A single-cell RNA sequencing dataset of cardiac aging in African Turquoise Killifish

ABSTRACT: Aging is a major contributor to functional decline of the heart and various cardiovascular diseases. Alterations across different cardiac cell types must be tightly orchestrated during normative aging process that has begun to be mapped at the transcriptional level through single-cell RNA-sequencing. However, current rodent models are limited in their capacity to experimentally test large numbers of candidate differentially expressed genes (DEGs). As an attractive alternative, the African Turquoise Killifish (ATK) promises more efficient genetic studies of cardiac aging because it has the shortest lifespan among vertebrates. Despite its experimental advantages, single-cell transcriptomic studies on cardiac aging in ATK have not yet been conducted. Here, we generated the first scRNA-seq profiles of hearts from young and old GRZ strain ATK and demonstrated changes in cellular composition, gene expression, functional pathways, and intercellular communication during cardiac aging.

Circular RNAs in the ageing African turquoise killifish

Project description:In this work we took 9 samples from brain and 6 samples from muscle of the African turquoise killifish (Nothobranchius furzeri) at 3.5, 8.5 and 14 weeks. Total RNA was sequenced and circRNAs were detected.

Multi-tissue transcriptomic aging atlas reveals predictive aging biomarkers in the killifish

Project description:Aging is associated with progressive tissue dysfunction, leading to frailty and mortality. Characterizing aging features, such as changes in gene expression and dynamics, shared across tissues or specific to each tissue, is crucial for understanding systemic and local factors contributing to the aging process. We performed RNA-sequencing on 13 tissues at 6 different ages in the African turquoise killifish, the shortest-lived vertebrate that can be raised in captivity. This comprehensive, sex-balanced 'atlas' dataset reveals the varying strength of sex-age interactions across killifish tissues and identifies age-altered biological pathways that are evolutionarily conserved. Demonstrating the utility of this resource, we discovered that the killifish head kidney exhibits a myeloid bias during aging, a phenomenon more pronounced in females than in males. In addition, we developed tissue-specific 'transcriptomic clocks' and identified biomarkers predictive of chronological age. We show the importance of sex-specific clocks for selected tissues and use the tissue clocks to evaluate a dietary intervention in the killifish. Our work provides a comprehensive resource for studying aging dynamics across tissues in the killifish, a powerful vertebrate aging model.

Identification of retinal cell types within the ageing African turquoise killifish retina and their respective age-related transcriptional changes using scRNA-seq

Project description:The mammalian central nervous system (CNS) and its retina are susceptible to age-related patholgoies, resulting in progressive, irreversible diseases like glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration (AMD), which are increasingly prevalent with rising life expectancy. Currently, there are no targeted long-term therapies to prevent vision loss. The short lived African turquoise killifsh (Nothobranchius furzeri, GRZ-AD) is a valuable genetic model for ageing studies, displaying rapid ageing phenotypes within its four to six-month lifespan. Our investigation on the molecular consequences of ageing in the retina, employing scRNA-sequencing, shows a a comprehensive overview of the cellular heterogeneity of the killifish retina, uncovering age-related gene expression changes specific to certain retinal cell populations.

Effect of ageing on gene expression in the African turquiose killifish retina

Project description:The mammalian central nervous system (CNS) is susceptible to age-related pathologies, resulting in progressive, irreversible disease. Neurodegenerative eye conditions, like glaucoma and age-related macular degeneneration (AMD), are on the rise due to increased life expectancy. Despite this, there are currently no long-term therapies to prevent degeneration and vision loss. The short-lived African turquoise kililfsh (Nothobranchius furzeri GRZ-AD) is an ideal genetic model for ageing studies, exhibiting rapid ageing phenotypes within its four to six-mont lifespan. Investigating the molecular consequences of ageing in the retina, we conducted bulk RNA-sequencing, revealing dysregulation of genetic pathways associated with ageing CNS and retinal diseas in the aged killifish retina.

Charting the DNA methylation landscape of the Killifish across age and tissues

Project description:Killifish are among the shortest-lived vertebrates and are considered a promising model organism for aging. However, so far virtually nothing is known about its DNA methylome, which is frequently used for age and health status predictions in mammals. Here, we provide a comprehensive whole-genome killifish methylation map covering different tissues, age groups, and species. We show that the methylome of all individuals follows the typical, bimodal distribution of either high or low methylation rates. Furthermore, we find the major methylation variance within a species is driven by cell type-specific methylation and small but detectable aging related dynamics separating the age groups.

Senolytics improve the neurogenic potential of non-glial progenitors and neurorepair in the dorsal pallium of aged killifish independent of inflammation

Project description:With advancing age, senescent cells accumulate as they are not efficiently cleared by the immune system anymore. Via a senescence-associated secretory phenotype, chronic senescent cells alter the microenvironment, creating an unfavorable milieu for neurogenesis and neurorepair. Using an innovative and rapid aging model, the African turquoise killifish, we have previously demonstrated a dramatic decline in neurogenic potential of non-glial progenitors with age. Even after traumatic brain injury, progenitor proliferation and neuron production was very low in aged killifish in comparison to young adult killifish, and overall neurorepair was incomplete. In the present study, we validated if the senolytic cocktail dasatinib and quercetin (D+Q) could reboot the neurogenic output by clearing chronic senescent cells from the aged killifish brain to re-create the necessary supportive environment. Our results confirm that the aged killifish telencephalon holds a very high senescent cell burden, which we could diminish by short-term systemic D+Q treatment. As a consequence of D+Q administration, proliferation of non-glial progenitors increased and more new neurons were generated and migrated into the parenchyma after injury. Injury-induced inflammation and glial scarring, a phenomenon only seen in aged killifish, remained unaltered. Senolytic treatment with D+Q might thus hold promise for improving brain function in aged populations, and is especially interesting for reviving the neurogenic potential of an already aged central nervous system.
