Antifragility and antiinflammaging: Can they play a role for a healthy longevity?

Fabiola Olivieri, Francesco Prattichizzo, Fabrizia Lattanzio, Anna Rita Bonfigli, Liana Spazzafumo

Summary: One of the challenges in aging research is to understand how genetics and environmental factors interact to determine the chances of reaching extreme human lifespan in good health. Epigenetic mechanisms provide an explanation for this interaction and the long-term effects of lifestyle on aging. The theory of inflammaging suggests that chronic low-grade inflammation plays a crucial role in age-related diseases and mortality. Studies on centenarians have shown that healthy individuals can upregulate anti-inflammatory responses to cope with inflammaging. Genetic factors and the ability to remodel metabolic pathways are also important for healthy aging. The concept of antifragility, which refers to the ability of complex systems to perform better under stress, may provide insights into the heterogeneous nature of the aging process and its relationship with inflammation.

Extracellular Vesicles from Campylobacter jejuni CDT-Treated Caco-2 Cells Inhibit Proliferation of Tumour Intestinal Caco-2 Cells and Myeloid U937 Cells: Detailing the Global Cell Response for Potential Application in Anti-Tumour Strategies

Mariele Montanari, Michele Guescini, Ozan Gundogdu, Francesca Luchetti, Paola Lanuti, Caterina Ciacci, Sabrina Burattini, Raffaella Campana, Claudio Ortolani, Stefano Papa, Barbara Canonico

Summary: Cytolethal distending toxin (CDT) is an important virulence factor produced by Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria. It targets the endo-lysosomal compartment and exploits unconventional secretion (EV release) to cause cell cycle arrest and cell death. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) play crucial roles in cellular communication and can also spread molecules during infections to alter immune responses.

Replicative Senescence-Associated LINE1 Methylation and LINE1-Alu Expression Levels in Human Endothelial Cells

Deborah Ramini, Silvia Latini, Angelica Giuliani, Giulia Matacchione, Jacopo Sabbatinelli, Emanuela Mensa, Maria Giulia Bacalini, Paolo Garagnani, Maria Rita Rippo, Giuseppe Bronte, Massimiliano Bonafe, Maurizio Cardelli, Fabiola Olivieri

Summary: One of the main challenges in aging research is to understand the complex epigenetic mechanisms involved in cellular senescence. This study found that changes in DNA methylation, specifically in transposable element (TE) sequences, are associated with replicative senescence in fibroblasts. The study also showed that the RNA expression of Alu and L1 sequences, as well as the amount of TE DNA copies, were significantly increased in senescent cells. These findings suggest that TEs may play a role in the acquisition of the senescent phenotype.

Genome-Wide Methylation Changes Associated with Replicative Senescence and Differentiation in Endothelial and Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stromal Cells

Summary: Bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs) have the ability to self-renew and differentiate into adipocytes and osteoblasts, but the role of DNA methylation in their function and replicative senescence is still unclear. A genome-wide DNA methylation analysis revealed genome-wide hypomethylation and overlapping differentially methylated positions (DMPs) in replicative senescent BMSCs and HUVECs. Pathway analysis identified common pathways associated with senescence, insulin resistance, molecule adhesion, and Wnt/beta-catenin signaling. This study provides valuable insights into the mechanisms of replicative senescence and BMSC differentiation.

Summary: In this study, plant-derived nanovesicles were isolated from tomato fruits and separated into twelve fractions using density gradient ultracentrifugation. The middle and low-density fractions exhibited significant anti-inflammatory effects, and curcumin loading enhanced the basal anti-inflammatory activity of tomato PDNVs.

A Data-Mining Approach to Identify NF-kB-Responsive microRNAs in Tissues Involved in Inflammatory Processes: Potential Relevance in Age-Related Diseases

Luigina Micolucci, Giulia Matacchione, Maria Cristina Albertini, Massimo Marra, Deborah Ramini, Angelica Giuliani, Jacopo Sabbatinelli, Antonio Domenico Procopio, Fabiola Olivieri, Annalisa Marsico, Vladia Monsurro

Summary: The nuclear factor NF-kB plays a key role in inflammation by regulating the expression of pro-inflammatory genes. It also has the ability to activate non-coding RNA, such as miRNAs, which further modulate gene expression. In this study, we predicted miRNA promoters using in silico analysis and identified 68 mature miRNAs with potential NF-kB binding sites in their transcription start site. These miRNAs have previously been associated with inflammation and age-related diseases. The results suggest that persistent activation of NF-kB may disrupt the transcription of specific inflammation-related miRNAs, providing potential diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic targets for common inflammatory and age-related diseases.

Sex/gender-related differences in inflammaging

Fabiola Olivieri, Francesca Marchegiani, Giulia Matacchione, Angelica Giuliani, Deborah Ramini, Francesca Fazioli, Jacopo Sabbatinelli, Massimiliano Bonafe

Summary: Geroscience regards aging as a key factor in age-related diseases, emphasizing the need to address the basic mechanisms of aging rather than individual disease pathophysiology. Women have higher life expectancy despite greater functional impairment, necessitating a study of gender-related differences in multimorbidity and disability-free life expectancy. Inflammaging, the intersection of aging and age-related diseases, plays a significant role, with sex/gender differences impacting biomarkers and severe outcomes of COVID-19.

Effect of Sphingomyelinase-Treated LDLs on HUVECs

Summary: Low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) play a crucial role in transporting cholesterol to tissues and their oxidative modification is a major risk factor for atherogenesis. This study aimed to investigate the effect of sphingomyelinase (SMase) treatment on LDL properties and its impact on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). The results showed that both ox-LDLs and SMase-LDLs increased intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and upregulated the antioxidant enzyme Paraoxonase 2 (PON2). However, only SMase-LDLs induced the activation of the feedback loop enzyme superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2) to counteract the detrimental effects of ROS. Furthermore, SMase-LDLs had a stronger pro-apoptotic and proinflammatory effect on HUVECs compared to ox-LDLs.

Summary: Aging is associated with inflammaging, a low-grade and sterile inflammation that is recognized as the main risk factor for age-related diseases. In this study, an Asian-native Ginger extract was found to have anti-senescence and anti-inflammatory properties on human endothelial cells and murine microglial cells, suggesting its potential relevance in delaying age-related diseases.

Autonomic nervous system imbalance during aging contributes to impair endogenous anti-inflammaging strategies

Sergio Giunta, Shijin Xia, Giuseppe Pelliccioni, Fabiola Olivieri

Summary: Inflammaging refers to a chronic proinflammatory state that is associated with age-related diseases. While the focus has been on proinflammatory stimuli, the role of endogenous anti-inflammaging mechanisms has been overlooked. Imbalances in the autonomic nervous system and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis contribute to inflammaging, while the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway plays a role in reducing inflammation. These mechanisms become less effective in older individuals, contributing to inflammaging.

The prognostic effects of circulating myeloid-derived suppressor cells in non-small cell lung cancer: systematic review and meta-analysis

Giuseppe Bronte, Luana Calabro, Fabiola Olivieri, Antonio Domenico Procopio, Lucio Crino

Summary: Immunotherapy is the main standard treatment for NSCLC patients. However, immune suppressive cells in the tumor microenvironment can counteract its efficacy. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to compare the prognosis between NSCLC patients with high and low levels of circulating MDSCs. The findings suggest that low levels of circulating MDSCs are associated with better progression-free survival (PFS)/recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS). Specifically, high levels of monocytic MDSCs (M-MDSCs) in peripheral blood are linked to a worse prognosis in NSCLC patients. Targeting this MDSC subset may help improve the efficacy of NSCLC treatment.
