Project description:Following CNS demyelination, adult oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) can differentiate into new myelin-forming oligodendrocytes in a regenerative process called remyelination. While remyelination is very efficient in young adults, its efficiency declines progressively with ageing. Here we performed proteomic analysis on OPCs isolated acutely from the brains of neonate, young and aged female rats. Approximately 60% of the proteins are expressed at different levels in OPCs from neonates compared to their adult counterparts. The amount of myelin-associated and cell adhesion proteins are increased with age, while cholesterol-biosynthesis, transcription factors and cell cycle proteins decreased. Our experiments provide the first ageing OPC rodent proteome, revealing the distinct features of neonatal and adult OPCs, and providing new insights into why remyelination efficiency declines with ageing and potential roles for aged OPCs in other neurodegenerative diseases.

Project description:Successful pregnancies require fine coordination among the reproductive organs. Reproductive research has focused on ovarian ageing, the uterus and oviduct have received much less attention; whether these organs age synchronously with the ovaries remains unclear. Here, we established a single-cell transcriptomic atlas of the ovary, oviduct, and uterus across the murine reproductive lifespan. Organ–organ communication patterns were identified using cell-specific hormone receptor analysis. The ageing hallmarks (including DNA damage, cellular senescence, and apoptosis, etc.) were evaluated for each cell type. Analysis of these ageing-related gene set scores combined with changes in morphology and molecular signatures revealed that the ovary aged earlier and faster than the oviduct and uterus; this was also confirmed in human reproductive tissues. Our single-cell transcriptomic atlas provides molecular insights into reproductive ageing and its asynchronization for the reproductive organs across the murine reproductive lifespan, which may reveal the causes of declining fertility at advanced ages.

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of human control and Néstor-Guillermo Progeria Syndrome (NGPS) fibroblasts and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Somatic cell reprogramming involves rejuvenation of adult cells and relies on the ability to erase age-associated molecular marks. Accordingly, reprogramming efficiency declines with ageing, and age-associated features such as genetic instability, cell senescence or telomere shortening negatively affect this process. However, the regulatory mechanisms that constitute age-associated barriers for cell reprogramming remain largely unknown. Here, by using cells from patients with premature ageing, we demonstrate that NF-κB activation is a critical barrier for the generation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) in ageing. We show that NF-κB repression occurs during cell reprogramming towards a pluripotent state. Conversely, ageing-associated NF-κB hyperactivation impairs generation of iPSCs by eliciting reprogramming repressors DOT1L and YY1, reinforcing cell senescence signals and down-regulating pluripotency genes. We also show that genetic and pharmacological NF-κB inhibitory strategies significantly increase the reprogramming efficiency of fibroblasts from Néstor-Guillermo Progeria Syndrome (NGPS) and Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) patients, as well as from normal aged donors. Finally, we demonstrate that DOT1L inhibition in vivo ameliorates the accelerated ageing phenotype and extends lifespan in a progeroid animal model. Collectively, our results provide evidence for a novel role of NF-κB in the control of cell fate transitions and reinforce the interest of studying age-associated molecular impairments to implement cell reprogramming methodologies, and to identify new targets of rejuvenation strategies. Control and NGPS fibroblasts were reprogrammed. RNA was extracted and transcriptional profiling was obtained with GeneChip Human Exon 1.0 ST Arrays.

Project description:Ovarian aging leads to diminished fertility, dysregulated endocrine signaling, and increased chronic disease burden. These effects begin to emerge long before follicular exhaustion. Around 35 years old, women experience a sharp decline in fertility, corresponding to declines in oocyte quality. However, the field lacks a cellular map of the transcriptomic changes in the aging ovary to identify drivers of ovarian decline. To fill this gap, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing on ovarian tissue from young (3-month-old) and reproductively aged (9-month-old) mice. Our analysis revealed a doubling of immune cells in the aged ovary, with T and B lymphocyte proportions increasing most. We also discovered an age-related upregulation of alternative macrophage and downregulation of collagenase pathways in stromal fibroblasts. Overall, follicular cells (especially granulosa and theca) display stress response, immunogenic, and fibrotic signaling pathway inductions with aging. These changes are more exaggerated in the atretic granulosa cells but are also observed in healthy antral and preantral granulosa cells. Moreover, we did not observe age-related changes in markers of cellular senescence in any cellular population with advancing age, despite specific immune cells expressing senescence-related genes across both timepoints. This report raises several new hypotheses that could be pursued to elucidate mechanisms responsible for ovarian aging phenotypes.

Project description:The diversity of cell types and regulatory states in the brain, and how these change during ageing, remains largely unknown. We present a single-cell transcriptome atlas of the entire adult Drosophila melanogaster brain sampled across its lifespan. Cell clustering identified 87 initial cell clusters that are further subclustered and validated by targeted cell-sorting. Our data shows high granularity and identifies a wide range of cell types. Gene network analyses using SCENIC revealed regulatory heterogeneity linked to energy consumption. During ageing, RNA content declines exponentially without affecting neuronal identity in old brains. This single-cell brain atlas covers nearly all cells in the normal brain and provides the tools to study cellular diversity alongside other Drosophila and mammalian single-cell datasets in our unique single-cell analysis platform. These results allow comprehensive exploration of all transcriptional states of an entire ageing brain.
