In Brief

      Aging affects the immune system and establishes a chronic low-grade inflammation (inflammaging). Mogilenko et al. defined organ-specific and common alterations of immune cell populations in aging and identified a distinct subset of clonal GZMK+ CD8+ T cells as a conserved cellular hallmark of inflammaging in mice and humans.

SUMMARY

      Systematic understanding of immune aging on a whole-body scale is currently lacking. We characterized age-associated alterations in immune cells across multiple mouse organs using single-cell RNA and antigen receptor sequencing and flow cytometry-based validation. We defined organ-specific and common immune alterations and identified a subpopulation of age-associated granzyme K (GZMK)-expressing CD8+ T (Taa) cells that are distinct from T effector memory (Tem) cells. Taa cells were highly clonal, had specific epigenetic and transcriptional signatures, developed in response to an aged host environment, and expressed markers of exhaustion and tissue homing. Activated Taa cells were the primary source of GZMK, which enhanced in-flammatory functions of non-immune cells. In humans, proportions of the circulating GZMK+ CD8+ T cell population that shares transcriptional and epigenetic signatures with mouse Taa cells increased during healthy aging. These results identify GZMK+ Taa cells as a potential target to address age-associated dysfunctions of the immune system.

In brief

      Ma and colleagues report a multi-tissue single-cell transcriptomic atlas of HP. They reveal that adult stem cells, especially bone marrow HSPCs, are responsive to the changing milieu. Focusing on HSPCs, they uncover HPinduced rejuvenating programs with underlying key mediators, overexpression of which recharges the lymphopoiesis potential of aged HSCs.

SUMMARY

      The young circulatory milieu capable of delaying aging in individual tissues is of interest as rejuvenation strategies, but how it achieves cellular- and systemic-level effects has remained unclear. Here, we constructed a single-cell transcriptomic atlas across aged tissues/organs and their rejuvenation in heterochronic parabiosis (HP), a classical model to study systemic aging. In general, HP rejuvenated adult stem cells and their niches across tissues. In particular, we identified hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) as one of the most responsive cell types to young blood exposure, from which a continuum of cell state changes across the hematopoietic and immune system emanated, through the restoration of a youthful transcriptional regulatory program and cytokine-mediated cell-cell communications in HSPCs. Moreover, the reintroduction of the identified rejuvenating factors alleviated age-associated lymphopoiesis decline. Overall, we provide comprehensive frameworks to explore aging and rejuvenating trajectories at single-cell resolution and revealed cellular and molecular programs that instruct systemic revitalization by blood-borne factors.

In brief

Martinez-Miguel et al. demonstrate that improving translation fidelity by mutating a single amino acid in the decoding center of the ribosome suffices to improve health and longevity in yeast, worms, and flies. This work provides a direct link between fewer errors in translation and longevity.

Highlights

● Evolutionarily selected arginine in RPS23 is present only in hyperthermophilic archaea

● RPS23 K60R mutation in flies leads to improved accuracy of protein synthesis with age

● Yeast, worm, and fly RPS23 K60R mutants are longer-lived, healthier, and heat resistant

● Anti-aging drugs, rapamycin, torin1, and trametinib, increase translation accuracy

SUMMARY

      Loss of proteostasis is a fundamental process driving aging. Proteostasis is affected by the accuracy of translation, yet the physiological consequence of having fewer protein synthesis errors during multi-cellular organismal aging is poorly understood. Our phylogenetic analysis of RPS23, a key protein in the ribosomal decoding center, uncovered a lysine residue almost universally conserved across all domains of life, which is replaced by an arginine in a small number of hyperthermophilic archaea. When introduced into eukaryotic RPS23 homologs, this mutation leads to accurate translation, as well as heat shock resistance and longer life, in yeast, worms, and flies. Furthermore, we show that anti-aging drugs such as rapamycin, Torin1, and trametinib reduce translation errors, and that rapamycin extends further organismal longevity in RPS23 hyperaccuracy mutants. This implies a unified mode of action for diverse pharmacological anti-aging therapies. These findings pave the way for identifying novel translation accuracy interventions to improve aging.

SUMMARY

Partial pluripotent reprogramming can reverse features of aging in mammalian cells, but the impact on somatic identity and the necessity of individual reprogramming factors remain unknown. Here, we used single-cell genomics to map the identity trajectory induced by partial reprogramming in multiple murine cell types and dissected the influence of each factor by screening all Yamanaka Factor subsets with pooled single-cell screens. We found that partial reprogramming restored youthful expression in adipogenic and mesenchymal stem cells but also temporarily suppressed somatic identity programs. Our pooled screens revealed that many subsets of the Yamanaka Factors both restore youthful expression and suppress somatic identity, but these effects were not tightly entangled. We also found that a multipotent reprogramming strategy inspired by amphibian regeneration restored youthful expression in myogenic cells. Our results suggest that various sets of reprogramming factors can restore youthful expression with varying degrees of somatic identity suppression. A record of this paper’s Transparent Peer Review process is included in the supplemental information.

Abstract

Genetic, environmental, and pharmacological interventions into the aging process can confer resistance to multiple age-related diseases in laboratory animals, including rhesus monkeys. These findings imply that individual mechanisms of aging might contribute to the co-occurrence of age-related diseases in humans and could be targeted to prevent these conditions simultaneously. To address this question, we text mined 917,645 literature abstracts followed by manual curation and found strong, nonrandom associations between age-related diseases and aging mechanisms in humans, confirmed by gene set enrichment analysis of GWAS data. Integration of these associations with clinical data from 3.01 million patients showed that age-related diseases associated with each of five aging mechanisms were more likely than chance to be present together in patients. Genetic evidence revealed that innate and adaptive immunity, the intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway and activity of the ERK1/2 pathway were associated with multiple aging mechanisms and diverse age-related diseases. Mechanisms of aging hence contribute both together and individually to age-related disease co-occurrence in humans and could potentially be targeted accordingly to prevent multimorbidity.
