Alterations in lipid profile of the aging kidney identified by MALDI imaging mass spectrometry

ABSTRACT: During aging, the kidney undergoes functional and physiological changes that are closely affiliated with chronic kidney disease (CKD). There is increasing evidence supporting the role of lipid or lipid-derived mediators in the pathogenesis of CKD and other aging-related diseases. To understand the role of lipids in various metabolic processes during kidney aging, we conducted MALDI imaging mass spectrometry (MALDI-IMS) analysis in kidneys harvested from young (2 months old, n=3) and old mice (24 months old, n=3). MALDI-IMS analysis showed an increase in ceramide level and a decrease in sphingomyelin (SM) and phosphatidylcholine (PC) levels in kidneys of old mice. The increased expression of cPLA2 and SMPD1 protein in aged kidney was confirmed by immunohistochemistry and western blot analysis. Our MALDI-IMS data showed the altered distribution of lipids in aged kidney as indicative of aging-related functional changes of the kidney. Combined analysis of MALDI-IMS and IHC confirmed lipidomic changes and expression levels of responsible enzymes as well as morphological changes.

Project description:Adult aging is a complex biological process associated with altered gene expression and a decline in physiological performance. The microRNAs have been implicated in cardiac development, cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure. However, the impact of adult aging on cardiac expression of both miRNA guide strand (miR) and passenger strand (miR*), as well as miRNA clusters have not been well established. We explored the expression profile of both miR and miR* in the heart. We found that 65 miRNAs were differentially expressed in old versus young adult heart; approximately half of them were clustered miRNAs that were distributed in 11 miRNA clusters. Each miRNA cluster contains from 2 to as many as 71 miRNA genes. The majority of the clusters displayed unified expression, with most cluster members within a cluster being either increased or decreased together, suggesting that most clusters are regulated by a common signaling mechanism and that the combined expression of multiple miRNA genes in a cluster could pose an impact on a broad range of targets during aging. We also found age-related changes in the expression of miR*s. Bioinformatic analysis revealed that miR-21 and miR-21* had their own silencing targets. The expression of both miR and miR* correlated with that of pri-miRNA transcript over the time course from development and maturation through adult aging. Age-related changes in the expression of Ago1 and Ago2 proteins in the heart were also observed. Our data suggest that a concert of effects, including transcriptional regulation of pri-miRNA transcript and altered expression of Argonaut proteins, contribute to age-related changes in the expression of both miR and miR* strands during adult aging. The major changes occurred later in life, from middle to old age. It is likely that the expression of both miR and miR* is regulated by transcription and Ago1 and Ago2 proteins. Six healthy C57BL/6 mice were used in this study. Three of them were 4 months old (young adult mice: YA), and the other three were 24 months old (old mice). Total RNA samples were isolated from mouse hearts and then shipped to Exiqon Inc., where microRNA array analysis was performed. Three array slides were used for the hybridization. Each array slide hybridized with two samples labeld with either Hy3 or Hy5, with array #1 being hybridized with samples YA-1 (Hy3) and Old-1 (Hy5), array #2 with samples YA-2 (Hy3) and Old-2 (Hy5) and array #3 with samples YA-3 (Hy5) and Old-3 (Hy3). In our publication, we reveal the detail of the experiment and statistical analysis that were provided by Exiqon Inc.
