Ageing affects DNA methylation and transcriptional cell-to-cell variability in muscle stem cells [scRNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Age-related tissue alterations have been associated with a decline in stem cell number and function. Increased cell-to-cell variability in transcription or epigenetic marks has been proposed to be a major hallmark of ageing. Here, using parallel single-cell transcriptome and DNA methylome profiling, we find a global increase of uncoordinated transcriptional heterogeneity and context-dependent alterations of DNA methylation heterogeneity in ageing mouse muscle stem cells. Importantly, promoters with increased methylation heterogeneity are associated with increased transcriptional heterogeneity of the genes they drive. Notably, old cells diverging from young cells revealed alterations in the transcription of multiple extracellular matrix related genes. These findings show linked increases in heterogeneity between the epigenome and the transcriptome, with attendant degradation of coherent transcriptional networks and stem cell functional decline during ageing.

Ageing affects DNA methylation and transcriptional cell-to-cell variability in muscle stem cells [scBS-seq]

Single-cell RNA sequencing of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells from young and aged mice

Project description:Ageing is associated with changes in the cellular composition of the immune system. During ageing, hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) that produce immune cells are thought to decline in their regenerative capacity. However, HSPC function has been mostly assessed using transplantation assays, and it remains unclear how HSPCs age in the native bone marrow niche. To address this issue, we present a novel in situ single cell lineage tracing technology to quantify the clonal composition and cell production of single cells in their native niche. Our results demonstrate that a pool of HSPCs with unequal output maintains myelopoiesis through overlapping waves of cell production throughout adult life. During ageing, the increased frequency of myeloid cells is explained by greater numbers of HSPCs contributing to myelopoiesis, rather than increased myeloid output of individual HSPCs. Strikingly, the myeloid output of HSPCs remained remains constant over time despite accumulating significant transcriptomic changes throughout adulthood. Together, these results show that, unlike emergency myelopoiesis post-transplantation, aged HSPCs in their native microenvironment do not functionally decline in their regenerative capacity. This repository contains single-cell RNA sequencing datasets of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells from young and aged mice associated with this study

Single Cell RNA-Sequencing using smart-seq2 of young and old murine hematopoietic stem cells

Project description:Ageing of the hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) compartment is characterized by skewing towards the myeloid lineage and reduced stem cell function, the molecular basis of which is largely unknown. Using single cell approaches we identify features contributing to HSC exhaustion with age. A distinct subpopulation of old HSCs carried a signature indicative of impaired stem cell function, activating p53 targets involved in senescence. In the same HSCs, we identified pro-proliferative JAK/STAT and MAPK signalling. We hypothesized that prolonged proliferation of HSCs leads to cell cycle arrest with age and therefore challenged HSCs with a constant proliferative stimulus mediated by a constitutively active form of Jak2, Jak2V617F. Indeed we observed expansion of the p53 positive population and functional impairment of the challenged HSCs. Our results reveal unexpected heterogeneity in the rate of HSC ageing and strongly implicate a role for proliferation in the p53 mediated functional decline of old HSCs.

A myogenin+/CD74+ adult muscle stem cell population during regeneration of skeletal muscle lacking miR-501

Project description:Adult muscle stem cells show a high transcriptional and clonal heterogeneity during ageing. Whether microRNAs contribute to this diversity is not known. Here we use tissue-specific genetic deletion of microRNA (miR)-501 that is highly enriched in activated myogenic progenitor cells to address this question. Single-cell sequencing revealed a novel subpopulation of committed myogenic progenitor cells in miR-501 knockout mice that express high levels of terminal differentiation markers and inflammatory genes such as CD74. Our data show that stem cell heterogeneity in skeletal muscle during ageing is under miRNA control.

Sex hormones control muscle stem cells

Project description:Quiescent adult muscle stem cells (MuSCs) regenerate skeletal muscle upon injury throughout life. However, aged skeletal muscles fail to maintain stem cell quiescence, leading to declines in MuSC number and functionality. Although autophagy plays an important role in the maintenance of MuSC quiescence, how quiescent MuSCs and their autophagy levels are maintained throughout life is largely unknown. The current study reveals how GnRH, a hypothalamic hormone, maintains the quiescence of adult MuSCs by preventing the onset of senescence and how the decline of sex steroids in organismal ageing is implicated in MuSC ageing.

Deconstructing replicative senescence heterogeneity of human mesenchymal stem cells at single cell resolution reveals therapeutically targetable senescent cell sub-populations

Project description:Cellular senescence is characterised by a state of permanent cell cycle arrest. While cellular senescence is a recognised driver of organismal ageing, the extent of heterogeneity within and between different senescent cell populations remains largely unclear. Here we combined cell biological and single cell RNA-sequencing approaches to investigate heterogeneity of replicative senescence in human ESC-derived mesenchymal stem cells (esMSCs) as MSCs are the cell type of choice for the majority of current stem cell herapies and senescence of MSC is a recognized driver of organismal ageing. We identified three senescing esMSC subpopulations and their associated maker genes, allowing us to identify potential drug targets that may delay the emergence of senescent MSCs in vitro and perhaps in vivo in the future.

Transcription profiling of hematopoietic stem cell aging

Project description:Loss of immune function and an increased incidence of myeloid leukemia are two of the most clinically significant consequences of aging of the hematopoietic system. To better understand the mechanisms underlying hematopoietic aging, we evaluated the cell intrinsic functional and molecular properties of highly purified long-term hematopoietic stem cells (LT-HSCs) from young and old mice. We found that LT-HSC aging was accompanied by cell autonomous changes, including increased stem cell self-renewal, differential capacity to generate committed myeloid and lymphoid progenitors, and diminished lymphoid potential. Expression profiling revealed that LT-HSC aging was accompanied by the systemic down-regulation of genes mediating lymphoid specification and function and up-regulation of genes involved in specifying myeloid fate and function. Moreover, LT-HSCs from old mice expressed elevated levels of many genes involved in leukemic transformation. These data support a model in which age-dependent alterations in gene expression at the stem cell level presage downstream developmental potential and thereby contribute to age-dependent immune decline, and perhaps also to the increased incidence of leukemia in the elderly.

Predicting age in single cells and low coverage DNA methylation data [scBS]

Project description:Ageing is the accumulation of changes and overall decline of the function of cells, organs and organisms over time. At the molecular and cellular level, the concept of biological age has been established and novel biomarkers of biological age have been identified, notably epigenetic DNA-methylation based clocks. With the emergence of single-cell DNA methylation profiling methods, the possibility to study biological age of individual cells has been proposed, and a first proof-of-concept study, based on limited single cell datasets mostly from early developmental origin, indicated the feasibility and relevance of this approach to better understand organismal changes and cellular ageing heterogeneity. Here, we generated a large single-cell DNA methylation and matched transcriptome dataset from mouse peripheral blood samples, spanning a broad range of ages (10-101 weeks of age), and developed a robust single-cell DNA methylation age prediction model (scEpiAge-blood and also scEpiAge-liver). We find that our new scEpiAge can accurately predict age in a broad range of publicly available datasets, including very sparse data and it also predicts age in single cells. Interestingly, the epigenetic age distribution is wider than technically expected in 19% of single cells, suggesting that epigenetic age heterogeneity is present in vivo and may relate to functional differences between cells. In addition, we observe differences in epigenetic ageing between the major blood cell types. Our work provides a foundation for better single-cell and sparse data epigenetic age predictors and highlights the significance of cellular heterogeneity during ageing.
