Project description:This study investigates the effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) on cellular senescence and aging-related phenotypes. In naturally aged mice, HBO treatment reduced systemic senescence burden and reversed aging-related transcriptomic signatures in skin, liver, and kidney tissues. Additionally, single-session HBO exposure was shown to preferentially suppress SASP propagation in human stromal cells. This dataset includes transcriptomic profiles of skin, liver, and kidney tissues from young, aged, and HBO-treated aged mice, as well as human primary prostate stromal cells (PSC27).

Project description:This study investigates the role of oligodendroglial Serpina3n in brain aging by examining its depletion using Olig2-Cre Serpina3n flox/flox mice model. To assess the molecular impact of oligodendroglial Serpina3n depletion on brain aging, RNA-seq was performed on forebrain samples from three experimental groups: 1) Young Wild-Type Mice (2-month-old): Representing baseline gene expression in a young, healthy brain; 2) Aged Wild-Type Mice (22-month-old): Serving as a control group to analyze age-related changes in gene expression without genetic modifications. 3) Aged Olig2-Cre Serpina3n flox/flox mice (22-month-old): Assessing the effects of oligodendroglial Serpina3n depletion on the transcriptomic profile of aged brains. The experiment aims to identify gene expression changes associated with normal brain aging by comparing young and aged wild-type mice, determine the specific impact of oligodendroglial Serpina3n depletion on the aged brain by comparing aged wild-type mice to aged knockout mice, and highlight molecular mechanisms influenced by Serpina3n in the context of brain aging. This design allows for a comparative analysis of aging-related transcriptional changes and the specific contribution of Serpina3n depletion in this process.

Project description:Aging is accompanied by expression changes in multiple genes and the brain is one of the tissues most vulnerable to aging. Since the alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) subunit has been associated with neurodevelopmental disorders and cognitive decline during aging, we hypothesized that its absence might affect gene expression profiles in aged brains. To study whether transcriptional changes occur due to aging, alpha7 deficiency or both, we analyzed whole brain transcriptomes of young (8 week) and aged (2 year) alpha7 deficient and wild-type control mice, using Mouse Genome 430 2.0 microarray. Highly significant expression changes were detected in 47 and 1543 genes (after Bonferroni and FDR correction) in the brains of aged mice compared to young mice, regardless of their genotype. These included genes involved in immune system function and ribosome structure, as well as genes that were previously demonstrated as differentially expressed in aging human brains. Genotype-dependent changes were detected in only 3 genes, Chrna7 which encodes the alpha7 nAChR subunit, and two closely linked genes, likely due to a mouse background effect. Expression changes dependent on age-genotype interaction were detected in 207 genes (with a low significance threshold). Age-dependent differential expression levels were approved in all nine genes that were chosen for validation by real-time RT-PCR. Our results suggest that the robust effect of aging on brain transcription clearly overcomes the almost negligible effect of alpha7 nAChR subunit deletion, and that germline deficiency of this subunit has a minor effect on brain expression profile in aged mice. Total of 20 samples. 10 from young adult mice (8 weeks) and 10 from aged mice (2 years). In each age group, 5 were wild-type control mice and 5 alpha7 nAChR subunit defecient mice

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous small RNA molecules that regulate gene expression post-transcriptionally. Work in Caenorhabditis elegans has shown that specific miRNAs function in lifespan regulation and in a variety of age-associated pathways, but the roles of miRNAs in the aging of vertebrates are not well understood. We examined the expression of small RNAs in whole brains of young and old mice by deep sequencing and report here on the expression of 233 known miRNAs and identification of 41 novel miRNAs. Of these miRNAs, 75 known and 18 novel miRNAs exhibit greater than 2.0-fold expression changes. The majority of expressed miRNAs in our study decline in relative abundance in the aged brain, in agreement with trends observed in other miRNA studies in aging tissues and organisms. Target prediction analysis suggests that many of our novel aging-associated miRNAs target genes in the insulin signaling pathway, a central node of aging-associated genetic networks. These novel miRNAs may thereby regulate aging-related functions in the brain. Since mouse miRNAs are conserved in humans, the aging-affected brain miRNAs we report here may represent novel regulatory genes that function during aging in the human brain. 2 samples examined: Mouse brain from two young (5 months) and two old animals (24-25 months).

Project description:Recent studies show that acute injury to non-aged podocytes induces many similarities to healthy aged podocytes, such as decreased lifespan and health-span. Like healthy aged podocytes, injury to young mouse and human podocytes can induce a senescent phenotype. This begs the question if injury to young podocytes phenocopies a healthy middle-aged podocyte, and if the pathways underlying senescence and other injury responses overlap between injured young podocytes and healthy middle-aged podocytes. To address this knowledge gap we induced hypertension, a major cause of chronic kidney disease, in young mice (4m of age~20-year-old human) and in middle-aged mice (18m of age, ~55+ year old human) with deoxycorticosterone and high salt (DOCA) and compared outcomes to non-hypertensive healthy middle-aged mice. In both healthy middle-aged mice and in young mice with hypertension, the increase in age-related senescent genes p16 and p19, along with the stress-related senescent genes p21 and p53 were similar. Bulk RNA-sequencing of podocytes showed that the senescent associated secretory phenotype and individual genes from several aging gene sets were also similar between middle-aged mice and young mice with hypertension. Of the highest enriched Hallmark pathways in middle-aged podocytes, 95% were also enriched in young mice treated with DOCA. Gene set enrichment analysis of podocytes showed that 36 genes overlapped between middle-aged mice, and young and middle-aged mice given DOCA, while 119 genes identified were “DOCA-specific”. These results suggest that hypertension in young mice induces podocyte injury and an aging/senescent phenotype that is similar to the one of podocytes from healthy middle-aged mice.

Project description:The retina is a light-sensitive highly-organized tissue, which is vulnerable to aging and age-related retinal diseases. However, the effects of aging on retinal cell types including those present in neural retina and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), as well as cell types in choroid layer remain largely unknown. Here, we established the single-cell transcriptomic atlas of the retina and adjacent choroid in young and aged non-human primates (NHPs), identifying 15 cell types with distinct gene expression signatures and finding several novel markers. Our analysis reveals that oxidative stress is a major aging feature of the cells in the neural retinal layer, whereas an enhanced inflammatory response is that of RPE and choroidal cells. We also found that the RPE cell is the cell type most susceptible to aging in retina, as evidenced by the decreased cell density as well as the highest numbers of differentially expressed genes overlapping with genes underlying aging and aging-related retinal diseases, along with aberrant cell-cell interactions with its two adjacent layers. Altogether, our study provides the roadmap for understanding retinal aging in a NHP model at single-cell resolution, enabling the identification of new diagnostic biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets for age-related human retinal disorders.

Project description:We show that platelet factors transfer rejuvenating effects of young plasma to the aging brain. Proteomic analysis of plasma from young and aged mice identified age-related changes in platelets. Systemic exposure of aged animals to the platelet fraction of young plasma decreased hippocampal neuroinflammation at a transcriptional and cellular level and ameliorated cognitive impairments. We identified the platelet-derived chemokine CXCL4/Platelet Factor-4 (PF4) as a pro-youthful circulating factor. Systemic PF4 administration decreased age-related neuroinflammation, restored the aging peripheral immune system to a more youthful state, and improved hippocampal-dependent learning and memory in aged mice.

Project description:Chromosome aneuploidy increases in oocytes with maternal age, and is considered the leading cause for the increased incidence of infertility, miscarriage, and birth defects. Using mRNA-Sequencing of oocytes from 12 month old mouse versus 3 month young mouse, we identified a spindle assembly checkpoint gene, BubR1, whose expression was significantly decreased. We employed a mRNA microinjection based approach to increase BubR1 expression in aging oocytes. We find that increased expression of BubR1 protects against aneuploidy and chromosome misalignment in aging oocytes. After in vitro fertilization, the embryos derived from BubR1 increased expression aging oocytes exhibited chromosome stability as robust as those of the young ones. Furthermore, following embryo transfer, these embryos showed greatly improved developmental competency, with comparable levels of full-term development to those of the young ones. These results indicate that the decline in oocyte quality may be reversible and could lead to treatments that prolong female fertility. Examination of the effect of maternal aging on the mRNA expression in the mature oocytes of the female mice. Naturally ovulated mature oocytes (MII stage) were collected from 6 young (3 month) and 6 aging (12 month) female mice (3 oocytes per mice, 18 oocytes for each group).

Project description:Aging is believed to be the result of alterations of protein expression and accumulation of changes in biomolecules. Although there are numerous reports demonstrating changes in protein expression in brain during aging, only few of them describe global changes in the protein level. Here, we present a deepest quantitative proteomic analysis of three brain regions, hippocampus, cortex and cerebellum, in mice aged 1 and 12 months, using the total protein approach technique. In all the brain regions, both in young and in middle-aged animals, we identified over 6,700 proteins. We found that although the total protein expression in middle-aged brain structures is practically unaffected by aging, there are significant differences between young adult and middle-aged mice in the expression of some receptors and signaling cascade proteins proven to be significant for learning and memory formation. Our analysis demonstrates that hippocampus is the most unstable structure during natural aging and that the first symptoms of weakening of neuronal plasticity may be observed on protein level in middle-aged animals.
