Project description:Telomere length is important for the maintaining the individual health of a species. However, recent studies have indicated that the telomere length of somatic cells can be drastically decreased in the offspring receiving in vitro fertilization (IVF) therapy, however, the underlying molecular mechanism remains unknown. Sirt6 is a NAD+-dependent epigenetic regulator that has recently been found to play an important role in maintaining telomere stability. Here, we report for the first time that NAD+ levels are significantly lower in blastocysts cultured in vitro than that in blastocysts developed in vivo, leading to impaired Sirt6 function, further triggering telomere shortening of the inner cell mass and possibly affecting newborn offspring. This phenotype could be effectively mitigated by supplementation with NMN, a precursor of NAD+, during in vitro culture.While it could not be achieved in Sirt6 conditional knockout embryos. Our results reveal the mechanism by which in vitro culture induces telomere shortening in preimplantation embryos, providing a potential target for improving in vitro culture conditions.

Project description:Telomere shortening is universally acquired with aging in humans, but the contribution of telomere shortening to immune aging is not fully understood. Here, we studied T cells derived from short telomere syndrome patients and compared their T cell profile and function to controls and elderly individuals who had normal age-adjusted telomere length. The short telomere syndrome patients were all under age 40 and carried mutant telomerase or telomere genes and had telomere lengths below the 1st age-adjusted percentile. The T cell profile of young short telomere syndrome patients resembled those that were five decades older including a depletion of naive T cell population and accumulation of terminally differentiated effector cells. To test whether short telomeres affect the quality of these cells, we performed a gene expression microarray. The data are summarized here. We found that although numerically expanded in both short telomere and elderly cases, the gene expression microarrays were distinct with short telomere cells predominately upregulating gene expression of DNA damage pathways and elderly T cells upregulating cell extrinsic apoptotic pathways. The goal of the experiment is to highlight important genes and pathways that may drive immune aging in short telomere syndromes and which may also contribute to normal immune aging.

Project description:Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by mutations in the LMNA gene, resulting in progerin accumulation and accelerated aging, with limited therapeutic options currently available. This study demonstrates the significant therapeutic potential of nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) in alleviating HGPS phenotypes at both cellular and organismal levels. Using patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cell-mesenchymal stem cells (iPSC-MSCs), we demonstrated that enhancing NAD+ biosynthesis through NMN supplementation effectively restored mitochondrial function, reduced DNA damage and inflammatory markers, and mitigated oxidative stress. Furthermore, in G608G transgenic mouse models receiving NMN administration over four months, we observed significant improvements in fertility and gonadal function, enhanced cardiovascular parameters, ameliorated skin pathology, and extended lifespan. These comprehensive findings establish NMN supplementation as a promising therapeutic strategy for HGPS and potentially other aging-related disorders.

Project description:Vaccination with Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) induces long-term innate immune memory, also called trained immunity, characterized by metabolic and epigenetic changes leading to enhanced responsiveness upon exposure to heterologous pathogens. BCG vaccination was also shown to reduce systemic inflammation. Thus, BCG counteracts two significant immunological changes associated with aging: impaired responsiveness and elevated systemic inflammation. However, if and how BCG impacts other aging-related processes in immune cells, such as telomere shortening, remains unexplored. In this study, we investigated the transcriptional impact of BCG training on telomere maintenance-related genes through RNA sequencing and determined average telomere length from whole blood via RT-qPCR before and three months after BCG vaccination in two independent human cohorts. Trained immunity response was measured by ex-vivo cytokine production induced by a heterologous stimulus three months after vaccination compared to baseline. In addition, we examined the effects of BCG on telomerase activation using an in vitro trained immunity model. In vitro BCG training upregulated processes related to telomere maintenance and telomerase localization. In vivo, we observed shorter telomeres three months after BCG vaccination in both studies. Interestingly, the induction of a trained immunity response by BCG was correlated to the change in telomere length: more telomere shortening was observed in trained immunity non-responder individuals, particularly in males. Higher testosterone concentrations before vaccination were linked to more telomere loss. In vitro, BCG training of human monocytes activated the telomerase enzyme, predominantly in females, an effect that was blocked by exogenous testosterone treatment. Overall, this study reports sex-specific long-term impacts of BCG vaccination on telomerase activity and telomere maintenance. These data add to the arguments that BCG vaccination impacts aging mechanisms, which warrants more investigation.

Project description:Telomere length (TL) is important for the maintaining the individual health of a species. However, recent studies have indicated that blastocyst culture may increase the risk of telomere shortening in the offspring of those undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment, however, the underlying molecular mechanism remains unknown. Sirt6 is a NAD+-dependent epigenetic regulator that has recently been found to play an important role in maintaining telomere stability. Here, we report for the first time that NAD+ levels are significantly lower in blastocysts cultured in vitro than that in blastocysts developed in vivo, leading to impaired Sirt6 function, further triggering telomere shortening of the inner cell mass and possibly affecting newborn offspring. This phenotype could be effectively mitigated by supplementation with nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), a precursor of NAD+, during in vitro culture, while it could not be achieved in Sirt6 conditional knockout embryos. Furthermore, mtROS accumulation and epigenetic modifications may also play an important role in this process. Our results reveal the mechanism by which in vitro culture induces telomere shortening in preimplantation embryos, providing a potential target for improving in vitro culture conditions.

Project description:Studies in rodents have shown obesity and aging impair tissue nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) biosynthesis, which contributes to metabolic dysfunction. The availability of nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) is an important rate-limiting factor in mammalian NAD+ biosynthesis. We conducted a 10-week, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trial to evaluate the effect of NMN supplementation on metabolic function in 25 postmenopausal women with prediabetes who were overweight/obese. Insulin-stimulated glucose disposal, assessed by using the hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic-clamp procedure, increased by 25±7% (P<0.01) in the NMN group, which was accompanied by an increase in insulin-stimulated phosphorylation of muscle AKT (P<0.01), whereas neither outcome changed after placebo treatment. Body composition (fat mass, fat-free mass, intra-abdominal fat, intrahepatic triglyceride content) and muscle mitochondrial respiratory capacity did not change after treatment with placebo or NMN. These results demonstrate NMN improves muscle insulin sensitivity in women with prediabetes who are overweight/obese, independent of changes in body composition or mitochondrial function.

Project description:Telomere length heterogeneity in various cell types including stem cells and cancer cells has been recognized. Cell heterogeneity also is found in pluripotent stem cells such as embryonic stem cells (ESCs). The implication and mechanisms underlying the heterogeneity remain to be defined. We have optimized a robust method that can simultaneously measure telomere length coupled with RNA-sequencing analysis (scT&R-seq) in the same human ES cell. Using this method, we show that telomere length varies with pluripotency state. Long telomere hESCs highly express TERF1/TRF1 as well as ZFP42/REX1, PRDM14 and NANOG for naïve pluripotency, in contrast to short telomere hESCs. hESCs express high telomerase activity as expected, and ubiquitously express NOP10 and DKC1, stabilizing components of telomerase complexes, regardless of telomere lengths. Moreover, new candidate genes such as MELK, MSH6 and UBQLN1 cluster with long telomeres and pluripotency network. Notably, short telomere hESCs exhibit higher oxidative phosphorylation primed for lineage differentiation, whereas long telomere hESCs show elevated glycolysis, another key feature for naïve pluripotency. Our data further suggest that telomere length is implicated in metabolism activity and pluripotency state of hESCs. Single cell analysis of telomere and RNA-sequencing can be exploited to further understand the molecular mechanisms of telomere heterogeneity.

Project description:We sorted H2O2–treated HCC Huh7-cells harboring telomeres in the top 20th percentile (long telomeres) and bottom 20th percentile of telomere length (short telomeres) according to fluorescence-activated cell sorting based on the fluorescence intensity associated with the telomere-binding protein, followed by whole-genome mRNA-expression microarray analysis. In detail, a stable Huh7 cell line expressing GFP-tagged telomere-binding protein adrenocortical dysplasia protein homolog (TPP1) was established using 1 mg/mL G418 as a selection antibiotic. The telomere lengths in living cells were measured by assessing the expression of TPP1 by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) under the assumption that the expression level of the telomere binding protein is proportional to telomere length. The cells were dissociated at 37°C in 0.2 % w/v trypsin-EDTA for 10 min. After gentle pipetting to induce dissociation, the cells were washed twice with cold PBS solution containing 0.6 % w/v ultra-pure bovine serum albumins (A0100-010) and filtered using a cell strainer (BD Bioscience). HCC cells displaying weak or strong GFP expression were isolated from the mock- or H2O2-treated cells using a FACS Aria II (BD Bioscience), respectively. A whole genome mRNA expression microarray (Macrogen, Seoul, Korea) was used to compare the gene expression patterns between HCC cells possessing short or long telomeres.

Project description:Progressive attrition of telomeres triggers DNA damage response (DDR) and limits the regenerative capacity of adult stem cells during mammalian aging. Intriguingly, the telomere integrity is not only determined by telomere length but also by epigenetic status of telomeric/sub-telomeric regions. However, the functional interplay between telomere shortening-induced DDR and epigenetic modification in aging is unknown. Here we show that deletion of Gadd45a improves the maintenance and function of intestinal stem cells (ISCs), and prolongs lifespan of late generation of telomerase deficient mice (G3Terc-/-). Mechanistically, Gadd45a facilitates the generation of a permissive chromatin status for DDR signaling transduction through the demethylating of CpG islands specifically at sub-telomeric regions of short telomeres. Deletion of Gadd45a restores the heterochromatin compaction in the sub-telomeric regions and thereby ameliorating the DDR initiation at short telomeres of G3Terc-/- ISCs. Treatment with a small molecule inhibitor of BER alleviates DDR and improves the maintenance and function of G3Terc-/- ISCs. Taken together, our study discloses a potential therapeutic approach to enhance stem cell function and prolong lifespan by targeting epigenetic modulating molecules.
