Reduced uremic metabolites are prominent feature of sarcopenia, distinct from antioxidative markers for frailty

ABSTRACT:

Due to global aging, frailty and sarcopenia are increasing. Sarcopenia is defined as loss of volume and strength of skeletal muscle in elderlies, while frailty involves multiple domains of aging-related dysfunction, impaired cognition, hypomobility and decreased social activity. However, little is known about the metabolic basis of sarcopenia, either shared with or discrete from frailty. Here we analyzed comprehensive metabolomic data of human blood in relation to sarcopenia, previously collected from 19 elderly participants in our frailty study. Among 131 metabolites, we identified 22 sarcopenia markers, distinct from 15 frailty markers, mainly including antioxidants, although sarcopenia overlaps clinically with physical frailty. Notably, 21 metabolites that decline in sarcopenia or low SMI are uremic compounds that increase in kidney dysfunction. These comprise TCA cycle, urea cycle, nitrogen and methylated metabolites. Sarcopenia markers imply a close link between muscle and kidney function, while frailty markers define a state vulnerable to oxidative stress.

Project description:Sepsis is a severe and dysregulated inflammatory disease that often precedes the development of acute kidney injury (AKI) with consequent worsening outcome. The main characteristics of sepsis-induced AKI include endothelial cell (EC) dysfunction, infiltration of inflammatory cells, glomerular thrombosis, and renal tubular epithelial cells (RTEC) injury. Numerous studies have demonstrated that mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) activation has been implicated in the initiation and progression of renal injury in course of sepsis. However, little is known, about the molecular basis of mTOR role in EC and RTEC dysfunction. Here, we evaluate whether mTOR inhibition by Rapamycin (Rp) as potential strategy to ameliorate renal function and dissected the molecular mechanisms involved. In a mouse model of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced AKI , LPS injection led to a time-dependent increase of serum creatinine and significant morphological changes in renal parenchyma associated with increased collagen deposits and endothelial dysfunction. Interestingly, Rp treatment significantly decreased creatine levels and preserved renal parenchyma, counteracting Endothelial-to mesenchymal transition (EndMT) process and early fibrosis through the inhibition of ERK pathway. Next, we examined the effects of LPS-TLR4 interaction in RTECs. Through a whole-genome DNA methylation analysis in cultured RTEC, we found that LPS induced aberrant methylation, particularly in regions involved in premature aging. The most represented genes were CD39 and WFS1. LPS stimulation of RTEC led to up-regulation of SA-β Gal and cell cycle arrest markers such as p21. In accordance, in endotoxemic mice, we found a decreased expression of CD39 concurrent with Klotho down-regulation. Administration of Rp exerted anti-aging effects in endotoxemic mice, preserving CD39 and Klotho expression. In conclusion, we demonstrated that mTOR inhibition could offer novel strategies to protect endothelial and tubular compartment from accelerated aging and fibrosis thus counteracting the progression to chronic kidney disease.
