Synchrony and asynchrony between an epigenetic clock and developmental timing [RNA-Seq]

ABSTRACT: Epigenetic changes have been used to estimate chronological age across the lifespan, and some studies suggest that epigenetic "aging" clocks may already operate in developing tissue. To better understand the relationship between developmental stage and epigenetic age, we utilized the highly regular sequence of development found in the mammalian neural retina and a well-established epigenetic aging clock based on DNA methylation. Our results demonstrate that the epigenetic age of fetal retina is highly correlated with chronological age. We further establish that epigenetic aging progresses normally in vitro, suggesting that epigenetic aging is a property of individual tissues. This correlation is also retained in stem cell-derived retinal organoids, but is accelerated in individuals with Down's syndrome, a progeroid-like condition. Overall, our results suggest that epigenetic aging begins as early as a few weeks post-conception, in fetal tissues, and the mechanisms underlying the phenomenon of epigenetic aging might be studied in developing organs.

Synchrony and asynchrony between an epigenetic clock and developmental timing [EPIC array]

Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of human fetal retina samples. The Illumina Infinium DNA methylation Beadchip was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles in human fetal retina samples that were cultured in different ways. To better undrestand the relationship between developmental stage and epigenetic age (measured by the Horvath clock based on 353 CpGs as detailed in pubmed identifier: 24138928), we analyzed the highly regular sequence of developmental stage in the human neural retina. Findings: epigenetic age of fetal retina is highly correlated with chronological age. We find that epigenetic aging progresses normally in vitro. The correlation is retained in stem cell derived organoids but is accelerated in individuals with Down syndrome.

Development of an Epigenetic Clock Resistant to Changes in Immune Composition

Project description:Epigenetic clocks are age predictors that use machine-learning models trained on DNA CpG methylation values to predict chronological or biological age. Increases in predicted epigenetic age relative to chronological age (epigenetic age acceleration) are connected to aging-associated pathologies, and changes in epigenetic age are linked to canonical aging hallmarks. However, epigenetic clocks rely on training data from bulk tissues whose cellular composition changes with age. We found that human naive CD8+ T cells, which decrease during aging, exhibit an epigenetic age 15–20 years younger than effector memory CD8+ T cells from the same individual. Importantly, homogenous naive T cells isolated from individuals of different ages show a progressive increase in epigenetic age, indicating that current epigenetic clocks measure two independent variables, aging and immune cell composition. To isolate the age-associated cell intrinsic changes, we created a new clock, the IntrinClock, that did not change among 10 immune cell types tested. IntrinClock showed a robust predicted epigenetic age increase in a model of replicative senescence in vitro and age reversal during OSKM-mediated reprogramming

Conserved epigenetic hallmarks of T-cell aging during immunity and malignancy

Project description:Chronological aging correlates with epigenetic modifications at specific loci, calibrated to species lifespan. Such ‘epigenetic clocks’ appear conserved among mammals, but whether they are cell-autonomous and restricted by maximal organismal lifespan remains unknown. We used a multi-lifetime murine model of repeat vaccination and memory T cell transplantation to test whether epigenetic aging tracks with cellular replication, and if such clocks continue ‘counting’ beyond species lifespan. We found that memory T cell epigenetic clocks tick independently of host age and continue through four lifetimes. Instead of recording chronological time, T cells recorded proliferative experience through modification of cell cycle regulatory genes. Applying this epigenetic profile across a range of human T cell contexts, we found that naïve T cells appeared ‘young’ regardless of organism age, while in pediatric patients, T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) appeared to have epigenetically aged for up to 200 years. Thus, T cell epigenetic clocks measure replicative history and can continue to accumulate well-beyond organismal lifespan.

LINE-1 RNA is causative of heterochromatin erosion and target for amelioration of senescent phenotypes in progeroid syndromes

Project description:Constitutive heterochromatin is responsible for genome repression of DNA enriched in repetitive sequences, telomeres, and centromeres. In higher eukaryotes, constitutive heterochromatin is mostly segregated at the nuclear periphery, where the interaction with the nuclear lamina makes the genome more resistant to transcription. During physiological and pathological premature aging, heterochromatin homeostasis is profoundly compromised. Here we show that LINE-1 (L1) RNA accumulation is an early event in both typical and atypical progeroid syndromes. Depletion of L1 RNA in cells from different progeroid syndrome patients using specific antisense oligonucleotides (ASO) restores the levels of heterochromatin epigenetic marks, reverses DNA methylation age and counteracts the expression of senescence-associated genes. Moreover, proteome profiling involved in senescence phenotype was partially restored upon depletion of LINE-1 RNA in both Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) and Werner syndrome (WRN-/-).

Reduced DNA methylation patterning and transcriptional connectivity define human skin aging

Project description:Epigenetic changes represent an attractive mechanism for understanding the phenotypic changes associated with human aging. Age-related changes in DNA methylation at the genome scale have been termed epigenetic drift, but the defining features of this phenomenon remain to be established. Human epidermis represents an excellent model for understanding age-related epigenetic changes because of its substantial cell-type homogeneity and its well-known age-related phenotype. We have now generated and analyzed the currently largest set of human epidermis methylomes (N=108) using array-based profiling of 450,000 methylation marks in various age groups. Data analysis confirmed that age-related methylation differences are locally restricted and characterized by relatively small effect sizes. Nevertheless, methylation data could be used to predict the chronological age of sample donors with high accuracy. We also identified discontinuous methylation changes as a novel feature of the aging methylome. Finally, our analysis uncovers an age-related erosion of DNA methylation patterns that is characterized by a reduced dynamic range and increased heterogeneity of global methylation patterns. These changes in methylation variability were accompanied by a reduced connectivity of transcriptional networks. Our findings thus define the loss of epigenetic regulatory fidelity as a key feature of the aging epigenome. This data set contains data from transcription profiling by array of human epidermis samples. The results of methylation profiling are provided in the ArrayExpress experiment E-MTAB-4385.

New Targeted Approaches for Epigenetic Age Predictions

Project description:In this study, we have optimized and directly compared epigenetic age predictors based on pyrosequencing, ddPCR and BBA-seq of specific age-associated regions. Bisulfite barcoded amplicon sequencing (BBA-seq) was performed on 9 genomic region of 77 human blood DNA and 11 genomic regions of 95 buccal swab DNA to measure age-associated regions for epigenetic age prediction. Furthermore, our data indicate that the correlation of age-associated DNAm with chronological age peaks close to CTCF binding sites. Age-associated DNAm is not coherently modified on individual DNA strands and this enabled alternative single-read age-predictors that reflect heterogeneity in epigenetic aging within a specimen.

Aging time course

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. Groups of assays that are related as part of a time series. Age: Age of organism Computed
