Abstract
BACKGROUND As the largest organ in the human body, the skin is continuously exposed to intrinsic and extrinsic stimuli that impact its functionality and morphology with aging. Skin aging entails dysregulation of skin cells and loss, fragmentation, or fragility of extracellular matrix fibers that are manifested macroscopically by wrinkling, laxity, and pigmentary abnormalities. Age-related skin changes are the focus of many surgical and nonsurgical treatments aimed at improving overall skin appearance and health. SUMMARY As a hallmark of aging, cellular senescence, an essentially irreversible cell cycle arrest with apoptosis resistance and a secretory phenotype, manifests across skin layers by affecting epidermal and dermal cells. Knowledge of skin-specific senescent cells, such as melanocytes (epidermal aging) and fibroblasts (dermal aging), will promote our understanding of age-related skin changes and how to optimize patient outcomes in esthetic procedures. KEY MESSAGES This review provides an overview of skin aging in the context of cellular senescence and discusses senolytic intervention strategies to selectively target skin senescent cells that contribute to premature skin aging.

Abstract
Background In recent years, significant molecules have been found in gastric cancer research. However, their precise roles in the disease's development and progression remain unclear. Given gastric cancer's heterogeneity, prognosis prediction is challenging. This study aims to assess patient prognosis and immune therapy efficacy using multiple key molecules. Method The WGCNA algorithm was employed to identify modules of genes closely related to immunity. A prognostic model was established using the Lasso-Cox method to predict patients' prognosis. Single-sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA) was conducted to quantify the relative abundance of 16 immune cell types and 13 immune functions. The relationship between risk score and TMB, MSI, immune checkpoints, and DNA repair genes was examined to predict the effectiveness of immune therapy. GO and KEGG analyses were performed to explore potential pathways and mechanisms associated with the genes of interest. Single-cell RNA sequencing was utilized to investigate the expression patterns of key genes in different cell types. Results Through the WGCNA algorithm and Lasso-Cox algorithm selected KL, SERPINE1, and STK40 as key genes for constructing the prognostic model. The SSGSEA algorithm was employed to evaluate the infiltration of immune cells and immune functions in different patients, and their association with the risk score was investigated. The high-risk group exhibited lower TMB and MSI compared to the low-risk group. MMR and immune checkpoint analysis revealed a significant correlation between the risk score and multiple molecules. Finally, we also believe that STK40 is the most critical senescence-related gene affecting the progression of gastric cancer. In vitro experiments showed that ROS accumulation and cell proliferation ability of gastric cancer cells were impaired when STK40 was knocked down. Conclusion In summary, we've constructed a prognostic model utilizing key genes for gastric cancer prognosis, while also showcasing its efficacy in predicting patient response to immunotherapy.

Abstract
Cellular senescence represents an irreversible state of cell cycle arrest induced by various stimuli strongly associated with aging and several chronic ailments. In recent years, studies have increasingly suggested that the accumulation of senescent cells is an important contributor to the decline of organ metabolism, ultimately resulting in metabolic diseases. Conversely, the elimination of senescent cells can alleviate or postpone the onset and progression of metabolic diseases. Thus, a close relationship between senescent cells and metabolic diseases is found, and targeting senescent cells has emerged as an alternative therapy for the treatment of metabolic diseases. In this review, we summarize the role of cellular senescence in metabolic diseases, explore relevant therapeutic strategies for metabolic diseases by removing senescent cells, and provide new insights into the treatment of metabolic diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prolonged treatment of HER2+ breast cancer with lapatinib (LAP) causes cellular senescence and acquired drug resistance, which often associating with poor prognosis for patients. We aim to explore the correlation between cellular senescence and LAP resistance in HER2+ breast cancer, screen for molecular marker of reversible senescence, and construct targeted nanobubbles for ultrasound molecular imaging to dynamically evaluate LAP resistance. METHODS AND RESULTS In this study, we established a new cellular model of reversible cellular senescence using LAP and HER2+ breast cancer cells and found that reversible senescence contributed to LAP resistance in HER2+ breast cancer. Then, we identified ecto-5'-nucleotidase (NT5E) as a marker of reversible senescence in HER2+ breast cancer. Based on this, we constructed NT5E-targeted nanobubbles (NT5E-FITC-NBs) as a new molecular imaging modality which could both target reversible senescent cells and be used for ultrasound imaging. NT5E-FITC-NBs showed excellent physical and imaging characteristics. As an ultrasound contrast agent, NT5E-FITC-NBs could accurately identify reversible senescent cells both in vitro and in vivo. CONCLUSIONS Our data demonstrate that cellular senescence-based ultrasound-targeted imaging can identify reversible senescence and evaluate LAP resistance effectively in HER2+ breast cancer cells, which has the potential to improve cancer treatment outcomes by altering therapeutic strategies ahead of aggressive recurrences.

Abstract
Two decades ago, Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes coined the term chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD) to describe the syndrome of biochemical, bone and extra-skeletal calcification abnormalities that occur in patients with CKD. CKD-MBD is a prevalent complication and contributes to the excessively high burden of fractures and cardiovascular disease, loss of quality of life and premature mortality in patients with CKD. Thus far, therapy has focused primarily on phosphate retention, abnormal vitamin D metabolism and parathyroid hormone disturbances, but these strategies have largely proved unsuccessful, thus calling for paradigm-shifting concepts and innovative therapeutic approaches. Interorgan crosstalk is increasingly acknowledged to have an important role in health and disease. Accordingly, mounting evidence suggests a role for both the immune system and the gut microbiome in bone and vascular biology. Gut dysbiosis, compromised gut epithelial barrier and immune cell dysfunction are prominent features of the uraemic milieu. These alterations might contribute to the inflammatory state observed in CKD and could have a central role in the pathogenesis of CKD-MBD. The emerging fields of osteoimmunology and osteomicrobiology add another level of complexity to the pathogenesis of CKD-MBD, but also create novel therapeutic opportunities.

Abstract
Renal fibrosis is the final stage of most progressive kidney diseases. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with high comorbidity and mortality. Thus, preventing fibrosis and thereby preserving kidney function increases the quality of life and prolongs the survival of patients with CKD. Many processes such as inflammation or metabolic stress modulate the progression of kidney fibrosis. Hypoxia has also been implicated in the pathogenesis of renal fibrosis, and oxygen sensing in the kidney is of outstanding importance for the body. The dysregulation of oxygen sensing in the diseased kidney is best exemplified by the loss of stimulation of erythropoietin production from interstitial cells in the fibrotic kidney despite anemia. Furthermore, hypoxia is present in acute or chronic kidney diseases and may affect all cell types present in the kidney including tubular and glomerular cells as well as resident immune cells. Pro- and antifibrotic effects of the transcription factors hypoxia-inducible factors 1 and 2 have been described in a plethora of animal models of acute and chronic kidney diseases, but recent advances in sequencing technologies now allow for novel and deeper insights into the role of hypoxia and its cell type-specific effects on the progression of renal fibrosis, especially in humans. Here, we review existing literature on how hypoxia impacts the development and progression of renal fibrosis.

Abstract
Aging-related diseases are closely associated with the state of inflammation, which is known as "inflammaging." Senescent cells are metabolically active, as exemplified by the secretion of inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors, which is termed the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Epigenetic regulation, especially the structural regulation of chromatin, is closely linked to the regulation of SASP. In our previous study, the suppressor of variegation 3-9 homolog 1 (SUV39H1) was elucidated to interact with Lhx8 and determine the cell fate of mesenchyme stem cells. However, the function of SUV39H1 during aging and the underlying mechanism of its epigenetic regulation remains controversial. Therefore, the C57BL/6 J CAG-Cre; SUV39H1fl/fl knockout mice and irradiation-induced cellular senescence model were built in this study to deepen the understanding of epigenetic regulation by SUV39H1 and its relation to SASP. In vivo and in vitro studies demonstrated that SUV39H1 decreased with aging and served as an inhibitor of SASP, especially IL-6, MCP-1, and Vcam-1, by altering H3K9me3 enrichment in their promoter region. These results provide new insights into the epigenetic regulation of SASP.

Abstract
Cellular senescence increases with aging and results in secretion of pro-inflammatory factors that induce local and systemic tissue dysfunction. We conducted the first preclinical trial in a relevant middle-aged nonhuman primate (NHP) model to allow estimation of the main translatable effects of the senolytic combination dasatinib (D) and quercetin (Q), with and without caloric restriction (CR). A multi-systemic survey of age-related changes, including those on immune cells, adipose tissue, the microbiome, and biomarkers of systemic organ and metabolic health are reported. Age-, weight-, sex-, and glycemic control-matched NHPs (D + Q, n = 9; vehicle [VEH] n = 7) received two consecutive days of D + Q (5 mg/kg + 50 mg/kg) monthly for 6 months, where in month six, a 10% CR was implemented in both D + Q and VEH NHPs to induce equal weight reductions. D + Q reduced senescence marker gene expressions in adipose tissue and circulating PAI-1 and MMP-9. Improvements were observed in immune cell types with significant anti-inflammatory shifts and reductions in microbial translocation biomarkers, despite stable microbiomes. Blood urea nitrogen showed robust improvements with D + Q. CR resulted in significant positive body composition changes in both groups with further improvement in immune cell profiles and decreased GDF15 (p = 0.05), and the interaction of D + Q and CR dramatically reduced glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (p = 0.03). This work indicates that 6 months of intermittent D + Q exposure is safe and may combat inflammaging via immune benefits and improved intestinal barrier function. We also saw renal benefits, and with CR, improved metabolic health. These data are intended to provide direction for the design of larger controlled intervention trials in older patients.

Abstract
Drosophila melanogaster is a valuable model organism for a wide range of biological exploration. The well-known advantages of D. melanogaster include its relatively simple biology, the ease with which it is genetically modified, the relatively low financial and time costs associated with their short gestation and life cycles, and the large number of offspring they produce per generation. D. melanogaster has facilitated the discovery of many significant insights into the pathology of Parkinson's disease (PD) and has served as an excellent preclinical model of PD-related therapeutic discovery. In this review, we provide an overview of the major D. melanogaster models of PD, each of which provide unique insights into PD-relevant pathology and therapeutic targets. These models are discussed in the context of their past, current, and future potential use for studying the utility of secondary metabolites as therapeutic agents in PD. Over the last decade, senolytics have garnered an exponential interest in their ability to mitigate a broad spectrum of diseases, including PD. Therefore, an emphasis is placed on the senolytic and senomorphic properties of secondary metabolites. It is expected that D. melanogaster will continue to be critical in the effort to understand and improve treatment of PD, including their involvement in translational studies focused on secondary metabolites.

Abstract
Being the major cellular component of highly dynamic tissue, endometrial stromal cells (EnSCs) are exposed to cycles of proliferation upon hormonal stimulation, which might pose risks for the accumulation of mutations and malignization. However, endometrial stromal tumors are rare and uncommon. The present study uncovered defense mechanisms that might underlie the resistance of EnSCs against oncogenic transformation. All experiments were performed in vitro using the following methods: FACS, WB, RT-PCR, IF, molecular cloning, lentiviral transduction, and CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing. We revealed that the expression of the mutant HRASG12V leads to EnSC senescence. We experimentally confirmed the inability of HRASG12V-expressing EnSCs to bypass senescence and resume proliferation, even upon estrogen stimulation. At the molecular level, the induction of oncogene-induced senescence (OIS) was accompanied by activation of the MEK/ERK, PI3K/AKT, p53/p21WAF/CIP/Rb, and p38/p16INK4a/Rb pathways; however, inhibiting either pathway did not prevent cell cycle arrest. PTEN loss was established as an additional feature of HRASG12V-induced senescence in EnSCs. Using CRISPR-Cas9-mediated PTEN knockout, we identified PTEN loss-induced senescence as a reserve molecular mechanism to prevent the transformation of HRASG12V-expressing EnSCs. The present study highlights oncogene-induced senescence as an antitumor defense mechanism of EnSCs controlled by multiple backup molecular pathways.

Abstract
Caveolin-1 (Cav-1) induces cellular senescence by reducing extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)1/2 phosphorylation and activating p53 via inhibition of mouse double minute 2 homolog (MDM2) and sirtuin 1 (Sirt1), promoting cell cycle arrest and decreasing fibroblast proliferation and collagen synthesis. High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatment increases collagen synthesis, rejuvenating skin. Using H2O2-induced senescent fibroblasts and the skin of 12-month-old mice, we tested the hypothesis that HIFU increases collagen production through Cav-1 modulation. HIFU was administered at 0.3, 0.5, or 0.7 J in the LINEAR and DOT modes. In both models, HIFU administration decreased Cav-1 levels, increased ERK1/2 phosphorylation, and decreased the binding of Cav-1 with both MDM2 and Sirt1. HIFU administration decreased p53 activation (acetylated p53) and p21 levels and increased cyclin D1, cyclin-dependent kinase 2, and proliferating cell nuclear antigen levels in both models. HIFU treatment increased collagen and elastin expression, collagen fiber accumulation, and elastin fiber density in aging skin, with 0.5 J in LINEAR mode resulting in the most prominent effects. HIFU treatment increased collagen synthesis to levels similar to those in Cav-1-silenced senescent fibroblasts. Our results suggest that HIFU administration increases dermal collagen and elastin fibers in aging skin via Cav-1 modulation and reduced p53 activity.

Abstract
Through whole-genome bisulfite sequencing and RNA-seq, we determined the potential impact of autophagy in regulating DNA methylation in Arabidopsis, providing a solid foundation for further understanding the molecular mechanism of autophagy and how plants cope with nitrogen deficiency. A total of 335 notable differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were discovered in wild-type Arabidopsis (Col-0-N) and an autophagic mutant cultivated under nitrogen starvation (atg5-1-N). Among these, 142 DEGs were associated with hypomethylated regions (hypo-DMRs) and were upregulated. This suggests a correlation between DNA demethylation and the ability of Arabidopsis to cope with nitrogen deficiency. Examination of the hypo-DMR-linked upregulated DEGs indicated that the expression of MYB101, an ABA pathway regulator, may be regulated by DNA demethylation and the recruitment of transcription factors (TFs; ERF57, ERF105, ERF48, and ERF111), which may contribute to the growth arrest induced by abscisic acid (ABA). Additionally, we found that DNA methylation might impact the biosynthesis of salicylic acid (SA). The promoter region of ATGH3.12 (PBS3), a key enzyme in SA synthesis, was hypomethylated, combined with overexpression of PBS3 and its potential TF AT3G46070, suggesting that autophagy defects may lead to SA-activated senescence, depending on DNA demethylation. These findings suggest that DNA hypomethylation may impact the mechanism by which Arabidopsis autophagy mutants (atg5-1) respond to nitrogen deficiency, specifically in relation to ABA and SA regulation. Our evaluation of hormone levels verified that these two hormones are significantly enriched under nitrogen deficiency in atg5-1-N compared to Col-0-N.

Abstract
Cellular senescence is a state of irreversible cell cycle arrest that is triggered and controlled by various external and/or internal factors. Among them, the regulation of senescence-associated genes is an important molecular event that plays a role in senescence. The regulation of gene expression can be achieved by various types of modulating mechanisms, and RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are commonly known as critical regulators targeting a global range of transcripts. RBPs bind to RNA-binding motifs of the target transcripts and are involved in post-transcriptional processes such as RNA transport, stabilization, splicing, and decay. These RBPs may also play critical roles in cellular senescence by regulating the expression of senescence-associated genes. The biological functions of RBPs in controlling cellular senescence are being actively studied. Herein, we summarized the RBPs that influence cellular senescence, particularly by regulating processes such as the senescence-associated secretory phenotype, cell cycle, and mitochondrial function.

Abstract
We are facing a growing aging population, along with increasing pressure on health systems, caused by the impact of chronic co-morbidities (i.e. cancer, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases) and functional disabilities as people age. Relatively simple preventive lifestyle interventions, such as dietary restriction and physical exercise, are important contributors to active and healthy aging in the general population. However, as shown in model organisms or in 'in vitro' conditions, lifestyle-independent interventions may have additional health benefits and can even be conceived as possible reversers of the aging process. Thus, pharmaceutical laboratories, research institutes, and universities are putting more and more effort into finding new molecular pathways and druggable targets to develop gerotherapeutics. One approach is to target the driving mechanisms of aging, some of which, like cellular senescence and impaired autophagy, we discussed in an update on the biology of aging at AgingFit 2023 in Lille, France. We underline the importance of carefully and extensively testing senotherapeutics, given the pleiotropism and heterogeneity of targeted senescent cells within different organs, at different time frames. Other druggable targets emerging from new putative mechanisms, like those based on transcriptome imbalance, nucleophagy, protein phosphatase depletion, glutamine metabolism, or seno-antigenicity, have been evidenced by recent preclinical studies in classical models of aging but need to be validated in humans. Finally, we highlight several approaches in the discovery of biomarkers of healthy aging, as well as for the prediction of neurodegenerative diseases and the evaluation of rejuvenation strategies.

Kidney Int Rep 2023; 8:1841-1851. [PMID: 37705914 PMCID: PMC10496020 DOI: 10.1016/j.ekir.2023.06.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2023] [Revised: 06/02/2023] [Accepted: 06/12/2023] [Indexed: 09/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction Mesenchymal stem/stromal cell-derived extracellular vesicles (MSC-EVs) are paracrine vectors with therapeutic functions comparable to their parent cells. However, it remains unclear if donor obesity affects their therapeutic functions. We tested the hypothesis that the curative effect of human adipose tissue-derived MSC-EVs (A-MSC-EVs) is blunted by obesity. Methods MSC-EVs were isolated by ultracentrifugation from mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) collected from abdominal subcutaneous fat of obese and lean human subjects (obese and lean-MSC-EVs, respectively) and injected into the aorta of mice 2 weeks after renal artery stenosis (RAS) induction. Magnetic resonance imaging studies were conducted 2 weeks after MSC-EVs delivery to determine renal function. The effect of MSC-EVs on tissue injury was assessed by histology and gene expression of inflammatory factors, including interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α). Oxidative damage, macrophage infiltration, plasma renin, and hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) were also assessed. Results Tracking showed that MSC-EVs localized in the kidney tissue, including glomeruli and tubules. All MSC-EVs decreased systolic blood pressure (SBP) and plasma renin and improved the poststenotic kidney (STK) volume, but obese-MSC-EVs were less effective than lean-MSC-EVs in improving medullary hypoxia, fibrosis, and tubular injury. Lean-MSC-EVs decreased inflammation, whereas obesity attenuated this effect. Only lean-MSC-EVs decreased STK cortical HIF-1α expression. Conclusion Obesity attenuates the antihypoxia, antifibrosis, antiinflammation, and tubular repair functions of human MSC-EVs in chronic ischemic kidney disease. These observations may have implications for the self-repair potency of obese subjects and for the use of autologous MSC-EVs in regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Aging results from gradual accumulation of damage to the cellular functions caused by biochemical processes such as oxidative stress, inflammation-driven prolonged cellular senescence state, immune system malfunction, psychological stress, and epigenetic changes due to exposure to environmental toxins. Plant-derived bioactive molecules have been shown to ameliorate the damage from oxidative stress. This research seeks to uncover the mechanisms of action of how phytochemicals from fruit/berry/vegetable (FBV) juice powder mitigate oxidative stress. The study uses a computational systems biology approach to (1) identify biomolecular pathways of oxidative stress; (2) identify phytochemicals from FBV juice powder and their specific action on oxidative stress mechanisms; and (3) quantitatively estimate the effects of FBV juice powder bioactive compounds on oxidative stress. The compounds in FBV affected two oxidative stress molecular pathways: (1) reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and (2) antioxidant enzyme production. Six bioactive compounds including cyanidin, delphinidin, ellagic acid, kaempherol, malvidin, and rutin in FBV significantly lowered production of ROS and increased the production of antioxidant enzymes such as catalase, heme oxygenase-1, superoxide dismutase, and glutathione peroxidase. FBV juice powder provides a combination of bioactive compounds that attenuate aging by affecting multiple pathways of oxidative stress.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive condition of kidney dysfunction due to diverse causes of injury. In healthy kidneys, protein-bound uremic toxins (PBUTs) are cleared from the systemic circulation by proximal tubule cells through the concerted action of plasma membrane transporters that facilitate their urinary excretion, but the endogenous metabolites are hardly removed with kidney dysfunction and may contribute to CKD progression. Accumulating evidence suggests that senescence of kidney tubule cells influences kidney fibrosis, the common endpoint for CKD with an excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM). Senescence is a special state of cells characterized by permanent cell cycle arrest and limitation of proliferation, which promotes fibrosis by releasing senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) factors. The accumulation of PBUTs in CKD causes oxidative stress and increases the production of inflammatory (SASP) factors that could trigger fibrosis. Recent studies gave some clues that PBUTs may also promote senescence in kidney tubular cells. This review provides an overview on how senescence contributes to CKD, the involvement of PBUTs in this process, and how kidney senescence can be studied. Finally, some suggestions for future therapeutic options for CKD while targeting senescence are given.

Abstract
Inflammation plays a pivotal role in the resolution of infection or tissue damage. In addition, inflammation is considered a hallmark of aging, which in turn compromises wound healing. Thymbra capitata is an aromatic plant, whose infusion is traditionally used as an anti-inflammatory and wound-healing agent. In this study, a T. capitata infusion was prepared and characterized by HPLC-PDA-ESI-MSn and its safety profile determined by the resazurin metabolic assay. The anti-inflammatory potential was revealed in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated macrophages by assessing nitric oxide (NO) release and levels of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and the interleukin-1β pro-form (pro-IL-1β). Wound-healing capacity was determined using the scratch assay. The activity of senescence-associated β-galactosidase was used to unveil the anti-senescent potential, along with the nuclear accumulation of yH2AX and p21 levels. The antiradical potential was assessed by DPPH and ABTS scavenging assays. The infusion contains predominantly rosmarinic acid and salvianolic acids. The extract decreased NO, iNOS, and pro-IL-1β levels. Interestingly, the extract promoted wound healing and decreased β-galactosidase activity, as well as yH2AX and p21 levels. The present work highlights strong antiradical, anti-inflammatory, and wound healing capacities, corroborating the traditional uses ascribed to this plant. We have described, for the first time for this extract, anti-senescent properties.

Abstract
BACKGROUND the general lifespan has been prolonged greatly during the past century, and the incidence of age-associated diseases, including neurodegenerative ones, has increased as well. However, modelling of age-related pathologies is mostly conducted on adult rodents. We studied morphofunctional changes in the brain and peripheral blood of adult Wistar rats in comparison with old Wistar rats to determine age-related physiological changes and differences in adaptive reactions to AlCl3 exposure. METHODS the work was performed on adult and old male Wistar rats. The animals consumed a 100 mg/kg solution of AlCl3 each day for 60 days. Morphological changes of neurons and microglia, mRNA expression levels of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines, microglia activation markers, amyloid-related proteins, and hallmarks of cellular senescence, monocyte, and lymphocyte subpopulations in the peripheral blood were examined. RESULTS old rats showed increasing hyperchromic neurons in the hippocampus; activation of microglia; upregulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines and cellular senescence markers; downregulation of anti-inflammatory cytokines; and Hif-1a and a decrease in B-cells and monocyte in peripheral blood. CONCLUSION compared to young animals, aged rats respond to aluminum exposure with a severe decline of most cells' function and irreversible neuronal loss. Regarding all reported data, neurodegeneration modelling and investigating of factors capable of accelerating or preventing it should be performed in experimental work on aged animals.

Abstract
Introduction Even during physiologic aging, the kidney experiences a loss of mass and a progressive functional decline. This is clinically relevant as it leads to an increased risk of acute and chronic kidney disease. The kidney tubular system plays an important role in the underlying aging process, but the involved cellular mechanisms remain largely elusive. Methods Kidneys of 3-, 12- and 24-month-old male C57BL/6J mice were used for RNA sequencing, histological examination, immunostaining and RNA-in-situ-hybridization. Single cell RNA sequencing data of differentially aged murine and human kidneys was analyzed to identify age-dependent expression patterns in tubular epithelial cells. Senescent and non-senescent primary tubular epithelial cells from mouse kidney were used for in vitro experiments. Results During normal kidney aging, tubular cells adopt an inflammatory phenotype, characterized by the expression of MHC class II related genes. In our analysis of bulk and single cell transcriptional data we found that subsets of tubular cells show an age-related expression of Cd74, H2-Eb1 and H2-Ab1 in mice and CD74, HLA-DQB1 and HLADRB1 in humans. Expression of MHC class II related genes was associated with a phenotype of tubular cell senescence, and the selective elimination of senescent cells reversed the phenotype. Exposure to the Cd74 ligand MIF promoted a prosenescent phenotype in tubular cell cultures. Discussion Together, these data suggest that during normal renal aging tubular cells activate a program of 'tubuloinflammaging', which might contribute to age-related phenotypical changes and to increased disease susceptibility.

Huard CA, Gao X, Dey Hazra ME, Dey Hazra RO, Lebsock K, Easley JT, Millett PJ, Huard J. Effects of Fisetin Treatment on Cellular Senescence of Various Tissues and Organs of Old Sheep. Antioxidants (Basel) 2023; 12:1646. [PMID: 37627641 PMCID: PMC10451965 DOI: 10.3390/antiox12081646] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/26/2023] [Revised: 08/15/2023] [Accepted: 08/18/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Fisetin has been shown to be beneficial for brain injury and age-related brain disease via different mechanisms. The purpose of this study was to determine the presence of senescent cells and the effects of fisetin on cellular senescence in the brain and other vital organs in old sheep, a more translational model. Female sheep 6-7 years old (N = 6) were treated with 100 mg/kg fisetin or vehicle alone on two consecutive days a week for 8 weeks. All vital organs were harvested at the time of sacrifice. Histology, immunofluorescence staining, and RT-Q-PCR were performed on different regions of brain tissues and other organs. Our results indicated that fisetin treatment at the current regimen did not affect the general morphology of the brain. The presence of senescent cells in both the cerebral brain cortex and cerebellum and non-Cornu Ammonis (CA) area of the hippocampus was detected by senescent-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-Gal) staining and GL13 (lipofuscin) staining. The senescent cells detected were mainly neurons in both gray and white matter of either the cerebral brain cortex, cerebellum, or non-CA area of the hippocampus. Very few senescent cells were detected in the neurons of the CA1-4 area of the hippocampus, as revealed by GL13 staining and GLB1 colocalization with NEUN. Fisetin treatment significantly decreased the number of SA-β-Gal+ cells in brain cortex white matter and GL13+ cells in the non-CA area of the hippocampus, and showed a decreasing trend of SA-β-Gal+ cells in the gray matter of both the cerebral brain cortex and cerebellum. Furthermore, fisetin treatment significantly decreased P16+ and GLB1+ cells in neuronal nuclear protein (NEUN)+ neurons, glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)+ astrocytes, and ionized calcium binding adaptor molecule 1 (IBA1)+ microglia cells in both gray and white matter of cerebral brain cortex. Fisetin treatment significantly decreased GLB1+ cells in microglia cells, astrocytes, and NEUN+ neurons in the non-CA area of the hippocampus. Fisetin treatment significantly decreased plasma S100B. At the mRNA level, fisetin significantly downregulated GLB1 in the liver, showed a decreasing trend in GLB1 in the lung, heart, and spleen tissues, and significantly decreased P21 expression in the liver and lung. Fisetin treatment significantly decreased TREM2 in the lung tissues and showed a trend of downregulation in the liver, spleen, and heart. A significant decrease in NRLP3 in the liver was observed after fisetin treatment. Finally, fisetin treatment significantly downregulated SOD1 in the liver and spleen while upregulating CAT in the spleen. In conclusion, we found that senescent cells were widely present in the cerebral brain cortex and cerebellum and non-CA area of the hippocampus of old sheep. Fisetin treatment significantly decreased senescent neurons, astrocytes, and microglia in both gray and white matter of the cerebral brain cortex and non-CA area of the hippocampus. In addition, fisetin treatment decreased senescent gene expressions and inflammasomes in other organs, such as the lung and the liver. Fisetin treatment represents a promising therapeutic strategy for age-related diseases.

Microglial senescence contributes to female-biased neuroinflammation in the aging mouse hippocampus: implications for Alzheimer's disease. J Neuroinflammation 2023; 20:188. [PMID: 37587511 PMCID: PMC10433617 DOI: 10.1186/s12974-023-02870-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2023] [Accepted: 08/03/2023] [Indexed: 08/18/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Microglia, the brain's principal immune cells, have been implicated in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), a condition shown to affect more females than males. Although sex differences in microglial function and transcriptomic programming have been described across development and in disease models of AD, no studies have comprehensively identified the sex divergences that emerge in the aging mouse hippocampus. Further, existing models of AD generally develop pathology (amyloid plaques and tau tangles) early in life and fail to recapitulate the aged brain environment associated with late-onset AD. Here, we examined and compared transcriptomic and translatomic sex effects in young and old murine hippocampal microglia. METHODS Hippocampal tissue from C57BL6/N and microglial NuTRAP mice of both sexes were collected at young (5-6 month-old [mo]) and old (22-25 mo) ages. Cell sorting and affinity purification techniques were used to isolate the microglial transcriptome and translatome for RNA-sequencing and differential expression analyses. Flow cytometry, qPCR, and imaging approaches were used to confirm the transcriptomic and translatomic findings. RESULTS There were marginal sex differences identified in the young hippocampal microglia, with most differentially expressed genes (DEGs) restricted to the sex chromosomes. Both sex chromosomally and autosomally encoded sex differences emerged with aging. These sex DEGs identified at old age were primarily female-biased and enriched in senescent and disease-associated microglial signatures. Normalized gene expression values can be accessed through a searchable web interface ( https://neuroepigenomics.omrf.org/ ). Pathway analyses identified upstream regulators induced to a greater extent in females than in males, including inflammatory mediators IFNG, TNF, and IL1B, as well as AD-risk genes TREM2 and APP. CONCLUSIONS These data suggest that female microglia adopt disease-associated and senescent phenotypes in the aging mouse hippocampus, even in the absence of disease pathology, to a greater extent than males. This sexually divergent microglial phenotype may explain the difference in susceptibility and disease progression in the case of AD pathology. Future studies will need to explore sex differences in microglial heterogeneity in response to AD pathology and determine how sex-specific regulators (i.e., sex chromosomal or hormonal) elicit these sex effects.

Abstract
Endothelial cell (EC) senescence is increasingly recognized as a significant contributor to the development of vascular dysfunction and age-related disorders and diseases, including cancer and cardiovascular diseases (CVD). The regulation of cellular senescence is known to be influenced by cellular metabolism. While extensive research has been conducted on the metabolic regulation of senescence in other cells such as cancer cells and fibroblasts, our understanding of the metabolic regulation of EC senescence remains limited. The specific metabolic changes that drive EC senescence are yet to be fully elucidated. The objective of this review is to provide an overview of the intricate interplay between cellular metabolism and senescence, with a particular emphasis on recent advancements in understanding the metabolic changes preceding cellular senescence. I will summarize the current knowledge on the metabolic regulation of EC senescence, aiming to offer insights into the underlying mechanisms and future research directions.

Abstract
Patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) inevitably exhibit drug resistance, which diminishes therapeutic effects. Nonetheless, the molecular mechanisms of TKI resistance in NSCLC remain obscure. In this study, data from clinical and TCGA databases revealed an increase in DNMT3A expression, which was correlated with a poor prognosis. Using NSCLC organoid models, we observed that high DNMT3A levels reduced TKI susceptibility of NSCLC cells via upregulating inhibitor of apoptosis proteins (IAPs). Simultaneously, the DNMT3Ahigh subset, which escaped apoptosis, underwent an early senescent-like state in a CDKN1A-dependent manner. Furthermore, the cellular senescence induced by TKIs was observed to be reversible, whereas DNMT3Ahigh cells reacquired their proliferative characteristics in the absence of TKIs, resulting in subsequent tumour recurrence and growth. Notably, the blockade of DNMT3A/IAPs signals enhanced the efficacy of TKIs in DNMT3Ahigh tumour-bearing mice, which represented a promising strategy for the effective treatment of NSCLC.

Abstract
Although the trigger for the neurodegenerative disease process is unknown, the relevance of aging stands out as a major risk for the development of neurodegeneration. In this review, we highlighted the relationship between the different cellular mechanisms that occur as a consequence of aging and transcription factor nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2 (NRF2) and the connection with the TAU protein. We focused on the relevance of NRF2 in the main processes involved in neurodegeneration and associated with aging, such as genomic instability, protein degradation systems (proteasomes/autophagy), cellular senescence, and stem cell exhaustion, as well as inflammation. We also analyzed the effect of aging on TAU protein levels and its aggregation and spread process. Finally, we investigated the interconnection between NRF2 and TAU and the relevance of alterations in the NRF2 signaling pathway in both primary and secondary tauopathies. All these points highlight NRF2 as a possible therapeutic target for tauopathies.

Abstract
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a chronic complication of diabetes and the leading cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) worldwide. Currently, there are limited therapeutic drugs available for DKD. While previous research has primarily focused on glomerular injury, recent studies have increasingly emphasized the role of renal tubular injury in the pathogenesis of DKD. Various factors, including hyperglycemia, lipid accumulation, oxidative stress, hypoxia, RAAS, ER stress, inflammation, EMT and programmed cell death, have been shown to induce renal tubular injury and contribute to the progression of DKD. Additionally, traditional hypoglycemic drugs, anti-inflammation therapies, anti-senescence therapies, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, and stem cell therapies have demonstrated their potential to alleviate renal tubular injury in DKD. This review will provide insights into the latest research on the mechanisms and treatments of renal tubular injury in DKD.

Abstract
Pulmonary fibrosis comprises a range of chronic interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) that impose a significant burden on patients and public health. Among these, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a disease of aging, is the most common and most severe form of ILD and is treated largely by lung transplantation. The lack of effective treatments to stop or reverse lung fibrosis-in fact, fibrosis in most organs-has sparked the need to understand causative mechanisms with the goal of identifying critical points for potential therapeutic intervention. Findings from many groups have indicated that repeated injury to the alveolar epithelium-where gas exchange occurs-leads to stem cell exhaustion and impaired alveolar repair that, in turn, triggers the onset and progression of fibrosis. Cellular senescence of alveolar epithelial progenitors is a critical cause of stemness failure. Hence, senescence impairs repair and thus contributes significantly to fibrosis. In this review, we discuss recent evidence indicating that senescence of epithelial progenitor cells impairs alveolar homeostasis and repair creating a profibrotic environment. Moreover, we discuss the impact of senescent alveolar epithelial progenitors, alveolar type 2 (AT2) cells, and AT2-derived transitional epithelial cells in fibrosis. Emerging evidence indicates that transitional epithelial cells are prone to senescence and, hence, are a new player involved in senescence-associated lung fibrosis. Understanding the complex interplay of cell types and cellular regulatory factors contributing to alveolar epithelial progenitor senescence will be crucial to developing targeted therapies to mitigate their downstream profibrotic sequelae and to promote normal alveolar repair.NEW & NOTEWORTHY With an aging population, lung fibrotic diseases are becoming a global health burden. Dysfunctional repair of the alveolar epithelium is a key causative process that initiates lung fibrosis. Normal alveolar regeneration relies on functional progenitor cells; however, the senescence of these cells, which increases with age, hinders their ability to contribute to repair. Here, we discuss studies on the control and consequence of progenitor cell senescence in fibrosis and opportunities for research.

Abstract
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is one of the leading causes of blindness in elderly individuals. However, the currently used intravitreal injections of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor are invasive, and repetitive injections are also accompanied by a risk of intraocular infection. The pathogenic mechanism of AMD is still not completely understood, but a multifactorial mechanism that combines genetic predisposition and environmental factors, including cellular senescence, has been suggested. Cellular senescence refers to the accumulation of cells that stop dividing due to the presence of free radicals and DNA damage. Characteristics of senescent cells include nuclear hypertrophy, increased levels of cell cycle inhibitors such as p16 and p21, and resistance to apoptosis. Senolytic drugs remove senescent cells by targeting the main characteristics of these cells. One of the senolytic drugs, ABT-263, which inhibits the antiapoptotic functions of Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL, may be a new treatment for AMD patients because it targets senescent retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells. We proved that it selectively kills doxorubicin (Dox)-induced senescent ARPE-19 cells by activating apoptosis. By removing senescent cells, the expression of inflammatory cytokines was reduced, and the proliferation of the remaining cells was increased. When ABT-263 was orally administered to the mouse model of senescent RPE cells induced by Dox, we confirmed that senescent RPE cells were selectively removed and retinal degeneration was alleviated. Therefore, we suggest that ABT-263, which removes senescent RPE cells through its senolytic effect, has the potential to be the first orally administered senolytic drug for the treatment of AMD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Substantial studies have demonstrated that oxidative stress placenta and endothelial injury are considered to inextricably critical events in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia (PE). Systemic inflammatory response and endothelial dysfunction are induced by the circulating factors released from oxidative stress placentae. As a novel biomarker of oxidative stress, advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs) levels are strongly correlated with PE characteristics. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanism underlying the effect of factors is still largely unknown. METHODS With the exponential knowledge on the importance of placenta-derived extracellular vesicles (pEVs), we carried out lncRNA transcriptome profiling on small EVs (sEVs) secreted from AOPPs-treated trophoblast cells and identified upregulated lncRNA TDRKH-AS1 as a potentially causative factor for PE. We isolated and characterized sEVs from plasma and trophoblast cells by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) and western blotting. The expression and correlation of lncRNA TDRKH-AS1 were evaluated using qRT-PCR in plasmatic sEVs and placentae from patients. Pregnant mice injected with TDRKH-AS1-riched trophoblast sEVs was performed to detect the TDRKH-AS1 function in vivo. To investigate the potential effect of sEVs-derived TDRKH-AS1 on endothelial function in vitro, transcriptome sequencing, scanning electron Microscopy (SEM), immunofluorescence, ELISA and western blotting were conducted in HUVECs. RNA pulldown, mass spectrometry, RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP), chromatin isolation by RNA purification (ChIRP) and coimmunoprecipitation (Co-IP) were used to reveal the latent mechanism of TDRKH-AS1 on endothelial injury. RESULTS The expression level of TDRKH-AS1 was significantly increased in plasmatic sEVs and placentae from patients, and elevated TDRKH-AS1 in plasmatic sEVs was positively correlated with clinical severity of the patients. Moreover, pregnant mice injected with TDRKH-AS1-riched trophoblast sEVs exhibited a hallmark feature of PE with increased blood pressure and systemic inflammatory responses. Pyroptosis, an inflammatory form of programmed cell death, is involved in the development of PE. Indeed, our in vitro study indicated that sEVs-derived TDRKH-AS1 secreted from AOPPs-induced trophoblast elevated DDIT4 expression levels to trigger inflammatory response of pyroptosis in endothelial cells through interacting with PDIA4. CONCLUSIONS Herein, results in the present study supported that TDRKH-AS1 in sEVs isolated from oxidative stress trophoblast may be implicated in the pathogenesis of PE via inducing pyroptosis and aggravating endothelial dysfunction.

Abstract
Cellular senescence is a state of permanent cell cycle arrest triggered by various intrinsic and extrinsic stressors. Cellular senescence results in impaired tissue repair and remodeling, loss of physiological integrity, organ dysfunction, and changes in the secretome. The systemic accumulation of senescence cells has been observed in many age-related diseases. Likewise, cellular senescence has been implicated as a risk factor and driving mechanism in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) pathogenesis. Airway epithelium exhibits hallmark features of senescence in COPD including activation of the p53/p21WAF1/CIP1 and p16INK4A/RB pathways, leading to cell cycle arrest. Airway epithelial senescent cells secrete an array of inflammatory mediators, the so-called senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), leading to a persistent low-grade chronic inflammation in COPD. SASP further promotes senescence in an autocrine and paracrine manner, potentially contributing to the onset and progression of COPD. In addition, cellular senescence in COPD airway epithelium is associated with telomere dysfunction, DNA damage, and oxidative stress. This review discusses the potential mechanisms of airway epithelial cell senescence in COPD, the impact of cellular senescence on the development and severity of the disease, and highlights potential targets for modulating cellular senescence in airway epithelium as a potential therapeutic approach in COPD.

Abstract
A gradual decline in skeletal muscle mass and function is closely tied to increased mortality and disease risk during organismal aging. Exercise training is the most effective way to enhance muscle health, but the adaptive response to exercise as well as muscle repair potential is blunted in older individuals. Numerous mechanisms contribute to the loss of muscle mass and plasticity as aging progresses. An emerging body of recent evidence implicates an accumulation of senescent ("zombie") cells in muscle as a contributing factor to the aging phenotype. Senescent cells cannot divide but can release inflammatory factors and create an unfavorable environment for homeostasis and adaptation. On balance, some evidence indicates that cells with senescent characteristics can be beneficial for the muscle adaptive process, specifically at younger ages. Emerging evidence also suggests that multinuclear muscle fibers could become senescent. In this review, we summarize current literature on the prevalence of senescent cells in skeletal muscle and highlight the consequences of senescent cell removal on muscle mass, function, and adaptability. We examine key limitations in the field of senescence specifically in skeletal muscle and identify areas of research that require future investigation.NEW & NOTEWORTHY There is evidence to suggest that senescent "zombie" cells may or may not accrue in aging skeletal muscle. When muscle is perturbed regardless of age, senescent-like cells do appear, and the benefits of removing them could be age-dependent. More work is needed to determine the magnitude of accumulation and source of senescent cells in muscle. Regardless, pharmacological senolytic treatment of aged muscle is beneficial for adaptation.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs in approximately 10-15% of patients admitted to hospital and is associated with adverse clinical outcomes. Despite recent advances, management of patients with AKI is still mainly supportive, including the avoidance of nephrotoxins, volume and haemodynamic management and renal replacement therapy. A better understanding of the renal response to injury is the prerequisite to overcome current limitations in AKI diagnostics and therapy. RECENT FINDINGS Single-cell technologies provided new opportunities to study the complexity of the kidney and have been instrumental for rapid advancements in the understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms of AKI. SUMMARY We provide an update on single-cell technologies and we summarize the recent discoveries on the cellular response to injury in proximal tubule cells from the early response in AKI, to the mechanisms of tubule repair and the relevance of maladaptive tubule repair in the transition to chronic kidney disease.

Abstract
Cellular senescence increases with aging. While senescence is associated with an exit of the cell cycle, there is ample evidence that post-mitotic cells including neurons can undergo senescence as the brain ages, and that senescence likely contributes significantly to the progression of neurodegenerative diseases (ND) such as Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). Stress granules (SGs) are stress-induced cytoplasmic biomolecular condensates of RNA and proteins, which have been linked to the development of AD and ALS. The SG seeding hypothesis of NDs proposes that chronic stress in aging neurons results in static SGs that progress into pathological aggregates Alterations in SG dynamics have also been linked to senescence, though studies that link SGs and senescence in the context of NDs and the aging brain have not yet been performed. In this Review, we summarize the literature on senescence, and explore the contribution of senescence to the aging brain. We describe senescence phenotypes in aging neurons and glia, and their links to neuroinflammation and the development of AD and ALS. We further examine the relationships of SGs to senescence and to ND. We propose a new hypothesis that neuronal senescence may contribute to the mechanism of SG seeding in ND by altering SG dynamics in aged cells, thereby providing additional aggregation opportunities within aged neurons.

Abstract
Research on the negative impacts of PM2.5 have been focused on lung, brain, immune, and metabolism-related diseases. However, little is known about the mechanism underlying the effects of PM2.5 on the modulation of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) fate. Maturation of the hematopoietic system and differentiation of hematopoietic stem progenitor cells (HSPCs) occurs soon after birth when infants are susceptible to external stresses. We investigated how exposure to atmospherically relevant artificial particulate matter of diameter < 2.5 µm (termed, PM2.5) affects HSPCs in newborns. The lungs of newborn mice exposed to PM2.5 exhibited higher levels of oxidative stress and inflammasome activation, which continued during aging. PM2.5 also stimulated oxidative stress and inflammasome activation in bone marrow (BM). PM2.5-exposed infant mice at 12 months but not at 6 months displayed progressive senescence of HSCs accompanied by preferential impairment of the BM microenvironment with age-related phenotypes, as evidenced by colony-forming assay and serial transplantation and animal survival experiments. Further, PM2.5-exposed middle-aged mice did not exhibit radioprotective potential. Collectively, exposure of newborns to PM2.5 causes progressive senescence of HSCs. These findings revealed a novel mechanism by which PM2.5 affects the fate of HSCs, highlighting the crucial role of early life exposure to air pollution in determining human health outcomes.

Abstract
Cellular senescence is involved in the pathogenesis of various diseases, including acute kidney injury (AKI). AKI is defined as a sudden loss of kidney function. In severe AKI, irreversible loss of kidney cells can occur. Cellular senescence might contribute to this maladaptive tubular repair, though, its pathophysiological role in vivo is incompletely understood. In this study, we used p16-CreERT2-tdTomato mice in which cells with high p16 expression, a prototypical senescent marker, are labeled with tdTomato fluorescence. Then, we induced AKI by rhabdomyolysis and traced the cells with high p16 expression following AKI. We proved that the induction of senescence was observed predominantly in proximal tubular epithelial cells (PTECs) and occurred in a relatively acute phase within 1-3 days after AKI. These acute senescent PTECs were spontaneously eliminated by day 15. On the contrary, the generation of senescence in PTECs persisted during the chronic recovery phase. We also confirmed that the kidney function did not fully recover on day 15. These results suggest that the chronic generation of senescent PTECs might contribute to maladaptive recovery from AKI and lead to chronic kidney disease progression.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) represents a worryingly increasing cause of malignancy-related mortality, while Metabolic Associated Fatty Liver Disease (MAFLD) is going to become its most common cause in the next decade. Understanding the complex underlying pathophysiology of MAFLD-related HCC can provide opportunities for successful targeted therapies. Of particular interest in this sequela of hepatopathology is cellular senescence, a complex process characterised by cellular cycle arrest initiated by a variety of endogenous and exogenous cell stressors. A key biological process in establishing and maintaining senescence is oxidative stress, which is present in multiple cellular compartments of steatotic hepatocytes. Oxidative stress-induced cellular senescence can change hepatocyte function and metabolism, and alter, in a paracrine manner, the hepatic microenvironment, enabling disease progression from simple steatosis to inflammation and fibrosis, as well as HCC. The duration of senescence and the cell types it affects can tilt the scale from a tumour-protective self-restricting phenotype to the creator of an oncogenic hepatic milieu. A deeper understanding of the mechanism of the disease can guide the selection of the most appropriate senotherapeutic agent, as well as the optimal timing and cell type targeting for effectively combating HCC.

Abstract
Aging is a gradual, continuous series of natural changes in biological, physiological, immunological, environmental, psychological, behavioral, and social processes. Aging entails changes in the immune system characterized by a decrease in thymic output of naïve lymphocytes, an accumulated chronic antigenic stress notably caused by chronic infections such as cytomegalovirus (CMV), and immune cell senescence with acquisition of an inflammatory senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). For this reason, and due to the SASP originating from other tissues, aging is commonly accompanied by low-grade chronic inflammation, termed "inflammaging". After decades of accumulating evidence regarding age-related processes and chronic inflammation, the domain now appears mature enough to allow an integrative reinterpretation of old data. Here, we provide an overview of the topics discussed in a recent workshop "Aging and Chronic Inflammation" to which many of the major players in the field contributed. We highlight advances in systematic measurement and interpretation of biological markers of aging, as well as their implications for human health and longevity and the interventions that can be envisaged to maintain or improve immune function in older people.

Abstract
Purpose of review To summarizes the literature on cellular senescence and frailty in solid-organ transplantation and highlight the emerging role of senotherapeutics as a treatment for cellular senescence. Recent findings Solid-organ transplant patients are aging. Many factors contribute to aging acceleration in this population, including cellular senescence. Senescent cells accumulate in tissues and secrete proinflammatory and profibrotic proteins which result in tissue damage. Cellular senescence contributes to age-related diseases and frailty. Our understanding of the role cellular senescence plays in transplant-specific complications such as allograft immunogenicity and infections is expanding. Promising treatments, including senolytics, senomorphics, cell-based regenerative therapies, and behavioral interventions, may reduce cellular senescence abundance and frailty in patients with solid-organ transplants. Summary Cellular senescence and frailty contribute to adverse outcomes in solid-organ transplantation. Continued pursuit of understanding the role cellular senescence plays in transplantation may lead to improved senotherapeutic approaches and better graft and patient outcomes.

Abstract
Besides being a marker of kidney disease severity, albuminuria exerts a toxic effect on renal proximal tubular epithelial cells (RPTECs). We evaluated whether an unfolded protein response (UPR) or DNA damage response (DDR) is elicited in RPTECs exposed to high albumin concentration. The deleterious outcomes of the above pathways, apoptosis, senescence, or epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) were evaluated. Albumin caused reactive oxygen species (ROS) overproduction and protein modification, and a UPR assessed the level of crucial molecules involved in this pathway. ROS also induced a DDR evaluated by critical molecules involved in this pathway. Apoptosis ensued through the extrinsic pathway. Senescence also occurred, and the RPTECs acquired a senescence-associated secretory phenotype since they overproduced IL-1β and TGF-β1. The latter may contribute to the observed EMT. Agents against endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) only partially alleviated the above changes, while the inhibition of ROS upregulation prevented both UPR and DDR and all the subsequent harmful effects. Briefly, albumin overload causes cellular apoptosis, senescence, and EMT in RPTECs by triggering UPR and DDR. Promising anti-ERS factors are beneficial but cannot eliminate the albumin-induced deleterious effects because DDR also occurs. Factors that suppress ROS overproduction may be more effective since they could halt UPR and DDR.

RANKL + senescent cells under mechanical stress: a therapeutic target for orthodontic root resorption using senolytics. Int J Oral Sci 2023; 15:20.

Abstract
In dentistry, orthodontic root resorption is a long-lasting issue with no effective treatment strategy, and its mechanisms, especially those related to senescent cells, remain largely unknown. Here, we used an orthodontic intrusion tooth movement model with an L-loop in rats to demonstrate that mechanical stress-induced senescent cells aggravate apical root resorption, which was prevented by administering senolytics (a dasatinib and quercetin cocktail). Our results indicated that cementoblasts and periodontal ligament cells underwent cellular senescence (p21+ or p16+) and strongly expressed receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B (RANKL) from day three, subsequently inducing tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-positive odontoclasts and provoking apical root resorption. More p21+ senescent cells expressed RANKL than p16+ senescent cells. We observed only minor changes in the number of RANKL+ non-senescent cells, whereas RANKL+ senescent cells markedly increased from day seven. Intriguingly, we also found cathepsin K+p21+p16+ cells in the root resorption fossa, suggesting senescent odontoclasts. Oral administration of dasatinib and quercetin markedly reduced these senescent cells and TRAP+ cells, eventually alleviating root resorption. Altogether, these results unveil those aberrant stimuli in orthodontic intrusive tooth movement induced RANKL+ early senescent cells, which have a pivotal role in odontoclastogenesis and subsequent root resorption. These findings offer a new therapeutic target to prevent root resorption during orthodontic tooth movement.

ARAG, an Antioxidant-Rich Gel, Shows Superiority to Mepilex Ag in the Treatment of Deep Partial Thickness Burns without Sacrificing Antimicrobial Efficiency. Antioxidants (Basel) 2023; 12:1176. [PMID: 37371906 DOI: 10.3390/antiox12061176] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2023] [Revised: 05/23/2023] [Accepted: 05/26/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Current treatments for deep tissue burns are limited, and most serve only to enhance hydration or prevent bacterial growth. This leaves burn healing dependent on slow natural processes to debride the wound and reestablish the epidermal and dermal layers of the skin. Infections are well known to destabilize this process through a variety of mechanisms, most notably through increased inflammation and the resulting oxidative stress. In this study, we show that ARAG (an antioxidant-rich antimicrobial gel) can suppress the growth of multiple bacteria commonly found to infect burns (Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus vulgaris, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus). This inhibition is comparable to that conferred by silver ion release from burn dressings such as Mepilex-Ag. We further show, using a porcine model for deep partial-thickness burns, that ARAG allows for enhanced wound healing over Mepilex-Ag, the current standard of care. Histological findings indicate this is likely due to increased wound debridement and dampening of late inflammatory processes, leading to more balanced physiologic healing. Taken together, these findings show promise for ARAG as a superior alternative to the current standard of care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Atopic dermatitis (AD) is one of the most common immune and inflammatory skin disorders, leading to insufferable itching and skin abnormalities that seriously affect life quality of patients. There are still huge unmet needs for long-term and effective disease control, despite currently available therapies. Evidenced by some preclinical and clinical studies of AD treatment with stem cells, stem cell treatment could significantly and effectively ameliorate AD symptoms. OBJECTIVES To elucidate underlying mechanisms of how stem cells therapy alleviates AD-like symptoms. METHODS An AD-like mouse model was constructed and treated with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) subcutaneously or subcutaneously combined with intravenously. The differentially expressed genes were sorted out from RNA sequencing results of dorsal skin and blood. RESULTS Two injection routes of MSCs could alleviate AD-like symptoms and pathologic changes of the skin and immune organs. RNA sequencing of dorsal skin sections and blood provided gene expression signatures for amelioration of skin defects, inflammatory and immune modulation by MSCs, as well as common AD molecular markers for the skin and blood, which may benefit for clinical diagnosis. IL-1β and its signaling pathway were specifically found to be associated with the development of AD-like dermatitis lesions. MSC treatment effectively inhibited the JAK-STAT pathway and receptors of IL-4, IL-13, IL-17, and IgE. CONCLUSIONS MSC therapy could regulate abnormal immune and inflammatory status in AD. Mechanistic exploration will contribute to the development of personalized AD treatment based on MSCs.

Abstract
Axonal regeneration and functional recovery are poor after spinal cord injury (SCI), typified by the formation of an injury scar. While this scar was traditionally believed to be primarily responsible for axonal regeneration failure, current knowledge takes a more holistic approach that considers the intrinsic growth capacity of axons. Targeting the SCI scar has also not reproducibly yielded nearly the same efficacy in animal models compared to these neuron-directed approaches. These results suggest that the major reason behind central nervous system (CNS) regeneration failure is not the injury scar but a failure to stimulate axon growth adequately. These findings raise questions about whether targeting neuroinflammation and glial scarring still constitute viable translational avenues. We provide a comprehensive review of the dual role of neuroinflammation and scarring after SCI and how future research can produce therapeutic strategies targeting the hurdles to axonal regeneration posed by these processes without compromising neuroprotection.

Abstract
Oncologic patients are subjected to four major treatment types: surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy. All nonsurgical forms of cancer management are known to potentially violate the structural and functional integrity of the cardiovascular system. The prevalence and severity of cardiotoxicity and vascular abnormalities led to the emergence of a clinical subdiscipline, called cardiooncology. This relatively new, but rapidly expanding area of knowledge, primarily focuses on clinical observations linking the adverse effects of cancer therapy with deteriorated quality of life of cancer survivors and their increased morbidity and mortality. Cellular and molecular determinants of these relations are far less understood, mainly because of several unsolved paths and contradicting findings in the literature. In this article, we provide a comprehensive view of the cellular and molecular etiology of cardiooncology. We pay particular attention to various intracellular processes that arise in cardiomyocytes, vascular endothelial cells, and smooth muscle cells treated in experimentally-controlled conditions in vitro and in vivo with ionizing radiation and drugs representing diverse modes of anti-cancer activity.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common degenerative and progressive joint disease. Cellular senescence is an irreversible cell cycle arrest progressive with age, while protein glycosylation is the most abundant post-translational modification, regulating various cellular and biological pathways. The implication of either chondrocyte senescence or protein glycosylation in the OA pathogenesis has been extensively and individually studied. In this study, we aimed to investigate the possible relationship between chondrocyte senescence and protein glycosylation on the pathogenesis of OA using single-cell RNA sequencing datasets of clinical OA specimens deposited in the Gene Expression Omnibus database with a different cohort. We demonstrated that both cellular senescence signal and protein glycosylation pathways in chondrocytes are validly associated with OA pathogenesis. In addition, the cellular senescence signal is well-connected to the O-linked glycosylation pathway in OA chondrocyte and vice-versa. The expression levels of the polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase (GALNT) family, which is essential for the biosynthesis of O-Glycans at the early stage, are highly upregulated in OA chondrocytes. Moreover, the expression levels of the GALNT family are prominently associated with chondrocyte senescence as well as pathological features of OA. Collectively, these findings uncover a crucial relationship between chondrocyte senescence and O-linked glycosylation on the OA pathophysiology, thereby revealing a potential target for OA.

Abstract
Aging biomarkers are a combination of biological parameters to (i) assess age-related changes, (ii) track the physiological aging process, and (iii) predict the transition into a pathological status. Although a broad spectrum of aging biomarkers has been developed, their potential uses and limitations remain poorly characterized. An immediate goal of biomarkers is to help us answer the following three fundamental questions in aging research: How old are we? Why do we get old? And how can we age slower? This review aims to address this need. Here, we summarize our current knowledge of biomarkers developed for cellular, organ, and organismal levels of aging, comprising six pillars: physiological characteristics, medical imaging, histological features, cellular alterations, molecular changes, and secretory factors. To fulfill all these requisites, we propose that aging biomarkers should qualify for being specific, systemic, and clinically relevant.

Masuda H, Arisaka Y, Hakariya M, Iwata T, Yoda T, Yui N. Molecular Mobility of Polyrotaxane Surfaces Alleviates Oxidative Stress-Induced Senescence in Mesenchymal Stem Cells. Macromol Biosci 2023; 23:e2300053. [PMID: 36942889 DOI: 10.1002/mabi.202300053] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2023] [Revised: 03/14/2023] [Indexed: 03/23/2023]
Abstract
Polyrotaxane is a supramolecular assembly consisting of multiple cyclic molecules threaded by a linear polymer. One of the unique properties of polyrotaxane is molecular mobility, cyclic molecules moving along the linear polymer. Molecular mobility of polyrotaxane surfaces affects cell spreading, differentiation, and other cell-related aspects through changing subcellular localization of yes-associated proteins (YAPs). Subcellular YAP localization is also related to cell senescence derived from oxidative stress, which is known to cause cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. Herein, the effects of polyrotaxane surface molecular mobility on subcellular YAP localization and cell senescence following H2 O2 -induced oxidative stress are evaluated in human mesenchymal stem cells (HMSCs) cultured on polyrotaxane surfaces with different molecular mobilities. Oxidative stress promotes cytoplasmic YAP localization in HMSCs on high-mobility polyrotaxane surfaces; however, low-mobility polyrotaxane surfaces more effectively maintain nuclear YAP localization, exhibiting lower senescence-associated β-galactosidase activity and senescence-related gene expression and DNA damage than that seen with the high-mobility surfaces. These results suggest that the molecular mobility of polyrotaxane surfaces regulates subcellular YAP localization, thereby protecting HMSCs from oxidative stress-induced cell senescence. Applying the molecular mobility of polyrotaxane surfaces to implantable scaffolds can provide insights into the prevention and treatment of diseases caused by oxidative stress.

Uremic Toxin Indoxyl Sulfate Promotes Macrophage-Associated Low-Grade Inflammation and Epithelial Cell Senescence. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24098031. [PMID: 37175735 PMCID: PMC10179130 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24098031] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2023] [Revised: 04/20/2023] [Accepted: 04/24/2023] [Indexed: 05/15/2023] Open
Abstract
In this study, we investigated the impact of the uremic toxin indoxyl sulfate on macrophages and tubular epithelial cells and its role in modulating the response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Indoxyl sulfate accumulates in the blood of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and is a predictor of overall and cardiovascular morbidity/mortality. To simulate the uremic condition, primary macrophages and tubular epithelial cells were incubated with indoxyl sulfate at low concentrations as well as concentrations found in uremic patients, both alone and upon LPS challenge. The results showed that indoxyl sulfate alone induced the release of reactive oxygen species and low-grade inflammation in macrophages. Moreover, combined with LPS (proinflammatory conditions), indoxyl sulfate significantly increased TNF-α, CCL2, and IL-10 release but did not significantly affect the polarization of macrophages. Pre-treatment with indoxyl sulfate following LPS challenge induced the expression of aryl hydrocarbon receptor (Ahr) and NADPH oxidase 4 (Nox4) which generate reactive oxygen species (ROS). Further, experiments with tubular epithelial cells revealed that indoxyl sulfate might induce senescence in parenchymal cells and therefore participate in the progression of inflammaging. In conclusion, this study provides evidence that indoxyl sulfate provokes low-grade inflammation, modulates macrophage function, and enhances the inflammatory response associated with LPS. Finally, indoxyl sulfate signaling contributes to the senescence of tubular epithelial cells during injury.
