Aging causes a slowing in ciliary beat frequency, mediated by PKCε

Abstract: The elderly are at much higher risk for developing pneumonia than younger individuals. Pneumonia is a leading cause of death and is the third most common reason for hospitalization in the elderly. One reason that elderly people may be more susceptible to pneumonia is a breakdown in the lung's first line of defense, mucociliary clearance. Cilia beat in a coordinated manner to propel out invading microorganisms and particles. Ciliary beat frequency (CBF) is known to slow with aging, however, little is known abou… Show more

“…Data suggest that this as a dysregulated immune response in aged mice to appropriately respond and resolve repetitive ODE challenges, consistent with our prior observations of diminished ciliary motility/clearance parameters with normal aging (Bailey, et al 2014). Young mice demonstrated an increased CD4:CD8 response that was not found in older mice following repetitive ODE exposure (Figure 4E).…”

“…Over time, muscles become atrophic, resulting in less strength for effective cough [15]. Also, mucociliary clearance is known to be compromised with age [16], which might in particular contribute to viral and bacterial inflammation and thus acute exacerbations of lung diseases like COPD.…”

“…The key role of phosphorylation events in AICD led us to hypothesize that phosphatase activity is increased at the cilia organelle level by alcohol (1,8). To test this hypothesis, we directly measured axoneme preparation phosphatase activity after prolonged alcohol exposure.…”
