Diet quality mediates aging-related risks of cognitive decline, neurodegeneration, and Alzheimer's disease (AD) through poorly defined mechanisms.
The effects of diet on the presynaptic proteome of the temporal cortex were assessed in 36 female cynomolgus macaques randomized to Mediterranean or Western diets for 31 months. Associations between the presynaptic proteome, determined by synaptometry by time-of-flight (SynTOF) mass spectrometry, adjacent cortex transcriptome, and multi-system phenotypes were assessed using a machine learning approach.
Six presynaptic proteins (DAT, Aβ42, calreticulin, LC3B, K48-Ubiquitin, SLC6A8) were elevated in the presynaptic proteome in Mediterranean diet consumers (p < 0.05). Transcriptomic data and multi-system phenotypes significantly predicted SynTOF markers. Selected SynTOF markers were correlated with changes in white matter volumes, hepatosteatosis, and behavioral and physiological measures of psychosocial stress.
These observations demonstrate that diet composition drives cortical presynaptic protein composition, that transcriptional profiles strongly predict the presynaptic proteomic profile, and that presynaptic proteins were closely associated with peripheral metabolism, stress responsivity, neuroanatomy, and socio-emotional behavior.
Mediterranean and Western diets differentially altered the cortical presynaptic proteome, which is strongly associated with neurodegeneration and cognitive decline. Presynaptic proteomic markers were predicted by transcriptomic profiles in the adjacent cortex, and by multi-system anatomical, physiologic, and behavioral phenotypes. The data demonstrate that brain phenotypes and brain-body interactions are influenced by common dietary patterns, suggesting that improving diet quality may be an effective means to maintain brain health.
饮食质量通过尚不明确的机制介导与衰老相关的认知衰退、神经退行性变和阿尔茨海默病(AD)风险。
对36只雌性食蟹猕猴进行研究,将其随机分为两组,分别给予地中海饮食或西方饮食31个月,评估饮食对颞叶皮质突触前蛋白质组的影响。采用机器学习方法评估通过飞行时间突触测量法(SynTOF)质谱测定的突触前蛋白质组、相邻皮质转录组和多系统表型之间的关联。
食用地中海饮食的猕猴,其突触前蛋白质组中有6种突触前蛋白(多巴胺转运体、β淀粉样蛋白42、钙网蛋白、微管相关蛋白1轻链3β、K48泛素、溶质载体家族6成员8)水平升高(p < 0.05)。转录组数据和多系统表型显著预测了SynTOF标记物。选定的SynTOF标记物与白质体积变化、肝脂肪变性以及心理社会应激的行为和生理指标相关。
这些观察结果表明,饮食组成驱动皮质突触前蛋白质组成,转录谱强烈预测突触前蛋白质组谱,且突触前蛋白与外周代谢、应激反应性、神经解剖结构和社会情感行为密切相关。
地中海饮食和西方饮食对皮质突触前蛋白质组有不同影响,这与神经退行性变和认知衰退密切相关。相邻皮质的转录组谱以及多系统解剖、生理和行为表型可预测突触前蛋白质组标记物。数据表明,常见饮食模式会影响脑表型和脑-体相互作用,这表明改善饮食质量可能是维持脑健康的有效手段。
