Among the claimants, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is the only one to have held classes and graduated students as a public university in the eighteenth century.
After being chartered in 1789, the university first began enrolling students in 1795, making it one of the oldest public universities in the United States. The flagship of the University of North Carolina system, it is considered to be a Public Ivy, or a public institution which offers an academic experience similar to that of an Ivy League university. Further investigation is needed to delineate how cellular indicators of aging manifest in bone and the marrow niche and how altered cellular and tissue crosstalk impact disease progression, as well as consideration of exercise as a therapeutic modality, as a means to enhance discovery of bone-targeted therapies.The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill ( UNC, UNC-Chapel Hill, North Carolina, Chapel Hill, or simply Carolina ) is a public research university in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Increased bone mass and delayed onset or progression of osteoporosis and osteoarthritis are some of the recognized benefits of regular exercise across the lifespan. While senolytics have been utilized to target aging pathways, here we propose non-pharmacologic, exercise-based interventions as prospective “senolytics” against aging effects on the skeleton. We focus on these in musculoskeletal system and highlight knowledge gaps in the literature regarding cellular and tissue crosstalk in bone, cartilage, and the bone marrow niche. Cellular senescence, stem cell exhaustion, mitochondrial dysfunction, epigenetic and intracellular communication changes are central pathways and recognized as associated and potentially causal in aging. Cellular hallmarks of aging are examined, as related to bone and the marrow microenvironment, and ways in which these might contribute to a variety of age-related perturbations in osteoblasts, osteocytes, marrow adipocytes, chondrocytes, osteoclasts, and their respective progenitors. That trabecular bone increases were achievable in both KO and WT, despite a difference in BMAT quantity/distribution, points to potential metabolic flexibility during exercise-induced skeletal anabolism.Īging induces alterations in bone structure and strength through a multitude of processes, exacerbating common aging- related diseases like osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. The presence and distribution of BMAT in SEIPIN KO, though lower than WT, is unexpected and points to a uniqueness of this depot.
Notably, exercise increased trabecular BV/TV in both (+31%, KO-E vs KO, p=0.004 +14%, WT-E vs WT, p=0.006). Exercise reduced weight (-24% WT-E vs WT p<0.001) but not in KO.
Running distance, speed, and time were comparable in KO and WT. Bone via μCT was preserved in SEIPIN KO, though some quality parameters were attenuated. SEIPIN ablation’s most notable effect marrow adiposity was in the proximal femoral diaphysis (-56% KO vs WT, p=0.005), with relative preservation in KO-distal-femur. Bone marrow adipose tissue (BMAT), unlike white adipose, was measurable, although 40.5% lower in KO vs WT (p=0.0003) via 9.4T MRI/advanced image analysis. KO weighed 14% less than WT (p=0.01) and exhibited an absence of epididymal adipose tissue KO liver Plin1 via qPCR was 9-fold that of WT (p=0.04), consistent with steatosis. Male twelve-week-old B6 knockouts (KO) and wild type (WT) littermates were assigned six-weeks of voluntary, running exercise (E) versus non-exercise (N=5-8). We applied a mouse model of global deficiency of Bscl2 (SEIPIN), required for lipid droplet formation. Exercise, typically beneficial for skeletal health, has not yet been studied in lipodystrophy, a condition characterized by paucity of white adipose tissue, with eventual diabetes, and steatosis.
