Project description:With aging, skeletal muscle plasticity is attenuated in response to exercise. Here, we report that senescent cells, identified using senescence markers senescence-associated β-Galactosidase (SA β-Gal) and p21 are very infrequent in resting muscle but emerge approximately two-weeks after a bout of resistance exercise in humans. We hypothesized that these cells contribute to blunted hypertrophic potential in old age. Using synergist ablation-induced mechanical overload of the plantaris muscle to model resistance training in adult (5-6 month) and old (23-24 month) male C57BL/6J mice, we found increased senescent cells in both age groups during hypertrophy. Consistent with the human data, there were negligible senescent cells in adult and old sham controls, but old mice had significantly more senescent cells 7- and 14-days following overload relative to young. Old mice had blunted whole muscle hypertrophy when compared to adult mice, along with smaller muscle fibers, specifically glycolytic Type 2x+2b fibers. To ablate senescent cells using a hit-and-run approach, old mice were treated with vehicle or a senolytic cocktail consisting of 5 mg/kg dasatinib and 50 mg/kg quercetin (D+Q) on day 7 and 10 during 14-days of overload; control mice underwent sham surgery with or without senolytic treatment. Old mice given D+Q had larger muscles and muscle fibers after 14 days of overload, fewer senescent cells when compared to vehicle-treated old mice, and changes in the expression of genes (i.e., Igf1, Ddit4, Mmp14) that are associated with hypertrophic growth . Our data collectively show that senescent cells emerge in human and mouse skeletal muscle following a hypertrophic stimulus, and that D+Q improves muscle growth in old mice.

Project description:We test the idea that peripheral cellular senescence is a major driver of age-related cognitive impairment, such that treatment with the brain impermeable senolytic, ABT-263, can preserve cognition and markers of brain aging thought to underlie cognitive decline. Male F344 rats were treated from 12-18 months of age with quercetin + dasatinib or ABT-263 or vehicle and were compared to young (6 month). Senolytic treatments had similar effects in decreasing peripheral markers of senescence and the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), including plasma levels of several cytokines, rescued memory and hippocampal synaptic transmission, and decreased expression of immune response genes in the dentate gyrus (DG). Across senolytic treatment groups, differential DG gene expression was observed for cellular senescence and pathways linked to senescence, including negative regulation of cell death, ribosomes, and microglial activation consistent with differential access of dasatinib and ABT-263 to the brain. Finally, both senolytic treatments preserved the blood-brain barrier suggesting that leakage of clinically significant amounts of ABT-263 into the brain is unlikely. The results indicate that preserved cognition was due to removal of peripheral senescent cells, decreasing systemic inflammation that normally drives neuroinflammation, BBB breakdown, and impaired synaptic function.

Project description:Pofut1 is an essential gene that glycosylates proteins containing EGF-like repeats, including Notch Receptors (NotchRs). Work in mice and in Drosophila has shown that O-fucosylation by Pofut1 is required for NotchR ligands to bind to and activate NotchRs. As such, Pofut1 deletion in skeletal myofibers allows for an analysis of potential functions and molecular changes of Pofut1 in skeletal muscle that derive from its expression in skeletal myofibers. In this study we compared gene expression profiles between quadriceps muscles in young (2 month) and old (17 month) mice where Protein O-fucosyltransferase 1 (Pofut1) was deleted specifically in skeletal myofibers via use of a human skeletal alpha actin Cre transgene (Scre) and a loxP flanked Pofut1 gene (SCreFF) and mice which bore the only the Scre transgene but did not have floxed Pofut1 alleles (SCre++).

Project description:With advancing age, senescent cells accumulate as they are not efficiently cleared by the immune system anymore. Via a senescence-associated secretory phenotype, chronic senescent cells alter the microenvironment, creating an unfavorable milieu for neurogenesis and neurorepair. Using an innovative and rapid aging model, the African turquoise killifish, we have previously demonstrated a dramatic decline in neurogenic potential of non-glial progenitors with age. Even after traumatic brain injury, progenitor proliferation and neuron production was very low in aged killifish in comparison to young adult killifish, and overall neurorepair was incomplete. In the present study, we validated if the senolytic cocktail dasatinib and quercetin (D+Q) could reboot the neurogenic output by clearing chronic senescent cells from the aged killifish brain to re-create the necessary supportive environment. Our results confirm that the aged killifish telencephalon holds a very high senescent cell burden, which we could diminish by short-term systemic D+Q treatment. As a consequence of D+Q administration, proliferation of non-glial progenitors increased and more new neurons were generated and migrated into the parenchyma after injury. Injury-induced inflammation and glial scarring, a phenomenon only seen in aged killifish, remained unaltered. Senolytic treatment with D+Q might thus hold promise for improving brain function in aged populations, and is especially interesting for reviving the neurogenic potential of an already aged central nervous system.

Project description:We investigated age-related changes in the transcriptional profile of skeletal muscle in 5 month old (young) and 25 month old (old) C57BL/6NHsd mice using high density oligonucleotide arrays (22,690 transcripts probed). We identified 712 transcripts that are differentially expressed in young (5 month old) and old (25-month old) mouse skeletal muscle. Caloric restriction (CR) completely or partially reversed 87% of the changes in expression. Examination of individual genes revealed a transcriptional profile indicative of increased p53 activity in the older muscle. To determine whether the increase in p53 activity is associated with transcriptional activation of apoptotic targets, we performed RT-PCR on four well known mediators of p53-induced apoptosis: puma, noxa, tnfrsf10b and bok. Expression levels for these proapoptotic genes increased significantly with age (P<0.05), while CR significantly lowered expression levels for these genes as compared to control fed old mice (P<0.05). Age-related induction of p53-related genes was observed in multiple tissues, but was not observed in SOD2+/- and GPX4+/- mice, suggesting that oxidative stress does not mediate the observed age-related increase in expression. Western blot analysis confirmed that protein levels for both p21 and GADD45a, two established transcriptional targets of p53, were higher in the older muscle tissue. These observations support a role for p53-mediated apoptotic activity in mammalian aging. Keywords: aging, calorie restriction, muscle, p53
