Project description:We describe age-related molecular and neuronal changes that disrupt mobility or energy balance based on brain region and genetic background. Compared to young mice, aged C57BL/6 mice exhibit marked locomotor (but not energy balance) impairments. In contrast, aged BALB mice exhibit marked energy balance (but not locomotor) impairments. Age-related changes in cerebellar or hypothalamic gene expression accompany these phenotypes. Aging evokes upregulation of immune pattern recognition receptors and cell adhesion molecules. However, these changes do not localize to microglia, the major CNS immunocyte. Consistent with a neuronal role, there is a marked age-related increase in excitatory synapses over the cerebellum and hypothalamus. Functional imaging of these regions is consistent with age-related synaptic impairments. These studies suggest that aging reactivates a developmental program employed during embryogenesis where immune molecules guide synapse formation and pruning. Renewed activity in this program may disrupt excitatory neurotransmission, causing significant behavioral deficits. keywords: aging, C57BL/6, BALB, CBA, hypothalamus, cerebellum, striatum, frontal cortex

Project description:Mice deficient in the glucocorticoid-regenerating enzyme 11β-HSD1 resist age-related spatial memory impairment. To investigate the mechanisms/pathways involved, we used microarrays to identify differentially expressed hippocampal genes that associate with cognitive ageing and 11β-HSD1. Aged wild-type mice were separated into memory-impaired and unimpaired relative to young controls according to their performance in the Y-maze. All individual aged 11β-HSD1-deficient mice showed intact spatial memory. The majority of differentially expressed hippocampal genes were increased with ageing (e.g. immune/inflammatory response genes) with no genotype differences. However, the neuronal-specific transcription factor, Npas4 and immediate early gene, Arc were reduced (relative to young) in the hippocampus of memory-impaired but not unimpaired aged wild-type or aged 11β-HSD1-deficient mice. Quantitative RT-PCR and in situ hybridization confirmed reduced Npas4 and Arc mRNA expression in memory-impaired aged wild-type mice. These findings suggest that 11β-HSD1 may contribute to the decline in Npas4 and Arc mRNA levels associated with memory impairment during ageing, and that decreased activity of synaptic plasticity pathways involving Npas4 and Arc may, in part, underlie the memory deficits seen in cognitively-impaired aged wild-type mice. 20 samples, 5 groups of 4 biological replicates each. Young, Wild Type animals are overall controls

Project description:Acute cognitive impairment (i.e., delirium) is common in elderly emergency department patients and frequently results from infections that are unrelated to the central nervous system. Since activation of the peripheral innate immune system induces brain microglia to produce inflammatory cytokines that are responsible for behavioral deficits, we investigated if aging exacerbated neuroinflammation and sickness behavior after peripheral injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Microarray analysis revealed a transcriptional profile indicating the presence of primed or activated microglia and increased inflammation in the aged brain. Furthermore, aged mice had a unique gene expression profile in the brain after an intraperitoneal injection of LPS, and the LPS-induced elevation in the brain inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress was both exaggerated and prolonged compared with adults. Aged mice were anorectic longer and lost more weight than adults after peripheral LPS administration. Moreover, reductions in both locomotor and social behavior remained 24 h later in aged mice, when adults had fully recovered, and the exaggerated neuroinflammatory response in aged mice was not reliably paralleled by increased circulating cytokines in the periphery. Taken together these data establish that activation of the peripheral innate immune system leads to exacerbated neuroinflammation in the aged as compared with adult mice. This dysregulated link between the peripheral and central innate immune system is likely to be involved in the severe behavioral deficits that frequently occur in older adults with systemic infections. Experiment Overall Design: In this study, adult and aged mice were injected intraperitoneal with sterile saline or Escherichia coli LPS (0.33 mg/kg, ~10 µg/mouse; serotype 0127:B8, Sigma). This dosage of LPS was used because it induces a mild transient sickness behavior in young adults. Mice were killed 4 h after saline or LPS injection by CO2 asphyxiation. Blood samples were collected and brains were removed, separated in half at the longitudinal fissure, frozen in liquid nitrogen, and stored (-80°C) until assaying. Total RNA was later isolated from some brain samples for microarray analysis (n=3).

Project description:We carried out a global survey of age-related changes in mRNA levels in the C57BL/6NIA mouse hippocampus and found a difference in the hippocampal gene expression profile between 2-month-old young mice and 15-month-old middle-aged mice correlated with an age-related cognitive deficit in hippocampal-based explicit memory formation. Middle-aged mice displayed a mild but specific deficit in spatial memory in the Morris water maze. Keywords: age comparison

Project description:Age-related impairments in myoblast differentiation may contribute to reductions in muscle function in older adults but the underlying proteostasis processes are not well understood. We investigated young (P6-10) and replicatively aged (P48-50) C2C12 myoblast cultures during early (0h-24h) and late (72h-96h) stages of differentiation using deuterium oxide (D2O) labelling and mass spectrometry. The absolute dynamic profiling technique for proteomics (Proteo-ADPT) was used to quantify the absolute rates of abundance change, synthesis and degradation of individual proteins. Proteo-ADPT encompassed 116 proteins and 74 proteins exhibited significantly (P<0.05, FDR <5 %) different changes in abundance between young and aged cells at early and later periods of differentiation. Young cells exhibited a steady pattern of growth, protein accretion and fusion, whereas aged cells failed to gain protein mass or undergo fusion during later differentiation. Maturation of the proteome was retarded in aged myoblasts at the onset of differentiation, but the proteome appeared to ‘catch up’ with the young cells during the early differentiation period. However, this ‘catch up’ process in aged cells was not accomplished by higher levels of protein synthesis. Instead, a lower level of protein degradation in aged cells was responsible for the elevated gains in protein abundance. Our novel data point to a loss of proteome quality as a precursor to the lack of fusion of aged myoblasts and highlights dysregulation of protein degradation, particularly of ribosomal and chaperone proteins, as a key mechanism that may contribute to age-related declines in the capacity of myoblasts to undergo differentiation.
