    Abstract We outline the progression of ageing research from ancient history to present day geroscience. Calorie restriction, genetic mutations, and the involvement of the sirtuins are highlighted, along with pharmaceutical interventions, in particular rapamycin. At the cellular level, replicative senescence and telomere shortening are presented in the history of ageing studies. We discuss the roles of macromolecular damage in ageing including damage to nuclear, and mitochondrial DNA, epigenetic and protein damage. The importance inflammation during ageing "inflammageing" is becoming increasingly recognized. Omics-based biomarkers are now proving to be a promising approach, along with comparative studies on long-lived animals. The science is getting closer to understanding the mechanisms of ageing and developing reliable interventions to improve human health.

    Abstract Accelerating the development of tools for non-model animal research, Dejosez et al. report the generation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from bats using a modified Yamanaka protocol. Their study also reveals that bat genomes harbor diverse and unusually abundant endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) that are reactivated during iPSC reprogramming.

    Abstract Genomic instability is an important driver of ageing. The accumulation of DNA damage is believed to contribute to ageing by inducing cell death, senescence and tissue dysfunction. However, emerging evidence shows that inflammation is another major consequence of DNA damage. Inflammation is a hallmark of ageing and the driver of multiple age-related diseases. Here, we review the evidence linking DNA damage, inflammation and ageing, highlighting how premature ageing syndromes are associated with inflammation. We discuss the mechanisms by which DNA damage induces inflammation, such as through activation of the cGAS-STING axis and NF-κB activation by ATM. The triggers for activation of these signalling cascades are the age-related accumulation of DNA damage, activation of transposons, cellular senescence and the accumulation of persistent R-loops. We also discuss how epigenetic changes triggered by DNA damage can lead to inflammation and ageing via redistribution of heterochromatin factors. Finally, we discuss potential interventions against age-related inflammation.

    Abstract OBJECTIVES/GOALS: The major objective of this project is two points. First, is to repeat and confirm previous observations that there is elevated cytosolic Line1 DNA in the cytoplasm of cells derived from old mice compared to young. Second is to identify which Line1s in the genome are contributing to this free DNA and test if targeting them rescues the age-related phenotype. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: This project will focus on data collected from both tissues and primary cells derived from multiple tissues. Using cellular/tissue fractionation kits, we isolate specifically from the cytoplasm. This specificity is confirmed by western blotting. Measurement of the Line1 levels is measured by quantitative PCR. Subsequently, these cytoplasmic samples are sent off for sequencing in order to quantify the length of the free DNA in the cytoplasm and to identify which Line1 genomic families the cytosolic DNA originates. Additionally, FISH is utilized to visualize Line1 DNA in the cytoplasm of aged versus young cells RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: We anticipate this research to confirm the hypothesis that extranuclear Line1 DNA accumulates with age in both tissues and primary fibroblasts. Additionally, we expect to be able to determine which specific families of genomic Line1 is driving this extranuclear DNA, which would suggest the active retrotransopable elements that are directly involved in this aging related phenotype. Assuming successful identification of such families, we can then target and silence these specific elements to determine not only if cytoplasmic Line1 in aged mice decreases, but additionally if the healthspan and/or lifespan of these mice improves DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Dereoressed Line1s have been shown to be involved in detrimental phenotypes, including autoimmune disease, cancer, and inflammaging. Targeting retrotransposons, either directly through degradation of transcriptional product of LINE1s or indirectly by improving function of regulators, will be crucial in ablating aging phenotypes

    Abstract Aging is a major risk factor for multiple diseases. Understanding the underlying mechanisms of aging would help to delay and prevent age-associated diseases. Short-lived model organisms have been extensively used to study the mechanisms of aging. However, these short-lived species may be missing the longevity mechanisms that are needed to extend the lifespan of an already long-lived species such as humans. Unconventional long-lived animal species are an excellent resource to uncover novel mechanisms of longevity and disease resistance. Here, we review mechanisms that evolved in nonmodel vertebrate species to counteract age-associated diseases. Some antiaging mechanisms are conserved across species; however, various nonmodel species also evolved unique mechanisms to delay aging and prevent disease. This variety of antiaging mechanisms has evolved due to the remarkably diverse habitats and behaviors of these species. We propose that exploring a wider range of unconventional vertebrates will provide important resources to study antiaging mechanisms that are potentially applicable to humans.

    Abstract Sirtuin 6 (SIRT6) has been in the spotlight of aging research because progeroid phenotypes are associated with SIRT6 deficiency. SIRT6 has multiple molecular functions, including DNA repair and heterochromatin regulation, which position SIRT6 as a hub that regulates genome and epigenome stability. Genomic instability caused by persistent DNA damage and accumulating mutations, together with alterations in the epigenetic landscape and derepression of repetitive genetic elements, have emerged as mechanisms driving organismal aging. Enhanced levels of SIRT6 expression or activity provide avenues for rejuvenation strategies. This review focuses on the role of SIRT6 in the maintenance of genome and epigenome stability and its link to longevity. We propose a model where SIRT6 together with lamins control aging and rejuvenation by maintaining epigenetic silencing of repetitive elements.
