Evidence suggests that the plasma proteome is an accurate source for measuring biological age and predicting age-related clinical outcomes. To investigate whether PLHIV on antiretroviral therapy (ART) exhibit a premature aging phenotype, we profiled the plasma proteome of two independent cohorts of virally suppressed PLHIV (200HIV and 2000HIV) and one cohort of people without HIV (200FG) using O-link technology. Next, we built a biological age-prediction model and correlated age advancement (the deviation of the predicted age from the chronological age) with HIV-related factors, comorbidities, and cytokines secreted by immune cells. We identified a common signature of 77 proteins associated with chronological age across all cohorts, most of which were involved in inflammatory and senescence-related processes. PLHIV showed increased age advancement compared to people without HIV. In addition, age advancement in the 2000HIV cohort was positively associated with prior hepatitis C and cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections, non-AIDS-related comorbidities, ART duration, cumulative exposure to the protease inhibitor Ritonavir, as well as higher production of monocyte-derived proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines and lower secretion of T-cell derived cytokines. Our proteome-based predictive model is a promising approach for calculating the age advancement in PLHIV. This will potentially allow for further characterization of the pathophysiological mechanisms linked to accelerated aging and enable monitoring the effectiveness of novel therapies aimed at reducing age-related diseases in PLHIV.</p>","PeriodicalId":119,"journal":{"name":"Aging Cell","volume":" ","pages":"e14468"},"PeriodicalIF":8.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142982072","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, injecting DPSC-exos into the SMGs of D-gal mice improved stimulated salivary flow rate, reduced acinar atrophy, and decreased SA-β-gal activity. Our study identified that increased senescence of SMGs in aging mice can cause a decrease in salivary secretion by disrupting the expression and distribution of tight junction molecules, and injection of DPSC-exos ameliorates SMG secretory dysfunction.

The airway epithelial barrier defends against bacteremia and is dependent upon apical junctional complex (AJC) proteins such as E-cadherin. After mouse lung challenge, pneumolysin (PLY), a key Sp virulence factor, stimulates epithelial secretion of an inflammatory eicosanoid, triggering the infiltration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) that secrete high levels of neutrophil elastase (NE), thus promoting epithelial damage and systemic infection. Here, pulmonary E-cadherin staining of intratracheally (i.t.) inoculated mice revealed PLY-mediated disruption of AJC independently of PMNs. Apical infection of air-liquid interface (ALI) respiratory epithelial monolayers similarly showed that PLY disrupts AJCs. This epithelial damage promoted PMN transmigration and bacterial apical-to-basolateral translocation, and pharmacologically fortifying epithelial barrier function diminished both barrier breach in vitro and bacteremia in vivo. E-cadherin staining after Sp i.t. inoculation of > 20-month-old mice, or apical infection of ALI monolayers derived from these mice, revealed an age-associated vulnerability to PLY-mediated AJC disruption, which in turn enhanced PMN migration and bacteremia. In addition, we found that PMNs from aged mice secrete increased levels of tissue-damaging NE. Simultaneous pharmacological inhibition of tissue-destructive NE and fortification of pulmonary epithelial barrier function was required to reduce the level of Sp bacteremia in aged mice to that of young mice.

We observed age-dependent accumulation of the isoDGR motif in human lung tissues, as well as an 8-fold increase in isoDGR-damaged proteins in lung fibrotic tissues compared with healthy tissue. This increase was accompanied by marked infiltration of CD68+/CD11b + macrophages, consistent with a role for isoDGR in promoting chronic inflammation. We therefore assessed isoDGR function in mice that were either naturally aged or lacked the isoDGR repair enzyme. IsoDGR-protein accumulation in mouse lung tissue was strongly correlated with chronic inflammation, pulmonary edema, and hypoxemia. This accumulation also induced mitochondrial and ribosomal dysfunction, in addition to features of cellular senescence, thereby contributing to progressive lung damage over time.
