This study identified a long-range excitatory projection from parvalbumin (PV) neurons in the brainstem medial vestibular nucleus (MVN) of mice that monosynaptically innervates the midbrain dorsal tegmental nucleus (DTN). This PV^MVN→DTN projection exhibits high neuronal excitability and synaptic plasticity as electrophysiological traits. In vivo chemogenetic inhibition of the PV^MVN→DTN projection impaired the navigational performance of adult mice. Navigational deficits in aged mice linked to both diminished innervation and synaptic drive of the PV^MVN→DTN pathway were pinpointed as hallmarks of the aging process. Strikingly, targeted activation of this pathway mitigated navigational impairments in older mice. In sum, our results revealed an excitatory PV^MVN→DTN pathway that impacts navigation. Rescue from aging-related navigational decline by activation of a spared projection pathway further highlights the potential for targeted therapies.</p>","PeriodicalId":94150,"journal":{"name":"Nature aging","volume":" ","pages":"1079-1096"},"PeriodicalIF":17.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144176371","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}

Deciphering the complex interplay between aging, the emergence of senescent cells in the liver and MASH fibrosis is critical for developing treatments. Here we report an epigenetic mechanism that links liver aging to MASH fibrosis. We find that upregulation of the chromatin remodeler BAZ2B in a subpopulation of hepatocytes (HEPs) is linked to MASH pathology in patients. Genetic ablation or hepatocyte-specific knockdown of Baz2b in mice attenuates HEP senescence and MASH fibrosis by preserving peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα)-mediated lipid metabolism, which was impaired in both naturally aged and MASH mouse livers. Mechanistically, Baz2b downregulates the expression of genes related to the PPARα signaling pathway by directly binding their promoter regions and reducing chromatin accessibility. Thus, our study unravels the BAZ2B-PPARα-lipid metabolism axis as a link from liver aging to MASH fibrosis, suggesting that BAZ2B is a potential therapeutic target for HEP senescence and fibrosis.</p>","PeriodicalId":94150,"journal":{"name":"Nature aging","volume":" ","pages":"1063-1078"},"PeriodicalIF":17.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144103444","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}

This work uncovered that cell surface presentation of P-selectin (CD62P, encoded by Selp) increases in a large fraction of aging HSCs driven by a proinflammatory milieu in mice. Notably, expression of P-selectin molecularly and functionally dichotomized the aging HSC pool; stem cells presenting with highly abundant P-selectin were hallmarked by aging-associated gene expression programs and reduced repopulation capacity upon regenerative stress. Ectopic expression of Selp in young HSCs was sufficient to impair long-term reconstitution potential and impair erythropoiesis. Mechanistically, we uncovered that P-selectin receptor activation by its primary ligand, P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1, suppressed aging-associated gene expression, and, reversely, lack of P-selectin signaling led to HSC premature aging.

Here, we discuss the latest developments in RNA therapeutics designed to promote healthy aging, including RNA activation, messenger RNA therapy, RNA interference, antisense oligonucleotides, aptamers and CRISPR-Cas-mediated RNA editing. We also review the latest preclinical and clinical studies of RNA technology for treating age-related diseases, including neurodegenerative, cardiovascular and musculoskeletal diseases.
