Secondary integrated analysis of multi-tissue transcriptomic responses to a combined lifestyle intervention in older adults from the GOTO nonrandomized trial. Nat Commun 2024; 15:7013. [PMID: 39147741 PMCID: PMC11327278 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-50693-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2023] [Accepted: 07/18/2024] [Indexed: 08/17/2024] Open
Abstract
Molecular effects of lifestyle interventions are typically studied in a single tissue. Here, we perform a secondary analysis on the sex-specific effects of the Growing Old TOgether trial (GOTO, trial registration number GOT NL3301 ( https://onderzoekmetmensen.nl/nl/trial/27183 ), NL-OMON27183 , primary outcomes have been previously reported in ref. 1), a moderate 13-week combined lifestyle intervention on the transcriptomes of postprandial blood, subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) and muscle tissue in healthy older adults, the overlap in effect between tissues and their relation to whole-body parameters of metabolic health. The GOTO intervention has virtually no effect on the postprandial blood transcriptome, while the SAT and muscle transcriptomes respond significantly. In SAT, pathways involved in HDL remodeling, O2/CO2 exchange and signaling are overrepresented, while in muscle, collagen and extracellular matrix pathways are significantly overexpressed. Additionally, we find that the effects of the SAT transcriptome closest associates with gains in metabolic health. Lastly, in males, we identify a shared variation between the transcriptomes of the three tissues. We conclude that the GOTO intervention has a significant effect on metabolic and muscle fibre pathways in the SAT and muscle transcriptome, respectively. Aligning the response in the three tissues revealed a blood transcriptome component which may act as an integrated health marker for metabolic intervention effects across tissues.

Abstract
Aging is the greatest non-modifiable risk factor for most diseases, including cardiovascular diseases (CVD), which remain the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Robust evidence indicates that CVD are a strong determinant for reduced brain health and all-cause dementia with advancing age. CVD are also closely linked with peripheral and cerebral vascular dysfunction, common contributors to the development and progression of all types of dementia, that are largely driven by excessive levels of oxidative stress (e.g., reactive oxygen species [ROS]). Emerging evidence suggests that several fundamental aging mechanisms (e.g., "hallmarks" of aging), including chronic low-grade inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, cellular senescence and deregulated nutrient sensing contribute to excessive ROS production and are common to both peripheral and cerebral vascular dysfunction. Therefore, targeting these mechanisms to reduce ROS-related oxidative stress and improve peripheral and/or cerebral vascular function may be a promising strategy to reduce dementia risk with aging. Investigating how certain lifestyle strategies (e.g., aerobic exercise and diet modulation) and/or select pharmacological agents (natural and synthetic) intersect with aging "hallmarks" to promote peripheral and/or cerebral vascular health represent a viable option for reducing dementia risk with aging. Therefore, the primary purpose of this review is to explore mechanistic links among peripheral vascular dysfunction, cerebral vascular dysfunction, and reduced brain health with aging. Such insight and assessments of non-invasive measures of peripheral and cerebral vascular health with aging might provide a new approach for assessing dementia risk in older adults.

Abstract
Background Dietary restriction (DR) is a well-established universal anti-aging intervention, and is neuroprotective in multiple models of nervous system disease, including models with cerebellar pathology. The beneficial effects of DR are associated with a rearrangement of gene expression that modulate metabolic and cytoprotective pathways. However, the effect of DR on the cerebellar transcriptome remained to be fully defined. Results Here we analyzed the effect of a classical 30% DR protocol on the transcriptome of cerebellar cortex of young-adult male mice using RNAseq. We found that about 5% of expressed genes were differentially expressed in DR cerebellum, the far majority of whom showing subtle expression changes. A large proportion of down-regulated genes are implicated in signaling pathways, in particular pathways associated with neuronal signaling. DR up regulated pathways in large part were associated with cytoprotection and DNA repair. Analysis of the expression of cell-specific gene sets, indicated a strong enrichment of DR down genes in Purkinje cells, while genes specifically associated with granule cells did not show such a preferential down-regulation. Conclusion Our data show that DR may have a clear effect on the cerebellar transcriptome inducing a mild shift from physiology towards maintenance and repair, and having cell-type specific effects.

Abstract
Background: Regulation of nutrient status during fasting and refeeding plays an important role in maintaining metabolic homeostasis in the liver. Thus, we investigated the impact of the physiological Fed-Fast-Refed cycle on hepatic gene expression in nutrient-sensitive mice. Methods: We performed transcriptomic analysis of liver samples in fed, fasted and refed groups of mice. Through mRNA-sequencing (RNA-Seq) and miRNA-Seq, we compared fasted and fed states (fasted versus fed cohort) as well as refed and fasted states (refed versus fasted cohort) to detect dynamic alterations of hepatic mRNA-miRNA expression during the fed-fasted-refed cycle. Results: We found dozens of dysregulated mRNAs-miRNAs in the transition from fed to fasted and from fasted to refed states. Gene set enrichment analysis showed that gene expression of the two cohorts shared common pathways of regulation, especially for lipid and protein metabolism. We identified eight significant mRNA and three miRNA clusters that were up-downregulated or down-upregulated during the Fed-Fast-Refed cycle. A protein-protein interaction network of dysregulated mRNAs was constructed and clustered into 22 key modules. The regulation between miRNAs and target mRNAs was presented in a network. Up to 42 miRNA-mRNA-pathway pairs were identified to be involved in metabolism. In lipid metabolism, there were significant correlations between mmu-miR-296-5p and Cyp2u1 and between mmu-miR-novel-chr19_16777 and Acsl3. Conclusion: Collectively, our data provide a valuable resource for the molecular characterization of the physiological Fed-Fast-Refed cycle in the liver.

Abstract
Precision nutrition has emerged as a boiling area of nutrition research, with a particular focus on revealing the individual variability in response to diets that is determined mainly by the complex interactions of dietary factors with the multi-tiered "omics" makeups. Reproducible findings from the observational studies and diet intervention trials have lent preliminary but consistent evidence to support the fundamental role of gene-diet interactions in determining the individual variability in health outcomes including obesity and weight loss. Recent investigations suggest that the abundance and diversity of the gut microbiome may also modify the dietary effects; however, considerable instability in the results from the microbiome research has been noted. In addition, growing studies suggest that a complicated multiomics algorithm would be developed by incorporating the genome, epigenome, metabolome, proteome, and microbiome in predicting the individual variability in response to diets. Moreover, precision nutrition would also scrutinize the role of biological (circadian) rhythm in determining the individual variability of dietary effects. The evidence gathered from precision nutrition research will be the basis for constructing precision health dietary recommendations, which hold great promise to help individuals and their health care providers create precise and effective diet plans for precision health in the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Potential positive link between cognitive function and dietary restriction has been widely concerned. The present study describes a systematic review and preliminary meta-analysis to assess the efficacy of dietary restriction on cognitive function. We classified dietary restrictions as Calories Restriction (CR) and Intermittent Fasting (IF). METHOD This systematic review and meta-analysis conducted following the guidelines of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis Statement (PRISMA) Checklist, Databases including PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) assessing the cognition effectiveness of dietary restriction from database inception to Sep 2021. RESULT Eleven RCTs met the inclusion criteria in the systematic review and meta-analysis. The overall effect of dietary restriction on cognitive function is SMD = 0.22 (95% CI: 0.09-0.34, p < 0.01). The effect on global function SMD = 0.35 (95% CI: 0.04-0.65, p < 0.05) and memory SMD = 0.18 (95% CI: 0.00-0.35, p = 0.05) is significant. MCI showed the best effectiveness SMD = 0.36 (95% CI: 0.05-0.68, p < 0.05), followed by the normal weight population SMD = 0.28 (95% CI: 0.03-0.52, p < 0.05) and overweight population SMD = 0.20 (95% CI: 0.06-0.34, p < 0.01). No statistically significant difference showed between IF and CR (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION Our study demonstrated that dietary restriction has varying degrees of positive effect on cognitive function in overweight/normal-weight people and MCI. However, it should be cautious when generalizing to other populations. Additional high-quality, large-scale, cohort and intervention studies are needed to further assess the effectiveness of dietary restriction on cognition.
