Disrupted HSF1 regulation in normal and exceptional brain aging.
Biogerontology 2023 September 15
Brain aging is a major risk factor for cognitive diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) and vascular dementia. The rate of aging and age-related pathology are modulated by stress responses and repair pathways that gradually decline with age. However, recent reports indicate that exceptional longevity sustains and may even enhance the stress response. Whether normal and exceptional aging result in either attenuated or enhanced stress responses across all organs is unknown. This question arises from our understanding that biological age differs from chronological age and evidence that the rate of aging varies between organs. Thus, stress responses may differ between organs and depend upon regenerative capacity and ability to manage damaged proteins and proteotoxicity. To answer these questions, we assessed age-dependent changes in brain stress responses with normally aged wild type and long-lived Dwarf mice. Results from this study show that normal aging unfavorably impacts activation of the brain heat shock (HS) axis with key changes noted in the transcription factor, HSF1, and its regulation. Exceptional aging appears to preserve and strengthen many elements of HSF1 activation in the brain. These results support the possibility that reconstitution of aging brain stress responses requires a multi-factorial approach that addresses HSF1 protein levels, its DNA binding, and regulatory elements such as phosphorylation and protein interactions.
