Multi-Omics Interpretation of Anti-Aging Mechanisms for ω-3 Fatty Acids

Aging is one of the hottest topics in biomedicine. Previous research suggested that ω-3 fatty acids have preventive effects on aging. However, most of previous studies on the anti-aging effects of ω-3 fatty acids are focused on clinical observations, and the anti-aging mechanisms of ω-3 fatty acids...

Previous research suggested that ω-3 fatty acids have preventive effects on aging. However, most of previous studies on the anti-aging effects of ω-3 fatty acids are focused on clinical observations, and the anti-aging mechanisms of ω-3 fatty acids have not been fully elucidated. This stimulated our interest to use multi-omics data related to ω-3 fatty acids in order to interpret the anti-aging mechanisms of ω-3 fatty acids. First, we found that ω-3 fatty acids can affect methylation levels and expression levels of genes associated with age-related diseases or pathways in humans. Then, a Mendelian randomization analysis was conducted to determine whether there is a causal relationship between the effect of ω-3 fatty acids on blood lipid levels and variation in the gut microbiome. Our results indicate that the impact of ω-3 fatty acids on aging is partially mediated by the gut microbiome (including <i>Actinobacteria, Bifidobacteria</i> and <i>Streptococcus</i>). In conclusion, this study provides deeper insights into the anti-aging mechanisms of ω-3 fatty acids and supports the dietary supplementation of ω-3 fatty acids in aging prevention.Shu-Hui XieHui LiJing-Jing JiangYuan QuanHong-Yu ZhangMDPI AGarticleω-3 fatty acidsagingmethylationMendelian randomizationgut microbiomeGeneticsQH426-470ENGenes, Vol 12, Iss 1691, p 1691 (2021)
