Frailty is an age-related syndrome that drives multiple physiological system impairments in some older adults, and its pathophysiological mechanisms remain unclear. We evaluated whether frailty-related biological processes could impair stem cell compartments, specifically the renal stem compartment, given that kidney dysfunctions are frequent in frailty. A well-characterized in vitro nephrosphere model of human adult renal stem/progenitor cells has been instrumental to and was appropriate for verifying this hypothesis in our current research. Evaluating the effects of plasma from older individuals with frailty (frail plasma) on allogeneic renal stem/progenitor cells, we showed significant functional impairment and nuclear DNA damage in the treated cells of the renal stem compartment. The analysis of the frail plasma revealed mitochondrial functional impairment associated with the activation of oxidative stress and a unique inflammatory mediator profile in frail individuals. In addition, the plasma of frail subjects also contained the highest percentage of DNA-damaged autologous circulating hematopoietic progenitor/stem cells. The integration of both molecular and functional data obtained allowed us to discern patterns associated with frailty status, irrespective of the comorbidities present in the frail individuals. The data obtained converged toward biological conditions that in frailty caused renal and hematopoietic impairment of stem cells, highlighting the possibility of concomitant exhaustion of several stem compartments.
