Aging Fly Cell Atlas Identifies Exhaustive Aging Features at Cellular Resolution

ABSTRACT: Aging is accompanied by the functional decline of all tissues, but it is still largely unknown how aging impacts different tissues in a cell type-specific manner. Here, we present the Aging Fly Cell Atlas (AFCA) that includes single-nucleus transcriptomes of the entire Drosophila head and body from both males and females at four different ages. We characterize 162 distinct cell types and present an in-depth analysis of cell type-specific aging features, including changes of cell composition, gene expression, number of expressed genes, transcriptome noise, and cell identity. By combining all aging features, including aging clock models predicting a cell’s age, we find cell-type specific aging patterns. Adipose tissues showed the highest aging score, followed by two cell types from the reproductive system. This transcriptomic atlas provides a valuable resource for the community to study fundamental principles of aging in complex organisms.

Single-cell Transcriptomic Profiling of the Hypothalamic Median Eminence during Aging

Project description:Aging is a slow and progressive natural process that compromises the normal functions of cells, tissues, organs and systems. The aging of the hypothalamic median eminence (ME), a structural gate linking neural and endocrine systems, may impair hormone release, energy homeostasis and central sensing of circulating molecules, leading to systemic and reproductive aging. However, the molecular and cellular features of ME aging remain largely unknown. Here we describe the transcriptional landscape of young and middle-aged mouse ME at single-cell resolution, revealing the common and cell-type-specific transcriptional changes with age. The transcriptional changes in cell-intrinsic programs, cell-cell crosstalk and cell-extrinsic factors highlight five molecular features of ME aging and also implicate several potentially druggable targets at cellular, signaling and molecular levels. Importantly, our results suggest that vascular and leptomeningeal cells may lead the asynchronized aging process among diverse cell types and drive local inflammation and cellular senescence via a unique secretome. Together, our study uncovers how intrinsic and extrinsic features of each cell type in the hypothalamic ME are changed by the aging process, which will facilitate our understanding of brain aging and provide clues for efficient anti-aging intervention at the middle-aged stage.

Single cell analysis of the aging hypothalamus

Project description:Alterations in metabolism, sleep patterns, body composition, and hormone status are all key features of aging. The hypothalamus is a well-conserved brain region that controls these homeostatic and survival-related behaviors. Despite the importance of this brain region in healthy aging, little is known about the intrinsic features of hypothalamic aging. Here, we utilize single nuclei RNA-sequencing to assess the transcriptomes of 40,064 hypothalamic nuclei from young and aged female mice. We identify cell type-specific signatures of aging in neurons, astrocytes, and microglia, as well as among the diverse collection of neuronal subtypes in this region. We uncover key changes in cell types critical for metabolic regulation and body composition, as well as in an area of the hypothalamus linked to cognition. In addition, our analysis reveals female-specific changes in sex chromosome regulation in the aging brain. This study identifies critical cell-specific features of the aging hypothalamus in mammals.

The complete cell atlas of an aging multicellular organism

Project description:Here we describe a single-cell atlas of aging for virtually every cell type of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Our findings suggest that C. elegans aging is not random in nature, but rather characterized by coordinated changes in functionally related metabolic and stress-response genes in a highly cell-type specific fashion. Aging signatures of different cell types are largely different from one another, with downregulation of energy metabolism being the only nearly universal change. Similarly, the rates at which cells aged, measured as genome-wide expression changes, differed significantly between cell types. In some, but not all, cell types, aging was characterized by an increase in cell-to-cell variance. Finally, we identified a signature for longevity transcription factors (TFs) whose activities changed coordinately across many cell types with age. We discovered new candidates, such as GEI-3, among these TFs that likely also regulate the aging rate. Our dataset can be accessed and queried at c.elegans.aging.atlas.research.calicolabs.com/.

Molecular and genetic insights into human ovarian aging from single-nuclei multi-omics analyses

Project description:The ovary is the first organ to age in the human body, affecting both fertility and overall health. However, the biological mechanisms underlying human ovarian aging remain poorly understood. Here we present a comprehensive single-nuclei multi-omics atlas of four young (ages 23–29 years) and four reproductively aged (ages 49–54 years) human ovaries. Our analyses reveal coordinated changes in transcriptomes and chromatin accessibilities across cell types in the ovary during aging, notably mTOR signaling being a prominent ovary-specific aging pathway. Cell-type-specific regulatory networks reveal enhanced activity of the transcription factor CEBPD across cell types in the aged ovary. Integration of our multi-omics data with genetic variants associated with age at natural menopause demonstrates a global impact of functional variants on gene regulatory networks across ovarian cell types. We nominate functional non-coding regulatory variants, their target genes and ovarian cell types and regulatory mechanisms. This atlas provides a valuable resource for understanding the cellular, molecular and genetic basis of human ovarian aging.

Aging-associated alterations in mammary epithelia and stroma revealed by single-cell RNA sequencing

Project description:Aging of the mammary gland is closely associated with increased susceptibility to breast cancer, yet there have been limited systematic studies of aging-induced alterations within this organ. Here we leveraged the power of high-throughput single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) to generate a detailed transcriptomic atlas of young and aged murine mammary tissues, including both epithelial and stromal cell types. This analysis identified altered proportions and distinct gene expression patterns in multiple cell populations as a consequence of aging, independent of history of pregnancy and hormone cycle. In addition, we detected a rare luminal cell type that expresses both hormone-sensing and alveolar lineage markers as well as a unique gene expression signature. In addition, these cells exhibit a significant decrease in relative abundance with age. Overall, this high-resolution transcriptomic landscape reveals the effects of aging on normal mammary gland physiology and can serve as a valuable resource for understanding aging-associated susceptibility to breast cancer.

An atlas of the aging lung mapped by single cell transcriptomics and deep tissue proteomics

Project description:Aging promotes lung function decline and susceptibility to chronic lung diseases, which are the third leading cause of death worldwide. We used single cell transcriptomics and mass spectrometry to quantify changes in cellular activity states of 30 cell types and the tissue proteome from lungs of young and old mice. Aging led to increased transcriptional noise, indicating deregulated epigenetic control. We observed highly distinct effects of aging on cell type level, uncovering increased cholesterol biosynthesis in type-2 pneumocytes and lipofibroblasts as a novel hallmark of lung aging. Proteomic profiling revealed extracellular matrix remodeling in old mice, including increased collagen IV and XVI and decreased Fraser syndrome complex proteins and Collagen XIV. Computational integration of the aging proteome and single cell transcriptomes predicted the cellular source of regulated proteins and created a first unbiased reference of the aging lung. The lung aging atlas can be accessed via an interactive user-friendly webtool at: https://theislab.github.io/LungAgingAtlas

A single-cell transcriptomic atlas of mouse pituitary aging

Project description:Aging is a multifactorial process with significant functional alterations of the human body including endocrinal systems which control the whole-body physiology and metabolism. In this vein, aging-induced decline of endocrine function are associated with multiple physiological and metabolic diseases. However, aging-associated molecular shifts in the pituitary gland, the central organ of the endocrine system, have not been dissected systemically. In this study, we conducted single-cell transcriptomic analysis of the anterior pituitary gland by comparing old and young male mice. Single-cell transcriptomics not only increased the resolution for clustering of various cell types in the pituitary gland, but also enabled detailed analysis of differential expression and intercellular communication caused by aging. In summary, our study constructed the first single-cell transcriptomic atlas of pituitary aging and identified associated features of in a single-cell level, providing resources to develop novel potential therapeutic targets for aging-associated endocrine dysfunction.
