Abstract
Aging is characterized by a progressive decline in the function of adult tissues which can lead to neurodegenerative disorders. However, little is known about the correlation between protein changes in the subventricular zone (SVZ) and neurodegenerative diseases with age. In the present study, neural stem cells (NSCs) were derived from the SVZ on postnatal 7 d, 1 m, and 12 m-old mice. With age, NSCs exhibited increased SA-β-gal activity and decreased proliferation and pool size in the SVZ zone, and were associated with elevated inflammatory chemokines and cytokines. Furthermore, quantitative proteomics and ingenuity pathway analysis were used to evaluate the significant age-related alterations in proteins and their functions. Some downregulated proteins such as DPYSL2, TPI1, ALDH, and UCHL1 were found to play critical roles in the neurological disease and PSMA1, PSMA3, PSMC2, PSMD11, and UCHL1 in protein homeostasis. Taken together, we have provided valuable insight into the cellular and molecular processes that underlie aging-associated declines in SVZ neurogenesis for the early detection of differences in gene expression and the potential risk of neurological disease, which is beneficial in the prevention of the diseases.

Introduction
Aging is a process characterized by the progressive decline in the physiology and function of adult tissues1,2. Studies have shown that the neurogenesis declined rapidly in the human brain with increased age. As a result, the elderly individuals exhibit deteriorated cognitive function3 and are largely susceptibility to neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases4. This may be attributed to the degeneration of self-renewal and multi-differentiation potential of neural stem cells (NSCs) associated with NSC aging5.
Adult NSCs reside in the subgranular zone (SGZ) of the hippocampal dentate gyrus and the subventricular zone (SVZ) of the lateral ventricle6,7. Adult NSCs serve as the nascent fountain critical for brain homeostasis. However, the number of NSCs significantly decreases with age, correlating with a functional decline and a gradual loss of olfactory function8,9. When NSCs are inclined towards aging, some aging-related neurodegenerative diseases begin to occur10. The pathological process in Parkinson’s disease (PD) involves the degeneration of the dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta, which leads to a decrease in the striatal dopamine levels and also causes movement disorder11. SVZ is localized in the proximity of the striatum. The endogenous NSCs in the SVZ can migrate into the striatum and differentiate into dopaminergic neurons. With age, the proliferation of endogenous NSCs is decreased, and hence, the number of dopaminergic neurons in the striatum is reduced12.
Accumulating evidence showed that the Alzheimer’s disease (AD) influences the SVZ cell proliferation13. A recent study indicated a significant nine-fold decrease of Musashi 1-positive progenitor cells in the SVZ of patients with Alzheimer’s disease14. The neurogenic capacity of the SVZ is the only source of long-term self-renewable and multipotent NSCs in the adult rodent brain, and thus, is crucial for AD. On the other hand, the SGZ contains only independent neuronal and glial progenitors with limited self-renewal capacity. Therefore, it has been proposed that SVZ NSCs could migrate into the hippocampus, acting as a source of NPCs for the SGZ15.
Hitherto, a proteomic study correlating the age-dependent NSC alterations and neurodegenerative diseases is not reported. Therefore, a proteomic analysis would be beneficial for the early detection of the differences in the gene expression and the potential risk of illness, thereby, preventing the neurodegenerative diseases.
A recent study demonstrated that impairment of neurogenesis in the SGZ begins at 9 m in male 3 Tg-AD mice16, whereas the SVZ impairment begins as early as 2–3 m17. Moreover, the SVZ NSCs reside within the walls of the lateral ventricle. These NSCs from the sequestered parts of the human brain can be endoscopically harvested, expanded in vitro, and differentiated into both neuronal and glial progenitors. Thus, the SVZ was selected for the present study.
Herein, we utilized the quantitative proteomic analysis to generate protein expression profiles of the SVZ from the mice at various ages. A comparison of the protein profiles of these groups revealed a number of differentially expressed proteins that are known to play critical roles in the protein homeostasis and neurodegenerative diseases. This information may provide valuable insight into the cellular and molecular processes underlying the aging-associated decline in SVZ neurogenesis.
Material and Methods
The animal experiment was approved and conducted according to the regulations set by the Animal Use and Care Committee of Tongji University. And all experiments were carried out in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Neurosphere culture
Primary NSC culture was derived from postnatal day 7(7d), one month (1 m) and 12 month (12 m) mice. All mice were housed according to Animal care and all experiment procedures approved by the Animal Committee of the school (TJmed-010-10) and the protocol was approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee of the Tongji University (Shanghai, China). The SVZ was isolated and enzymatically dissociated in Hank’s balanced saline solution buffer (HBSS) (Invitrogen, USA) containing 1 mg/ml trypsin (Invitrogen) at 37 °C for 10 minutes followed by 5 min centrifugation at 350 g upon trypsin inhibition (Invitrogen). The isolated cells were washed with HBSS and resuspended in DMEM/F12 medium (Invitrogen) with 2% B27 (Invitrogen), 20 ng/ml EGF (R&D Systems, USA), 20 ng/ml bFGF (R&D Systems), 2 mM glutamax (Invitrogen). Neurospheres formed over 3 days of incubation with 5% CO2 at 37 °C. Subculturing was done every 3–4 days. Experiments were performed with cultured cells between passages 3 and 7.
Senescence-associated-β-galactosidase assay
Cellular senescence was determined by SA-β-gal staining18. Staining was performed using SA-β-gal staining Kit (Genmed Scientifics INC) according to manufacturer’s guidelines with DAPI as counterstaining. Positive staining was evaluated after 12–16 hr incubation at 37 °C in a CO2-free atmosphere. The blue stained cells from 10 different fields were counted with results presented as a percentage of positive cells.
Cell proliferation assays
After trypsinizing neurospheres, single cell suspensions were prepared in DMEM/F12 medium containing EGF and bFGF, and were seeded into 96-well plates (Corning Incorporated, USA) at a density of 103 cells per ml. After 7-days, colonies of a diameter >30 μm were scored.
Immunocytochemistry
Cells grown on coverslips were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 15 min at room temperature, permeabilized with 0.3% Triton X-100 in PBS for 10 min, and blocked in 3% normal donkey serum in PBS for 2 h at room temperature. Primary antibodies were diluted in 3% normal donkey serum in PBS and applied at 4 °C overnight. The primary antibodies used in these experiments were as follow: Nestin (Abcam; 1:3000), Sox2 (Santa Cruz; 1:500), after rinsing in PBS three times and incubating for 2 h with CF488 and CF543 (Biotium; 1:1000), coverslips were washed three times, cell nuclei were stained with DAPI. Images were acquired on a Leica TCS SP2 confocal fluorescence microscope.
Immunohistochemistry
Mice were anesthetized and cardiac perfused through the heart with 4% paraformaldehyde. Brains were dissected out, post-fixed and stored in 30% sucrose. Brains were frozen in Tissue-Tek optimal cutting temperature compound (O.C.T.) (VWR, Richmond, IL) and coronally sectioned at a 25 μm interval. Tissue sections were blocked with 3% normal donkey serum (NDS, Jackson) in PBS for 30 minutes and then incubated with Nestin (Abcam; 1:3000) at 4 °C overnight followed by CF488 (Biotium; 1:1000) for 1 hour. DAPI was used as counter staining. Images were acquired and analyzed on a Leica TCS SP2 confocal fluorescence microscope.
Quantitative RT-PCR
For QRT-PCR, total RNA was reverse-transcribed using SuperScript III (Invitrogen). All reactions were performed using SYBR® Green PCR Core reagents (Applied Biosystems). Primers were designed using Primer Express software (Applied Biosystems) and experimentally validated. The sequences for primers used are as follows: GAPDH 5′ GGTGAAGGTCGGTGTGAACG-3′, 5′ CTCGCTCCTGGAAGATGGTG-3′; PSMD11 5′GAGCCCAGTCTCTACTCAGCA-3′, 5′TCTTGAATGTCACGTTTCACGAT-3′; ALDH2 5′GAAATGTCTCCGCTATTACGCT-3′, 5′GCGGGAAGTTCCACGGAAT-3′; TPI1 5′ GAGAGAGCCGTGCGTTTGTA-3′, 5′ CCCCAACGAAGAACTTCCTGG-3′. The expression of each gene was defined from the threshold cycle (Ct), and relative expression levels were calculated by using the ∆∆CT method after normalization with reference to expression of the housekeeping gene GAPDH. Results are means from three individual experiments.
Western blot analysis
Cultured NSCs were washed with ice-cold PBS, lysed with 2 × SDS lysis buffer. Protein concentrations were determined by the BCA protein assay kit (Pierce). Proteins were separated on 8% SDS-polyacrylamide gels (Bio-rad) and transferred to a PVDF membrane (Millipore). Membranes were blocked in 5% non-fat milk powder in TBS-T (0.1% Tween-20 in TBS), and incubated with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. After washed in TBS-T, membranes were incubated with HRP conjugated secondary antibodies (Invitrogen) for 1 h at room temperature with signals detected using ECL Super Signal (Pierce, Rockford, IL, USA). Quantifications were done using ImageQuant. The primary antibodies used include rabbit anti-PSMD11 (Abcam) and mouse anti-βactin (Sigma).
Multiplex quantification of cytokines and chemokine
Concentrations of cytokine/chemokine in 7d, 1 m and 12 m were NSCs were quantified using Bio-plex proTM mouse cytokine 23-plex assay kits (Bio-Rad #M60009RDPD). This kit detects the following concentrations of 23 analytes simultaneously in a single sample: Eotaxin (CCL11), G-CSF, GM-CSF, IFN-γ, KC, MCP-1(MCAF), MIP-1α, MIP-1β, RANTES, IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-3, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-9, IL-10, IL-12 p40, IL-12 p70, IL-13, IL-17A and TNF-α. Prepared plates were run on the Bio-Plex 200 System with the High Throughput Fluidics (HTF) Multiplex Array System (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA). Results were normalized to the amount of protein per well, as determined using a Bio-Rad DC protein assay.
Protein separation by 1D SDS-PAGE and proteomics analysis
For proteomics analysis, proteins from 7d, 1 m and 12 m groups were processed as previously described19. Equal amount of proteins from untreated- and treated-samples (about 60 μg) were separated by 1D SDS-PAGE, respectively. The gel bands of interest were excised from the gel, reduced with 25 mM of DTT and alkylated with 55 mM iodoacetamide. In gel digestion was then carried out with sequencing grade modified trypsin in 50 mM disodium hydrogen phosphate at 37 °C overnight. The peptides were extracted twice with 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid in 50% acetonitrile aqueous solution for 30 min. Extracts were then centrifuged in a speedvac to reduce the volume.
Peptides from different samples were labeled with tandem mass tags (TMT) reagents (Thermo, Pierce Biotechnology) according to the manufacturer’s instruction. Briefly, the TMT label reagents were dissolved by anhydrous acetonitrile and carefully added to each digestion products. The reaction was performed for 1 h at room temperature, and hydroxylamine was used to quench the reaction. The TMT-labeled peptides were desalted using the stage tips.
For LC-MS/MS analysis, the digestion product was separated by a 65 min gradient elution at a flow rate 0.250 ml/min with an EASY-nLCIITM integrated nano-HPLC system (Proxeon, Denmark) which was directly interfaced with a Thermo Orbitrap Q Executive mass spectrometer. The analytical column was a homemade fused silica capillary column (75 mm ID, 150 mm length; Upchurch, Oak Harbor, WA) packed with C-18 resin (300 Å, 5 mm, Varian, Lexington, MA). Mobile phase A consisted of 0.1% formic acid, and mobile phase B consisted of 100% acetonitrile and 0.1% formic acid. The Q Exactive mass spectrometer was operated in the data-dependent acquisition mode using Xcalibur 2.1.2 software and there was a single full-scan mass spectrum in the orbitrap (400–1800 m/z, 60,000 resolution) followed by 10 data-dependent MS/MS scans at 27% normalized collision energy (HCD). The MS/MS spectra from each LC-MS/MS run were searched against the selected database using an in house Proteome Discoverer searching algorithm.
The MS/MS spectra from each LC-MS/MS run were searched against the selected database (IPI human v3.84) using an in-house Proteome Discoverer 1.3 software (Thermo, USA). The search criteria were as follows: full tryptic specificity was required; one missed cleavage was allowed; carbamidomethylation (C) and TMT sixplex (K and N-terminal) were set as the fixed modifications; the oxidation (M) was set as the variable modification; precursor ion mass tolerances were set at 10 ppm for all MS acquired in an orbitrap mass analyzer; and the fragment ion mass tolerance was set at 20 mmu for all MS2 spectra acquired. Relative protein quantification was also performed using Proteome Discoverer software (version 1.3) according to manufacturer’s instructions on the six reporter ion intensities per peptide. Quantitative precision was expressed as protein ratio variability. Differentially expressed proteins were further confirmed by QRT-PCR or western blotting.
Protein pathway analysis
GO annotation of the identified proteins was done using DAVID (V6.7: http://david.abcc.ncifcrf.gov). Differentially expressed proteins were analyzed using IPA (Ingenuity Systems: http:// www. ingenuity. com). The over-represented biological functions, molecular networks, and canonical pathways were generated based on information in the Ingenuity Pathways Knowledge Base.
Statistical analysis
Data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA and post-hoc comparison tests, with significance measured at *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01.
Results
Establishment and characterization of primary NSC culture from different aged mice
NSCs from the SVZ of postnatal 7 d mice were grown in the presence of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) to form neurospheres in vitro (Fig. 1A). During subculture, the NSC from SVZ of 7 d, 1 m, and 12 m retained their stem cell characteristics and stained positively for Nestin and SOX2 (Fig. 1B).
Changes of NSC pools in the SVZ from different aged mice
The in vivo age-related alterations of NSC pools in the SVZ were examined in the current study. Brains from 7 d, 1 m, and 12 m mice were stained with the anti-Nestin antibody (Fig. 2A). The results show that the width of the neurogenic area of SVZ is reduced with age (Fig. 2B).
Neural stem cells show cellular senescence with age
To determine the proliferative capacity of isolated 7 d, 1 m, 12 m NSCs, neurosphere formation assays were carried out (Fig. 3A). The results revealed that the ratio of neurosphere formation decreased with increasing age (Fig. 3B). Next, we performed senescence-associated- β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal) assay to confirm that the NSCs aged with increasing age of the animal (Fig. 3C). The percentage of SA-β-gal- positive NSCs increased from 6.12% in 7 d to 54.31% in 12 m (Fig. 3D).
Changes in secretome profiling of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines
By using a Bio-rad Bio-plex pro mouse cytokine 23-plex assay kit, we characterized the changes in the expression levels of some important chemokines and cytokines released from the SVZ NSCs in 7 d, 1 m, and 12 m mice. The data revealed that a subset of molecules, such as IL-6, G-CSF, MCP-1, MIP-1a, and RANTES showed a distinct increase in expression with age. The secreted IL-6 was 18-fold from 12 m NSCs (275.96 pg/mL) compared with 7 d cells (15.3 pg/mL). The secreted MIP-1a was 5-fold from 12 m NSCs (2110.15 pg/mL) compared with 7 d cells (397.95 pg/mL). The secretion of G-CSF is elevated to nearly 5-fold (from 417.49 pg/mL to 1943.53 pg/mL). The secretion of Mcp-1 was 3-fold from 12 m NSCs (6000 pg/mL) compared with 7 d cells (1870.48 pg/mL). The secreted RANTES was 2.5-fold from 12 m NSCs (355.15 pg/mL) compared with 7 d cells (140.98 pg/mL). The data suggested that these inflammatory cytokines and chemokines may play a vital role in the aging process (Fig. 4).
Proteomic analysis unravels major molecular pathways related to NSC aging
In order to explore the mechanisms underlying the NSC aging-related functional declines, we utilized quantitative proteomic analysis to identify the key proteins and pathways derived from neural stem cells from SVZ of 7 d, 1 m, and 12 m aged mice. Our analysis predicted 1170 distinct proteins. With a 1.5-fold cutoff, 39 proteins underwent a decline in the expression level with age while 8 proteins showed an elevation in the expression level.
Subsequently, we performed bioinformatics analysis on the differentially expressed proteins using the DAVID bioinformatics tool. The majority of the differentially expressed proteins were located in the extracellular region (32%), the mitochondrion (27%), and the endoplasmic reticulum (17%) (Fig. 5A). Functionally these genes were mainly associated with the neurological disease, nucleic acid metabolism, cellular assembly and organization, molecular transport, and small molecule biochemistry (Fig. 5B). The main 5 canonical pathways highly influenced were related to glycolysis, fatty acid metabolism, propanoate metabolism, protein ubiquitination pathway, and valine, leucine, and isoleucine degradation (Fig. 5C).
Next, we used the Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) pathway to identify major cellular functional networks altered in age-associated NSCs. 24 proteins were involved in the top-hit network, with the highest score of 63. Functionally, these proteins were mainly associated with neurological disease, lipid metabolism, and small molecule biochemistry. Importantly, the downregulated expression patterns of these proteins are highly correlated with the loss of proteostasis and neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases. For example, the proteasome subunit alpha type-1 (PSMA1), proteasome subunit alpha type-3 (PSMA3), PSMC2, PSMD11, and UCHL1 were decreased with age, which was consistent with the loss of proteostasis and NSC senescence. On the other hand, TPI1, ALDH2, DPYSL2, and ApoE were decreased with age, consistent with the involvement in the neurodegeneration processes (Fig. 6A).
Furthermore, we validated the proteomic data by a qRT-PCR and Western blot. As shown in Fig. 6C,D, the relative expression levels of PSMD11, TPI1, and ALDH2 mRNA were decreased, according to qRT-PCR (Fig. 6B–D) while that of PSMD11 was decreased as confirmed by Western blot. These results were in complete agreement with the quantitative proteomic results (Fig. 6E).
Discussion
In the present study, we have shown that the width of the SVZ and the pool size of NSCs, is reduced from 7 d, 1 m to 12 m. We also observed a significant reduction in the level of NSC proliferation with age as demonstrated by neurosphere formation assays. These pieces of evidence suggest that NSCs are directed towards cell senescence with age, which is also determined by augmented SA-β-gal staining.
Furthermore, our results demonstrated that several critical inflammatory cytokines and chemokines such as IL-6, G-CSF, MCP-1, and RANTES are significantly increased with age. This prominent aging-associated alteration is “inflammaging”20,21, which is tightly associated with age-related diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, atherosclerosis, and heart diseases. In the brain, the aged neurogenic niche is characterized by elevated levels of inflammatory cytokines. This increased inflammation contributes to the declining function of NSCs. One of the most reliable biomarkers of aging is IL-6, which is a potent mediator of inflammatory processes22. Herein, we found that the secretion of IL-6 is elevated to 18-fold in 7 d NSCs as compared to 12 m, which suggested that IL-6 levels can be used as predictors of inflammaging in NSC. MCP-1 is a vital chemokine; Inadera et al. measured the MCP-1 levels, using ELISA, in 405 healthy Japanese subjects of various ages, and found that the increase was age-dependent23. Chiao et al. measured the levels of 69 analytes in the plasma of adult and senescent C57/BL6 mice by multi-analyte profiling, and the results suggested that MCP-1 may serve as a potential plasma marker for cardiac aging23. Felzien et al. found another C-C chemokines, normally expressed in T-cell and secreted RANTES, and their level increase in T-cells, midbrain, hippocampus, and cerebellum with age24.
In order to understand the underlying mechanisms modulating the age-related changes and protein profiles of NSCs in the SVZ, and to predict the neurodegenerative diseases, we utilized quantitative proteomics analysis. We focused on several proteins that showed significant expression changes, designating them as potential NSC senescence markers. Interestingly, PSMA1, which is a core alpha subunit of the 20 S proteasome25,26, showed a decreased expression level with aging. The specific inhibition of the 20 S proteasome led to accelerated cell senescence27,28,29,30, hence, PSMA1 could be used as a novel senescence-associated marker of NSCs. Another molecule, PSMD11 also decreased with NSC aging. As is known, embryonic stem cells can replicate continuously in the absence of senescence, which can be explained by the increased levels of PSMD1131.
Ingenuity Pathway Analysis was used to investigate the potential changes in the molecular functions and group proteins into several highly possible networks. Through IPA, our quantitative proteomic results revealed changes in some proteins that play critical roles in protein homeostasis. Several proteins, including PSMA1, PSMA3, PSMC2, PSMD11, UCHL1 in the network 1 showing significant downregulation have been reported to be directly correlated to ubiquitin-proteasome system. Also, protein ubiquitination pathway is one of the top five enriched canonical pathways according to our bioinformatics analysis on the differentially expressed proteins as predicted by the DAVID Bioinformatics Resource. The ubiquitin-proteasome system is the primary source of intracellular protein degradation, involved in more than 80% protein degradation in the cell.
Proteome homeostasis plays a critical role in the health of the cell32, and its loss is a major hallmark of aging1. With age, misfolded, or damaged proteins have detrimental consequences on protein homeostasis, leading to the development of several age-related pathologies33,34. In the present study, UCHL1 was found to be downregulated with age. It is a core protein in the ubiquitin/proteasome pathway, which is responsible for the degradation of intracellular proteins and distinctly misfolded and damaged proteins. It is well-known that the hallmark of the Parkinson’s disease is the widespread occurrence of α-synuclein-positive Lewy bodies and dystrophic Lewy neurites throughout the brain. The inhibition of UCHL1 is associated with the production of α-Syn aggregates, which can lead to PD35.
Through IPA analysis, we found 24 proteins involved in the neurological disease, lipid metabolism, and small molecule biochemistry that were grouped as the top network (Fig. 6). Among them, several proteins were associated with neurodegenerative diseases, and all these were found to be downregulated with age. DPYSL2 plays a role in neuronal development, neural differentiation, neurotransmitter release and polarity, as well as in axonal growth and guidance, neuronal growth cone collapse, and cell migration. This gene has been further implicated in multiple neurological disorders, and hyperphosphorylation of the encoded protein may play a vital role in the development of AD as the protein level was decreased in AD patients.
Triosephosphate isomerase 1 (TPI1) is a glycolytic enzyme, essential in the glycolytic pathway. It can cause an accumulation of methylglyoxal and subsequent increase in the generation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), and its activities were found to be significantly reduced in AD patients.
Aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) is the second enzyme of the major oxidative pathway of alcohol metabolism. It metabolizes acetaldehyde into acetate and protects against oxidative stress. Several pieces of evidence suggest that ALDH plays a significant role in the development of AD36,37, and its protein expression and activity are substantially decreased in the substantia nigra of patients with PD.
In summary, we found that the pool size and the colony formation capacity of NSCs decreased and cell senescence increased from 7 d, 1 m to 12 m, and the cellular senescence triggers senescence-associated inflammatory cytokine secretion. Next, we utilized quantitative proteomic analysis to estimate the regulation of 1170 distinct proteins derived from NSCs in the SVZ of 7 d, 1 m, and 12 m-old mice. With a 1.5-fold cutoff, 47 distinct proteins were significantly altered. Our proteomic data revealed that protein ubiquitination pathway lost its normal function during the NSC aging process. PSMD11 was preliminarily validated by Western blot in our study and emerged a promising marker of aging in NSCs. Several proteins were associated with neurodegenerative diseases, DPYSL2 and TPI1 were related to AD, UCHL1 was linked to PD, whereas ALDH was related to AD and PD. Our data show that impaired proteostasis is one of the important hallmarks of brain aging, which contributes to progressive neurodegenerative diseases. This will provide an insight into the potential pathways and regulatory networks involved in NSC aging which will help to identify drug targets for improving human longevity and predict neurodegenerative diseases at an early stage.
