Introduction

A 10-15 years decrease in life expectancy has been observed in individuals with bipolar disorder (BD) and has been associated with premature cellular aging, but mechanisms involved remain unclear. Our team recently identified a subgroup of young individuals with prematurely shortened telomere length (TL).

Objectives

The aims of the present study were to replicate this observation in a larger sample and to analyze the expression levels of genes associated with age or TL in a subsample of these individuals.

Methods

TL was measured by qPCR using peripheral blood DNA from 542 individuals with BD. Clustering analyzes were performed with age and TL as classification variables to identify similar groups.

Gene expression of 29 genes, including 20 associated with age and 9 with TL, was analyzed by RT-qPCR using peripheral blood RNA in a subgroup of 129 individuals. Gene expressions were compared between groups obtained from the previous clustering analyzes by Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests.

Results

Clustering analyzes identified 3 subgroups and replicated the clustering previously described: a subgroup of aged individuals with a low TL (mean age : 51.73 years ; mean TL : 2), a subgroup of young individuals with a high TL (mean age : 29.02 years ; mean TL : 4.36) and a subgroup of young individuals but with a low TL (mean age : 29.64 years ; mean TL : 1.96). None of the tested clinical variables were significantly associated with this subgroup.

Furthermore, gene expression level analyzes showed that only POT1 expression was different between the two subgroups of young individuals, with a downregulation of POT1 expression in the subgroup with a lower TL level. POT1 is a protein involved in the maintenance of TL. POT1 binds to another protein TPP1 allowing the recruitment of telomerase, the enzyme which extends TL. Our hypothesis is that in the subgroup presenting a lower POT1 expression, the POT1-TPP1 complex cannot form and thus prevents telomerase recruitment and TL elongation.

Conclusions

This study confirms, on a larger sample, the existence of a subgroup of young individuals with BD presenting accelerated cellular aging. The observed decrease of POT1 expression level suggests a newly described cellular mechanism in individuals with BD, that may contribute to telomere shortening.
