The serum small non-coding RNA (SncRNA) landscape as a molecular biomarker of age associated muscle dysregulation and insulin resistance in older adults.

ABSTRACT: Small noncoding RNAs (sncRNAs) are implicated in age-associated pathologies, including sarcopenia and insulin resistance (IR). This study aimed to characterise the wider circulating sncRNA transcriptome of older individuals and associations with sarcopenia and IR. Total RNA was used for sncRNA expression including miRNAs, transfer RNAs (tRNAs), tRNA-associated fragments (tRFs) and piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) was measured in serum from 21 healthy and 21 sarcopenic women matched for age (mean 78.9 years) and HOMA2-IR from the Hertfordshire Sarcopenia Study. Associations with age, sarcopenia and HOMA2-IR were examined, and predicted gene targets and biological pathways characterised.

Epigenome analysis of muscle tissue samples from male participants of the Hertfordshire Sarcopenia Study (HSS) and Hertfordshire Sarcopenia Study extension (HSSe)

Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of muscle tissue genomic DNA. The Illumina Infinium MethylationEPIC array was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 850,000 CpGs. Samples were male, taken from both the Hertfordshire Sarcopenia Study (HSS, n=34) and the Hertfordshire Sarcoepnia Study exension (HSSe, n=44), to determine DNA methylation associations with measures of muscle mass and function. We further aimed to test whether differences in the muscle methylome are associated with sarcopenia in older individuals. We found significant associations between DNA methylation in the muscle tissue and sarcopenia, as well as individual measures of muscle mass and function, enriched around EZH2 binding sites.

Single-nuclei profiling of aged skeletal muscle

Project description:Aging is accompanied by a loss of muscle mass and function, termed sarcopenia, causing numerous morbidities and economic burdens in human populations. Mechanisms implicated in age-related sarcopenia include inflammation, muscle stem cell depletion, mitochondrial dysfunction and loss of motor neurons, but whether there are key drivers of sarcopenia is not yet known. To gain deeper insights into age-related sarcopenia, we performed transcriptome profiling on lower limb muscle biopsies from 72 young, old and sarcopenic subjects using bulk RNA-seq (N = 72) and single-nuclei RNA-seq (N = 17). Using this combined approach, we discovered novel changes in gene expression that occur with age and sarcopenia in multiple cell types comprising mature skeletal muscle. Notably, we found increased expression of the genes MYH8 and PDK4, and decreased expression of the gene IGFN1, in old muscle. We also identified a small population of nuclei that express CDKN1A, present only in aged samples, consistent with P21CIP1 senescence in this subpopulation. Our findings identify unique cellular sub-populations populations in aged and sarcopenic skeletal muscle, which will facilitate the development of new therapeutic strategies to combat age-related sarcopenia.

Changes in Pdgfra-positive mesenchymal progenitors during muscle regeneration under normal and obese condition.

Project description:Worldwide increases in obese and elderly populations synergistically enhance the incidence of sarcopenia. Accumulation of intermuscular adipose tissue (IMAT) is considered to be a major problem whereby obesity leads to sarcopenic obesity and thus is a promising target for treating this emerging pathological condition. However, while sarcopenic obesity-associated IMAT is suggested to be originated from PDGFRα+ mesenchymal progenitors, processes of their adipogenesis remain largely unexplored. Here we investigated intracellular changes associated with these processes using scRNA-Seq analysis.

Short-term diet intervention alters the small non coding RNA (sncRNA) landscape of human sperm

Project description:Offspring health outcomes are often linked with epigenetic alterations triggered by maternal nutrition and intrauterine environment. Strong experimental data also link paternal preconception nutrition with pathophysiology in the offspring, but the mechanism(s) routing effects of paternal exposures remain elusive. Animal experimental models have highlighted small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs) as potential regulators of these effects. This study characterised the baseline sncRNA landscape of human sperm and the effect of a 6 week dietary intervention on their expression profile. 5’tRFs, miRNA and piRNAs were the most abundant sncRNA subtypes identified; their expression was associated with age, BMI and sperm quality. Nutritional intervention with vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids altered expression of 3 tRFs, 15 miRNAs and 112 piRNAs, targeting genes involved in fatty acid metabolism and transposable elements in the sperm genome.

DNA methylation of insulin signalling pathways in human primary muscle stem cells is associated with HOMA2-IR in older adults

Project description:Context: While ageing is associated with increased insulin resistance (IR), the molecular mechanisms underlying increased IR in muscle, the primary organ for glucose clearance, have yet to be elucidated in older individuals. As epigenetic processes are suggested to contribute to development of ageing-associated diseases, in human primary muscle stem cells (myoblasts) from community dwelling older individuals we investigated whether differential DNA methylation was associated with IR. Methods: We measured DNA methylation (Infinium HumanMethylationEPIC BeadChip) in myoblast cultures from vastus lateralis biopsies (119 male/females, mean age 78.24 years) from the Hertfordshire Sarcopenia Study extension (HSSe) and examined differentially methylated Cytosine phosphate Guanine (CpG) sites (dmCpG), regions (DMRs) and gene pathways associated with HOMA2-IR (derived from fasting insulin/glucose) and HbA1c. Results: 38 dmCpGs (false discovery rate (FDR)<0.05), and 8 DMRs (Stouffer<0.05) were associated with HOMA2-IR; 6 dmCpGs and 3 DMRs were robust to adjustment for BMI, including DMRs within T-box transcription factor (TBX1) and nuclear receptor subfamily-2 group F member-2 (NR2F2). HOMA2-IR associated dmCpGs were enriched in genes linked with skeletal muscle development and insulin signalling. 49 dmCpGs were associated with HbA1c, with 48 robust to adjustment for BMI. The only dmCpG associated with both HOMA2-IR and HbA1c was cg13451048, located within Exoribonuclease Family Member 3 (ERI3). HOMA2-IR and HbA1c dmCpGs were not associated with accelerated epigenetic ageing. Conclusions: These findings suggest differential DNA methylation in muscle stem cells may contribute to age-related decline in glycaemic control. The identification of dmCpGs, associated genes and pathways may provide novel targets for pharmacological intervention.

Genomic and proteomic profiling reveals reduced mitochondrial function and disruption of the neuromuscular junction driving rat sarcopenia

Project description:Molecular mechanisms underlying sarcopenia, the age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass and function, remain unclear. To identify molecular changes that correlated best with sarcopenia and might contribute to its pathogenesis, we determined global gene expression profiles in muscles of rats aged 6, 12, 18, 21, 24, and 27 months. These rats exhibit sarcopenia beginning at 21 months. Correlation of the gene expression versus muscle mass or age changes, and functional annotation analysis identified gene signatures of sarcopenia distinct from gene signatures of aging. Specifically, mitochondrial energy metabolism (e.g., tricarboxylic acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation) pathway genes were the most downregulated and most significantly correlated with sarcopenia. Also, perturbed were genes/pathways associated with neuromuscular junction patency (providing molecular evidence of sarcopenia-related functional denervation and neuromuscular junction remodeling), protein degradation, and inflammation. Proteomic analysis of samples at 6, 18, and 27 months confirmed the depletion of mitochondrial energy metabolism proteins and neuromuscular junction proteins. Together, these findings suggest that therapeutic approaches that simultaneously stimulate mitochondrogenesis and reduce muscle proteolysis and inflammation have potential for treating sarcopenia.
