Project description:This work describes for the first time a different circular RNA (circRNAs) expression pattern between frail and robust individuals. Moreover, the level of some circRNAs is modulated after a physical intervention. These results suggest that they could be used as minimally invasive biomarkers of frailty. Frailty is an intermediate and reversible geriatric syndrome that often precedes dependency. Therefore, its identification is essential to prevent dependency. Diverse molecules have been proposed as biomarkers of frailty, but none of them has reached clinical practice. Recently, circular RNAs have emerged as new non-coding RNAs. Their regulatory role together with their high stability in biofluids makes them good candidates as biomarkers for several processes, but, to date, no studies have characterized circRNA expression in frailty. We studied RNA from leukocytes of 35 frail and 35 robust individuals. After RNA-Sequencing, circRNA detection was performed by CIRI2 and Circexplorer2 and differential expression analysis by DESeq2. Validation was performed by Quantitative-PCR. A Linear Discriminant Analysis was performed to determine the best circRNA combination to discriminate frails from robusts. Besides, CircRNA candidates were studied in 13 additional elder donors before and after a 3-month physical intervention. We found 89 differentially expressed circRNAs (p-value<0.05, FC>|1.5|) with frailty. The upregulation of hsa_circ_0007817, hsa_circ_0101802 and hsa_circ_0060527 in frail individuals was validated. The combination of hsa_circ_0079284, hsa_circ_0007817 and hsa_circ_0075737 levels showed a great biomarker value with a 95.9% probability of correctly classifying frail and robust individuals. Moreover, hsa_circ_0079284 levels decreased after physical intervention in concordance with an improvement in frailty scores.

Project description:Frailty is defined as a clinical syndrome. It reflects a decrease in physiological reserve capacities that alters the mechanisms of adaptation to stress. Its clinical expression is modulated by biological, physiological, social and environmental changes. Thus, the accumulation of declines in these multiple systems leads to vulnerability to adverse outcomes (Fried et al., 2001; Nourhashémi et al., 2001). Indeed, frailty increases the risk of disability, falls, hospitalization and death. Age is currently a major determinant of frailty but does not explain this syndrome alone. It has been estimated that the prevalence of frailty is 4% in people aged 65-69 years and increases to 26% in people aged over 85 years (Clegg et al., 2013). However, this parameter is not sufficient to understand why long-lived people can preserve their physical function even at extreme ages (Ayers et al., 2017). The characterization of frailty has therefore become a priority in order to put in place actions to reduce or delay its harmful consequences. Early diagnostic methods are needed to identify those at risk. The search for biomarkers is part of this approach. As a result, the search for biomarkers of frailty has led to the identification of several types of molecules linked to the inflammatory response (e.g. IL-6, CRP, TNF-α and homocysteine), to nutritional status (e.g. vitamin D, albumin) or even endocrine. metabolism (e.g. IGF-1 and testosterone) (Picca et al., 2022; Mailliez et al., 2020; Alvarez-Sanchez et al, 2020). The development of new analytical techniques now allows multiplexed analysis rather than an individual biomarker to characterize a biological profile of this complex and dynamic frailty syndrome (Picca et al., 2022). Proteomic analysis is the technique of choice for studying the complete protein content of a biological sample. This technique has already proven itself in the discovery of new biomarkers in age-related diseases such as Parkinson's disease (Raghunathan et al., 2022) and Alzheimer's disease (Bai et al., 2021). Several studies have already described the plasma proteomic profile of frailty (Shamsi et al., 2012; Lin et al., 2017; Landino et al., 2021; Sathyan et al., 2020; Verghese et al., 2021), highlighting the importance of biological pathways associated with frailty: immune response, coagulation pathway or lipid metabolism. On the other hand, the determination of the level of frailty of the patients thanks to a proteomic analysis could also make it possible to improve the prediction of this syndrome as well as its phenotyping. In a first work on plasma samples, Sathyan et al. constructed a frailty prediction model that was more strongly correlated with chronological age than observed clinical frailty (Sathyan et al., 2020). Cognitive impairment plays a key role in determining vulnerability to adverse outcomes (Cesari et al., 2013), leading to the proposal in 2013 of a concept and operational definition of “cognitive frailty”. (Sugimoto et al., 2022). Proteomic analysis of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is therefore an approach of choice for understanding brain responses to aging and frailty syndrome. Its analysis could allow the identification of new biomarkers linked to the frailty syndrome. Indeed, many of the CSF proteins are released by the various cells of the central nervous system (CNS). This biofluid thus reflects the molecular content of neuronal and glial cells. For this reason, any change in the composition of the CSF reflects the pathophysiological state of the brain (inflammation, infection, neurodegeneration...). CSF proteomics is therefore a technique of choice to comprehensively understand the cerebral pathogenic pathways linked to frailty. The PROLIPHYC cohort is composed of patients suspected of normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH). We have previously shown that there is an association in these patients between an alteration of the biomechanical properties of the CNS and the frailty index, and that homocysteine is the only plasma macromolecule associated with these two clinical and biomechanical parameters (Vallet et al., 2020; Guillotin et al., 2022). In this new study, we sought to characterize the protein composition of CSF related to frailty by quantitative proteomic analysis. The second objective was to develop a model for predicting frailty from the abundance of CSF proteins. This model was then compared to the frailty estimated by the frailty index. Together, our results enabled us to highlight a possible link between inhibition of the expression of proteins involved in neurogenesis and the frailty index, then to propose a first proteomic profile of frailty in the CSF and a model for predicting frailty based on the biological signature of the CNS.

Project description:Frailty is a geriatric syndrome that represents a state of vulnerability with increased risk of negative health outcomes. In the last years, independent studies attempted to identify biomarkers of frailty at biological level, but no consensus has been reached to date. In this work, we performed a transcriptomic analysis of 25 robust and frail community-dwelling individuals based on Timed Up and Go, Gait Speed and Tilburg Frailty Indicator scales. The comparison between individuals classified as frail or robust by the three tools revealed the expression of 35 transcripts associated with frailty status. These include genes linked to inflammation- and hypoxia-related pathways, immune response or microRNAs. Among them, additional analyses showed that the expression of a 3-gene pattern, increased EGR1 and reduced DDX11L1 and miR454, was able to identify frail individuals with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.86

Project description:Frailty is an aging-associated syndrome resulting from diminished capacity to respond to stressors, disrupted homeostasis. It is a significant risk factor for disability and mortality. Although frailty is usually studied in old age, it is present in mid-life. Given the increases in mortality statistics among middle-aged Americans, understanding molecular drivers of frailty in a younger, diverse cohort may facilitate identifying pathways for early intervention. We analyzed frailty-associated, genome-wide transcriptional changes in middle-aged African Americans (AAs) and whites. Next generation RNA sequencing was completed using total RNA from peripheral blood mononuclear cells. We analyzed differential gene expression patterns and completed a parametric analysis of gene set enrichment (PAGE). Differential gene expression was validated using RT-qPCR. We identified 5,082 genes differentially expressed with frailty. Frailty altered gene expression patterns and biological pathways differently in AAs and whites, including inflammatory and immune response pathways. The validation study showed a significant two-way interaction between frailty, race, and expression of the cytokine IL1B and the transcription factor EGR1. The glucose transporter, SLC2A6, the neutrophil receptor, FCGR3B, and the accessory protein, C17orf56, were decreased with frailty. These results suggest that there may be demographic dependent, divergent biological pathways underlying frailty diagnosis in middle-aged adults.

Project description:Frailty in aging is driven by the dysregulation of multiple biological pathways. Protectin DX (PDX) is a docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)-derived molecule that alleviates many chronic inflammatory disorders, but its potential effects on frailty remain unknown. Our goal is to identify age-related impairments in metabolic systems and to evaluate the therapeutic potential of PDX on frailty, physical performance, and health parameters. A set of 22-month-old C57BL/6 male and female mice were assigned to vehicle (Old) or PDX daily gavage treatment for 8 weeks, whereas 6-monthold (Adult) mice received only vehicle. Forelimb and hindlimb strength, endurance, voluntary wheel activity and walking speed determined physical performance and were combined with a frailty index score and body weight loss to determine frailty status. Our data shows that old vehicle-treated mice from both sexes had body weight loss paralleling visceromegaly, and old females also had impaired insulin clearance as compared to the Adult group. Aging was associated with physical performance decline together with higher odds of frailty development. There was also age-driven mesangial expansion and glomerular hypertrophy as well as bone mineral density loss. All of the in vivo and in vitro impairments observed with aging co-occurred with upregulation of inflammatory pathways and Myc signaling as well as downregulation of genes related to adipogenesis and oxidative phosphorylation in liver. PDX attenuated the age-driven physical performance (strength, exhaustion, walking speed) decline, promoted robustness, prevented bone losses and partially reversed changes in hepatic expression of Myc targets and metabolic genes. In conclusion, our data provides evidence of the beneficial therapeutic effect of PDX against features of frailty in mice. Further studies are warranted to investigate the mechanisms of action and the potential for human translation.

Project description:Low-grade, chronic inflammation during ageing (“inflammageing”) is suggested to be involved in the development of frailty in older age. However, studies on the association between frailty, using the frailty index definition, and inflammatory markers are limited. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between inflammatory markers and frailty index (FI) in older, home-dwelling adults. Home-dwelling men and women aged ≥ 70 years old, living in South-East Norway were recruited and included in a cross-sectional study. The FI used in the current study was developed according to Rockwood’s frailty index and included 38 variables, resulting in an FI score between 0 and 1 for each participant. Circulating inflammatory markers (IL-6, CRP, IGF-1, cystatin C, cathepsin S, and glycoprotein Acetyls) were analyzed from non-fasting blood samples using ELISA. Whole-genome PBMC transcriptomics was used to study the association between FI score and inflammation. The present study was a cross-sectional study that included home-dwelling men and women aged ≥ 70 years old, living in the Skedsmo area, South-East Norway. The study was conducted in 2014/2015 and has been described previously [Ottestad I, Ulven SM, Øyri LKL, Sandvei KS, Gjevestad GO, Bye A, et al. Reduced plasma concentration of branched-chain amino acids in sarcopenic older subjects: a cross-sectional study. Br J Nutr. 2018;120(4):445-53]. The participants were recruited by the National Register and received an invitation letter by mail. Briefly, a total of 2820 subjects were invited, and 437 subjects participated in the study. The participants met for a single study visit, and data was collected on dietary intake, body weight and composition, physical performance, medical history, cognitive function, risk of malnutrition, anthropometric measurements, blood pressure, heart rate, and quality of life. Non-fasting blood samples were also collected.

Project description:Frailty affects the physical, cognitive, and social domains exposing older adults to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and death. The mechanisms linking frailty and cardiovascular outcomes are mostly unknown. Here, we studied the association of abundance (flow cytometry) and gene expression profile (RNAseq) of stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) and molecular markers of inflammaging (ELISA) with the cardiorespiratory phenotype and prospective adverse events of individuals classified according to levels of frailty. Two cohorts of older adults were enrolled in the study. In a cohort of pre-frail 35 individuals (average age: 75 years), a physical frailty score above the median identified subjects with initial alterations in cardiorespiratory function. RNA sequencing revealed S100A8/A9 upregulation in HSPCs from the bone marrow (>10-fold) and peripheral blood (>200-fold) of individuals with greater physical frailty. Moreover higher frailty was associated with increased alarmins S100A8/A9 and inflammatory cytokines in peripheral blood. We then studied a cohort of 104 more frail individuals (average age: 81 years) with multi-domain health deficits. Reduced levels of circulating HSPCs and increased S100A8/A9 concentrations were independently associated with the frailty index. Remarkably, low HSPCs and high S100A8/A9 simultaneously predicted major adverse cardiovascular events at 1-year follow-up after adjustment for age and frailty index. In conclusion, inflammaging characterized by alarmin and pro-inflammatory cytokines in pre-frail individuals is mirrored by the pauperization of HSPCs in frail older people with comorbidities. S100A8/A9 is upregulated within HSPCs, identifying a phenotype that associates with poor cardiovascular outcomes.

Project description:Circular RNAs (circRNAs), a noncoding RNA class originating from alternative splicing, are highly abundant in neural tissues and were shown to regulate gene expression e.g. by interacting with microRNAs and RNA-binding proteins. Neuroblastoma is an embryonal neoplasia, which arises from undifferentiated neural crest cells. Here, we aimed to explore, whether circRNAs influence the pathogenesis of high-risk neuroblastoma. We performed whole-transcriptome sequencing of 104 primary neuroblastoma samples of all risk-groups and identified 5,203 unique circRNAs involving 2,302 genes. Candidate circRNA expression did not correlate with host gene expression, indicating independent regulatory mechanisms. circRNAs were significantly downregulated in the MYCN-amplified high-risk tumors. These findings were independently reproduced in a tetracycline-inducible MYCN-overexpression system based on a non MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma cell line, suggesting that MYCN drives this global circRNA repression. We identified the RNA helicase DHX9 as a mediator of this global suppressive effect of MYCN on circRNAs. Comparing our RNA sequencing data with other cancers and controls revealed a circRNA subset specifically upregulated in neuroblastoma that included a circRNA derived from the ARID1A tumor suppressor gene. Specific circARID1A knockdown resulted in reduced proliferation, cell numbers and viability, prompted apoptosis and induced a differentiated phenotype. Neither knockdown, nor overexpression of circARID1A influenced ARID1A mRNA and protein levels significantly. To dissect the potential mode of function, we performed a pulldown assay with subsequent mass spectrometry. We identified the RNA-binding protein KHSRP as an interaction partner that participates in the mechanism of action of circARID1A. In summary, this study highlights an important role of circRNAs in neuroblastoma biology and may establish this RNA class as a future therapeutic target and biomarker.
