Project Abstract – MAE-WEST SCORE Biostatistics and Bioinformatics Core Over the course of life, chronic stressors contribute to multi-organ aging and dysfunction and, ultimately, the development of clinical disease. Sex remains a critical determinant of the nature and pace of aging and ultimately longevity. Among mammalian species, it is even more clear that females fundamentally age differently from males. With advancing chronologic age in humans, differences in biological aging between women and men become even more pronounced, culminating in the female predominance for a number of important morbid disease conditions, including notably Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD), heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), progressive chronic kidney disease (CKD), and in turn systemic frailty. Mechanisms underlying the female predominance for these major morbidities remains unknown and are not explained by variations in sex hormones or survival bias. Our preliminary work supports a central hypothesis that sexual dimorphism in inflammatory eicosanoid mediators contribute to sex differences in microvascular dysfunction and, in turn, to sex differences in age-related multi-organ disease, including for ADRD, HFpEF and CKD. Elucidating a common pathophysiologic basis for the female predominance of ADRD, HFpEF, and CKD holds the key to effective interventions for reducing the excess burden of age-related disease in women. Motivated our findings and the critical need to understand the determinants and drivers of sex differences in major age-related disease outcomes, we propose to establish the Microvascular Aging and Eicosanoids – Women’s Evaluation of Systemic aging Tenacity (MAE-WEST) (“You are never too old to become younger!”) Specialized Center of Research Excellence (SCORE) on Sex Differences, in response to NIH RFA-OD-19-013. Our goal is to form a robust and sustainable structure of academic activities centered on systematically interrogating sex differences in the relationship among eicosanoids, microvascular dysfunction, and age-related end-organ disease, with an initial focus on the microvascular aging effects on brain, heart, and kidney function. This goal will be achieved by an outstanding collaborative team of clinician-scientists (with expertise in geriatrics, cardiology, and nephrology), epidemiologists, basic and translational scientists, analytical chemists, biostatisticians, and bioinformaticians. Leveraging our collective experience, resources, and infrastructure, we will advance the scientific enterprise through 3 foundational projects aligned and complementary yet independent. We will establish a dedicated Resource Support Core – a Biostatistical and Bioinformatics Core (BBC) that will be intentionally created as standalone organization within the larger MAE-WEST SCORE. This organizational feature will not only maximize resource sharing across the project aims but will also ensure the ability to separately and independently augment the methodological training of early career investigators and, importantly, timely provision of in-kind services for trainee pilot projects. The dedicated effort of the BBC will allow efficient generation of preliminary data for acquiring additional and ancillary grant funding for both early career and core activities.

项目摘要- MAE-WEST SCORE生物统计学和生物信息学核心 在生命过程中，慢性应激源导致多器官衰老和功能障碍，最终， 临床疾病的发展。性仍然是衰老的性质和速度的关键决定因素， 中心blog在哺乳动物物种中，更明显的是，雌性的衰老与雌性的衰老根本不同。 男性。随着人类生理年龄的增长，女性和男性之间的生物衰老差异 变得更加明显，最终在女性占主导地位的一些重要的病态 疾病状况，尤其包括阿尔茨海默病和相关痴呆（ADRD）、心力衰竭伴 射血分数保留（HFpEF）、进行性慢性肾病（CKD），进而全身虚弱。 这些主要发病率女性占优势的机制仍然未知， 这可以用性激素的变化或生存偏差来解释。我们的初步工作支持一个中心假设， 炎症性类花生酸介质的性别二型性导致微血管 功能障碍，反过来，与年龄相关的多器官疾病的性别差异，包括ADRD，HFpEF和 慢性肾脏病。阐明ADRD、HFpEF和CKD女性优势的共同病理生理学基础 是采取有效干预措施减少妇女年龄相关疾病过度负担的关键。 激发了我们的研究结果，并迫切需要了解性别差异的决定因素和驱动因素， 主要的年龄相关疾病的结果，我们建议建立微血管老化和类花生酸- 女性系统老化韧性评估（MAE-WEST）（“你永远不会太老，变得年轻！”） 性别差异卓越研究专业中心（SCORE），响应NIH RFA-OD-19-013。 我们的目标是形成一个强大的和可持续的学术活动结构， 询问类二十烷酸、微血管功能障碍和年龄相关性之间关系的性别差异 终末器官疾病，最初的重点是微血管老化对大脑，心脏和肾脏功能的影响。 这一目标将由一个杰出的临床医生-科学家（具有老年医学专业知识， 心脏病学和肾脏病学），流行病学家，基础和转化科学家，分析化学家， 生物统计学家和生物信息学家。利用我们的集体经验、资源和基础设施， 将通过3个基础项目来推进科学事业，这些项目是一致和互补的， 独立的我们将建立一个专门的资源支持核心-生物统计和生物信息学核心 (BBC)这将被有意创建为更大的MAE-WEST SCORE内的独立组织。这 组织特征不仅将最大限度地实现项目目标之间的资源共享，而且还将确保 能够单独和独立地加强对早期职业调查人员的方法培训， 重要的是，及时为受训人员试点项目提供实物服务。英国广播公司的努力将 允许有效地生成初步数据，以获得额外的和辅助的赠款资金， 职业和核心活动。
