Project description:In almost every countries the proportion of people over 60 years is growing faster that any other age group. Increased life expectancy is leading to the characterization of specific aspects of aging for the various physiological systems. The study of healthy aging is important to design strategies capable to maximize the health and to prevent chronic diseases in older people. Immunosenscence reflects the age-related changes of the immune system and the reduced capacity of elderly people to cope with new infections. To elucidate changes in gene expression related to systemic aging and immunosenescence in an unbiased manner we performed comparative microarray analysis on whole blood cell from healthy middle-aged versus elderly men, and correlated results with functional measurements of aerobic capacity. Blood cells from elderly subjects showed age-related changes in the expression of several markers of immunosenescence, inflammation and oxidative stress, and showed impairments in metabolic and biosynthetic capacities. Whole blood samples from twenty healthy men between the ages of 45-55 (n=11) and 65-75 (n=9) years old were analyzed for this study. For each subject blood was sampled in two different occasions, which were separated by at least 7 days. To preseve RNA quality and integrity 3 ml of blood have been collected intoTEMPUS Blood RNA tubes (ABI, Foster City, CA, USA). Total RNA has been depleted of globin mRNA using the GLOBINclearâ¢-Human kit (Ambion, Austin, TX). To reduce variations due to confounding events, such as spontaneous up- and down-regulation of genes, the two samples of clean RNA from each subject were pooled into one single sample (1ug+1ug RNA).

Project description:Differences in the activity of monocytes/macrophages, important target cells of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, might influence tuberculosis progression. With the purpose of identifying candidate genes for tuberculosis susceptibility we infected with M. tuberculosis monocytes from both, healthy elders (a tuberculosis susceptibility group) and elderly tuberculosis patients, and performed a microarray experiment. We detected 78 differentially expressed transcripts and confirmed these results by quantitative PCR of selected genes. We found that monocytes from tuberculosis patients showed similar expression patterns of these genes regardless of whether they were obtained from younger or elder patients. Only one of the detected genes corresponded to a cytokine: IL-26, a member of the IL-10 cytokine family that we found downregulated in infected monocytes from tuberculosis patients. We have analyzed total RNA from Mycobacterium tuberculosis infected monocytes. We have isolated CD14+ cells (monocytes) from peripheral blood mononuclear cells by magnetic separation, and infected them for 4 days with 1 bacterium per monocyte. Blood donors were 7 elderly patients with pulmonary tuberculosis (average age: 83 years; sex: 3 men and 4 women) and 8 non-tuberculous volunteers (81 years, 6 men and 2 women).

Project description:The study of disease-associated immune biomarkers has revealed underlying pathogenic mechanisms and provided diagnostic and prognostic values in numerous clinical settings. Accurate immune profiling of normal age and sex demographics is crucial for understanding the relevance of disease biomarkers. The incidence of age-associated diseases in the elderly and prevalence of diseases in specific genders may be explained by these normal phenotypic variation in the cellular immune system. Here we use microarrays of cluster of differentiation (CD) antibodies to immunophenotype populations of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from healthy adult blood donors. The data revealed a set of statistically significant age- and gender-dependent expression patterns across the study population. We identified functional differences in immune biomarkers on PBMC associated with major innate, adaptive and inflammatory immune functions. The CD array data supported established observations using flow cytometric methods on age-associated changes in immune biomarkers, while also identifying novel markers associated with age and/or gender. The data demonstrates the utility of CD antibody arrays in providing a systematic and quantitative basis for understanding the development and progression of diseases that have an age-dependent and gender-specific etiology. Blood samples were collected from healthy male and female blood donors acrooss various age groups, predominantly Caucasians, from the Australian Red Cross Blood Service, Sydney, Australia, and from elderly males enrolled in the Concord Health and Aging in Men Project (CHAMP) at Concord Hospital, Sydney, Australia. PBMCs were fractionated from whole blood and applied to a cell capture CD antibody microarray. The microarray was then scaned by a DotScan™ slide reader (Medsaic; Eveleigh, NSW, Australia). The number of immobilized cells was proportional to the light scattered at each antibody spot. Binding of PBMCs to each antibody dot was monitored by light scatter and averaged between the duplicate spots on each slide. We then performed statistical analysis to identify CD antigen markers that has an statistically significant association with age and/or gender

Project description:Caloric restriction (CR) is considered to increase lifespan and to prevent various age-related diseases in different non-human organisms. Only a limited number of CR studies have been performed in humans, and results put CR as a beneficial tool to decrease risk factors in several age-related diseases. The question remains at what age CR should be implemented to be most effective with respect to healthy aging. The aim of our study was to elucidate the role of age in the transcriptional response to a 30% CR diet in immune cells, as immune response is affected during aging. Ten healthy young men, aged 20-34, and nine healthy old men, aged 64-85, were subjected to a two week weight maintenance diet, followed by three weeks of 30% CR. Before and after 30% CR, peripheral blood mononuclear cellsâ (PBMCs) whole genome gene expression was assessed. Expression of 554 genes showed a different response between young and old men upon CR. Gene set enrichment analysis revealed a downregulation of gene sets involved in immune response in young men, but not in old men. At baseline, immune response-related genes were already higher expressed in old compared to young men. Upstream regulator analyses revealed that most potential regulators were controlling immune response, and were inhibited in young men upon CR, and activated in old men at baseline. Based on the gene expression data, we conclude that a short period of CR is more effective in young men compared to old men regarding immune related pathways. Gene expression was profiled in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from young and old men before and after 30% caloric restriction.
