Metabolic Biomarkers of Ageing in C57BL/6J Wild-Type and Flavin-Containing Monooxygenase 5 (FMO5)-Knockout Mice

ABSTRACT: It was recently demonstrated in mice that knockout of the flavin-containing monooxygenase 5 gene, Fmo5, slows metabolic ageing via pleiotropic effects. We have now used an NMR-based metabonomics approach to study the effects of ageing directly on the metabolic profiles of urine and plasma from male, wild-type C57BL/6J and Fmo5−/− (FMO5 KO) mice back-crossed onto the C57BL/6J background. The aim of this study was to identify metabolic signatures that are associated with ageing in both these mouse lines and to characterize the age-related differences in the metabolite profiles between the FMO5 KO mice and their wild-type counterparts at equivalent time points. We identified a range of age-related biomarkers in both urine and plasma. Some metabolites, including urinary 6-hydroxy-6-methylheptan-3-one (6H6MH3O), a mouse sex pheromone, showed similar patterns of changes with age, regardless of genetic background. Others, however, were altered only in the FMO5 KO, or only in the wild-type mice, indicating the impact of genetic modifications on mouse ageing. Elevated concentrations of urinary taurine represent a distinctive, ageing-related change observed only in wild-type mice.

The use of urinary proteomics in the assessment of suitability of mouse models for ageing.

Project description:Ageing is a complex process characterised by a systemic and progressive deterioration of biological functions. As ageing is associated with an increased prevalence of age-related chronic disorders, understanding its underlying molecular mechanisms can pave the way for therapeutic interventions and managing complications. Animal models such as mice are commonly used in ageing research as they have a shorter lifespan in comparison to humans and are also genetically close to humans. To assess the translatability of mouse ageing to human ageing, the urinary proteome in 89 wild-type (C57BL/6) mice aged between 8-96 weeks was investigated using capillary electrophoresis coupled to mass spectrometry (CE-MS). Using age as a continuous variable, 295 peptides significantly correlated with age in mice were identified. To investigate the relevance of using mouse models in human ageing studies, a comparison was performed with a previous correlation analysis using 1227 healthy subjects. In mice and humans, a decrease in urinary excretion of fibrillar collagens and an increase of uromodulin fragments was observed with advanced age. Of the 295 peptides correlating with age, 49 had a strong homology to the respective human age-related peptides. These ortholog peptides including several collagen (N= 44) and uromodulin (N= 5) fragments were used to generate an ageing classifier that was able to discriminate the age among both wild-type mice and healthy subjects. Additionally, the ageing classifier depicted that telomerase knock-out mice were older than their chronological age. Hence, with a focus on ortholog urinary peptides mouse ageing can be translated to human ageing.

Metabolomics of the interaction between PPAR-alpha and age in the PPAR-alpha-null mouse (NMR assay)

Project description:Regulation between the fed and fasted state in mammals is partially controlled by peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-alpha (PPAR-alpha). Expression of the receptor is high in liver, heart and skeletal muscle, but decreases with age. A combined 1H NMR spectroscopy and GC-MS metabolomic approach has been used to examine metabolism in liver, heart, skeletal muscle and adipose tissue in PPAR-alpha null mice and wild type controls during ageing between 3-13 months. For the PPAR-alpha-null mouse multivariate statistics highlighted hepatic steatosis, reductions in the concentrations of glucose and glycogen in both liver and muscle tissue, and profound changes in lipid metabolism in each tissue, reflecting known expression targets of the PPAR-alpha receptor. Hepatic glycogen and glucose also decreased with age for both genotypes. These findings indicate the development of age related hepatic steatosis in the PPAR-alpha-null mouse, with the normal metabolic changes associated with ageing exacerbating changes associated with genotype. Furthermore, the combined metabolomic and multivariate statistics approach provides a robust method for examining the interaction between age and genotype. </p> The GC-MS assay for this study can be found in the MetaboLights study MTBLS314.

Global analysis of kidney gene expression by RNA-Seq of aged CTRP1-deficient mice on high-fat diet

Project description:Aging and obesity profoundly influence organ system health by altering circulating levels of hormones, growth factors, and cytokines. C1q/TNF-related protein 1 (CTRP1) is an endocrine factor with important metabolic, cardiovascular, and renal functions. We sought to determine the impact of CTRP1 deficiency on heart and kidney function in the context of aging and obesity using aged and obese wild-type (WT) and Ctrp1 knockout (KO) mice fed a high-fat diet for eight months or longer. Surprisingly, no differences were observed in blood pressure, heart function, or vascular stiffness between genotypes. Loss of CTRP1, however, resulted in renal enlargement (relative to body weight), reduced urinary creatinine, elevated urinary total protein content and pH, and changes in renal gene expression affecting sugar, fat, and amino acid metabolism pathways. Assessment of glomerular integrity, the extent of podocyte foot process effacement, as well as renal response to water restriction and salt loading did not reveal significant differences between WT and Ctrp1-KO mice. Interestingly, blood platelet, white blood cell, neutrophil, lymphocyte, and eosinophil counts were significantly elevated, whereas mean corpuscular volume and hemoglobin were reduced in Ctrp1-KO mice. Cytokine profiling revealed increased circulating levels of CCL17 and TIMP-1 in KO mice. Compared to a previous study, our current data suggest that chronic high-fat feeding affects renal phenotypes differently than similarly aged mice fed a control low-fat diet, highlighting a diet-dependent contribution of CTRP1 deficiency to age-related changes in renal structure and function.

Hippocampal gene expression in aged and young HSD1 knockout mice

Project description:Mice deficient in the glucocorticoid-regenerating enzyme 11Î²-HSD1 resist age-related spatial memory impairment. To investigate the mechanisms/pathways involved, we used microarrays to identify differentially expressed hippocampal genes that associate with cognitive ageing and 11Î²-HSD1. Aged wild-type mice were separated into memory-impaired and unimpaired relative to young controls according to their performance in the Y-maze. All individual aged 11Î²-HSD1-deficient mice showed intact spatial memory. The majority of differentially expressed hippocampal genes were increased with ageing (e.g. immune/inflammatory response genes) with no genotype differences. However, the neuronal-specific transcription factor, Npas4 and immediate early gene, Arc were reduced (relative to young) in the hippocampus of memory-impaired but not unimpaired aged wild-type or aged 11Î²-HSD1-deficient mice. Quantitative RT-PCR and in situ hybridization confirmed reduced Npas4 and Arc mRNA expression in memory-impaired aged wild-type mice. These findings suggest that 11Î²-HSD1 may contribute to the decline in Npas4 and Arc mRNA levels associated with memory impairment during ageing, and that decreased activity of synaptic plasticity pathways involving Npas4 and Arc may, in part, underlie the memory deficits seen in cognitively-impaired aged wild-type mice. 20 samples, 5 groups of 4 biological replicates each. Young, Wild Type animals are overall controls

Hippocampal gene expression in aged and young HSD1 knockout mice

Project description:Mice deficient in the glucocorticoid-regenerating enzyme 11β-HSD1 resist age-related spatial memory impairment. To investigate the mechanisms/pathways involved, we used microarrays to identify differentially expressed hippocampal genes that associate with cognitive ageing and 11β-HSD1.

Expression data of MCK conditional frataxin knock-out mice

Project description:Frataxin deficiency in human is the cause of Friedreich's ataxia (FA), a lethal neuro- and cardio-degenerative disease. Knock-out (KO) mice of this mouse model of FA exhibit classical cardiomyopathy of the patients. The onset of FA phenotypes in the KO mice is approximately 6-7 weeks of age. This genearray analysis was conducted to examine the changes in gene expression in the heart of KO mice relative to their wild-type (WT) littermates at 4- and 10-weeks of age. At 10-weeks of age, the KO mice begin to die from severe cardiomyopathy.
