Abstract Sex differences in the rates of glioblastoma increase with age. There are likely to be multiple biological mechanisms underlying these sex differences. Here, we focused on the changes that occur with aging in the secretomes of male and female astrocytes to determine whether sex differences in chemokine and cytokine secretion, and inflammatory cell recruitment, could be one of those mechanisms. We focused on glioblastoma (GBM) and the role that senescent astrocytes might play in the age-dependent widening of the gap between male and female GBM cases. We found that the senescence associated secretory phenotype of male and female astrocytes significantly differed, notably in the enrichment of Fractalkine (1.33:1 (F:M)), the primary chemoattractant for microglia, in female compared to male SASP. This was in contrast to the greater abundance of tumorigenic growth factors like bFGF (1.25:1 (M:F)), in the male SASP. Implantation of either male or female senescent astrocytes into the brains of mice resulted in the recruitment of microglia to the injection site. Regardless of the recipient mouse sex, female astrocyte implantation resulted in significantly larger microglial infiltrates (2-fold) and greater astrocyte activation, as compared to the injection of equal numbers of male senescent cells. We propose a model for how sex differences in astrocyte SASP could result in lower rates of GBM with age in females: greater microglial attraction to senescent cells results in their enhanced clearance and consequently a reduction in senescence-associated GBM promotion.

AbstractIn humans, females live longer than males but experience a worse longevity, as genome-wide autosomal DNA methylation differences between males and females have been reported. So far, few studies have investigated if DNA methylation is differently affected by aging in males and females. We performed a meta-analysis of 4 large whole blood datasets, comparing 4 aspects of epigenetic age-dependent remodeling between the two sexes: differential methylation, variability, epimutations and entropy. We reported that a large fraction (43%) of sex-associated probes undergoes age-associated DNA methylation changes, and that a limited number of probes shows age-by-sex interaction. We experimentally validated 2 regions mapping in FIGN and PRR4 genes, and showed sex-specific deviations of their methylation patterns in models of decelerated (centenarians) and accelerated (Down syndrome) aging. While we did not find sex differences in the age-associated increase in epimutations and in entropy, we showed that the number of probes showing age-related increase in methylation variability is 15 times higher in males compared to females. Our results can offer new epigenetic tools to study the interaction between aging and sex and can pave the way to the identification of molecular triggers of sex differences in longevity and age-related diseases prevalence.
