Analysis of CD8 T cells in aged mice

ABSTRACT: Aging is associated with systemic chronic inflammation (inflammaging) that leads to impaired physiological functions and vulnerability to several diseases. However, underlying alterations in aged immune system resulting in gradual loss of immune fitness remain unclear. Using a combination of bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing, we characterized the age-associated alterations in CD8 T cells. We defined organ-specific and common changes in immune cell populations and identified a distinct subpopulation of granzyme K (GZMK)-expressing clonal CD8+ T cells that accumulate with age in multiple tissues. These cells have a distinct epigenetic signature, express markers of exhaustion but, paradoxically, show an increased capacity to produce mediators of inflammation that increase secretion of inflammatory cytokines from non-immune cells. Our findings suggest that accumulation of GZMK+ CD8+ T cells is a conserved hallmark of inflammaging.

scRNA-seq analysis of aged immune system in mice

Project description:Aging is associated with systemic chronic inflammation (inflammaging) that leads to impaired physiological functions and vulnerability to several diseases. However, underlying alterations in aged immune system resulting in gradual loss of immune fitness4 remain unclear. Using a combination of single-cell RNA/TCR/BCR-sequencing and extensive FACS/CyTOF-based validation, we comprehensively characterize age-associated alterations in immune cells in 4 mouse organs and human blood. We identified both organ-specific and common changes in immune cell populations and their transcriptional programs and found age-associated subpopulation of CD8+ T cells marked with expression of GZMK.

scRNA-seq analysis of mouse splenic CD8 T cells 1 month post transfer of CD8 T cells from 3 months old donor into 24 months old recipient

Project description:Aging is associated with systemic chronic inflammation (inflammaging) that leads to impaired physiological functions and vulnerability to several diseases. However, underlying alterations in aged immune system resulting in gradual loss of immune fitness remain unclear. Using a combination of CD8 T cell transfer from young to old and from old to young mice and single-cell RNA sequencing, we characterized the age-associated alterations in CD8 T cells. We transferred 2 millions of purified CD8+ T cells pooled from 3 CD45.1 C57BL/6J 3 months old female mice (donor) by i.v. injection into CD45.2 C57BL/6J 24 months old female mouse (recipient) and sorted CD45.1+CD3e+CD8a+ and CD45.2+CD3e+CD8a+ T cells from the spleen 1 month post transfer to perform scRNA/TCR-seq.

Project description:Immune system aging contributes significantly to declining health with age. It is unknown to what extent human and mice immune systems go through similar age-related changes and whether there are conserved biomarkers of aging. We characterized age-related changes in the immune system of long (C57BL/6J) and short-lived (NZO/HILtJ) strains and compared them with blood-driven human aging signatures. Peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL), spleen cells and spleen-driven naive and memory CD8+ T cells were profiled using flow cytometry, RNA-seq and ATAC-seq from young (3 months) and old (18 months) mice. Pro-inflammatory myeloid genes were activated with age across strains and tissues, echoing human 'inflammaging' signatures. ATAC-seq footprinting analyses uncovered increased binding of pro-inflammatory transcription factors with age (e.g., AP1 complex, NFKB signaling pathway). Machine learning models identified inflammation, cytotoxic, and naive T cell derived genes to be strong signatures of immunosenescence. These data are publicly shared as a resource for immune aging (https://immune-aging.jax.org/mice).

TXNRD1 drives innate immune response in senescent cells and promotes age-associated inflammation

Project description:Sterile inflammation, also known as inflammaging, is a hallmark of tissue ageing. Cellular senescence contributes to tissue aging in part through secretion of proinflammatory factors known as senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Thioredoxin reductase 1 (TXNRD1) genetic variability is associated with aging and age-associated phenotypes such as late-life survival, activity of daily living, and physical performance at old age. TXNRD1 role in regulating tissue ageing has been attributed to its enzymatic role in regulating cellular redox. Here we show that TXNRD1 drives SASP and inflammaging through the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of interferon genes (STING) innate immune response pathway independently of its enzymatic activity. TXNRD1 localizes to cytoplasmic chromatin fragment and interacts with cGAS in a senescence status dependent manner. TXNRD1 enhances the enzymatic activity of cGAS. TXNRD1 and its interaction with cGAS is necessary for the SASP. TXNRD1 is required for both the tumor-promoting and immune-surveillance functions of senescent cells, which are mediated by SASP in vivo in mouse models. Treatment of aged mice with an TXNRD1 inhibitor that disrupts its interaction with cGAS, but not an inhibitor of its enzymatic activity, downregulated inflammaging in several tissues. In summary, our results report TXNRD1 promotes inflammaging via the innate immune response. They indicate that TXNRD1 and cGAS interaction is a relevant target for selectively suppressing inflammaging.

Stat1 activation, through systemic interferon signaling, and upregulation of innate immune system receptors drives inflammaging, that is ameliorated by dietary restriction intervention [RNA-seq]

Project description:Aging is the result of an accumulation of molecular damages, driven by multiple factors like metabolic and oxidative stress, (epi)genetic alterations, and microbiome dysbiosis. In addition, aging is characterized by a chronic, low-grade inflammation known as inflammaging that represents a high significant risk factor for most, if not all, age-related diseases. Dietary restriction (DR) is the best-known non-invasive method to ameliorate the aging phenotype in many organisms. While it has been shown that DR reduces the inflammation in some tissues, the molecular mechanisms in old individuals are still largely unknown. Here we identify a multi-tissue gene network which regulates the inflammaging and that is ameliorated by DR. Using transcriptional profiling (RNA-seq), we found that aging upregulates the innate immune system receptor together with the activation of a systemic interferon (IFN) signaling through the Interferon Regulatory Factors (Irf), inflammatory cytokines and finally Stat1 transcription factor. Our results suggest that DR is able to ameliorate inflammaging by downregulating the expression and the activity of almost all the components of this gene network. In addition, chromatin accessibility genome-wide analysis showed that the binding site of Irf and Stat1 in the promoter of their target genes are more open in aging and become closer upon DR treatment indicating a transcriptional control of the inflammaging phenotype involving epigenetic modifications. Our results provide a comprehensive understanding of the molecular network regulating the inflammation in aging and DR and present novel anti-inflammaging therapeutic targets.

single-cell RNA-Seq of colorectal cancer patient samples

Project description:We describe in a prospective cohort a novel CD8+ T effector memory population, which is characterized by high levels of Granzyme K (GZMK high CD8+ TEM) and correlated with CD15 high tumor infiltrating neutrophils. In this context, we performed single-cell RNA-Seq analysis on matched tumor and non-tumor adjacent unsorted tissues to define a gene signature of GZMK high CD8+ TEM. This was associated with worse prognosis on a larger independent cohort of CRC patients and of lung cancer (TCGA).

Organ-specific inflammaging in mice

Project description:Aging is accompanied by chronic, low-grade systemic inflammation, termed inflammaging, a main driver of age-associated diseases. Such sterile inflammation is typically characterized by elevated levels of pro-inflammatory mediators, such as cytokines and reactive oxygen species causing organ damage. Lipid mediators play important roles in the fine-tuning of both the promotion and the resolution of inflammation. Yet, it remains unclear how lipid mediators fit within the concept of inflammaging and how their biosynthesis and function is affected by aging. Here, we provide comprehensive signature profiles of inflammatory markers in organs afflicted with inflammation of young and old C57BL/6 mice. We reveal an organ-specific footprint of inflammation-related cytokines, chemokines and lipid mediators, which are distinctively affected by aging. While some organs are characterized by a pronounced pro-inflammatory microenvironment and impaired resolution during aging, others display elevated levels of pro-resolving mediators or an overall decrease in inflammatory signaling. Our results demonstrate that it proves difficult to establish a unifying concept for alterations of immunomodulatory mediators as consequence of aging and that organ specificity needs to be considered. Moreover, our data imply that inclusion of lipid mediators into the concept of inflammaging provides a comprehensive tool to characterize the inflammatory microenvironment during aging on a broader and yet, more detailed scope.
