Project description:The liver is the central organ in the regulation of nutrient metabolism, xenobiotic metabolism, and detoxification. Aging leads to a marked change in liver structure and function, characterized by a decline in weight, blood flow, regeneration rate, and detoxification. However, the mechanisms that contribute to these changes are poorly described. Global gene expression profiles of aged versus young adult dogs have not been compared previously. Thus, we used canine microarrays to compare gene expression profiles of liver tissue from geriatric and young adult dogs fed 2 different diets. Liver tissue samples were collected from 6 geriatric (12 yr-old) and 6 young adult (1 yr-old) female beagles after being fed one of two diets (animal protein-based versus plant-protein based) for 12 months. RNA samples were hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChip Canine Genome Arrays. Statistical analyses indicated that age had the greatest impact on gene expression, with 234 gene transcripts differentially expressed in geriatric dogs. Although not as robust as age, diet affected mRNA abundance of 137 gene transcripts. The effect of age was most notable, with increased expression in genes related to inflammation, oxidative stress, and glycolysis and decreased expression in genes associated with regeneration, xenobiotic metabolism, and cholesterol trafficking in senior dogs. The effect of diet on gene expression was not consistent, but led to more changes in young adult dogs.

Project description:Mechanisms contributing to age-related cognitive decline are poorly defined. Thus, we used canine microarrays to compare gene expression profiles of brain tissue from geriatric and young adult dogs. Cerebral cortex samples were collected from 6 geriatric (12 yr-old) and 6 young adult (1 yr-old) female beagles after being fed one of two diets (animal protein-based versus plant-protein based) for 12 months. RNA samples were hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChip Canine Genome Arrays. Statistical analyses indicated that the age had the greatest impact on gene expression, with 963 transcripts differentially expressed in geriatric dogs. Although not as robust as age, diet affected mRNA abundance of 140 transcripts. As demonstrated in aged rodents and humans, geriatric dogs had increased expression of genes associated with inflammation, stress response, and calcium homeostasis and decreased expression of genes associated with neuropeptide signaling and synaptic transmission. In addition to its existing strengths, availability of gene sequence information and commercial microarrays make the canine a powerful model for studying the effects of aging on cognitive function.

Project description:Aging alters gastrointestinal morphology, microbiota, and functionality, and is associated with increased incidence of intestinal disease. The mechanisms that contribute to these changes are poorly described. Gene expression in dogs has been evaluated for a few select genes under pathogenic or varying dietary conditions, but global gene expression profiles of aged versus young adult dogs have not been compared previously. Thus, we used canine microarrays to compare gene expression profiles of colonic epithelial tissue from geriatric and young adult dogs fed 2 different diets. Colon tissue samples were collected from 6 geriatric (12 yr-old) and 6 young adult (1 yr-old) female beagles after being fed one of two diets (animal protein-based versus plant-protein based) for 12 months. RNA samples were hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChip Canine Genome Arrays. Statistical analyses indicated that age had the greatest impact on gene expression, with 212 genes differentially expressed in geriatric dogs. Although not as robust as age, diet affected mRNA abundance of 66 genes. The effect of age was most notable, with increased expression in genes related to inflammation, stress response, cellular metabolism and cell proliferation and decreased expression in genes associated with apoptosis and defense mechanism in senior dogs. The effect of diet on gene expression was not consistent, but appeared to have a greater response in senior dogs. Six geriatric (11.1 yr old) and 6 weanling (8 wk old) female beagles were used. Three dogs of each age were assigned to one of two dietary treatments and fed for 12 months. Diets tested in this experiment were previously shown to manipulate energy metabolism. One diet was an animal-protein based diet (APB) and was composed primarily of highly digestible ingredients and animal-derived protein and fat sources (brewer’s rice, poultry by-product meal, poultry fat) and was formulated to contain 28% protein, 23% fat, and 5% dietary fiber. The other diet was a plant-protein based diet (PPB) and was composed primarily of moderately digestible plant-derived ingredients (corn, soybean meal, wheat middlings, and meat and bone meal) and was formulated to contain 26% protein, 11% fat, and 15% dietary fiber. Although the two diets were very different in terms of ingredient and chemical composition, both were formulated to meet or exceed all nutrient requirements for canine growth according to the Association of American Feed Control Officials. Young dogs were fed ad libitum to allow for adequate growth, while geriatric dogs were fed to maintain baseline BW throughout the experiment. To produce the desired metabolic effects, the PPB diet was formulated to contain a lower caloric density (APB = 5.38 kcal/g; PPB = 4.75 kcal/g) and have a lower nutrient digestibility than the APB diet. Thus, dogs fed the PPB diet needed to consume a greater (P<0.05) quantity of food (237 g/d; 1123 kcal/d) than dogs fed the APB diet (166 g/d; 893 kcal/d) to grow (young) or maintain BW (geriatrics). Even though metabolic indices were altered, mean BW among dietary treatments was not different at any time over the course of the study for young or geriatric dogs. After 12 months on experiment, animals were fasted for 12 hr and then given a lethal dose (130 mg/kg BW) of sodium pentobarbital (Euthasol, Virbac Corp., Fort Worth, TX) intravenously into the left forearm. Death was confirmed by lack of respiration and a corneal reflex, and absence of a heartbeat detected with a stethoscope placed under the left elbow. Colon samples were collected immediately after death was confirmed, flash frozen using liquid nitrogen, and stored at -80oC. Frozen samples were placed in RNAlater-ICE until epithelial layer could be scraped off and used for microarray analysis.

Project description:Aging animals display a decline in a multitude of physical and physiological functions, including muscle function and strength. Muscle gene expression in dogs has been evaluated for a few select genes under pathogenic or varying dietary conditions, but global gene expression profiles of aged animals has not been performed. Because the mechanisms contributing to age-related decline in muscle function are poorly defined, we used canine microarrays to compare gene expression profiles of muscle tissue from geriatric and young adult dogs. Skeletal muscle (biceps femoris) samples were collected from 6 geriatric (12 yr-old) and 6 young adult (1 yr-old) female beagles after being fed one of two diets (animal protein-based versus plant-protein based) for 12 months. RNA samples were hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChip Canine Genome Arrays. Statistical analyses indicated that age had the greatest impact on gene expression, with 262 genes differentially expressed in geriatric dogs. Although not as robust as age, diet affected mRNA abundance of 22 genes. The effect of age was most notable in genes related to metabolism, cell cycle and cell development, and transcription function, with all of these functional groups being predominantly down-regulated in older animals. The effect of diet on gene expression was mostly limited to the geriatric animals, but interactions between age and diet do not allow for a clear-cut pattern of gene expression to be observed.

Project description:Muscle stem cells (MuSCs) are required for muscle regeneration. In resting muscles, MuSCs are kept in quiescence. After injury, MuSCs undergo rapid activation, proliferation and differentiation to repair damaged muscles. Age-associated impairments in stem cell functions correlate with a decline in somatic tissue regeneration capacity during aging. However, the mechanisms underlying the molecular regulation of adult stem cell aging remain elusive. Here, we obtained quisecent MuSCs from young, old, geriatric mice for high resolution mass spectrometry Bruker timsTOF Pro. By comparison of young proteome to old MuSCs proteome or geriatric MuSC proteome, we identified the pathways that are differentially during aging.

Project description:Skeletal muscle, as a large and insulin sensitive tissue, is an important contributor to metabolic homeostasis and energy expenditure. Obese dogs exhibit skeletal muscle insulin resistance, but the causes of these changes are unclear. Thus, we used canine microarrays to analyze gene expression profiles of skeletal muscle tissue collected from obese dogs, after 24 wk of ad libitum feeding. Skeletal muscle tissue samples were collected from 9 intact female beagles (4 yr-old; 4 control; 5 ad libitum) after 24 wk of ad libitum feeding.
