Emerging Omics Approaches in Aging Research.
Antioxidants & Redox Signaling 2018 October 2
SIGNIFICANCE: Aging is a complex trait that is influenced by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Although many cellular and physiological changes have been described to occur with aging, the precise molecular causes of aging remain unknown. Given the biological complexity and heterogeneity of the aging process, understanding the mechanisms that underlie aging requires integration of data about age-dependent changes that occur at the molecular, cellular, tissue, and organismal levels. Recent Advances: The development of high-throughput technologies such as next-generation sequencing, proteomics, metabolomics, and automated imaging techniques provides researchers with new opportunities to understand the mechanisms of aging. Using these methods, millions of biological molecules can be simultaneously monitored during the aging process with high accuracy and specificity.
CRITICAL ISSUES: Although the ability to produce big data has drastically increased over the years, integration and interpreting of high-throughput data to infer regulatory relationships between biological factors and identify causes of aging remain the major challenges. In this review, we describe recent advances and survey emerging omics approaches in aging research. We then discuss their limitations and emphasize the need for the further development of methods for the integration of different types of data.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS: Combining omics approaches and novel methods for single-cell analysis with systems biology tools would allow building interaction networks and investigate how these networks are perturbed with aging and disease states. Together, these studies are expected to provide a better understanding of the aging process and could provide insights into the pathophysiology of many age-associated human diseases. Antioxid.
