Abstract

Genetic, environmental, and pharmacological interventions into the aging process can confer resistance to multiple age‐related diseases in laboratory animals, including rhesus monkeys. These findings imply that individual mechanisms of aging might contribute to the co‐occurrence of age‐related diseases in humans and could be targeted to prevent these conditions simultaneously. To address this question, we text mined 917,645 literature abstracts followed by manual curation and found strong, non‐random associations between age‐related diseases and aging mechanisms in humans, confirmed by gene set enrichment analysis of GWAS data. Integration of these associations with clinical data from 3.01 million patients showed that age‐related diseases associated with each of five aging mechanisms were more likely than chance to be present together in patients. Genetic evidence revealed that innate and adaptive immunity, the intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway and activity of the ERK1/2 pathway were associated with multiple aging mechanisms and diverse age‐related diseases. Mechanisms of aging hence contribute both together and individually to age‐related disease co‐occurrence in humans and could potentially be targeted accordingly to prevent multimorbidity.

FIGURE 2 Summary of the methods. (a) Associating aging hallmarks (AHs) with ARDs using text mining. From 1.85 million scientific abstracts, we extracted sentences mentioning and co‐mentioning aging hallmarks and ARDs to derive a score of their association. We kept scores verified using manual curation. The scores were used to identify the top 30 ranked ARDs linked to each aging hallmark. (b) Confirming ARD‐aging hallmark associations using GWAS data and investigating enrichment of specific signaling pathways across all aging hallmarks. We identified the genes linked to each of the top 30 ARDs associated with an aging hallmark from text mining and took the union of genes, which were mapped to encoded proteins forming nine protein lists. We carried out GSEA to identify whether there was significant enrichment of GO terms related to the same aging hallmark as the ARDs were linked to in text mining. We also assessed whether there were significantly enriched signaling pathways across all aging hallmarks. (c) Association of aging hallmarks with ARD multimorbidities. The input data were the top 30 ARDs per aging hallmark from text mining and four ARD multimorbidity networks from age 50 years. We selected subnetworks of the top 30 ARDs per aging hallmark and compared the network density in these subnetworks to random expectation. (d) Associations of aging hallmarks to ARDs with incompletely understood pathogenesis or pathophysiology. We superimposed the aging hallmark‐ARD scored associations from text mining onto the four ARD multimorbidity networks and iterated until convergence. We selected the top 30 ARDs based on the score of the nodes after network propagation and identified significant subnetworks. We identified ARDs with incompletely understood pathogenesis or pathophysiology newly associated with aging hallmarks (green) in the subnetworks and explored genetic data for links to the same aging hallmark

FIGURE 4 Significantly enriched signaling pathways across all aging hallmark protein lists. (a) p‐values of enriched signaling pathways across all aging hallmarks. We identified the genes linked to each of the top 30 ARDs associated with an aging hallmark from text mining and took the union of genes. These were mapped to encoded proteins forming nine protein lists. The associated aging hallmark from text mining represents the column labels of the heatmap. We carried out GSEA and searched for GO terms related to signaling pathways. Five signaling pathways were significantly enriched across all aging hallmark protein lists. (b‐f) The union of proteins/ genes associated with each of the five significantly enriched pathways was derived and they were linked to their associated ARDs. These are shown in the circos plots representing: (b) IFN‐γ‐mediated signaling pathway, (c) T‐cell receptor signaling pathway, (d) positive regulation of T‐cell receptor signaling pathway, (e) positive regulation of the ERK1/2 cascade, and (f) the intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway in response to DNA damage by p53 class mediator.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
