Project description:The kidney is an excellent model for studying organ aging. Kidney function shows steady decline with age and is easy to assay using urine or blood samples. However, little is known about the molecular changes that take place in the kidney during the aging process. In order to better understand the molecular changes that occur with age, we measured mRNA and protein levels in 188 genetically diverse mice at ages 6, 12, and 18 months. We observed distinctive change in mRNA and protein levels as a function of age. Changes in both mRNA and protein are associated with increased immune infiltration and decreases in mitochondrial function. Proteins show a greater extent of change and reveal changes in a wide array of biological processes including unique, organ-specific features of aging in kidney. Most importantly, we observed functionally important age-related changes in protein that occur in the absence of corresponding changes in mRNA. Our findings suggest that mRNA profiling alone provides an incomplete picture of molecular aging in the kidney and that examination of changes in proteins is essential to understand aging processes that are not transcriptionally regulated.

Project description:Genetic variation governs protein expression through both transcriptional and post-transcriptional processes. To investigate this relationship, we combined a multiplexed, mass spectrometry-based method for protein quantification with an emerging mouse model harboring extensive genetic variation from 8 founder strains. We collected genome-wide mRNA and protein profiling measurements to link genetic variation to protein expression differences in livers from 192 diversity outcross mice. We observed nearly 3,700 protein-level quantitative trait loci (pQTL) with an equal proportion of proteins regulated directly by their cognate mRNA as uncoupled from their transcript. Our analysis reveals an extensive array of at least five models for genetic variant control of protein abundance including direct protein-to-protein associations that act to achieve stoichiometric balance of functionally related enzymes and subunits of multimeric complexes.

Project description:A progressive loss of protein homeostasis is characteristic of aging and a driver of neurodegeneration. To investigate this process quantitatively, we characterized proteome dynamics during brain aging in the short-lived vertebrate Nothobranchius furzeri combining transcriptomics and proteomics. We detected a progressive reduction in the correlation between protein and mRNA, mainly due to post-transcriptional mechanisms that account for over 40% of the age-regulated proteins. These changes cause a progressive loss of stoichiometry in several protein complexes, including ribosomes, which show impaired assembly / dis-assembly and are enriched in protein aggregates in old brains. Mechanistically, we show that reduction of proteasome activity is an early event during brain aging and is sufficient to induce proteomic signatures of aging and loss of stoichiometry in vivo. Using longitudinal transcriptomic data, we show that the magnitude of early life decline in proteasome levels is a major risk factor for mortality. Our work defines causative events in the aging process that can be targeted to prevent loss of protein homeostasis and delay the onset of age-related neurodegeneration.

Project description:Obesity is a polygenic disorder with variable penetrance in the general population. Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is a major regulator of energy expenditure and metabolic physiology due to a specialized proteome that orchestrates futile metabolic cycles, which could be leveraged to treat obesity. However, nearly all mechanistic studies of BAT protein function occur in a single inbred mouse strain, which has limited understanding of generalizable mechanisms of BAT regulation over metabolism. Here we perform deep quantitative multiplexed proteomics of BAT across a cohort of 163 genetically defined Diversity Outbred (DO) mice, a model that parallels the genetic and phenotypic variation found in the human population. Leveraging the high variation afforded by this model, we define the functional architecture of the outbred BAT proteome, comprising 10,479 proteins. In doing so, we assign novel co-operative functions to 2,578 proteins with 780 established protein networks. We demonstrate that this analytic framework enables systematic discovery of regulators of BAT function, exemplified by uncovering SFXN5 and LETMD1 as modulators of UCP1-dependent thermogenesis. We also identify 638 proteins that underlie protection from, or sensitivity to, at least one parameter of metabolic disease. From this basis, we identify the Na+/K+- ATPase α2 subunit as an inhibitor of BAT energy expenditure, that increases adiposity through antagonism of calcium influx-dependent activation of thermogenic effectors. We provide this Outbred Proteomic Architecture as a resource for understanding conserved mechanisms of BAT regulation over metabolic physiology.

Project description:A gradual decline in renal function occurs even in healthy aging individuals. In addition to aging per se, concurrent metabolic syndrome and hypertension, which are common in the aging population, can induce mitochondrial dysfunction, and inflammation, which collectively contribute to age-related kidney disease. Here we studied the role of the nuclear hormone receptors, the estrogen related receptors (ERRs) in regulation of age-related mitochondrial dysfunction and inflammation. ERRs are decreased in aging human and mouse kidneys and preserved in aging mice with lifelong caloric restriction (CR). Our studies identified ERRs as important modulators of age-related mitochondrial dysfunction and inflammation. ERRα, ERRβ, and ERRγ levels are decreased in the aging kidney. Remarkably, only a 4-week treatment of 21-month-old mice with the pan ERR agonist reversed the age-related increases in albuminuria and podocyte loss, mitochondrial dysfunction and inflammatory cytokines, including the cGAS-STING and STAT3 signaling pathways. A 3-week treatment of 21-month-old mice with a STING inhibitor reversed the increases in inflammatory cytokines and the senescence marker p21 but also unexpectedly reversed the age-related decreases in PGC-1α, ERRα, mitochondrial complexes and Mcad expression.

Project description:Mammalian tissues engage in specialized physiology that is regulated by post-translational protein modification. A major mode of protein regulation is initiated by reactive oxygen species (ROS) that reversibly modify protein cysteine residues. ROS regulate a myriad of biological processes and ROS dysregulation has long been implicated in age-related dysfunction. However, the protein targets of ROS modification that underlie tissue-specific physiology in vivo are largely unknown. Here we develop a mass spectrometric technology for the first comprehensive and quantitative mapping of the mouse cysteine redox proteome in vivo. We report the cysteine redox landscape across 10 tissues in young and old mice and establish several unexpected and fundamental paradigms of redox signaling. We define and validate cysteine redox networks within each tissue that are highly tissue-selective and underlie tissue-specific biology. We determine a common mechanism for encoding cysteine redox sensitivity by local electrostatic gating. Finally, we comprehensively identify redox-modified disease networks that remodel in aged mice, providing a systemic molecular basis for the longstanding proposed links between redox dysregulation and tissue aging. We provide the Oximouse compendium as a framework for understanding mechanisms of redox regulation in physiology and aging.

Project description:Genetic background is a major driver of the phenotypic variability observed across pluripotent stem cells (PSCs), and studies addressing it have relied on transcript abundance as the primary molecular readout of cell state. However, little is known about how proteins, the functional units in the cell, vary across genetically diverse PSCs and how this relates to variation in other measures of gene output. Here we present the first comprehensive genetic study characterizing the pluripotent proteome using 190 unique mouse embryonic stem cell lines derived from highly heterogeneous Diversity Outbred mice. Moreover, we integrated the proteome with chromatin accessibility and transcript abundance in 163 cell lines with matching genotypes using multi-omics factor analysis to distinguish shared and unique drivers of variability across molecular layers. Our findings highlight the power of multi-omics data integration in revealing the distal impacts of genetic variation. We show that limitations in mapping of individual molecular traits may be overcome by utilizing data integration to consolidate the influence of genetic signals shared across molecular traits and increase detection power.

Project description:To investigate whether lifestyle factors modulate the stability of gene promoter methylation in the normal aging colonic mucosa, we performed genome-scale DNA methylation profiling of 178 normal colon biopsies using the Illumina Infinium DNA methylation assay, which assesses the DNA methylation status of 27,578 CpG sites located at the promoter regions of 14,495 protein-coding genes. We identified Aspirin use and hormonal replacement therapy (HRT) suppress, whereas a high body mass index (BMI) and smoking promote age-related hyermethylation. Many of these loci modulated by lifestyle in the healthy colon mucosa coincide with loci hypermethylated in colorectal cancers and down-regulated in adenomas. The data show that lifestyle modulates the stability of DNA methylation in the aging colonic epithelium and thereby impacts the rate of evolution of cancer methylomes. Bisulphite converted DNA from the 178 samples were hybridised to the Illumina Infinium 27k Human Methylation Beadchip v1.2

Project description:Transcriptional Profile of Aging in C. elegans Whole-genome analysis of gene expression during chronological aging of the worm provides a rich database of age-specific changes in gene expression and represents one way to distinguish among these models. Using a rigorous statistical model with multiple replicates, we find that a relatively small number of genes (only 164) show statistically significant changes in transcript levels as aging occurs (<1% of the genome). Expression of heat shock proteins decreases, while expression of certain transposases increases in older worms, and these findings are consistent with a higher mortality risk due to a failure in homeostenosis and destabilization of the genome in older animals. Finally, a specific subset of genes is coordinately altered both during chronological aging and in the transition from the reproductive form to the dauer, demonstrating a mechanistic overlap in aging between these two processes.
