Abstract
Genome instability is defined as an elevated rate of DNA damage and mutations as a result of exposure to potential direct and indirect mutagens. This current investigation was designed to elucidate the genomic instability among couples experiencing unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss (uRPL). A cohort of 1272 individuals with history of unexplained RPL with normal karyotype was retrospectively screened for levels of intracellular ROS production, baseline genomic instability and telomere functionality. The experimental outcome was compared with 728 fertile control individuals. In this study, it was perceived that individuals with uRPL exhibited higher intracellular oxidative stress, along with higher basal levels of genomic instability as compared with the fertile controls. This observation elucidates the role of genomic instability as well as involvement of telomeres in cases of uRPL. It was also observed that higher oxidative stress might be associated with DNA damage and telomere dysfunction resulting in genomic instability among subjects with unexplained RPL. This study highlighted the assessment of genomic instability status in individuals experiencing uRPL.

Front Public Health 2021; 9:640226. [PMID: 34988044 PMCID: PMC8722469 DOI: 10.3389/fpubh.2021.640226] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2020] [Accepted: 11/29/2021] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Acculturation profiles and their impact on telomere length among foreign-born Hispanics/Latinos living in the United States (US) are relatively unknown. The limited research available has linked acculturation with shortened telomere length. Objectives: To identify acculturation profiles among a US representative sample of Hispanics/Latinos and to then examine telomere length differences between profiles. Methods: We conducted a latent class analysis among a non-institutionalized US-representative sample of Hispanics/Latinos using the 1999-2002 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (N = 2,292). The latent variable of acculturation was assessed by length of time in the US and language used as a child, read and spoken, usually spoken at home, used to think, and used with friends (i.e., Spanish and/or English). Telomere length assessed from leukocytes was used as the distal continuous outcome. Results: We identified five profiles: (1) low acculturated [33.2% of sample]; (2) partially integrated [18.6% of sample]; (3) integrated [19.4% of sample]; (4) partially assimilated [15.1% of sample]; and (5) assimilated [13.7% of sample]. Acculturation profiles revealed nuanced differences in conditional probabilities with language use despite the length of time spent in the US. While telomere length did vary, there were no significant differences between profiles. Conclusion: Profiles identified revealed that possible life-course and generational effects may be at play in the partially assimilated and assimilated profiles. Our findings expand public health research using complex survey data to identify and assess the dynamic relationship of acculturation profiles and health biomarkers, while being among the first to examine this context using a person-centered approach.

Prenatal Household Air Pollution Exposure, Cord Blood Mononuclear Cell Telomere Length and Age Four Blood Pressure: Evidence from a Ghanaian Pregnancy Cohort. TOXICS 2021; 9:toxics9070169. [PMID: 34357912 PMCID: PMC8309911 DOI: 10.3390/toxics9070169] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/04/2021] [Revised: 07/04/2021] [Accepted: 07/07/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Associations between prenatal household air pollution exposure (HAP), newborn telomere length and early childhood blood pressure are unknown. Methods: Pregnant women were randomized to liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) stove, improved biomass stove or control (traditional, open fire cook stove). HAP was measured by personal carbon monoxide (CO) (n = 97) and fine particulate matter (PM2.5) (n = 60). At birth, cord blood mononuclear cells (CBMCs) were collected for telomere length (TL) analyses. At child age four years, we measured resting blood pressure (BP) (n = 97). We employed multivariable linear regression to determine associations between prenatal HAP and cookstove arm and assessed CBMC relative to TL separately. We then examined associations between CBMC TL and resting BP. Results: Higher prenatal PM2.5 exposure was associated with reduced TL (β = -4.9% (95% CI -8.6, -0.4), p = 0.03, per 10 ug/m3 increase in PM2.5). Infants born to mothers randomized to the LPG cookstove had longer TL (β = 55.3% (95% CI 16.2, 109.6), p < 0.01)) compared with control. In all children, shorter TL was associated with higher systolic BP (SBP) (β = 0.35 mmHg (95% CI 0.001, 0.71), p = 0.05, per 10% decrease in TL). Increased prenatal HAP exposure is associated with shorter TL at birth. Shorter TL at birth is associated with higher age four BP, suggesting that TL at birth may be a biomarker of HAP-associated disease risk.

Longer Leukocyte Telomere Length Predicts Stronger Response to a Workplace Sugar-Sweetened Beverage Sales Ban: An Exploratory Study. Curr Dev Nutr 2021; 5:nzab084. [PMID: 34235373 PMCID: PMC8257411 DOI: 10.1093/cdn/nzab084] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2020] [Revised: 03/17/2021] [Accepted: 05/19/2021] [Indexed: 11/12/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Shorter leukocyte telomere length (LTL) is associated with increased risk of a number of metabolic diseases including insulin resistance and the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Shorter LTL is also associated with stress reactivity suggestive of a possible role for LTL to predict response to behavioral interventions. However, few studies have evaluated how interventions, such as weight loss or dietary changes, are associated with LTL changes or whether LTL can predict behavioral responses to interventions. OBJECTIVES We evaluated metabolic changes in relation to LTL changes and LTL at baseline in a cohort of at-risk adults in response to a 10-mo workplace-based sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) intervention. METHODS At baseline, metabolic health and LTL measurements were assessed through standard blood draws on 212 participants. Multivariable linear regression models were used to assess changes in anthropometrics, SSB consumption, and 13 blood-based metabolic risk factors, in relation to LTL at baseline and changes in LTL. RESULTS Longer LTL at baseline was associated with decreases in SSB consumption over the 6-mo follow-up period (B = -29.67; P = 0.04). Slower LTL attrition rates were associated with decreases in waist circumference (B = -0.27; P = 0.03), HDL cholesterol (B = -0.20; P = 0.05), and apoA1 (B = -0.09; P = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Longer LTL at baseline predicted a favorable overall response to a behavioral intervention: decreases in SSB consumption. Abdominal adiposity losses paralleled slower declines in LTL suggestive of overall health benefits, but we found differences in the relations between metabolic changes and LTL at baseline compared with LTL attrition rates. Longer LTL may be a proxy marker of a positive behavioral response.This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT02585336.

Relative Telomere Length in Peripheral Blood Cells and Hypertension Risk among Mine Workers: A Case-Control Study in Chinese Coal Miners. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2020; 2020:5681096. [PMID: 33354567 PMCID: PMC7735841 DOI: 10.1155/2020/5681096] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/07/2020] [Revised: 11/18/2020] [Accepted: 11/25/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Hypertension is a common chronic disease in middle-aged and elderly people and is an important risk factor for many cardiovascular diseases. Its pathogenesis remains unclear. Epidemiological studies have found that the loss of telomere length in peripheral blood cells can increase the risk of coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, and other diseases. However, a correlation between loss of telomere length and hypertension has not been established. In this study, we aimed to explore the association between telomere length and the risk of essential hypertension (EH) in Chinese coal miners. A case-control study was performed with 215 EH patients and 222 healthy controls in a large coal mining group located in North China. Face-to-face interviews were conducted by trained staff with the necessary medical knowledge. Relative telomere length (RTL) was measured by a quantitative real-time PCR assay using DNA extracted from peripheral blood. In the control group, the age-adjusted RTL was statistically significantly lower in miners performing hard physical labour compared with nonphysical labour (P = 0.043). A significantly shorter age-adjusted RTL was found in the control group of participants who consumed alcohol regularly compared with those who do not consume alcohol (P = 0.024). Age-adjusted RTL was negatively correlated with body mass index (BMI) and alcohol consumption. Hypertension was also found to be significantly correlated with factors such as age, BMI, alcohol consumption, smoking, and tea consumption. Our results suggest that RTL is associated with hypertension in coal miners.

Abstract
Background Eukaryotes chromosomal ends are capped and protected by telomeres, which are noncoding DNA repeats synthesized by telomerase enzyme. The telomerase enzyme is a nucleoprotein encoded by TERC and TERT genes. Naturally, the length of the telomeres shortens with each cell cycle but the shortening is fastened in certain age-related diseases like hypertension (HTN) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Materials and methods Blood samples (n = 171) were obtained from Kuwaiti subjects with HTN, and HTN/T2DM comorbidity (HTN-DM) and healthy subjects. The leukocyte telomere length (LTL) was measured by SYBR green quantitative rtPCR, and plasma telomerase enzyme was measured by ELISA, in addition, three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in telomere-related genes; TERC rs12696304GC, TERT rs2736100CA, and ACYP2 rs6713088GC were genotyped by real-time PCR. Results Marked LTL shortening in subjects with HTN and HTN-DM compared to healthy subjects, P = 0.043 and P < 0.001, respectively, was noticed. On the contrary, the plasma telomerase enzyme levels and minor allele frequencies and genotypes of the tested SNPs were comparable between the study groups, except for TERT (CA) genotype which was over-represented in HTN (P = 0.037). Furthermore, the comparisons between HTN and HTN-DM revealed significantly higher total cholesterol (P = 0.015) and LDL-C (P = 0.008) in HTN, while higher insulin levels (P < 001), HOMA-IR (P < 001), and BMI (P = 0.004) were observed in HTN-DM. Conclusion This study showed comparable LTL shortening in HTN and HTN-DM, irrespective of plasma telomerase enzyme levels or tested TERC, TERT, and ACYP2 gene polymorphisms, although HTN and HTN-DM differed in several metabolic markers. More studies are required to affirm these observations.

Abstract
Purpose Whether an unfavorable lifestyle not only affects breast cancer risk, but also influences age at onset of breast cancer and survival, is under debate. Methods In a population-based cohort, the Energy Balance and Breast Cancer Aspects throughout life (EBBA-Life) study, a total of 17,145 women were included. During follow-up, 574 women developed invasive breast cancer. Breast cancer cases were followed for an additional 9.1 years. Detailed medical records were obtained. Cox’s proportional hazard regression models were used to study the association between pre-diagnostic lifestyle factors (weight, physical activity, alcohol use, smoking, and hypertension), breast cancer risk, age at diagnosis, and survival. Results At study entry, 34.3% of the participating women were overweight and 30.7% were physically inactive. Mean age at breast cancer diagnosis was 58.0 years, and 78.9% of the tumors were estrogen receptor positive. Among menopausal women who did not use hormone therapy and had an unfavorable lifestyle (3–5 unfavorable factors), compared with women who had a favorable lifestyle, we observed a twofold higher risk for postmenopausal breast cancer (hazard ratio [HR] 2.13, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.23–3.69), and they were 3.4 years younger at diagnosis (64.8 versus 68.2 years, P = 0.032). Breast cancer patients with an unfavorable lifestyle, compared with patients with a favorable lifestyle, had almost a two times higher overall mortality risk (HR 1.96, 95% CI 1.01–3.80). Conclusions Our study supports a healthy lifestyle improving breast cancer prevention, postponing onset of disease, and extending life expectancy among breast cancer patients.

Abstract
Early life prevention of obesity and associated metabolic disease is necessary to address the current obesity epidemic. Latino children have a higher risk of obesity, and associated comorbidities such as hypertension than Caucasian children. This study focuses on perinatal childhood and maternal risk factors associated with prehypertension and hypertension prior to age 9 in an urban Latino cohort. A cohort of low income, US born Latino children (n = 131) in San Francisco was followed from birth. Annual assessments were conducted including child dietary intake, anthropometrics, and blood pressure measurements. Maternal body mass index and depressive symptoms were assessed concurrently. Leukocyte telomere length was assessed at age 4 and 5 in children. Rapid infant weight gain (odds ratio (OR) 7.25, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.33-39.38) and prenatal maternal clinical depression (OR 6.70 95% CI 1.15-39.16) were associated with prehypertension/hypertension before age 9. Early life obesity and leukocyte telomere length were not associated with childhood hypertension. Rapid infant weight gain and exposure to prenatal maternal depression are predictive of childhood prehypertension/hypertension before age 9 in low income, US-born Latino children. The perinatal period is an important time point to target for prevention of childhood hypertension.

Abstract
Telomeres and telomerase play important roles in the occurrence and development of hypertension. This review was performed to clarify the factors that influence telomere length and telomerase activity in older patients and elucidate the association of these factors with hypertension. A PubMed search and critical review of studies assessing the risk factors underlying the association of hypertension with telomere length and telomerase activity was performed. Telomere length and telomerase activity were found to be associated with hypertension. The factors that influence telomere length and telomerase activity in older patients with hypertension include genetics, demographics, social and environmental factors, chronic disease, psychological factors, and antihypertensive drug treatment. A better understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the association of hypertension with telomere length and telomerase activity may help to reduce the incidence of hypertension.

Abstract
Although it has been shown that telomerase has neuroprotective effects, mainly as a result of its non-canonical functions in neuronal cells, its role with respect to glial cells remains unknown. There is growing evidence indicating that telomerase plays an important role with respect to inflammation, especially in the regulation of pro-inflammatory cytokine gene expression. The present study aimed to evaluate the role of telomerase in an astrocyte cell model treated with palmitic acid (PA) and tibolone. Cell death, reactive oxygen species production and interleukin-6 expression were evaluated under telomerase inhibition with the BIBR1532 compound in T98G cells treated with tibolone and PA, using fluorometry, flow cytometry, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays and the quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The results obtained showed that telomerase protein was increased by PA after 36 hours, alone or in combination with tibolone, and that its activity was affected by PA. Telomerase inhibition reduced interleukin-6 expression and it interfered with the protective effects of tibolone on cell death. Moreover, tibolone increased Tyr707 phosphorylation in PA-treated cells. In the present study, we provide novel findings about the regulation of telomerase by PA and tibolone. Telomerase was involved in inflammation by PA and in protective effects of tibolone. Therefore, we conclude that telomerase could play a dual role in these cells.

Abstract
Recent advances in health care have improved the management of cardiometabolic disorders, and prolonged lifespan. However, the ever-rising prevalence of metabolic stress related to obesity (insulin resistance, diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia) has greatly challenged geriatric care. The ubiquitin-proteasome system and autophagy-lysosomal pathways represent two major, yet distinct cellular machineries, for degradation and removal of damaged or long-lived proteins and organelles; the function of which declines with aging. To seek new strategies for cardiovascular aging under various metabolic diseases, it is imperative to understand the precise role for metabolic stress and protein quality control, in particular autophagy, in premature cardiovascular aging. Targeting metabolic stress and autophagy may offer exciting new avenues for the management of cardiovascular aging.
