Project description:In this work we took 9 samples from brain and 6 samples from muscle of the African turquoise killifish (Nothobranchius furzeri) at 3.5, 8.5 and 14 weeks. Total RNA was sequenced and circRNAs were detected.

Project description:Circular RNAs in the ageing African turquoise killifish

Project description:With advancing age, senescent cells accumulate as they are not efficiently cleared by the immune system anymore. Via a senescence-associated secretory phenotype, chronic senescent cells alter the microenvironment, creating an unfavorable milieu for neurogenesis and neurorepair. Using an innovative and rapid aging model, the African turquoise killifish, we have previously demonstrated a dramatic decline in neurogenic potential of non-glial progenitors with age. Even after traumatic brain injury, progenitor proliferation and neuron production was very low in aged killifish in comparison to young adult killifish, and overall neurorepair was incomplete. In the present study, we validated if the senolytic cocktail dasatinib and quercetin (D+Q) could reboot the neurogenic output by clearing chronic senescent cells from the aged killifish brain to re-create the necessary supportive environment. Our results confirm that the aged killifish telencephalon holds a very high senescent cell burden, which we could diminish by short-term systemic D+Q treatment. As a consequence of D+Q administration, proliferation of non-glial progenitors increased and more new neurons were generated and migrated into the parenchyma after injury. Injury-induced inflammation and glial scarring, a phenomenon only seen in aged killifish, remained unaltered. Senolytic treatment with D+Q might thus hold promise for improving brain function in aged populations, and is especially interesting for reviving the neurogenic potential of an already aged central nervous system.

Project description:Protein aggregation is a hallmark of age-related neurodegeneration. Yet whether aggregation drives age-related dysfunction and disease in other tissues is poorly understood. Here, we leverage the African turquoise killifish to obtain a systematic understanding of protein aggregation in seven tissues in an aging vertebrate.

Project description:The mammalian central nervous system (CNS) is susceptible to age-related pathologies, resulting in progressive, irreversible disease. Neurodegenerative eye conditions, like glaucoma and age-related macular degeneneration (AMD), are on the rise due to increased life expectancy. Despite this, there are currently no long-term therapies to prevent degeneration and vision loss. The short-lived African turquoise kililfsh (Nothobranchius furzeri GRZ-AD) is an ideal genetic model for ageing studies, exhibiting rapid ageing phenotypes within its four to six-mont lifespan. Investigating the molecular consequences of ageing in the retina, we conducted bulk RNA-sequencing, revealing dysregulation of genetic pathways associated with ageing CNS and retinal diseas in the aged killifish retina.

Project description:The mammalian central nervous system (CNS) and its retina are susceptible to age-related patholgoies, resulting in progressive, irreversible diseases like glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration (AMD), which are increasingly prevalent with rising life expectancy. Currently, there are no targeted long-term therapies to prevent vision loss. The short lived African turquoise killifsh (Nothobranchius furzeri, GRZ-AD) is a valuable genetic model for ageing studies, displaying rapid ageing phenotypes within its four to six-month lifespan. Our investigation on the molecular consequences of ageing in the retina, employing scRNA-sequencing, shows a a comprehensive overview of the cellular heterogeneity of the killifish retina, uncovering age-related gene expression changes specific to certain retinal cell populations.
