Changes in human protein patterns over 50 years reveal aging trends and markers

Updated

Abstract

A comprehensive analysis of 516 samples from 13 human tissues reveals key insights into the proteomics of aging.

  • Significant transcriptome-proteome decoupling is observed across various human tissues as they age.
  • Proteostasis decline is characterized by the accumulation of amyloid proteins.
  • Tissue-specific proteomic age clocks were developed based on aging-associated protein changes.
  • An aging inflection point is noted around age 50, with blood vessels identified as particularly susceptible to early aging.
  • A plasma proteomic signature of aging aligns with its tissue origins and includes candidate senoproteins like GAS6.
