Bulk RNA-seq of mice covering the whole lifespan (2 days to 904 days) from four tissues

ABSTRACT: Gene expression changes during ageing were shown to oppose developmental trajectories; a reversal pattern previously linked to cellular identity loss. Generating cortex, lung, liver and muscle tissue transcriptomes of 16 mice of different ages, covering development and ageing periods, we found that expression reversals were widespread but tissue-specific. Consistent with this result, we observed an inter-tissue divergence during development and convergence during ageing (DiCo), further confirmed in independent mouse and human datasets. The genes displaying DiCo pattern were enriched among tissue-specific genes that tended to lose developmental expression levels during ageing. Finally, analysing publicly available single-cell transcriptome data, we studied the contribution of cellular composition and cell-autonomous changes to the convergence in ageing. Our results, for the first time, suggest inter-tissue convergence during ageing is widespread and associated with the loss of specialisation at the tissue and possibly also at the cellular level.

Structure-function Relationships in Human Tendons: Interfascicular Matrix Specialisation in the Achilles Tendon C4PR_LIV

Project description:Tendon is a highly aligned connective tissue, in which the macro-structure consists of collagen-rich fascicles surrounded by interfascicular matrix (IFM). In a series of recent studies in equine tissue, we have demonstrated specialisation of tendon composition, structure and mechanics to achieve the tendon’s functional requirements, specifically reporting extensive specialisation of the IFM region in the energy storing superficial digital flexor tendon. We have also demonstrated loss of functional specialisms with ageing, leading to a hypothesised new paradigm for tendinopathy, focused on the importance of the IFM. However, to date, there have been no studies focused on structure-function specialisation or the IFM in functionally distinct human tendons. Here, we compare the positional anterior tibialis tendon and energy storing Achilles tendon, performing a detailed analysis of the composition and mechanical properties of both fascicle and IFM regions, to test the hypothesis that the IFM in the energy storing Achilles tendon has specialised composition and mechanical properties, and that these specialisations are lost with ageing. We demonstrate that the IFM is specialised in the energy storing Achilles tendon, with greater elasticity and fatigue resistance than in the positional anterior tibialis tendon. While there were few age-related alterations in mechanics, we did identify age-related alterations in the IFM proteome of the Achilles tendon specifically, which is predicted to be regulated by TGF-beta signalling and may be responsible for the trend towards decreased fatigue resistance observed in the Achilles IFM with ageing.

Transcriptomic profiling of chondrocytes and tenocytes in de- and re-differentiation relative to native tissue

Project description:De- and re-differentiation represent phenotypic transitions that may contribute to loss of function in ageing musculoskeletal tissues. Applying a systems biology network analysis approach to global gene expression profiles derived from common in vitro culture systems (monolayer and three-dimensional cultures) this study demonstrates common regulatory mechanisms governing de- and re-differentiation transitions in cartilage and tendon cells. Furthermore, evidence of convergence of gene expression profiles during monolayer expansion, and the expression of key developmental markers, challenges the physiological relevance of this culture system.

Expression data of young and aged mice derived CD8+ T cells stimulated in TCR or TRM condition for 3 days

Project description:Ageing can compromise antitumor immunity, but the underlying mechanism by which ageing causes CD8+ T cell dysfunction and thus limits their antitumor activity remains poorly understood. We found that ageing greatly impaired the generation of CD8+ tissue-resident memory T (TRM) cell subset in non-lymphoid tissues (NLTs). And here we presented that in vitro differentiation of TRM cells was inhibited in the aged CD8+ T cell group compared to the young CD8+ T cell group.

Comprehensive analysis of cellular senescence in the central nervous system revealed microglial senescence and its involvement in demyelinating diseases

Project description:Cellular senescence is a state of irreversible cell-cycle arrest caused by various cellular stressors. Accumulating evidence indicates that cellular senescence is one of the key factors causing age-related tissue dysfunction in various organs. However, the features of cells that undergo cellular senescence and their significance in neural impairment are still unclear in the central nervous system. We showed that microglia, particularly in the white matter, undergo cellular senescence in the brain and spinal cord during ageing and in disease models involving demyelination through comprehensive investigations utilizing single-cell transcriptome analysis and various mouse models. Microglial senescence is predominantly detected in disease-associated microglia (DAM), which emerge with ageing and in neurodegenerative diseases. Knockouts of the p16INK4a gene, a key inducer of cellular senescence, ameliorated the neuroinflammatory phenotype in damaged spinal cords in mice. Finally, we showed that commensal bacteria promote the accumulation of senescent microglia and DAM associated with ageing. These results advanced our understanding of cellular senescence’s role in the central nervous system and opened new strategies for treating age-related neural disorders.

Secreted proteins extracted (3M NaCl) from EP/LP MSCs grown on soft/stiff substrates for 8 days

Project description:Tissues are maintained by homeostatic feedback mechanisms in which cells can respond to, but also modify, the chemical and mechanical properties of the surrounding extracellular matrix (ECM). Mechano-sensitive mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) resident in the marrow niche experience a diverse mechanical environment, but ageing can affect the composition and quality of bone and marrow tissues. Here we quantified the compounded effects of substrate stiffness and replication-induced senescence on MSC morphology and their ability to modify their environments through secretion of ECM proteins. The ECM proteome was found to be sensitive to substrate stiffness, but pharmacological inhibition of cellular contractility perturbed this response, decreasing levels of tenascin-C, fibulins and fibronectin. A corresponding change in the ECM of senescent cells, concomitant with a loss of mechano-responsive morphological features, suggested a decoupling of mechanotransduction pathways. Intracellular proteomic and transcriptomic analyses confirmed a decrease in all components of the cytoskeletal protein homeostasis machinery in senescent MSCs. These results demonstrate a senescence-mediated perturbation to cytoskeletal homeostasis, pathways of mechanotransduction and the secretion of ECM proteins considered necessary for tissue maintenance.

Analyzing the impact of extrachromosomal rDNA circles (ERCs) on the ageing yeast transcriptome

Project description:Here we analyzed the widespread disruption of gene expression that accompanies yeast ageing, and surprisingly observed that this is completely independent of ERCs. Furthermore, we could not find subsets of genes that are differentially regulated in the presence of ERCs. High throughput imaging showed that the accumulation of Tom70-GFP which accompanies the onset of cell division defects at the Senescence Entry Point (SEP) also correlated poorly to ERC abundance, but allowed determination of a gene expression signature for the SEP. This signature included overexpression of mRNA from the chromosome XII region between the rDNA and the telomere (ChrXIIr), which has been previously noted to amplify during ageing.
