Impaired signaling in senescing T cells: investigation of the role of reactive oxygen species using microfluidic platforms and computational modeling

Rivet, Catherine-Aurélie 21 June 2012 (has links)
The goal of cancer immunotherapies is to boost the immune system's ability to detect tumor antigens and mount an effective anti-tumor immune response. Currently, adoptive T cell transfer therapy (ACT), the administration of ex vivo expanded autologous tumor-specific T cells, is one of the most promising immunotherapies under development; however, its efficacy has been limited so far with a mere 10% complete remission rate in the most successful clinical trials. The prolonged ex vivo culture process is a potential reason for this ineffectiveness because the transfused cells may reach replicative senescence and immunosenescence prior to patient transfer. The objective of this thesis is to offer two approaches towards an improvement of treatment efficacy. First, we generated a 'senescence metric' from the identification of biomarkers that can be used in the clinic towards predicting age and responsiveness of ex vivo expanded T cells. The second approach is to understand at the molecular level the changes that occur during ex vivo expansion to devise improved ACT protocols. In particular, we focused on the shift towards a pro-oxidizing environment and its potential effects on calcium signaling. The combined development and application of microfluidic technologies and computational models in this thesis facilitated our investigations of the phenotypic and signaling changes occurring in T cells during the progression towards immunosenescence. Our findings of altered T cell properties over long term culture provide insight for the design of future cancer immunotherapy protocols.

Os objetivos deste trabalho foram: testar o efeito da 6-benzilaminopurina na solução de condicionamento e por aspersão na pós-colheita de antúrios (Anthurium andraeanum) cv. Apalai (IAC NK 130), avaliando a durabilidade, a variação do peso fresco, o teor de carboidratos solúveis, o teor de compostos fenólicos totais e a atividade da enzima polifenol oxidase; e avaliar o efeito das soluções de hidratação e condicionamento, do uso de espuma floral, da aplicação de tiossulfato de prata seguida da aplicação de etileno e do produto comercial Fresco® na vida de vaso de quatro variedades de Curcuma alismatifolia. O uso de 6-benzilaminopurina (BAP) na pós-colheita de antúrios foi benéfico quando aplicado por meio de aspersão, quando este regulador de crescimento foi adicionado à solução de condicionamento houve redução da vida de vaso de 17,9 para 13,8 dias, respectivamente; e também proporcionou melhor manutenção do peso fresco inicial, 93 % e 76 % respectivamente. Observou-se maior concentração de carboidratos solúveis na espata de hastes tratadas com menos de 150 mg L-1 de BAP. O teor de compostos fenólicos totais foi maior nas hastes submetidas a solução de condicionamento do que as que receberam BAP por meio de aspersão. Portanto, recomenda-se o uso de BAP por aspersão para aumentar a durabilidade de antúrios cv. Apalai. O experimento com as hastes de cúrcuma mostrou que esta espécie não responde positivamente aos tratamentos pós-colheita mais comuns e assim recomenda-se manter as flores em água deionizada. O uso de espuma floral tem efeito negativo na vida de vaso de hastes de cúrcuma

Autophagy and Hematopoietic Stem Cell Potential During Aging

Dellorusso, Paul Vincent January 2022 (has links)
Aging of the hematopoietic system promotes various immune and systemic disorders and is driven in-part by dysfunction of life-long self-renewing hematopoietic stem cells (HSC). Autophagy is required for the benefit associated with activation of conserved longevity signaling programs and is essential for HSC function in response to various stressors. With age, some HSCs basally increase autophagy flux and maintain inert metabolic activity. This autophagy-activated subset is responsible for the residual regenerative capacity of old stem cells, but the mechanisms promoting autophagy activation in HSC aging remain unknown. Here, we demonstrate that autophagy is a response to chronic inflammation in the aging HSC niche. Chronic inflammation impairs glucose metabolism in young and old HSCs (oHSC) by impeding AKT-FOXO intracellular signaling networks. We find that autophagy enables metabolic adaptation of oHSCs to non-glucose energy substrates for functional maintenance. Notably, water-only fasting transiently further activates autophagy in oHSCs, and upon refeeding normalizes glucose uptake and glycolytic flux as well as regenerative output. Our results demonstrate that inflammation-driven glucose hypometabolism impairs oHSC regenerative capacity, that autophagy activation metabolically adapts oHSCs to an inflamed niche, and that autophagy is a modulable node to restore glycolytic and regenerative capacity during stem cell aging.

The effects of aging and transformation on the DNA, RNA, protein, and hydroxyproline content of fibroblasts (WI 38) in culture

Eichner, James Michael 01 January 1973 (has links) (PDF)
The study of the aging process is the investigation as to how the passage of time affects cells, organs, and organisms. Aging is a very complex and incompletely understood phenomenon. This is reflected by the number of theories attributing aging to a variety of causative factors such as: (1) the somatic mutations occurring spontaneously or produced by ionizing radiation, which are thought to have some effect on again but are not responsible for the normal process; (2) the alteration of macromolecules as the cells of an organism age forming neoantigens and functioning in the autoimmune reactions; the Cross-linkage theory which maintains that large molecules necessary for life processes, such as deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and collagen are progressively immobilized in all cells and tissues by cross-linkage. Aging has also been studied in relation to the self-destructive “programmed death” characteristic of some parts of embryological development. Moreover, senescent changes involve different kinds of cells and tissues in the organism and therefore various mechanisms must occur. For example, the aging of postmitotic cells, such as neurons and cardiac cells probably proceeds by a different mechanism than the proliferating tissues, such as the skin, the gut lining, and the blood forming elements. It is apparent that there is probably no single aging process, but a series of aging processes which natural selection would tend to synchronize even if the causes were physiologically independent.
