Muscle function in fit and (pre-)frail males and females

Project description:AbstractBackground: A decreased intramuscular carnitine status with aging may contribute to frailty and fatigue, but studies are often confounded by sex-heterogeneity and lack of control groups. We hypothesize that muscle carnitine deficiency is associated with (pre-)frailty, diminished physical performance and altered mitochondrial function, possibly in a sex-dependent manner. This was tested in well-matched age groups, allowing gender-specific analyses. Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed in well-matched fit (n = 15) and (pre-)frail (n = 13) old males as well as in fit (n = 15) and (pre-)frail (n = 11) old females, using young males (n = 13) and females (n = 13) as healthy controls. In the elderly, frailty was assessed according to the Fried criteria and physical performance was determined by 400-m walk test, short physical performance battery and handgrip strength. Acylcarnitine status was assessed in muscle biopsies and blood plasma using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Muscle mitochondrial gene expression was analyzed. Results: Intramuscular total carnitine levels and short chain acylcarnitine levels were lower in (pre-)frail old females compared to fit old females and young females, whereas no differences were observed in males. Intramuscular short chain acylcarnitine levels were associated with low physical performance in females, even after correction for muscle mass (%), whereas in males no such association was found. The decline in short chain acylcarnitine levels in (pre-)frail old females was associated with low expression of genes involved in mitochondrial energy production and mitochondrial functionality. Conclusions: In (pre-)frail old females, intramuscular total carnitine levels and short chain acylcarnitine levels are decreased and this decrease is accompanied by reduced physical performance and low expression of a wide range of genes involved in mitochondrial function.

Multidimensional single-cell analysis of human peripheral blood reveals characteristic features of the immune system landscape in aging and frailty

Project description:Frailty is an intermediate status of human ageing process, associated with decompensated homeostasis and death. The immune phenotype of frailty and its underlying cellular and molecular processes remain poorly understood. Here we profiled 114,467 immune cells from cord blood, young adults, healthy and frail elderly using single-cell RNA and TCR V(D)J sequencing. An age-dependent accumulation of cell heterogeneity and transcriptome variability in defined immune cell types was observed. With the specific expression of gene sets, characteristic transcription factors were identified in given immune cell types of certain age group. Trajectory analysis revealed cells from non-frail and frail elderly often fall into distinct trajectories, despite similar chronological age. Numerous TCR clonotypes were shared among T cell subtypes in aged and frail samples, indicating differential pluripotency and resilience capability of aged T cells. Finally, a frailty-specific monocyte subset was identified with exclusively high expression of lncRNAs NEAT1 and MALAT1. Our results discover human frailty-specific immune cell characteristics based on the comprehensive dimensions in immune landscape of ageing and frailty.

Effect of Geriatric Intervention in Frail Elderly Patients Receiving Chemotherapy for Colorectal Cancer

Project description:GERICO is a randomized, controlled prospective trial. The aim is to investigate if frail, elderly patients with stage II-IV colorectal cancer, will profit from full comprehensive geriatric assessment and intervention before and during treatment with chemotherapy. The hypotheses are: Optimizing the health conditions and functional status of frail elderly patients who suffers from stage II-IV colorectal cancer, with geriatric intervention will lead to a higher grade of completing the planned chemotherapy and at higher dose intensity. This will also result in a higher overall survival and improve quality of life.

No effect of calcifediol supplementation on skeletal muscle transcriptome in vitamin D deficient frail older adults.

Project description:Vitamin D deficiency is common among older adults and has been linked to muscle weakness. Vitamin D supplementation has been proposed as a strategy to improve muscle function in older adults. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of calcifediol (25-hydroxycholecalciferol) on whole genome gene expression in skeletal muscle of vitamin D deficient frail older adults. A double-blind placebo controlled trial was conducted in vitamin D deficient frail older adults (aged above 65), characterized by blood 25-hydroxycholecalciferol concentrations between 20 and 50 nmol/L. Subjects were randomized across the placebo group (n=12) and the calcifediol group (n=10, 10 µg per day). Muscle biopsies were obtained before and after six months of calcifediol or placebo supplementation and subjected to whole genome gene expression profiling using Affymetrix HuGene 2.1ST arrays. Expression of the vitamin D receptor gene was virtually undetectable in human skeletal muscle biopsies. Calcifediol supplementation led to a significant increase in blood 25-hydroxycholecalciferol levels compared to the placebo group. No difference between treatment groups was observed on strength outcomes. The whole transcriptome effects of calcifediol and placebo were very weak. Correcting for multiple testing using false discovery rate did not yield any differentially expressed genes using any sensible cut-offs. P-values were uniformly distributed across all genes, suggesting that low p-values are likely to be false positives. Partial least squares-discriminant analysis and principle component analysis was unable to separate treatment groups. Calcifediol supplementation did not affect the skeletal muscle transcriptome in frail older adults. Our findings indicate that vitamin D supplementation has no effects on skeletal muscle gene expression, suggesting that skeletal muscle may not be a direct target of vitamin D in older adults.
