This study investigated the relationship between complex lipids and DNA methylation-based metrics of biological aging and found specific lipid molecular species associated with human biological aging. Higher levels of certain lipid species were linked to faster biological aging, while higher levels of other lipid species were associated with slower biological aging. The findings also revealed the importance of the chain length and composition of fatty acids in these lipid species in regulating biological aging.
Lipid signaling is involved in longevity regulation, but which specific lipid molecular species affect human biological aging remains largely unknown. We investigated the relation between complex lipids and DNA methylation-based metrics of biological aging among 4181 participants (mean age 55.1 years (range 30.0-95.0)) from the Rhineland Study, an ongoing population-based cohort study in Bonn, Germany. The absolute concentration of 14 lipid classes, covering 964 molecular species and 267 fatty acid composites, was measured by Metabolon Complex Lipid Panel. DNA methylation-based metrics of biological aging (AgeAccelPheno and AgeAccelGrim) were calculated based on published algorithms. Epigenome-wide association analyses (EWAS) of biological aging-associated lipids and pathway analysis were performed to gain biological insights into the mechanisms underlying the effects of lipidomics on biological aging. We found that higher levels of molecular species belonging to neutral lipids, phosphatidylethanolamines, phosphatidylinositols, and dihydroceramides were associated with faster biological aging, whereas higher levels of lysophosphatidylcholine, hexosylceramide, and lactosylceramide species were associated with slower biological aging. Ceramide, phosphatidylcholine, and lysophosphatidylethanolamine species with odd-numbered fatty acid tail lengths were associated with slower biological aging, whereas those with even-numbered chain lengths were associated with faster biological aging. EWAS combined with functional pathway analysis revealed several complex lipids associated with biological aging as important regulators of known longevity and aging-related pathways.
