Using the short-lived vertebrate Nothobranchius furzeri, we investigated how sex and intermittent fasting (IF) interact to regulate lifespan and skeletal muscle aging. We establish an IF regimen that extends lifespan in both males and females, despite trade-offs including reduced growth and reproductive output. Importantly, IF improves swimming performance in aged animals of both sexes. Under normal feeding, muscle aging exhibits pronounced sexual dimorphism. Males show age-associated myofiber hyperplasia, whereas females preserve fiber number but undergo hypertrophic remodeling. IF partially attenuates both phenotypes, maintaining a youthful fiber size distribution in males and females. Single-nucleus RNA-sequencing reveals sex-specific remodeling of muscle-fiber composition with age: females shift toward oxidative slow-twitch fibers under normal feeding, a change attenuated by IF, while males maintain relatively stable fiber-type proportions across diets. Cell-cell communication analyses show a global age-associated decline in intercellular signaling, with IF restoring distinct pathways in a sex-specific manner, including IGF signaling in females and metabolic ANGPTL signaling in males. Bulk transcriptomic profiling indicates largely sexually dimorphic aging trajectories, whereas IF induces both shared and sex-specific responses. Notably, IF upregulates ribosome biogenesis and genes supporting myofibrillar organization and contraction in both sexes, likely contributing to preserved muscle function. Together, these findings demonstrate that IF promotes longevity and muscle health through conserved anabolic mechanisms alongside sex-specific cellular preservation and adaptation, underscoring the importance of sex as a biological variable in interventions for healthy aging.</p>","PeriodicalId":119,"journal":{"name":"Aging Cell","volume":"25 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.1,"publicationDate":"2026-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13740022/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149339977","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We aimed to address this question using an inducible model of muscle-specific knockout of Depdc5, which encodes the protein DEP domain containing 5 (DEPDC5), a negative regulator of mTORC1.

This review synthesizes current knowledge on how age-related sleep and circadian disturbances exacerbate inflammaging through distinct molecular and cellular pathways. We examine the nocturnal dysregulation of the immune system, focusing on innate immune hyperactivation (e.g., via NLRP3 inflammasome and TLR4 signaling), cellular senescence (SASP), adaptive immune decline (T-cell aging), and disruption of systemic pathways such as the gut-brain axis. Clinical and epidemiological data link sleep disorders, particularly obstructive sleep apnea, to elevated inflammatory markers, accelerated epigenetic aging, and cognitive decline. Conversely, inflammaging impairs circadian regulatory structures, further degrading sleep quality. Interventions targeting the sleep-immune axis, including melatonin, circadian reinforcement, senotherapeutics, and lifestyle modifications, hold promise for mitigating inflammaging.

Here, we hypothesised that senescent fibroblasts disrupt B cell activation and expansion, thus contributing to the diminution of the humoral response in ageing. To test this hypothesis, we established an in vitro system in which human tonsil-derived YK6 fibroblasts expressing CD40L are co-cultured with PBMC-derived B cells. B cell activation, proliferation, and phenotype in response to low- and high-stimulation conditions was determined in co-culture with control or bleomycin-treated YK6 fibroblasts. Control YK6 fibroblasts promoted B-cell activation and proliferation in both 2D and 3D cultures, whereas bleomycin-treated fibroblasts robustly inhibited B-cell proliferation without impairing early activation. Conditioned media from bleomycin-treated fibroblasts partially reduced B cell proliferation, although to a lesser extent than direct co-culture, suggesting cell-cell contact was key to inhibiting B cell proliferation. Bleomycin-treated YK6 fibroblasts upregulated genes associated with impaired lymphocyte responses, such as PDCD1LG2, which may impact B cell activation. Indeed, B cells co-cultured with bleomycin-treated fibroblasts failed to fully initiate glycolysis and were essentially unable to synthesise new protein.

Here, we used overexpression of the two reprogramming factors SOX2 and cMYC to generate iNSCs from erythroid progenitors of donors ranging from neonatal to 101 years of age. Using an epigenetic aging clock algorithm, we corroborated our previous finding that iNSCs generated from aged donors show pronounced epigenetic de-aging, preserving around 13% and 5% of the original donor age at low and high passages, respectively. Studying the dynamics of epigenetic de-aging during iNSC conversion across time, we found that this process is largely protracted, continuing for several weeks and even under proliferation-inhibiting conditions. Transcriptomic differences between young and old donor-derived iNSCs dissipate with extended time in conversion, too. Concordant with this observation, established iNSC lines lack age-associated cellular hallmarks, similar to induced pluripotent stem cells and their derivatives. Interestingly, time course analysis of DNA methylation and RNA sequencing data revealed that acquisition of a bona fide NSC signature extends greatly beyond the time point when proliferative PAX6-positive iNSCs emerge.
