Small non-coding RNA profiling in aged beta-cells [miRNA-Seq beta]

ABSTRACT: Aging is accompanied by functional decline and increased senescence of pancreatic β-cells. These changes may be influenced by islet-resident macrophages (iMACs) that remodel tissue in response to environmental cues. To explore the molecular mechanisms underlying β-cell aging and senescence, we profiled small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs) in FACS-sorted β-cells and iMACs from 3- and 12-month-old mouse islets or from senescence-associated βgal (SA-βgal) positive β-cells 8-month-old mice. Overall, senescent β-cells displayed distinct sncRNA signatures that only partially overlapped with those of aging. However, several miRNAs previously found to be deregulated in obese or diabetic conditions were modulated in both aging and senescent β-cells including upregulation of miRNAs linked to inflammation. In vitro exposure to pro-inflammatory cytokines partially reproduced these profiles. Aging also reshaped the β-cell tRNA-derived fragments (tRF) pool, enhancing global mitochondrial tRFs. Interestingly, some changes in miRNAs and tRFs were β-cell specific, whereas others occurred also in different aged metabolic tissues. iMACs also showed age-related sncRNA remodeling, including upregulation of anti-inflammatory miRNAs and mitochondrial tRFs, suggesting adaptive immune reprogramming. Together, these data reveal a profound, coordinated reshaping of the sncRNA landscape in β-cells and iMACs during aging, offering new insights into molecular mechanisms driving age-related islet dysfunction.

To explore the molecular mechanisms underlying β-cell aging and senescence, we profiled small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs) in FACS-sorted β-cells and iMACs from 3-, 12-, and 22-month-old mouse islets or from senescence-associated βgal (SA-βgal) positive β-cells 8-month-old mice.

Senescence‐associated β‐galactosidase reveals the abundance of senescent CD8+ T cells in aging humans

Project description:Aging leads to a progressive functional decline of the immune system, rendering the elderly increasingly susceptible to disease and infection. The degree to which immune cell senescence contributes to this decline remains unclear, however, since markers that label immune cells with classical features of cellular senescence accurately and comprehensively have not been identified. Using a second‐generation fluorogenic substrate for β‐galactosidase and multi‐parameter flow cytometry, we demonstrate here that peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) isolated from healthy humans increasingly display cells with high senescence‐associated β‐galactosidase (SA‐βGal) activity with advancing donor age. The greatest age‐associated increases were observed in CD8+ T‐cell populations, in which the fraction of cells with high SA‐βGal activity reached average levels of 64% in donors in their 60 s. CD8+ T cells with high SA‐βGal activity, but not those with low SA‐βGal activity, were found to exhibit features of telomere dysfunction‐induced senescence and p16‐mediated senescence, were impaired in their ability to proliferate, developed in various T‐cell differentiation states, and had a gene expression signature consistent with the senescence state previously observed in human fibroblasts. Based on these results, we propose that senescent CD8+ T cells with classical features of cellular senescence accumulate to levels that are significantly higher than previously reported and additionally provide a simple yet robust method for the isolation and characterization of senescent CD8+ T cells with predictive potential for biological age.

5’tRNA-derived fragments modulate beta cell homeostasis and islet macrophage activation in type 2 diabetes - BMDM pull-down

Project description:During obesity and type 2 diabetes, pancreatic β-cells face chronic environmental stress, while islet-resident macrophages (iMACs) undergo metabolic reprogramming that exacerbates β-cell dysfunction. Stress-induced cleavage of tRNAs generates tRNA-derived fragments (tRFs), whose role in this context is not fully understood. We identify elevated levels of 5’tRFGlu(CTC) and 5’tRFGly(GCC) in β-cells and iMACs from db/db mice and in islets from type 2 diabetic (T2D) patients. Notably, 5’tRFGlu(CTC) is also induced under prediabetic conditions and inversely correlates with insulin secretion. Lipotoxic stress triggers their production via Angiogenin-mediated cleavage. Blocking 5’tRFGlu(CTC) in islets protects against β-cell apoptosis and restores insulin secretion under palmitate stress. Using a β-cell/macrophage co-culture system, we show that β-cell contact shapes a unique macrophage phenotype (iMAC-like) that shifts upon palmitate exposure—recapitulating in vivo observations. Inhibiting 5’tRFGlu(CTC) in iMAC-like cells prevents this activation switch, reduces β-cell stress, and improves insulin secretion. Mechanistically, 5’tRFGlu(CTC) interacts with RNA-binding proteins to regulate transcriptional and post-transcriptional pathways linked to immune activation, ECM remodeling, neurogenesis, and oxidative stress. Our study identifies 5’tRFs as key mediators of islet microenvironment remodeling in diabetes, offering new insights into intercellular stress signaling in metabolic disease.

Project description:During obesity and type 2 diabetes, pancreatic β-cells face chronic environmental stress, while islet-resident macrophages (iMACs) undergo metabolic reprogramming that exacerbates β-cell dysfunction.
