1. Supplement 12-1 What is the Relationship Between Replicative Cell Senescence & Functional Tissue Senescence. Addition to Biology of Aging 3e by Robert Arking

2. Relationship between stress & telomeres? von Ziglincki psychological stress alters telomere length Relationship between telomere length/replicative senescence, cell function & tissue senescence? heart skin other tissues

4. Psychological Stress Induces Oxidative Stress & Shortens Telomeres Perceived Stress Makes You Age! This, when combined with data from glucocorticoid studies, provides the mechanistic basis for the findings of the MIDUS twin study Epel et al., PNAS 101: 17312, 2005

5. Senescence of the Heart is Related to Changes in Cell Demographics Brought About By Changes in Stem Cell Activity

8. Cardiac Stem Cells and Aging: mtOxDam in Cardiac Myocytes with Normal (WT) and Elevated (TG) Levels of IGF-1 Rep Hyp Die Rep Hyp Die Torella et al., Circulation Res. 94:514, 2004

9. Torella et al., Circulation Res. 94:514, 2004 Cell Senescence Markers Increase in WT but not in TG myocytes Telomere lengths decrease significantly more in WT than in TG myocytes

10. Note difference in growth kinetics & the functional effects of these different growth strategies. Deaths >>Births Function Lost Deaths = Births Function Kept TG mice with elevated IGF-1 Have Larger Numbers of Functional Cardiac Stem Cells, & Their Demographic Balance Keeps Their Heart Functional Longer Than in WT Torella et al., Circulation Res. 94:514, 2004

11. Summary of the Data Is there a contradiction between these effects of elevated IGF 1 effects on the heart & the effects of decreased IGF 1 on longevity?

12. Note that localized high levels of IGF-1 also maintain regenerative capacity in skeletal muscle

13. ROS Limits the Lifespan of Hematopoetic Cells in vivo HSC treated in vitro with a GSH depleter (BSO) have dose-dependent increases in ROS levels This treatment has no effect on HSC’s ability to form colonies in vitro within 1 week after treatment This treatment has an obvious effect on the HSC’s ability to form colonies in vivo 16 wks after being injected into a mouse. Ito et al., Nature Medicine 12:445, 2006

14. One way to interpret the data of the prior slide is to make the reasonable assumption that the depletion of GSH brought about by BSO pre-treatment causes oxidative damage to the telomeres. The damaged telomeres adversely affect the replicative potential of the HSC population. The damaged cells cannot effectively replicate in an otherwise permissive environment.

24. Histone Modification Telomeres Yields Epigenetic Regulation of Cell Cycle These complexes of altered histones and bound telomere binding proteins yield distinctive chromatin structures which can be detected by antibody staining. This allows one to determine the telomeric status of treated and control cells.

30. Modified HSE protocol. Took dermal fibroblasts from culture with or without pTERT, and assayed their contribution to the phenotype of reconstituted skin. • Dissociated keratinocytes were mixed with aged and treated fibroblasts in culture chambers on nude mice. • Questions being asked: • Does telomerase treatment affect fibroblast function? • 2. Does skin structure and function correlate with functional state of fibroblasts?

32. FINE STRUCTURE IS RELATED TO FIBROBLAST CELL STATE? Note that skin reconstituted with young passage fibroblasts (upper fig.) and fibroblasts expressing a telomerase transgene (lower fig.) both show hemidesmosomes linked into intermediate filaments within the epidermis are positioned directly across from regions containing collagen filaments (arrows). Also note there was no EM photo of skin reconstituted with old passage fibroblasts, although the implication of the article is that the properties of young skin are associated with fibroblast cells expressing telomerase and certain patterns of gene expression.
