Project description:The functional decline of the vascular niches is linked to several disorders, including neurodegeneration and bone loss. However, the causes of this decline are poorly understood. A key signature of aging is the progressive damage of the microvasculature, but a clear picture of its determinants and therapeutic targets in a human context is lacking. We designed/validated a novel approach based on long-living human microvascular networks to study the age-dependent modulation of the endothelium by microenvironment and serum. Young fibroblasts restored the barrier function of aged endothelial cells, an effect counteracted by old serum. Among the involved factors, ANGPTL4 played a key role in restoring cell-cell junctions and vascular barrier. Once validated, we employed this strategy to identify potential targets involved in the degeneration of the Blood Brain Barrier (BBB) in Alzheimer Disease (AD) patients. Using serum from AD as well as from age-matched healthy donors, we demonstrated that PTP4A3 played a critical role in the regulation of vascular permeability and that its inhibition restored the functionality of the BBB exposed to serum from AD patients. We believe our strategy will be an invaluable tool to identify and therapeutically modulate the aging signature of the endothelium in the context of age-related diseases.

Project description:microRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs that post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression by targeting specific mRNAs. Altered expression of circulating miRNAs have been associated with age-related diseases including cancer and cardiovascular disease. Although we and others have found an age-dependent decrease in miRNA expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), little is known about the role of circulating miRNAs in human aging. Here, we examined miRNA expression in human serum from young (mean age 30 years) and old (mean age 64 years) individuals using next generation sequencing technology and real-time quantitative PCR. Of the miRNAs that we found to be present in serum, three were significantly decreased in 20 older individuals compared to 20 younger individuals: miR-151a-5p, miR-181a-5p and miR-1248. Consistent with our data in humans, these miRNAs are also present at lower levels in the serum of elderly rhesus monkeys. In humans, miR-1248 was found to regulate the expression of mRNAs involved in inflammatory pathways and miR-181a was found to correlate negatively with the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNFa and to correlate positively with the anti-inflammatory cytokines TGFb and IL-10. These results suggest that circulating miRNAs may be a biological marker of aging and could also be important for regulating longevity. Identification of stable miRNA biomarkers in serum could have great potential as a noninvasive diagnostic tool as well as enhance our understanding of physiological changes that occur with age. Examination of microRNAs isolated from human serum from 11 young (mean age 30 yrs) and 11 old (mean age 64 yrs) individuals and from peripheral blood mononuclear cells from one young (30 yr) and one old (64 yr) individual.

Project description:Retinal microvessels (RMVs) and brain microvessels (BMVs) were isolated from diabetic and nondiabetic rats. RNA were extracted, amplified and processed on Affymetrix rat 2.0 microarray Chips. Differently expressed genes (DEGs) between diabetic RMVs and nondiabetic RMVs, and between diabetic BMVs and nondiabetic BMVs were analyzed. Using these DEGs, we analyzed and compared the diabetic effects on the gene expression profiles in retinal microvasculature and brain microvasculature. In the brain microvasculature multiple compensatory mechanisms exists, serving to protect brain tissue from diabetic insults, whereas these mechanisms are not activated in the retinal microvasculature.
