Multisystem aging patterns in chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii) living at Ngogo, Kibale National Park, Uganda
REFNo: NS727ES
To better understand the biological and ecological forces that shape primate aging, we will assess both longitudinal and cross-sectional, age-related patterns of social, physiological, and physical variation in adult chimpanzees of the notably long-lived groups at Ngogo, Kibale National Park, Uganda. This project will integrate behavioral, genetic, endocrinological, immunological, and microbial data collected from wild chimpanzees. We will combine tried-and-tried observational and laboratory analyses with innovative, noninvasive omics-based approaches to studying physiological function. The proposed research will elucidate the advantages and limitations of wild chimpanzees as models of human health and aging and build an extensive multisystem dataset for future comparative chimpanzee research.
The three primary goals of this research are outlined below:
1) Characterize cross-sectional and longitudinal aging trajectories across functional domains. How do functional domains vary in the timing and rate of age-related decline? Do some systems (e.g., physical function, immune function) exhibit later onset and/or slower rates of decline than do others?
2) Determine the extent of sex biases in aging trajectories in Ngogo chimpanzees. Given that female chimpanzees at Ngogo have greater life expectancies at birth than do males [25], do female chimpanzees also show slower or delayed rates of aging across most / all functional domains? Are aging effects more pronounced in some functional domains than others, and if so, which domains show greater sex biases?
3) Develop methods to noninvasively study chimpanzee aging. Given that the study of wild chimpanzees is strictly noninvasive, we will continue to develop, validate, and implement new methods for studying aging across a range of functional domains. Notably, we will continue to refine the use of video recordings to measure walking speeds, which are an invaluable measure of physical function in humans and nonhuman primates alike [32, 33]. We will develop new urinary biomarkers for use in wild chimpanzee studies including biomarkers of neurodegeneration (e.g., Alzheimer’s-associated neuronal thread protein) and physical function (e.g., urinary pentosidine). Finally, we will validate and implement the study of genetic material from chimpanzee saliva samples, including bacterial and epigenetic information, by collecting and subsequently analyzing chimpanzee saliva samples onsite at Ngogo using transportable sequencing equipment (MinION Mk1C sequencer, Oxford Nanopore Technologies, Oxford, UK).
