Adropin expression correlates with aging-related neuropathology in the human brain and improves neuroinflammation and cognitive function in aging mice


ABSTRACT: The putative secreted domain of adropin (residues 34-76) is sufficient for biological activity when administered by ip. injection to mice, inducing changes in mitochondrial fuel selection of skeletal muscle. To investigate whether adropin administered also regulates the brain transcriptome, RNA seq was used in 18-month-old male B6 mice treated with synthetic peptide at a dose previously shown to be effective. Mice were split into two weight matched groups, acclimated to handling and then treated with peptide (90 nmol/kg/d) suspended in 0.9% saline plus 0.1% BSA over 4 weeks. Controls were treated with diluent; injections were given daily at 0900h. Applying a cut-off using a fold-change (FC) >1.5 and a p-value of <0.05 identified a small number of responsive genes (84 upregulated, 172 downregulated). Gene enrichment analysis indicated that peptide treatment primarily changed the expression of genes involved in tissue morphogenesis (e.g. “pattern specification process”, “embryo development”, “animal morphogenesis”). Possibly related to increases in cellular proliferation and differentiation, there was also evidence for increases in large molecule synthesis. For example, RNA metabolism (“positive regulation of RNA biosynthetic process”; “positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II”) and ‘macromolecule synthesis” were affected by treatment.
