Abstract
BACKGROUND Aging is a prominent risk factor for diverse diseases; therefore, an in-depth understanding of its physiological mechanisms is required. Nonhuman primates, which share the closest genetic relationship with humans, serve as an ideal model for exploring the complex aging process. However, the potential of the nonhuman primate animal model in the screening of human aging markers is still not fully exploited. Multiomics analysis of nonhuman primate peripheral blood offers a promising approach to evaluate new therapies and biomarkers. This study explores aging-related biomarker through multilayer omics, including transcriptomics (mRNA, lncRNA, and circRNA) and proteomics (serum and serum-derived exosomes) in rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta). RESULTS Our findings reveal that, unlike mRNAs and circRNAs, highly expressed lncRNAs are abundant during the key aging period and are associated with cancer pathways. Comparative analysis highlighted exosomal proteins contain more types of proteins than serum proteins, indicating that serum-derived exosomes primarily regulate aging through metabolic pathways. Finally, eight candidate aging biomarkers were identified, which may serve as blood-based indicators for detecting age-related brain changes. CONCLUSIONS Our results provide a comprehensive understanding of nonhuman primate blood transcriptomes and proteomes, offering novel insights into the aging mechanisms for preventing or treating age-related diseases.

Abstract
Aging is accompanied by alterations in the body with time-related to decline of physiological integrity and functionality process, responsible for increasing diseases and vulnerability to death. Several ages associated with biomarkers were observed in red blood cells, and consequently plasma proteins have a critical rejuvenating role in the aging process and age-related disorders. Advanced age is a risk factor for a broad spectrum of diseases and disorders such as cardiovascular diseases, musculoskeletal disorders and liver, chronic kidney disease, neurodegenerative diseases, and cancer because of loss of regenerative capacity, correlated to reduced systemic factors and raise of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Most studies have shown that systemic factors in young blood/plasma can strongly protect against age-related diseases in various tissues by restoring autophagy, increasing neurogenesis, and reducing oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis. Here, we focus on the current advances in using young plasma or blood to combat aging and age-related diseases and summarize the experimental and clinical evidence supporting this approach. Based on reports, young plasma or blood is new a therapeutic approach to aging and age-associated diseases.

Chronic stress-induced anxiety-like behavior, hippocampal oxidative, and endoplasmic reticulum stress are reversed by young plasma transfusion in aged adult rats. IRANIAN JOURNAL OF BASIC MEDICAL SCIENCES 2024; 27:114-121. [PMID: 38164475 PMCID: PMC10722476 DOI: 10.22038/ijbms.2023.72437.15754] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2023] [Accepted: 08/07/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024]
Abstract
Objectives Aging and stress synergistically induce behavioral dysfunctions associated with oxidative and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in brain regions. Considering the rejuvenating effects of young plasma on aging brain function, in the current study, we examined the effects of young plasma administration on anxiety-like behavior, NADH oxidase, NADPH oxidase, and ER stress markers in the hippocampus of old male rats. Materials and Methods Young (3 months old) and aged (22 months old) rats were randomly assigned into five groups: young control (Y), aged control (A), aged rats subjected to chronic stress for four weeks (A+S), aged rats subjected to chronic stress and treated with old plasma (A+S+OP), and aged rats subjected to chronic stress and treated with young plasma (A+S+YP). Systemic injection of (1 ml) young and old plasma was performed for four weeks (3 times/week). Results Young plasma transfusion significantly improved anxiety-like behavior in aged rats and modulated oxidative stress in the hippocampus, evidenced by the increased NADH oxidase (NOX) activity and the reduced NADPH oxidase. In addition, the levels of C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP) and Glucose-Regulated Protein 78 (GRP-78), as ER stress markers, markedly reduced in the hippocampus following the administration of young plasma. Conclusion These findings suggest that young plasma transfusion could reverse anxiety-like behavior in stress-exposed aged rats by modulating the hippocampal oxidative and ER stress markers.

Abstract
Aging is accompanied by deterioration in physical condition, and creates high risks of diseases. Stem cell therapy exhibited promising potential in delaying aging. However, the unelucidated therapeutic mechanism limits future clinical application. Herein, to systematically understand the response to stem cell transfusion at the molecular level, we performed quantitative serum proteomic and peptidomics analyses in the 24-month-old aging mice model with or without mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) treatment. As a result, a total of 560 proteins and 2131 endogenous peptides were identified, among which, 6 proteins and 9 endogenous peptides derived from 6 precursor proteins were finally identified as therapeutic biomarkers after MSC transfusion on aging mice both by untargeted label-free quantification and targeted parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) quantification. Amazingly, the biological function of these differential proteins was mainly related to inflammation, which is not only the important hallmark of aging, but also the main cause of inducing aging. The reduction of these inflammatory protein content after MSC treatment further suggests the anti-inflammatory effect of MSC therapy reported elsewhere. Therefore, our study provides new evidence for the anti-inflammatory effect of MSC therapy for anti-aging and offers abundant data to support deeper investigations of the therapeutic mechanism of MSC in delaying aging.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A connection between plasma levels of haptoglobin (Hp) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) has been shown in several observational studies. It is debatable, nonetheless, how the two are related causally. OBJECTIVE To establish the causal relationship between Hp and AD using a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study. METHODS From the extensive genome-wide association studies and FinnGen dataset, summaries and statistics pertaining to AD were gathered. We investigated the possibility of a causal link between Hp and AD using a two-sample MR study. Inverse variance weighting was used as the primary analytical technique, and it was supported by the joint application of complementary analyses and fixed effects meta-analysis to combine results from various sources. RESULTS Genetically determined Hp was causally associated with AD [odds ratio (OR), 1.05; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.02 to 1.09; p = 8.96×10-4]; Inverse variance-weighted estimates coming from different data sources were combined in a meta-analysis with consistent findings (OR, 1.03; 95% CI, 1.01 to 1.05; p = 2.00×10-3). The outcomes of the inverse MR analysis showed that AD had no appreciable causal impact on Hp. CONCLUSION The present MR analysis shows that higher plasma Hp leads to an increased risk of AD. Strategies for plasma Hp testing may open up new doors for the early diagnosis and prevention of AD.

Abstract
Aging is a progressive loss of physiological function and increased susceptibility to major pathologies. Degenerative diseases in both brain and bone including Alzheimer disease (AD) and osteoporosis are common in aging groups. TERC is RNA component of telomerase, and its deficiency accelerates aging-related phenotypes including impaired life span, organ failure, bone loss, and brain dysfunction. In this study, we investigated the traits of bone marrow-brain cross-tissue communications in young mice, natural aging mice, and premature aging (TERC deficient, TERC-KO) mice by single-cell transcriptome sequencing. Differentially expressed gene analysis of brain as well as bone marrow between premature aging mouse and young mouse demonstrated aging-related inflammatory response and suppression of neuron development. Further analysis of senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) landscape indicated that TERC-KO perturbation was enriched in oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) and hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPC). Series of inflammatory associated myeloid cells was activated in premature aging mice brain and bone marrow. Cross-tissue comparison of TERC-KO mice brain and bone marrow illustrated obvious ligand-receptor communications between brain glia cells, macrophages, and bone marrow myeloid cells in premature aging-induced inflammation. Enrichment of co-regulation modules between brain and bone marrow identified premature aging response genes such as Dusp1 and Ifitm3. Our study provides a rich resource for understanding premature aging-associated perturbation in brain and bone marrow and supporting myeloid cells and endothelial cells as promising therapy targeting for age-related brain-bone diseases.

Abstract
Studies have shown that factors in the blood of young organisms can rejuvenate the old ones. Studies using heterochronic parabiosis models further reinforced the hypothesis that juvenile factors can rejuvenate aged systems. We sought to determine the effect of juvenile plasma-derived factors on the outcome following hemorrhagic shock injury in aged mice. We discovered that pre-pubertal (young) mice subjected to hemorrhagic shock survived for a prolonged period, in the absence of fluid resuscitation, compared to mature or aged mice. To further understand the mechanism of maturational dependence of injury resolution, extracellular vesicles isolated from the plasma of young mice were administered to aged mice subjected to hemorrhagic shock. The extracellular vesicle treatment prolonged life in the aged mice. The treatment resulted in reduced oxidative stress in the liver and in the circulation, along with an enhanced expression of the nuclear factor erythroid factor 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and its target genes, and a reduction in the expression of the transcription factor BTB and CNC homology 1 (Bach1). We propose that plasma factors in the juvenile mice have a reparative effect in the aged mice in injury resolution by modulating the Nrf2/Bach1 axis in the antioxidant response pathway.

Quantification of human plasma metalloproteins in multiple sclerosis, ischemic stroke and healthy controls reveals an association of haptoglobin-hemoglobin complexes with age. PLoS One 2022; 17:e0262160.

Abstract
Advanced analytical methods play an important role in quantifying serum disease biomarkers. The problem of separating thousands of proteins can be reduced by analyzing for a ‘sub-proteome’, such as the ‘metalloproteome’, defined as all proteins that contain bound metals. We employed size exclusion chromatography (SEC) coupled to an inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometer (ICP-AES) to analyze plasma from multiple sclerosis (MS) participants (n = 21), acute ischemic stroke (AIS) participants (n = 17) and healthy controls (n = 21) for Fe, Cu and Zn-metalloproteins. Using ANOVA analysis to compare the mean peak areas among the groups revealed no statistically significant differences for ceruloplasmin (p = 0.31), α2macroglobulin (p = 0.51) and transferrin (p = 0.31). However, a statistically significant difference was observed for the haptoglobin-hemoglobin (Hp-Hb) complex (p = 0.04), being driven by the difference between the control group and AIS (p = 0.012), but not with the MS group (p = 0.13), based on Dunnes test. A linear regression model for Hp-Hb complex with the groups now adjusted for age found no statistically significant differences between the groups (p = 0.95), but was suggestive for age (p = 0.057). To measure the strength of association between the Hp-Hb complex and age without possible modifications due to disease, we calculated the Spearman rank correlation in the healthy controls. The latter revealed a positive association (r = 0.39, 95% Confidence Interval = (-0.05, 0.83), which suggests that either the removal of Hp-Hb complexes from the blood circulation slows with age or that the release of Hb from red blood cells increases with age. We also observed that the Fe-peak corresponding to the Hp-Hb complex eluted ~100 s later in ~14% of all study samples, which was not correlated with age or disease diagnosis, but is consistent with the presence of the smaller Hp (1–1) isoform in 15% of the population.

Abstract
Background Healthy plasma therapy reverses cognitive deficits and promotes neuroplasticity in ageing brain disease. However, whether healthy plasma therapy improve blood–brain barrier integrity after stroke remains unknown. Methods Here, we intravenously injected healthy female mouse plasma into adult female ischaemic stroke C57BL/6 mouse induced by 90 min transient middle cerebral artery occlusion for eight consecutive days. Infarct volume, brain atrophy and neurobehavioural tests were examined to assess the outcomes of plasma treatment. Cell apoptosis, blood–brain barrier integrity and fibroblast growth factor 21 knockout mice were used to explore the underlying mechanism. Results Plasma injection improved neurobehavioural recovery and decreased infarct volume, brain oedema and atrophy after stroke. Immunostaining showed that the number of transferase dUTP nick end labelling+/NeuN+ cells decreased in the plasma-injected group. Meanwhile, plasma injection reduced ZO-1, occluding and claudin-5 tight junction gap formation and IgG extravasation at 3 days after ischaemic stroke. Western blot results showed that the FGF21 expression increased in the plasma-injected mice. However, using FGF21 knockout mouse plasma injecting to the ischaemic wild-type mice diminished the neuroprotective effects. Conclusions Our study demonstrated that healthy adult plasma treatment protected the structural and functional integrity of blood–brain barrier, reduced neuronal apoptosis and improved functional recovery via FGF21, opening a new avenue for ischaemic stroke therapy.

Abstract
Ischemic stroke is one of the major diseases that cause mortality and morbidity of human beings, but there is still lack of effective treatment and prevention. We found that 2-(2-Benzofuranyl)-2-Imidazoline (2-BFI) is potently protective against stroke and acute inflammatory immune disease. Moreover, the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling contributes effectively to the modulation of post-stroke neuroinflammatory response. However, whether the protection of 2-BFI against ischemic injury is through mTOR-mediated neuroinflammatory response remains unestablished. Here, we used 2-BFI to treat ischemic rats induced by distal middle cerebral artery occlusion (dMCAO). We found that 2-BFI administration after dMCAO improved the neurological deficits and decreased the infarct volume. 2-BFI reduced phosphorylation of mTOR and p70S6, increased IL-10 and TGF-β, and decreased IFN-γ levels in ischemic rats. Our results demonstrated that 2-BFI attenuates ischemic injury by inhibiting the activation of mTOR signaling and modulating neuroinflammation after stroke in rats.

Abstract
Progressive neurological deterioration poses enormous burden on the aging population with ischemic stroke and neurodegenerative disease patients, such as Alzheimers’ disease and Parkinson’s disease. The past two decades have witnessed remarkable advances in the research of neurovascular unit dysfunction, which is emerging as an important pathological feature that underlies these neurological disorders. Dysfunction of the unit allows penetration of blood-derived toxic proteins or leukocytes into the brain and contributes to white matter injury, disturbed neurovascular coupling and neuroinflammation, which all eventually lead to cognitive dysfunction. Recent evidences suggest that aging-related oxidative stress, accumulated DNA damage and impaired DNA repair capacities compromises the genome integrity not only in neurons, but also in other cell types of the neurovascular unit, such as endothelial cells, astrocytes and pericytes. Combating DNA damage or enhancing DNA repair capacities in the neurovascular unit represents a promising therapeutic strategy for vascular and neurodegenerative disorders. In this review, we focus on aging related mechanisms that underlie DNA damage and repair in the neurovascular unit and introduce several novel strategies that target the genome integrity in the neurovascular unit to combat the vascular and neurodegenerative disorders in the aging brain.

Abstract
Aging is a fundamental biological process accompanied by a general decline in tissue function and an increased risk for age-related disease. The risk for cardiovascular, stroke, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases significantly increases with aging, especially in people aged 60 years and older in the USA. Although the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying aging and age-related disease are beginning to be unraveled, the role of the systemic milieu remains unknown. Recent studies have shown that systemic factors in young blood can revise age-related impairments and extend organismal lifespan, suggesting that the systemic milieu contains pro-aging and rejuvenating factors that play a critical role in the health and aging phenotype. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge of systemic milieu changes during the aging process and its link to age-related deterioration.
