ABSTRACT Hippocampal neurogenesis continues throughout the lifespan of adult mammals, but the rates decline dramatically with increasing age. Among the factors that have been shown to affect neurogenesis, aging has been shown to be one of its most potent regulators in mice. The mechanism for the decline in neurogenesis with age is thought to be related to age-dependent changes in local and systemic neuroendocrinology and neurochemistry, as well as internal changes to precursor cells that result in decreased reactivity to normal stimuli. Since most of the data about neurogenesis and age were established from rodent studies, we sought to study this relationship in nonhuman primates in five previously stud- ied cohorts of bonnet monkeys (Macaca radiata). In the present study, we statistically analyze the relationship of age and hippocampal neurogenesis rates, as measured by the number of DCX expressing cells in the subgranular zone of the dentate gyrus in 71 subjects with ages ranging from 3.5 to 17 years. We observed a non-significant relationship between age and doublecortin for subjects less than nine years old (corresponding to young and full adulthood) but a linear sig- nificant decline for subjects 9 years or greater (middle age and senescence). In contrast to previous studies that show neurogenesis to decline linearly throughout the lifespan, this study shows that neurogenesis occurs steadily throughout adulthood and begins to decline in middle age in bonnet macaques. Keywords: Neurogenesis; Age; Macaca Radiate; Nonhuman Primates 1. Introduction Neurogenesis, the birth of new neurons, occurs through- out adulthood in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus [1]. The process of hippocampal neurogenesis can be divided into several developmental steps, beginning with the proliferation of precursor cells, their survival and migration, and finally, their differentiation into mature functional neurons. Newborn precursor cells arise from the subgranular zone of the dentate gyrus and, once hav- ing matured into granule cell neurons, and extend axonal projections along the mossy fiber tract to the CA3 region of the hippocampus, becoming integrated into the hippo- campal circuitry [2-5]. With increasing age, there is a continuous decline in precursor cell proliferation and net hippocampal neuron- genesis that occurs in rat [6] and mouse models [7]. More recent experimental designs using primates showed similar results. In New World marmoset nonhuman pri- mates, the number of bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU)-labeled cells in the dentate gyrus was shown to decline linearly with age [8]. To further study the relationship of neuro- genesis and age in primates, we performed a correlation analysis on data collected from 71 adult bonnet monkeys obtained under the rubric of five separate studies: the “Fluoxetine” study, the “ECS” study, the “Ziprasidone” study and two separate “Variable Foraging Demand” (VFD) studies (see Table 1).

Furthermore, we utilize the bonnet ma- caque, an Old World monkey, which possesses greater phylogenetic proximity to humans than the New World monkeys from previous studies. The two lines are be- lieved to have split from each other approximately 35 million years ago [10]. The bonnet macaque (Macaca radiata) is an Old World monkey that reaches sexual maturity at 5 - 6 years of age for males, and after about 3 years of age ± 4 months for females [11,12]. From our experience in our colony, se- nescence in bonnet monkeys begins at around twelve to fourteen years. Here, we statistically analyze the rela- tionship of age and neurogenesis, as reflected by the number of doublecortin (DCX) expressing cells, in the subgranular zone of the dentate gyrus in subjects ranging from 3.5 to 17 years of age. 2. Methods 2.1. Fluoxetine Study Socially housed adult, female bonnet macaque monkeys were randomized into five groups: Control-Placebo (n = 3), Control-Drug (n = 3), Stress-Placebo (n = 3), Stress-Drug (n = 5), and Radiation-Stress-Drug (n = 4). The Control groups were exposed to non-stressful ambi- ent conditions for 15 weeks, while the Stress groups were exposed to chronic stress involving social isolation for 2 days a week and home-cage reunion for 5 days a week for a total of 15 weeks. During this period, half of the controls (Control-Drug) and half of the stressed subjects (Stress-Drug) were administered fluoxetine in its once weekly preparation (Prozac Weekly from Eli Lilly Co.) at a dose of 13.5 mg/kg/week via nasogastric tubing (NGT), while the remaining animals (Control-Placebo and Stress-Placebo) received saline placebo also via NGT once a week for 15 weeks. Both treatments were administered under ketamine/xylazine sedation. The Ra- diated-Stress-Drug (XRT) group received bilateral tem- poral lobe gamma-irradiation (20 or 30 Gy fractionated over 10 sessions) under ketamine/xylazine sedation daily for two weeks. Following two weeks of rest, the XRT group was exposed to concurrent stress and drug admini- stration (identical to the Stress-Drug group) for 15 weeks. All five groups were sacrificed using perfusion methods on week 15 [13]. 2.2. ECS Study Single-housed adult male bonnet monkeys were random- ized to two groups. The ECS group (n = 6) received 12 administrations of high dose (350% above seizure thre- shold) brief-pulse (1.5msec) bilateral ECS under general anesthesia (methohexital) and muscle relaxation (suc- cinylcholine) over a 4-week period. The SHAM group (n = 6) only received anesthesia and muscle relaxation over this 4-week period. Four ECS, and 4 SHAM subjects were transcardially perfused immediately following the study (Immediate-sacrifice group) while 2 ECS and 2 SHAM were perfused 4 weeks after the completion of treatment (Delayed-sacrifice group). 2.3. Variable Foraging Demand (VFD) Study Single-housed adult male bonnet macaques that were exposed to maternal variable foraging demand (VFD group) or normal rearing [low foraging demand (LFD group)] during infancy were sacrificed in order to exam- ine neurogenesis rates. The VFD group consisted of adult bonnets that were subjected to VFD for four months during infancy (first year of life). Rearing stress stemmed from maternal uncertainty when mother-infant dyads were exposed to Variable Foraging Demand (VFD). During this period, the LFD group was exposed to nor- mal rearing conditions stemming from non-stressful for- aging conditions. Previous studies have shown that VFD-reared offspring manifest behavioral and biological abnormalities reflective of mood and anxiety disorders that persist into adulthood [14,15]. 2.4. Ziprasidone Study Single-housed female adult bonnet macaques were ran- domized into two cohorts. The first cohort (n = 12) con- Copyright © 2013 SciRes. NM

In the second cohort (n = 10), all subjects were exposed to stressful conditions. The Drug group (n = 5) received ziprasidone whereas the control received placebo. The control groups were exposed to non-stressful ambient conditions while the stress group was exposed to re- peated separation stress. The drug groups received zipra- sidone 4.5 mg/kg daily five times/week [16]. 2.5. Immunohistology In all studies, subjects were sacrificed by transcardiac saline perfusions and the brains were immediately ex- tracted and post-fixed. The left hippocampus was sec- tioned into 40 µm free floating slices using a freezing microtome and stored in 40 wells with cryoprotectant and sodium azide (NaN3) at 20˚C. These sections were immuno-labeled to detect neurogenesis and different stages of neuronal maturation. Immature neurons were indicated by the expression of doublecortin (DCX). The age of DCX-expressing neurons is based on data gener- ated in rodent studies [17]. In nonhuman primates, DCX- expressing cells with analogous morphology seem to be 2 - 3 fold older [18-20]. For example, DCX-expressing neurons with mature dendritic morphology (stage 3) may be 8-12 weeks old in the monkey. Raters blinded to treatment condition counted all DCX-expressing cells in the subgranular zone (SGZ) of the dentate gyrus. To enable counting of cell clusters, the cells are examined at ×100 magnification under oil im- mersion, omitting cells in the outermost focal plane. The densities of labeled cells are calculated by dividing the total number of cells counted by the volume of SGZ, at that level (outlined area × 40 µm). In order to generate true density, we divided the total number of cells identi- fied by the total volume examined. The total number of stained cells, in contrast to the density, is relatively im- pervious to the effects of swelling or shrinkage of tissues. In order to determine the total number of cells identified, we employed systematic uniform random sampling, so that all rostrocaudal levels have an equal chance of being counted and assuring that no tissue was lost. 2.6. Statistical Analyses The first step was to generate means and standard devia- tions of the five different studies that were used for the examination of the relationship between age and neuro- genesis for neurogenesis rates, age and body weight. The studies were compared using a one-way ANOVA and compared individually using post-hoc Newman-Keuls testing. Sex distribution for the overall study was as- sessed using a Chi-square analysis. Significant effects were to be used as a control variable in subsequent gen- eral linear models. Because each of the five studies were performed within a single sex, there was a confound be- tween study and sex. Thus, sex could not be used as a factor when the study was used and separate general lin- ear models were implemented. A final factor, coding whether or not a subject was an experimental control, was used for the general linear models. This factor was used to control for any potential bias introduced by ef- fects on neurogenesis induced by experimental manipu- lation. For continuous measures analyses, univariate correla- tions were performed using Pearson’s Correlation Coef- ficient regressing age versus neurogenesis and weight versus neurogenesis. To follow up the latter analysis, a Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient was performed only in the control subjects to demonstrate that the relationship between age and neurogenesis was not dependent on potential bias introduced by experimental subjects. A general linear model was then employed using dou- blecortin (DCX) labeling as the dependent variable, en- tering study and experimental status (control versus non-control) as categorical variables, and age and weight as continuous predictor variables. Sex could not be ex- amined in this model as it was confounded by study. Therefore, a second general linear model was performed where study number was omitted as a variable and sex was included as a categorical variable. For categorical measures analyses, the subjects were split into two age groups with the median age of <9 years of age as the “younger” group and 9 years or greater for the “older” group. The median split would correspond to middle adulthood in humans. The two groups were com- pared by t-tests and then Pearson’s correlations were performed in each group separately. Probability values were deemed significant at p ≤ 0.05, two-tailed. Standard deviation was taken into account throughout all analyses. 3. Results As a first step, we examined the means and standard de- viations of the doublecortin staining rates for the five different studies that were used for the examination of the relationship between age and neurogenesis. As can be observed in Table 2, there is a marked difference be- tween studies [F(4;67) = 4.24; p = 0.004]. On post-hoc Newman-Keuls analysis, it was revealed that the “ziprasidone” group exhibited neurogenesis rates that were significantly reduced in comparison to the “ECS” group and the “VFD1” group (p < 0.05). “Study” was therefore used as a covariate for general linear analyses. A similar significant effect was noted for age in that the ziprasidone study exhibited increases in age versus the remaining subjects (Post-hoc Newman-Keuls: p < Copyright © 2013 SciRes. NM

None of the other groups re- vealed significant comparisons between-groups. This again was controlled for by using “study” as a control variable. Moreover, a significant weight effect was observed. On Newman-Keuls post-hoc testing, significant differ- ences (p < 0.05) are noted between all study groups ex- cept between the “fluoxetine” and “ziprasidone” studies and between the “ECS” and “VFD2” study. Thus, “weight” was used as a covariate. For sex distribution, 33 subjects were male whereas 37 were female. No difference in sex distribution was noted, but because of potential sex differences, sex was used as a factor or covariate, depending on the analysis. Figure 1.

Continuous Measures For univariate Pearson’s correlations, weight did not correlate significantly with neurogenesis rates as re- flected by doublecortin (r = −0.10; N = 72; p = 0.39) whereas age did correlate significantly with neurogenesis rates (r = −0.47; N = 71; p < 0.001) (see Figure 1). Given the non-linear relationship between age and neu- rogenesis rates, we examined this relationship using uni- variate non-linear regression analysis, which revealed a numerically more robust relationship [F (1;69) = 19.88; p = 0.00003] in comparison to the linear model (see Figure 1).

Age predicted doublecortin expression (see Table 3), independent of all the aforementioned variables. As mentioned, sex is confounded with study, so sex had to be included into an additional analysis. There is a trend for study effect which in all likelihood represented lower doublecortin expression in the ziprasidone study. fect was still evident when controlling for sex (Table 4 ). In this second analysis, a trend for a weight effect was also observed and is consistent with our previous paper examining correlation between weight and neurogenesis in the subjects in the “VFD1 study” [21]. A Pearson cor- relation run only in the control subjects revealed a sig- nificant inverse relationship between age and neurogene- sis reflected as doublecortin staining [r = −0.57; N = 18; p = 0.014]. Therefore, we demonstrate that age signifi- We then conducted the analysis without study number, in order to examine for potential sex effects.

Categorical Measures When the subjects were split into two age groups with the median age of <9 years of age as the “younger” group and 9 years or greater for the “older” group, the younger group showed significantly more cells expressing dou- blecortin in comparison to the older group [139.55 ± 122.86 in younger subjects versus 49.43 ± 57.42 (N = 51) in older subjects; (t-value = 4.22; df = 69; p = 0.00007)] (Figure 2). Correlation analyses in each group consid- ered separately reveals no age effect in the younger group but a significant inverse age effect is observed in the older age group (r = −0.38; N = 51; p = 0.005). These data suggest a linear fall off of neurogenesis following full adulthood but less of an age effect during young adulthood. 4. Discussion The results of this study show that with advancing age, there is a decline in neurogenesis within the subgranular Figure 2.

Our study is consistent with the results of earlier smaller studies of New World Monkeys that show an inverse relationship between neurogenesis within dentate gyrus and age [8]. However, we found that instead of a linear decline in neurogenesis throughout the bonnet macaque lifespan, we observed a non-significant relationship between age and new hippocampal neurons expressing doublecortin for subjects less than 9 years old (corresponding to young and full adulthood). However, there was a linear signifi- cant decline for subjects 9 years or greater (middle age and senescence). This suggests that neurogenesis contin- ues steadily in the Bonnet macaque throughout lifespan until middle age and then begins to decline through mid- dle age to senescence. The reason for the difference be- tween our study and other studies that indicates a linear decline across the full age range [8] is unclear but may involve species differences and phylum (Old World ver- sus New World monkeys) and the former being more closely related to humans. The trend of weight effect that was observed when con- trolling for sex was consistent with our previous paper examining correlation between weight and neurogenesis in the subjects in the “VFD1 study” [21]. Statistical analysis revealed that there was an overlap between the effect of study and age. This limitation in the results was partially due to the variation of the mean ages between each study, and was especially prominent with the sub- jects of the ziprasidone (Geodon) study. However, we tried to minimize this effect by controlling for “study” as one of our covariates. Furthermore, excluding the zipra- sidone study data from the analysis did not yield a sig- nificant difference. Mechanisms of Age Related Decline in Neurogenesis Aging induces important changes in neuroendocrinology and neurochemistry of the brain that involve the synthe- sis of neurotransmitters, growth factors, neuropeptides and steroids [22]. Age-related decline in neurogenesis can be explained by such aforementioned changes in local and systemic environments that no longer provide the necessary mitotic stimuli for cell proliferation. Pre- vious studies show that inducers of neurogenesis de- crease with age, whereas signals that interfere with neu- rogenesis increase with age. Indeed, age-related de- creases in neurogenesis can be prevented by the deacti- vation of these positive regulators [23-25]. This effect is thought to occur by an increase in the number of cells within the dentate gyrus, rather than the deceleration of a slowed cell cycle. The additional dividing cells could come from precursors that have become quiescent over time, i.e., cells that are not dividing but have retained their capacity to divide [26].

Relationship between Age and Neurogenesis in Old World Monkeys 177 Glucocorticoids have been shown to be among the most potent negative regulators of neurogenesis. Gluco- corticoids are released into the blood circulation follow- ing the activation of the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, primarily by stress. Acute [27] or chronic [28] treatment with corticosterone, the main glucocorti- coid in rodents, has been shown to be a strong negative regulator of cell proliferation in the adult dentate gyrus. Corticosterone-mediated downregulation of cell prolif- eration in the adult dentate gyrus has also been accom- plished by exposing mice [29,30] to various paradigms of stress. Removal of the stress stimulus, however, can completely reverse the changes in neuronal differentia- tion in 3 weeks [30]. Furthermore, in adult rodents, adre- nalectomy stimulates cell proliferation in the dentate gyrus [31]. Chronically elevated glucocorticoid levels, therefore, are thought to be responsible, in part, for reduced neuro- genesis in the aging dentate gyrus. Evidence for this comes from rodent studies that show elevated basal lev- els of corticosterone mainly during the dark phase of the circadian cycle, and prolonged secretion after stress. Both basal and stress-induced corticosterone secretion is blocked by an adrenalectomy in mid-adulthood, and is associated with increased cell proliferation and neuro- genesis in senescent animals [32]. When adrenalectomy is performed on senescent rats, there is a decrease in cor- ticosterone levels and increased cell proliferation in the dentate gyrus [23,33]. There are also changes in the re- sponse to corticosterone with age. Aged rats have higher expression of glucocorticoid receptors in early precursors, and calretinin-positive immature neurons, which are de- void of glucocorticoid receptors or mineralocorticoid receptor expression in younger mice, come to acquire both receptors in old age [34]. Thus, corticosteroid medi- ated decline in neurogenesis in older ages may operate via increased basal levels, as well as increased sensitivity to hormone action. Numerous neurotransmitters have also been shown to modulate neurogenesis. Glutamate is a negative regulator of neurogenesis [35,36]. NMDA receptor antagonism can reverse the decline of neurogenesis in the aged brain [37]. Furthermore, it was shown that the effects of corticos- terone on cell division could be blocked by treatments that activate or inactivate NMDA receptors suggesting that glutamate works via a common pathway with corti- costeroids [38]. GABA was also shown to be a negative regulator of neurogenesis. In aged animals, infusion of Preg-S, a negative allosteric regulator of GABA binding, considerably increases the rate of cell proliferation and neurogenesis [39]. GABAergic neurotransmission, more- over, becomes elevated with age [40]. Taken together, this evidence suggests that decreases in GABA may po- tentially contribute to age-related decline in neurogene- sis. Lastly, serotonin has been shown to modulate neuro- genesis, mainly through the action of the presynaptic and postsynaptic 5HT1a [41]. Studies that show decreased serotonin levels, as well as 5HT1a binding declines with ageing, supporting the idea that decreased serotonergic activity also contributes to the decline in neurogenesis with age. In addition to hormones and neurotransmitters, numerous neurotrophic factors including EGF, IGF-1, VEGF, FGF-2, and BDNF have been shown to decrease in middle age and have been associated with decreased cell proliferation in the dentate gyrus and the subven- tricular zone [42-45]. The studies conducted thus far suggest that multiple neuropeptides and other mediators exert a deleterious effect on neurogenesis in the hippocampus. However, it is also possible that with age, changes occur to the pre- cursor cells themselves, such that they no longer can re- spond to the normal growth stimuli. While current data do suggest that the main change in precursor cells that occurs with age is their decrease in rate of proliferation, the mechanisms responsible for this effect are unclear. Recent studies using stem cell marker SOX-2 to differen- tiate stem cells from Brdu-labeled proliferating cells show that the overall number of Sox-2 labeled cells re- mains constant throughout the lifespan while the number of cells expressing endogenous proliferation marker de- clines significantly with age [44,46]. The results of this study suggest that the decline in neurogenesis rates is due to the increased quiescence of active precursor cells, rather than the progressive loss of the total number of precursors. A further comparison of the Sox-2/BrdU data with Sox-2/Ki67 in this study suggests that there is a lengthening in cell cycle that occurs with age. Thus, with age, both the increased quiescence, as well as lengthen- ing of the cell cycle may contribute to the decline in the rate of neurogenesis. 5.
