Abstract
Population ageing is increasing in prevalence in most developed countries. Ageing is the decline of functional properties at the cellular, tissue, and organ level. Biochemical changes that occur in all organisms that experience biological ageing are referred to as the "Hallmarks of ageing". Inflammation is a common denominator of the hallmarks of ageing, being mechanistically involved in most age-related health consequences. Inflamm-ageing refers to age-related changes in the inflammatory and immune systems which somehow drive the ageing process towards healthy or unhealthy ageing. Current evidences, support that, reversing the age-related pro-inflammatory status of inflamm-ageing, is able to modulate most hallmarks of ageing. Inflamm-ageing is associated with increased levels of pro-inflammatory molecules (e.g. cytokines, chemokines), ultimately producing a chronic low-grade inflammatory state typically observed in older individuals. It is commonly accepted that, the balance between pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines/chemokines is one of the factors determining whether healthy or unhealthy ageing occurs. Malnutrition and nutritional imbalances, are highly prevalent in the elderly, playing a role in driving the balance of pro- and anti-inflammatory immunoactive molecules. In particular, malnutrition is a major risk factor for sarcopenia, a phenomenon characterized by loss of muscle mass, which is often referred to as the biological basis for frailty. Given the close relationship between malnutrition and sarcopenia, there is also evidence for a link between malnutrition and frailty. Indeed, changes in cytokine/chemokine levels in elderly patients with malnutrition were demonstrated. The demonstration that specific cytokines play a role in modulating appetite and nutrient sensing and taste reception, provided further evidence for the existence of a link between inflamm-ageing, nutrition and cytokines in shaping the trajectory of ageing. The present review will overview current evidence supporting the role of specific circulating cytokines and chemokines in the relationship between ageing, inflammation, and malnutrition.

Abstract
The bone marrow is a haven for hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cells, creating complex micro-anatomical regions called niches. These distinct niches all participate in an intricate orchestra of cellular interactions that regulates the hematopoietic stem cell and its progenies. In this review, we provide a detailed description of the three most well-known bone marrow niches and their participation in hematopoiesis. We use pre-clinical data, including different in vitro and in vivo studies to discuss how a group of proteins called Semaphorins could potentially modulate both hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cells, establishing links between the niches, semaphorins, and hematopoietic regulation. Thus, here we provide a deep dive into the inner functioning of the bone marrow and discuss the overarching implications that semaphorins might have on blood formation.

Clin Chim Acta 2024; 555:117791. [PMID: 38266969 DOI: 10.1016/j.cca.2024.117791] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2023] [Revised: 12/26/2023] [Accepted: 01/16/2024] [Indexed: 01/26/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND T cell dysfunction observed in patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) has been linked to an extremely high morbidity of cardiovascular events (CVEs) and infections. The cell-surface 5'-nucleotidase CD73 sets the balance between pro-inflammatory nucleotides and anti-inflammatory adenosine. METHODS A total of 395 patients who had been receiving HD for at least six months were evaluated for proportions of CD73+ cells in both the CD4+ T cell and CD8+ T cell compartment and followed for one year to document CVEs and infections. Differences in the proportions of CD73-expressingT cells between healthy controls and patients undergoing HD were compared. The relationship between CD73+ T cells and clinical outcomes was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier curve and Cox regression. RESULTS HD was significantly related to a lower fraction of CD4+CD73+ T cells. In patients on HD, lower proportions of CD4+ CD73+T cells and CD8+ CD73+T cells were both associated with systemic inflammation and T cell terminal differentiation. More importantly, a lower CD4+CD73+T cell ratio independently predicted CVEs and infection in these patients. CONCLUSION We identified CD73 as a T cell dysfunction marker predicting cardiovascular and infection events in patients undergoing HD, which provides a potential target in future studies of uremia-related immune dysfunction.

Reduced protein intake and aging affects the sustainment of hematopoiesis by impairing bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. J Nutr Biochem 2024; 124:109511. [PMID: 37913969 DOI: 10.1016/j.jnutbio.2023.109511] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2023] [Revised: 09/06/2023] [Accepted: 10/26/2023] [Indexed: 11/03/2023]
Abstract
Protein malnourishment (PM) is common among the elderly, but how aging and PM impact hematopoiesis is not fully understood. This study aimed to assess how aging and PM affect the hematopoietic regulatory function of bone marrow (BM) mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Young and aged male C57BL/6J mice were fed with normoproteic or hypoproteic diets and had their nutritional, biochemical, and hematological parameters evaluated. BM MSCs were characterized and had their secretome, gene expression, autophagy, reactive oxygen species production (ROS), and DNA double-stranded breaks evaluated. The modulation of hematopoiesis by MSCs was assayed using in vitro and in vivo models. Lastly, BM invasiveness and mice survival were evaluated after being challenged with leukemic cells of the C1498 cell line. Aging and PM alter biochemical parameters, changing the peripheral blood and BM immunophenotype. MSC autophagy was affected by aging and the frequencies for ROS and DNA double-stranded breaks. Regarding the MSCs' secretome, PM and aging affected CXCL12, IL-6, and IL-11 production. Aging and PM up-regulated Akt1 and PPAR-γ while down-regulating Cdh2 and Angpt-1 in MSCs. Aged MSCs increased C1498 cell proliferation while reducing their colony-forming potential. PM and aging lowered mice survival, and malnourishment accumulated C1498 cells at the BM. Finally, aged and/or PM MSCs up-regulated Sox2, Nanog, Pou5f1, and Akt1 expression while down-regulating Cdkn1a in C1498 cells. Together, aging and PM can induce cell-intrinsic shifts in BM MSCs, creating an environment that alters the regulation of hematopoietic populations and favoring the development of malignant cells.

Abstract
Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are increasingly being used in bone marrow transplantation (BMT) to enable homing of the allogeneic hematopoietic stem cells and suppress acute graft versus host disease (aGVHD). The aim of this study was to optimize the labelling of BMSCs with superparamagnetic iron oxide particles (SPIOs), and evaluate the impact of the SPIOs on the biological characteristics, gene expression profile and chemotaxis function of the BMSCs. The viability and proliferation rates of the SPIO-labeled BMSCs were analyzed by trypan blue staining and CCK-8 assay respectively, and the chemotaxis function was evaluated by the transwell assay. The expression levels of chemokine receptors were measured by RT-PCR and flow cytometry. The SPIOs had no effect on the viability of the BMSCs regardless of the labelling concentration and culture duration. The labelling rate of the cells was higher when cultured for 48 h with the SPIOs. Furthermore, cells labeled with 25 µg/ml SPIOs for 48 h had the highest proliferation rates, along with increased expression of chemokine receptor genes and proteins. However, there was no significant difference between the chemotaxis function of the labeled and unlabeled BMSCs. To summarize, labelling BMSCs with 25 µg/ml SPIOs for 48h did not affect their biological characteristics and chemotaxis function, which can be of significance for in vivo applications.
