DNA damage and loss of the central metabolite nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD⁺) may contribute to both aging and COPD, presenting a potential avenue for interventions. In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial, we treated patients with stable COPD (n = 40) with the NAD⁺ precursor nicotinamide riboside (NR) for 6 weeks and followed-up 12 weeks later. The primary outcome was change in sputum interleukin-8 (IL-8) from baseline to week 6. The estimated treatment difference between NR and placebo in IL-8 after 6 weeks was -52.6% (95% confidence interval (CI): -75.7% to -7.6%; P = 0.030). This effect persisted until the follow-up 12 weeks after the end of treatment (-63.7%: 95% CI -85.7% to -7.8%; P = 0.034). For secondary outcomes, NR treatment increased NAD⁺ levels by more than twofold in whole blood, whereas IL-6 levels in plasma remained unchanged. In exploratory analyses, treatment with NR showed indications of upregulated gene pathways related to genomic integrity in the airways and reduced epigenetic aging, possibly through a reduction in cellular senescence. These exploratory analyses need to be confirmed in future trials.

However, the mechanism of reactivation and contribution to aging and age-associated diseases is largely unexplored. In this study, we identified a subclass of ERVs reactivated in senescent cells (termed senescence-associated ERVs (SA-ERVs)). These SA-ERVs can be bidirectional transcriptionally activated by activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3) to generate double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs), which activate the RIG-I/MDA5-MAVS signaling pathway and trigger a type I interferon (IFN-I) response in senescent fibroblasts. Consistently, we found a concerted increased expression of ATF3 and SA-ERVs and enhanced IFN-I response in several tissues of healthy aged individuals and patients with Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome. Moreover, we observed an accumulation of dsRNAs derived from SA-ERVs and higher levels of IFNβ in blood of aged individuals. Together, these results reveal a previously unknown mechanism for reactivation of SA-ERVs by ATF3 and illustrate SA-ERVs as an important component and hallmark of aging.</p>","PeriodicalId":94150,"journal":{"name":"Nature aging","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":17.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142634969","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To date, small sample sizes and narrow molecular profiling have limited the generalizability of findings. In this study, we profiled multiple cortical and subcortical regions in postmortem brains of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and controls with matched pulmonary pathology (total n = 42) using spatial transcriptomics, bulk gene expression and proteomics. We observed a multi-regional antiviral response without direct active SARS-CoV2 infection. We identified dysregulation of mitochondrial and synaptic pathways in deep-layer excitatory neurons and upregulation of neuroinflammation in glia, consistent across both mRNA and protein. Remarkably, these alterations overlapped substantially with changes in age-related neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease. Our work, combining multiple experimental and analytical methods, demonstrates the brain-wide impact of severe acute/subacute COVID-19, involving both cortical and subcortical regions, shedding light on potential therapeutic targets within pathways typically associated with pathological aging and neurodegeneration. Zhang et al. performed a multi-regional multi-omics study, identifying brain-wide mitochondrial and synaptic defects in neurons and glial inflammation as key mechanisms underlying central nervous system impairment in COVID-19, potentially triggering neurodegeneration.","PeriodicalId":94150,"journal":{"name":"Nature aging","volume":"4 11","pages":"1598-1618"},"PeriodicalIF":17.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142634973","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Blood-based biomarkers promise to reduce the need for PET or CSF testing; however, their interpretation at the individual level and the circumstances requiring confirmatory testing are poorly understood. Individual-level interpretation of diagnostic test results requires knowledge of disease prevalence in relation to clinical presentation (clinical pretest probability). Here, in a study of 6,896 individuals evaluated from 11 cohort studies from six countries, we determined the positive and negative predictive value of five plasma biomarkers for amyloid-β pathology in cognitively impaired individuals in relation to clinical pretest probability. We observed that p-tau217 could rule in amyloid-β pathology in individuals with probable AD dementia (positive predictive value above 95%). In mild cognitive impairment, p-tau217 interpretation depended on patient age. Negative p-tau217 results could rule out amyloid-β pathology in individuals with non-AD dementia syndromes (negative predictive value between 90% and 99%). Our findings provide a framework for the individual-level interpretation of plasma biomarkers, suggesting that p-tau217 combined with clinical phenotyping can identify patients where amyloid-β pathology can be ruled in or out without the need for PET or CSF confirmatory testing. Therriault et al. provide a framework for the individual-level interpretation of plasma biomarkers by determining their positive and negative predictive values for amyloid positron emission tomography status in relation to patient age and clinical symptoms.","PeriodicalId":94150,"journal":{"name":"Nature aging","volume":"4 11","pages":"1529-1537"},"PeriodicalIF":17.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s43587-024-00731-y.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142635093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Follow-up visits are scheduled every 2 years for a total of 25 years. We devised machine learning models of chronological age and computed biological aging scores that represented diverse physiological systems, revealing different aging patterns among sexes. Higher BA scores were associated with a higher prevalence of age-related medical conditions, highlighting the clinical relevance of these scores. Our analysis revealed system-specific aging dynamics and the potential of deeply phenotyped cohorts to accelerate improvements in our understanding of chronic diseases. Our findings present a more holistic view of the aging process, and lay the foundation for personalized medical prevention strategies.
