GAS deficient mice display premature aging associated with loss of chromatin organization, derepression of LINE1 elements and induction of inflammation [Cut & Tag]

ABSTRACT: Aging-associated inflammation, or ‘inflammaging” is a driver multiple age-associated diseases. Cyclic GMP-AMP Synthase (cGAS) is a cytosolic DNA sensor that functions to activate interferon response upon detecting viral DNA in the cytoplasm. cGAS is also implicated in induction of inflammaging by responding to endogenous signals such as damaged DNA or LINE1 cDNA which forms in aged cells. While cGAS knockout mice are viable their aging has not been examined. Unexpectedly, we found that cGAS knockout mice exhibit accelerated aging phenotype associated with induction of inflammation and DNA damage signaling. Cells from cGAS knockout mice showed increased overall chromatin accessibility, particularly on LINE1 (L1) transposons and inflammation genes. Transcription of L1 elements was also increased associated with high levels of cytoplasmic L1 DNA and expression of ORF1 protein. Stimulated emission depletion microscopy (STED) showed that cGAS forms nuclear condensates that co-localize with heterochromatin. Taken together these results suggest a previously undescribed role for cGAS at maintaining heterochromatin and repressing L1 elements. We propose that cGAS knockout mice lose heterochromatin, leading to derepression of L1 elements and induction of inflammation resulting in premature aging phenotype.

SIRT7 counteracts mesenchymal stem cell senescence via stabilizing heterochromatin

Project description:Human mesenchymal stem cell (hMSC) senescence contributes to the imbalance of tissue homeostasis during aging. However, the connection between Sirtuin 7 (SIRT7) and hMSC homeostasis remains unclear. Here, we discovered a pivotal role of SIRT7 in protecting hMSC from senescence. We detected a decreased expression of SIRT7 during hMSC aging, while overexpression of which reversed premature hMSC senescence phenotypes. Mechanistically, we proved SIRT7 as a novel interacting protein of the heterochromatin complex, whose deficiency disrupted heterochromatin organization, thereby contributing to the derepression of the retrotransposon Long Interspersed Element 1 (LINE1 or L1). SIRT7-deficient hMSCs accumulated LINE1 in cytoplasm stimulating innate immune response by activated the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) and its downstream signaling effector stimulator of interferon genes (STING). Moreover, reverse-transcriptase inhibitors (RTis), such as Lamivudine (3TC), attenuated these senescence phenotypes of SIRT7-deficient hMSCs. Taken together, our findings identify SIRT7-heterochromatin via LINE1-cGAS/STING influence innate immune response, which contributes more comprehensive understanding of the physiological and function of SIRT7 and help us to find novel targets for the treatment of aging and aging relative diseases.

Nucleus-localized S100A9 triggers senescence of human amnion fibroblasts as a heterochromatin buster at parturition - CUT&Tag

Project description:Aging in the amnion is considered to trigger and intensify inflammation for the initiation of labor. However, the inducers of amnion cell senescence await to be identified. Here, we unexpectedly observe that S100A9, a classical cytokines, also localizes in the nucleus of human amnion fibroblasts (hAFs), and reveal that nucleus-localized S100A9 (nS100A9) abundance in hAFs increases at parturition and that nS100A9 triggers hAFs senescence. Mechanistically, nS100A9 interacts with heterochromatin proteins, preventing them from binding and maintaining condensed heterochromatin, resulting in heterochromatin erosion, LINE1 de-repression, and type I interferon response activation via the cGAS-STING pathway. Moreover, we demonstrate that dephosphorylation of S100A9 at Thr 113 is required for its nuclear translocation. Mouse studies show that intra-amniotic injection of nS100A9 induces preterm birth along with LINE1 activation, which is blocked by reverse-transcriptase inhibitor. Together, these findings highlight a novel role for S100A9 as a heterochromatin buster that triggers hAFs aging at parturition.

TXNRD1 drives innate immune response in senescent cells and promotes age-associated inflammation

Project description:Sterile inflammation, also known as inflammaging, is a hallmark of tissue ageing. Cellular senescence contributes to tissue aging in part through secretion of proinflammatory factors known as senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Thioredoxin reductase 1 (TXNRD1) genetic variability is associated with aging and age-associated phenotypes such as late-life survival, activity of daily living, and physical performance at old age. TXNRD1 role in regulating tissue ageing has been attributed to its enzymatic role in regulating cellular redox. Here we show that TXNRD1 drives SASP and inflammaging through the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of interferon genes (STING) innate immune response pathway independently of its enzymatic activity. TXNRD1 localizes to cytoplasmic chromatin fragment and interacts with cGAS in a senescence status dependent manner. TXNRD1 enhances the enzymatic activity of cGAS. TXNRD1 and its interaction with cGAS is necessary for the SASP. TXNRD1 is required for both the tumor-promoting and immune-surveillance functions of senescent cells, which are mediated by SASP in vivo in mouse models. Treatment of aged mice with an TXNRD1 inhibitor that disrupts its interaction with cGAS, but not an inhibitor of its enzymatic activity, downregulated inflammaging in several tissues. In summary, our results report TXNRD1 promotes inflammaging via the innate immune response. They indicate that TXNRD1 and cGAS interaction is a relevant target for selectively suppressing inflammaging.

LC-MS/MS identification of BMAL1 interaction proteins

Project description:Advances in circadian research revealed an intricate relationship between aging and circadian rhythms. However, whether and how the circadian machinery contribute to stem cell aging, especially in primates, remains poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the role of BMAL1, the only non-redundant circadian clock component, during aging in mesenchymal progenitor cells (MPCs). We observed an accelerated aging phenotype in both BMAL1 deficient human and cynomolgus monkey MPCs. Notably, this phenotype is mainly attributed to a transcriptional-independent role of BMAL1 in stabilizing the heterochromatin and thus preventing LINE1 activation. In senescent MPCs from human and cynomolgus monkeys, dampened LINE1 binding capacity of BMAL1 and synergistically activated LINE1 transcripts were observed. Furthermore, similar de-stabilized heterochromatin and aberrant LINE1s transcription was observed in the skin and muscle tissues from BMAL1-deficient cynomolgus monkey. Altogether, these findings uncover a noncanonical role of BMAL1 in stabilizing heterochromatin to inactivate LINE1 that drives aging in primates.

LINE-1 RNA is causative of heterochromatin erosion and target for amelioration of senescent phenotypes in progeroid syndromes

Project description:Constitutive heterochromatin is responsible for genome repression of DNA enriched in repetitive sequences, telomeres, and centromeres. In higher eukaryotes, constitutive heterochromatin is mostly segregated at the nuclear periphery, where the interaction with the nuclear lamina makes the genome more resistant to transcription. During physiological and pathological premature aging, heterochromatin homeostasis is profoundly compromised. Here we show that LINE-1 (L1) RNA accumulation is an early event in both typical and atypical progeroid syndromes. Depletion of L1 RNA in cells from different progeroid syndrome patients using specific antisense oligonucleotides (ASO) restores the levels of heterochromatin epigenetic marks, reverses DNA methylation age and counteracts the expression of senescence-associated genes. Moreover, proteome profiling involved in senescence phenotype was partially restored upon depletion of LINE-1 RNA in both Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) and Werner syndrome (WRN-/-).
