Project description:BackgroundAging is a complex biological process characterized by progressive molecular alterations across multiple organ systems, significantly influencing disease susceptibility and mortality. Unraveling molecular interactions driving aging is crucial for interventions promoting healthy aging and mitigating senescence. However, the systemic mechanisms governing both inter-organ interactions and organ-specific aging trajectories remain incompletely characterized.MethodsTo investigate the molecular dynamics of aging, we conducted a systematic multi-omics analysis of 400 tissue samples collected from 10 organs (brain, heart, intestine, kidney, liver, lung, muscle, skin, spleen, and stomach) in mice at four distinct life stages: 4, 8, 12, and 20 months (from youth to elderly). Proteomic profiling was performed using data-independent acquisition (DIA) technology, while metabolomic analysis was performed in both positive and negative ion modes. Differential expression analysis of proteins and metabolites was employed to construct a comprehensive multi-organ aging dataset. ResultsProteomic profiling across ten organs at four age stages identified a total of 14,763 protein groups (PGs). Of these, 18 proteins, including Ighm, C4b, and Hpx, exhibited consistent age-related differential expression patterns across all ten organs. Functional enrichment analysis highlighted the humoral immune response as a primary driver of age-related expression changes. Additionally, this study mapped a set of age-unique proteins, such as Hp, Egf, and Arg, with distinct expression patterns in aging organs. Metabolic analysis identified 3,779 metabolites, with key aging-related metabolites such as NAD+, inosine, xanthine, and hypoxanthine showing significant expression changes across multiple organs. Pathway enrichment analysis revealed consistent alterations in purine metabolism, pyrimidine metabolism, riboflavin metabolism, and nicotinate/nicotinamide metabolism during multi-organ aging.ConclusionsThis study provides a multi-omics atlas of multi-organ aging, revealing both intra- and inter-organ similarities and heterogeneities. These findings offer valuable insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying geriatric health decline and serve as a foundational resource for organism-systematic early warning and targeted interventions against aging-associated pathologies.

Project description:Cellular senescence is associated with aging but also impacts various physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development and wound healing. Factors secreted by senescent cells can affect their microenvironment, including local spreading of senescence. Acute severe liver disease is associated with hepatocyte senescence and frequently progresses to multi-organ failure. Why the latter occurs is poorly understood however, the presence of hepatic senescence is associated with poor prognosis and extrahepatic organ failure in acute liver disease. Here, using genetic mouse models of hepatocyte-specific senescence, we demonstrate senescence development in extrahepatic organs and associated organ dysfunction in response to liver senescence. In patients with acute indeterminate hepatitis, the extent of hepatocellular senescence predicts the occurrence of extrahepatic dysfunction, need for liver transplantation and mortality. We identify the Transforming Growth Factor β (TGFβ) pathway as a critical mediator of systemic spread of senescence and TGFβ inhibition blocks senescence transmission to other organs preventing renal dysfunction. Our results highlight the systemic consequences of organ-specific senescence which, independent of aging, contributes to multi-organ dysfunction.

Project description:Aging organs functionally and structurally decline with the loss of their regenerative capabilities, yet the existence of distinct cell division programs that determine organ fates is unknown. Hair follicles, mammalian mini-organs that grow hair, miniaturize by aging. Here we report that hair follicle regeneration and aging are driven by distinct cell division types of hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs). Cell fate tracing and cell division axis analysis in mice revealed that HFSCs undergo symmetric and asymmetric cell divisions to generate a new bulge, yet preferentially provoke “stress-responsive type” asymmetric cell divisions that generate aberrantly differentiating cells upon age/stress. That dynamic program with repetitive divisions efficiently eradicates those cells through defective association and stabilization of a hemidesmosomal protein COL17A1 and a cell-polarity-protein aPKCλ in HFSCs, thereby causing organ aging. The forced stabilization of COL17A1 rescued organ aging through aPKCλ stabilization. These results demonstrate that distinct cell division programs govern tissue/organ fates.

Project description:Cellular senescence is a hallmark of aging, and the accumulation of senescent cells (SnCs) accelerates the aging process and contributes to aging-related organ disorders. The PRDMs exhibit robust transcriptional regulatory activity and govern a wide range of biological processes. However, the role of PRDMs in cellular senescence and aging remain unclear. Here, we have demonstrated that PRDM16, among PRDMs, is decreased significantly in multiple organs of aged mice compared to young mice. Global Prdm16 deletion contributes to cellular senescence in various organs, including the kidney, heart, lung, brain hippocampus, stomach, and gut; subsequently leading to accelerated aging-related organ injury. Furthermore, tubular specific Prdm16 deletion aggravates irradiation induced kidney aging, and aging-related kidney disease subjected to ischemia reperfusion surgery. Exogenous PRDM16 gene delivery by lentivirus effectively attenuates cellular senescence in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, PRDM16 improves glutathione metabolism and inhibits oxidative DNA damage, the driving force of senescence. Especially, PRDM16 increases glutathione-S-transferase activity by upregulating the transcription of GSTM1. Transfection of GSTM1 restored cellular senescence and kidney aging caused by PRDM16 deficiency. Taken together, we provide a potential target for investigating the anti-aging therapy.

Project description:A major aging hallmark is the accumulation of cellular senescence burden. Over time senescent cells contribute to tissue deterioration through chronic inflammation and fibrosis driven by the Senescence-Associated Secretory Phenotype (SASP). The human ovary is one of the first organs to age, and prominent age-related fibroinflammation within the ovarian microenvironment is consistent with the presence of senescent cells. However, bona fide senescent cells have not been validated in the human ovary. Therefore, we established a doxorubicin-induced model of cellular senescence to define a signature of ovarian senescent cells. Explants of human postmenopausal ovarian cortex and medulla were treated with doxorubicin for 24 hours followed by culture for up to 10 days in doxorubicin-free medium. Tissue viability was confirmed by histology, lack of apoptosis, and continued glucose consumption by explants. Single nuclei sequencing and proteomics revealed an unbiased signature of ovarian senescence. We identified distinct senescence profiles for the cortex and medulla, driven predominantly by epithelial and stromal cells. Proteomics uncovered subregional differences in addition to 120 proteins common to the cortex and medulla SASP. Integration of transcriptomic and proteomic analyses revealed 26 shared markers, defining a robust senotype of doxorubicin-induced senescence unique to the postmenopausal ovary. A subset of these proteins - Lumican, SOD2, MYH9 , and Periostin - were mapped onto native tissue to reveal compartment-specific localization. This senotype will help determine the role of cellular senescence in ovarian aging and inform the development of biomarkers to identify and therapeutic applications to slow or reverse ovarian aging, senescence, and cancer.

Project description:Cellular senescence is a hallmark of aging and the accumulation of senescent cells (SnCs) accelerates the aging process, contributing to aging-related organ disorders. The PRDF1 and RIZ1 homology domain (PRDM) protein exhibits robust transcriptional regulatory activities and governs a wide range of biological processes. However, its roles in cellular senescence remain unclear. Here, we demonstrated that PRDM16, a member of the PRDM protein family, decreased significantly in multiple organs of aged mice compared to young mice. Global Prdm16 deletion contributed to cellular senescence in various organs, including the kidneys, heart, lungs, hippocampus, stomach, and gut, leading to accelerated aging-related organ injury. Furthermore, tubular-specific Prdm16 deletion aggravated irradiation-induced kidney aging and aging-related kidney diseases in irradiated mice subjected to ischemia-reperfusion surgery. Exogenous PRDM16 gene delivery by lentivirus effectively attenuated cellular senescence in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, PRDM16 improved glutathione metabolism and inhibited oxidative DNA damage, which is a driving force of senescence. Specifically, PRDM16 upregulated the transcription of glutathione S-transferase mu 1 (GSTM1) by binding to its promoter region. Transfection with GSTM1 reversed PRDM16 deficiency-induced cellular senescence and kidney aging. Collectively, our results provide a potential target for the investigation of anti-aging therapies.

Project description:The importance of brain-body interactions in the progresses of diseases are increasingly noticed, and understanding the associated processes could vastly improve the health of whole organism. A comprehensive, whole-organism analysis of organ dynamics to identify the molecular processes within and between organs after brain injury caused by ischemic stroke has been lacking. Mice models of 24 hours ischemic brain injury are constructed. Proteomics and metabolomics are used to detect the changes of organ’s proteome and metaboleome, respectively, and multiple bioinformatics analysis are performed to investigate the changing signatures across organs after stroke. Then, the organ proteomics data combined with aging mouse organ transcriptome data and mouse organ scRNA-seq data to reveal the biological age of organs and cellular resource of differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) of organs after stroke, respectively. Finally, we cross-referenced stroke-related DEPs in plasma with their corresponding protein expression in each organ to investigate the original source of plasma proteins by using spearman’s correlation analysis. Bioinformatics analysis showing the synchronization and asynchronization of the stroke-related proteins involved in multiple regulatory pathways are universally across organs. Although significant inter-organ correlations exist without influenced by stroke, the protein expression changes may better reflect the inter-organ correlation after brain injury by sharing some common changing signatures. Then, hundreds of DEPs in organs with the greatest numbers of DEPs are revealed in heart, and they are unique and common expressed between organs. Notably, an integrate analysis of these DEPs with mouse aging RNA-seq data reveal ageing-like changes in organs, suggesting increased biological ages of organs. Furthermore, a conjoint analysis of our proteomic data with scRNA-seq data confirms the cellular source of DEPs originated from intrinsic cells and immune cells, and the latter are widely located and activated in organs. Finally, we find that some DEPs in plasma are highly correlated with corresponding protein levels in distinct organs, potentially resulting in the stroke of the systemic circulation. Together, this study demonstrates a similar yet asynchronous inter- and intra-organ progression of stroke, providing a fundamental resource for understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying brain-body interaction and potential interventions for brain injury.

Project description:Ageing is a key risk factor for disease and mortality in humans and other animals, with most insights derived from genomic, epigenomic, and transcriptomic studies. However, large-scale datasets on age-related changes at the protein level remain scarce. To fill this gap, we performed a comprehensive quantitative proteomic analysis across eight major organs—brain, heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, spleen, skeletal muscle, and testis—in male C57BL/6J mice, sampled at key life stages: young adult (3–5 months), adult (8 months), mid-life (14 months), and late life (20–26 months). Our results revealed diverse rates of protein expression changes, ranging from rapid (kidneys, spleen) to moderate (liver, lungs) to minimal (skeletal muscle, testis) and subtle (heart, brain). Aging onset appeared earlier in the spleen and kidneys compared to the liver and lungs. By isolating the non-blood proteome, we identified enriched organ-specific processes like oxidative phosphorylation (kidneys) and lipid metabolism (liver), along with shared processes across organs. These findings provide valuable insights into organ-specific and shared protein dynamics underlying age-related diseases.

Project description:To elucidate the aging-associated cellular population dynamics throughout the body, here we present PanSci, a single-cell transcriptome atlas profiling over 20 million cells from 623 mouse tissue samples, encompassing a range of organs across different developmental stages, genders, and genotypes. This comprehensive dataset allowed us to identify more than 3,000 unique cellular states and catalog over 200 distinct aging-associated cell populations experiencing significant depletion or expansion. Our panoramic analysis uncovered four distinct, temporally structured aging-related cell population dynamic waves that are organ- and lineage-specific. Moreover, we investigated aging-associated alterations in immune cell populations, revealing both widespread shifts and organ-specific changes. We further explored the regulatory roles of the immune system on aging and pinpointed specific age-related cell population expansions that are lymphocyte-dependent. The breadth and depth of our 'cell-omics' methodology not only enhance our comprehension of cellular aging but also lay the groundwork for exploring the complex regulatory networks among varied cell types in the context of aging and aging-associated diseases.
