Project description:Sex differences in lifespan are widespread across animal taxa, but their causes remain unresolved. Alterations to the epigenome are hypothesized to contribute to vertebrate aging, and DNA methylation-based aging clocks allow for quantitative estimation of biological aging trajectories. Here, we investigate the influence of age, sex, and their interaction on genome-wide DNA methylation patterns in the brown anole (Anolis sagrei), a lizard with pronounced female-biased survival and longevity. We develop a series of age predictor models and find that, contrary to our predictions, rates of epigenetic aging were not slower in female lizards. However, methylation states at loci acquiring age-associated changes appear to be more “youthful” in young females, suggesting that female DNA methylomes are preemptively fortified in early life in opposition to the direction of age-related drift. Collectively, our findings provide insights into epigenetic aging in reptiles and suggest that early-life epigenetic profiles may be more informative than rates of change over time for predicting sex biases in longevity.

Project description:The decline of brain function during aging is associated with epigenetic changes, including DNA methylation. Lifestyle interventions can improve brain function during aging, but their influence on age-related epigenetic changes is unknown. Using genome-wide DNA methylation sequencing, we here show that environmental enrichment counteracted age-related DNA methylation changes in the hippocampal dentate gyrus of mice. Specifically, environmental enrichment prevented the aging-induced CpG hypomethylation at target sites of the methyl-CpG-binding protein Mecp2, which is known to control neuronal functions. The genes at which environmental enrichment counteracted aging effects have described roles in neuronal plasticity, neuronal cell communication and adult hippocampal neurogenesis and are dysregulated with age-related cognitive decline in the human brain. Our results highlight the rejuvenating effects of environmental enrichment at the level of DNA methylation and give molecular insights into the specific aspects of brain aging that can be counteracted by lifestyle interventions.

Project description:In the current work, we performed multiple in silico drug screens using transcriptional profiles of 2837 small molecules testing their ability to mimic known genetic longevity interventions. We identified one compound that was most commonly found to mimic the transcriptional profile of the genetic longevity interventions. This benzamide-based small molecule, termed compound 60 (Cmpd60; aka Merck60 or BRD 692), is a selective histone deacetylase 1 and 2 (HDAC1/2) inhibitor. Here, we used a combination of molecular, phenotypic, and bioinformatic analyses in multiple disease cell models and mouse models for age-related disease to establish if Cmpd60 acts as a geroprotector.

Project description:This dataset consists of hepatic gene expression profiles of mice subjected to 4 compounds predicted by Connectivity Map (CMap) using gene signatures identified for known lifespan-extending interventions: ascorbyl-palmitate, KU-0063794, AZD8055 and rilmenidine. Corresponding age-, sex- and strain-matched littermate controls are also presented. Using this data, we confirmed the association between longevity signatures and gene expression response to the predicted compounds in vivo, using the same mouse model as for the identification of gene signatures associated with lifespan extension. This pilot project demonstrated the applicability of such approach for the discovery of new interventions with a desirable effect on gene expression and provided appealing candidates for further longevity studies.

Project description:The decline of brain function during aging is associated with epigenetic changes, including DNA methylation. Lifestyle interventions can improve brain function during aging, but their influence on age-related epigenetic changes is unknown. Using genome-wide DNA methylation sequencing, we here show that experiencing a stimulus-rich environment counteracted age-related DNA methylation changes in the hippocampal dentate gyrus of mice. Specifically, environmental enrichment prevented the aging-induced CpG hypomethylation at target sites of the methyl-CpG-binding protein Mecp2, which is known to control neuronal functions. The genes at which environmental enrichment counteracted aging effects have described roles in neuronal plasticity, neuronal cell communication and adult hippocampal neurogenesis and are dysregulated with age-related cognitive decline in the human brain. Our results highlight the rejuvenating effects of environmental enrichment at the level of DNA methylation and give molecular insights into the specific aspects of brain aging that can be counteracted by lifestyle interventions.

Project description:Biological aging is the dominant risk factor for most chronic diseases. Development of anti-aging interventions offers the promise of simultaneously preventing or even treating many chronic illnesses. Cellular stress resistance is an evolutionarily conserved feature of longevity. Here, we identify compounds that confer resistance to the superoxide generator paraquat (PQ), the heavy metal cadmium (Cd), and the DNA alkylator methyl methanesulfonate (MMS). Some rescue compounds conferred resistance to a single stressor, while others conferred multiplex stress resistance. Induction of stress resistance in mouse fibroblasts was highly predictive of longevity extension in a published large-scale longevity screen in C. elegans. Transcriptomic analysis implicated NRF2 signaling in stress resistance provided by two protective compounds, cardamonin and AEG 3482. Molecules that conferred resistance to PQ also induced cellular inflammatory pathways, and core pathways such as AMPK signaling. Following further optimization, small molecules identified in this work, particularly those that promote resistance to multiple distinct stressors, may represent attractive candidates to evaluate for potential pro-health and pro-longevity effects in mammals.

Project description:We aim to improve anti-ageing drug discovery, currently achieved through laborious and lengthy longevity analysis. Recent studies demonstrated that the most accurate molecular method to measure human age is based on CpG methylation profiles, as exemplified by several epigenetics clocks that can accurately predict an individual’s age. Here, we developed CellAge, a new epigenetic clock that measures subtle ageing changes in primary human cells in vitro. As such it provides a unique tool to measure effects of relatively short pharmacological treatments on ageing. We validated our CellAge clock against known longevity drugs such as rapamycin and trametinib. Moreover, we uncovered novel anti-ageing drugs, torin2 and Dactolisib (BEZ-235), demonstrating the value of our approach as a screening and discovery platform for anti-ageing strategies. CellAge outperforms other epigenetic clocks in measuring subtle ageing changes in primary human cells in culture. The tested drug treatments reduced senescence and other ageing markers, further consolidating our approach as a screening platform. Finally, we showed that the novel anti-ageing drugs we uncovered in vitro, indeed increased longevity in vivo. Our method expands the scope of CpG methylation profiling from measuring human chronological and biological age from human samples in years, to accurately and rapidly detecting anti-ageing potential of drugs using human cells in vitro, providing a novel accelerated discovery platform to test sought after geroprotectors.

Project description:DNA variants that modulate lifespan provide insight into determinants of health, disease, and aging. Through analyses in the UM-HET3 mice of the Interventions Testing Program (ITP), we detected a sex-independent quantitative trait locus (QTL) on chromosome 12 and identified sex-specific QTLs, some of which detected only in older mice. Similar relations between life history and longevity were uncovered in mice and humans, underscoring the importance of early access to nutrients and early growth. We identified common, age- and sex-specific genetic effects on gene expression that we integrated with model organism and human data to create a hypothesis-building interactive resource of prioritized longevity and body weight genes. Finally, we validated Hipk1, Ddost, Hspg2, Fgd6, and Pdk1 as conserved longevity genes using C. elegans lifespan experiments.
