeneity and compromises downstream benefits on recipient cells. Machine learning classifiers revealed that aging shifts the nucleic acid, but not protein, fingerprint of circulating EVs. Alterations in sub-population heterogeneity were accompanied by declines in transcript levels of the pro-longevity protein, α-Klotho, and injection of EVs improved muscle regeneration in a Klotho mRNA-dependent manner. These studies demonstrate that EVs play a key role in the rejuvenating effects of HBE and that Klotho transcripts within EVs phenocopy the effects of young serum on aged skeletal muscle.

Gene expression data from precision cut lung slices (PCLS) of old and young mice infected with two strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Project description:The study aimed to mimic inflamm-aging using ex vivo precision-cut lung slices (PCLS) from young and old mice, and to investigate the influence of aging on inflammation upon infection with the P. aeruginosa standard lab strain PAO1 and a clinical P. aeruginosa isolate, D61. Genome-wide transcriptome analysis revealed that genes associated with processes of immune system were strongly regulated with aging upon P. aeruginosa infection. Very early events of pulmonary inflamm-aging can be mimicked ex vivo in tissue slices of distal lungs and aging promotes pulmonary inflammation upon P. aeruginosa infection

Differentially enriched miRNAs in EVs derived from young and aged osteocytes of mice

Project description:Vascular calcification often occurs with osteoporosis, a contradictory association called “calcification paradox”. We find that extracellular vesicles (EVs) released from aged bone matrix (AB-EVs) during bone resorption favor adipogenesis rather than osteogenesis of BMSCs and augment calcification of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Intravenous or intramedullary injection of AB-EVs promotes bone-fat imbalance and exacerbates Vitamin D3 (VD3)-induced vascular calcification in young or old mice. To explore the involvement of miRNAs in the AB-EVs-induced promotion of adipocyte formation and vascular calcification, the Agilent miRNA array was conducted to compare the miRNA expression profiles in AB-EVs and YB-EVs from mouse bone specimens. Our study uncovers the role of AB-EVs as a messenger for calcification paradox by transferring functional miRNAs.

Characterization of young and aged lung tissue RNA 60 days post-influenza infection

Project description:To identify molecular characteristics of young and aged lungs post-influenza infection, we isolated RNA from lungs 60 days post-infection and examined by bulk RNAseq. We found a large number of genes remain upregulated in aged compared to young lungs. Comparison with expression of immune system-related genes from Nanostring expriments indicated this was largely infection-induced rather than baseline differences between age. This indicates that aged lungs fail to return to homeostasis following a viral respiratory infection

Differentially enriched miRNAs in EVs derived from young and aged osteocytes of mice

Project description:Young and Aged osteocytes in bone matrix secreted plenty of extracellular vesicles (EVs) with different functions.

Pathogenesis of influenza A(H7N9) virus in aged non-human primates

Project description:The avian influenza A(H7N9) virus has caused high mortality in humans, especially in the elderly; however, little is known about the mechanistic basis for this. In this study, we employed non-human primates to evaluate the effect of aging on the pathogenicity of A(H7N9) virus. We observed that A(H7N9) virus infection of aged animals (defined as 20–26 years) caused more severe symptoms than infection of young animals (defined as 2 3 years). In aged animals, lung inflammation was weak and virus infection was sustained. Although cytokine and chemokine expression in the lungs of most aged animals was lower than that in the lungs of young animals, one aged animal showed dysregulated proinflammatory cytokine and chemokine production, resulting in it being euthanized. These results suggest that attenuated or dysregulated immune responses in aged animals are responsible for the severe symptoms observed among elderly patients infected with A(H7N9) virus.
