Standardisation is a pressing issue in EV research, prompting collaborative global efforts to address it. While the MISEV guidelines offer valuable recommendations, unanswered questions remain, particularly regarding sample storage. We compared size exclusion chromatography (SEC) columns with pore sizes of 35 nm and 70 nm to identify fractions with minimal contaminating proteins and the highest concentration of small EVs (sEVs). Following column selection, we explored potential differences in the quality and quantity of sEVs isolated from platelet-free plasma (PFP) after long-term storage at −80 °C (>2.5 years) compared to freshly drawn blood. Our methodologically rigorous study indicates that prolonged storage, under correct storage and processing conditions, does not compromise sEV quality. Both columns effectively isolated vesicles, with the 70 nm column exhibiting a higher abundance of “vesicular” proteins. We propose a relatively rapid and moderately efficient protocol for obtaining a comparatively pure sEV fraction from plasma, facilitating sEV processing in clinical trials.}, year = {2024}, eissn = {1467-3045}, pages = {4337-4357}, orcid-numbers = {György, Bernadett/0000-0002-3787-7338; Pálóczi, Krisztina/0000-0001-7065-3582; Balbisi, Mirjam/0000-0002-6917-6974; Turiák, Lilla/0000-0002-2139-8156; Drahos, László/0000-0001-9589-6652; Visnovitz, Tamás/0000-0002-7962-5083; Koltai, Erika/0000-0002-1370-2955; Radák, Zsolt/0000-0003-1297-6804} } @article{MTMT:34693196, title = {Alterations of the gut microbiome are associated with epigenetic age acceleration and physical fitness}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34693196}, author = {Torma, Ferenc Gergely and Kerepesi, Csaba and Jókai, Mátyás and Bábszky, Gergely and Koltai, Erika and Ligeti, Balázs and Kalcsevszki, Regina and McGreevy, Kristen M. and Horvath, Steve and Radák, Zsolt}, doi = {10.1111/acel.14101}, journal-iso = {AGING CELL}, journal = {AGING CELL}, volume = {23}, unique-id = {34693196}, issn = {1474-9718}, abstract = {Epigenetic clocks can measure aging and predict the incidence of diseases and mortality. Higher levels of physical fitness are associated with a slower aging process and a healthier lifespan. Microbiome alterations occur in various diseases and during the aging process, yet their relation to epigenetic clocks is not explored. To fill this gap, we collected metagenomic (from stool), epigenetic (from blood), and exercise‐related data from physically active individuals and, by applying epigenetic clocks, we examined the relationship between gut flora, blood‐based epigenetic age acceleration, and physical fitness. We revealed that an increased entropy in the gut microbiome of physically active middle‐aged/old individuals is associated with accelerated epigenetic aging, decreased fitness, or impaired health status. We also observed that a slower epigenetic aging and higher fitness level can be linked to altered abundance of some bacterial species often linked to anti‐inflammatory effects.

In addition, verbal short-term memory is associated with decelerated aging assessed with the new DNAm biomarker FitAgeAcceleration ( ρ : − 0.18, p = 0.0017). DNAmFitAge can distinguish high-fitness individuals from low/medium-fitness individuals better than existing DNAm biomarkers and estimates a younger biological age in the high-fit males and females (1.5 and 2.0 years younger, respectively).

Elucidation of pathophysiological mechanisms, as well as effective treatments for muscle diseases, represents an important goal in improving human health. Here, we show that the lipid synthesis enzyme phosphatidylethanolamine cytidyltransferase (PCYT2/ECT) is critical to muscle health. Human deficiency in PCYT2 causes a severe disease with failure to thrive and progressive weakness. pcyt2-mutant zebrafish and muscle-specific Pcyt2-knockout mice recapitulate the participant phenotypes, with failure to thrive, progressive muscle weakness and accelerated ageing. Mechanistically, muscle Pcyt2 deficiency affects cellular bioenergetics and membrane lipid bilayer structure and stability. PCYT2 activity declines in ageing muscles of mice and humans, and adeno-associated virus-based delivery of PCYT2 ameliorates muscle weakness in Pcyt2-knockout and old mice, offering a therapy for individuals with a rare disease and muscle ageing. Thus, PCYT2 plays a fundamental and conserved role in vertebrate muscle health, linking PCYT2 and PCYT2-synthesized lipids to severe muscle dystrophy and ageing.}, keywords = {disease model; Ageing; Gene Therapy}, year = {2023}, eissn = {2522-5812}, pages = {495-515}, orcid-numbers = {Sezgin, Erdinc/0000-0002-4915-388X; Koltai, Erika/0000-0002-1370-2955; Miranda, Nasser Darwish/0000-0002-8821-8236; Grapentine, Sophie/0000-0003-2307-4363; Weidinger, Adelheid/0000-0002-2759-211X; Kutchukian, Candice/0000-0003-1142-7109; Kavirayani, Anoop/0000-0003-3874-3101; Schuetz, Thomas/0000-0001-9211-8345; Hagelkruys, Astrid/0000-0003-3015-4038; Kozlov, Andrey/0000-0002-0834-4997; Jacquemond, Vincent/0000-0003-4944-270X; Knauf, Claude/0000-0001-5213-5378; Superti-Furga, Giulio/0000-0002-0570-1768; Rullman, Eric/0000-0003-2854-7262; Radák, Zsolt/0000-0003-1297-6804; Chamberlain, Jeffrey S./0000-0001-5299-0059; Banka, Siddharth/0000-0002-8527-2210; Penninger, Josef M./0000-0002-8194-3777} } @CONFERENCE{MTMT:33022430, title = {A több évtizedes testedzés hatása a humán vérből izolált extracelluláris vezikulák tartalmára}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/33022430}, author = {György, Bernadett and Pálóczi, Krisztina and Buzás, Edit and Koltai, Erika and Radák, Zsolt}, booktitle = {VII.
