Escriche-Navarro B, Garrido E, Sancenón F, García-Fernández A, Martínez-Máñez R. A navitoclax-loaded nanodevice targeting matrix metalloproteinase-3 for the selective elimination of senescent cells. Acta Biomater 2024; 176:405-416. [PMID: 38185231 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2024.01.002] [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: 10/10/2023] [Revised: 12/18/2023] [Accepted: 01/01/2024] [Indexed: 01/09/2024]
Abstract
Cellular senescence is implicated in the occurrence and progression of multiple age-related disorders. In this context, the selective elimination of senescent cells, senolysis, has emerged as an effective therapeutic strategy. However, the heterogeneous senescent phenotype hinders the discovery of a universal and robust senescence biomarker that limits the effective of senolytic with off-target toxic effects. Therefore, the development of more selective strategies represents a promising approach to increase the specificity of senolytic therapy. In this study, we have developed an innovative nanodevice for the selective elimination of senescent cells (SCs) based on the specific enzymatic activity of the senescent secretome. The results revealed that when senescence is induced in proliferating WI-38 by ionizing radiation (IR), the cells secrete high levels of matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3). Based on this result, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) were loaded with the senolytic navitoclax (Nav) and coated with a specific peptide which is substrate of MMP-3 (NPs(Nav)@MMP-3). Studies in cells confirmed the preferential release of cargo in IR-induced senescent cells compared to proliferating cells, depending on MMP-3 levels. Moreover, treatment with NPs(Nav)@MMP-3 induced a selective decrease in the viability of SCs as well as a protective effect on non-proliferating cells. These results demonstrate the potential use of NPs to develop enhanced senolytic therapies based on specific enzymatic activity in the senescent microenvironment, with potential clinical relevance. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The common β-galactosidase activity has been exploited to develop nanoparticles for the selective elimination of senescent cells. However, the identification of new senescent biomarkers is a key factor for the development of improved strategies. In this scenario, we report for the first time the development of NPs targeting senescent cells based on specific enzymatic activity of the senescent secretome. We report a navitoclax-loaded nanodevice responsive to the matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) associated with the senescent phenotype. Our nanosystem achieves the selective release of navitoclax in an MMP-3-dependent manner while limiting off-target effects on non-senescent cells. This opens the possibility of using nanoparticles able to detect an altered senescent environment and selectively release its content, thus enhancing the efficacy of senolytic therapies.

Abstract
Neurodegenerative diseases are a group of age-related disorders characterized by a chronic and progressive loss of function and/or structure of synapses, neurons, and glial cells. The etiopathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases is characterized by a complex network of intricately intertwined pathophysiological processes that are still not fully understood. Safe and effective disease-modifying treatments are urgently needed, but still not available. Accumulating evidence suggests that gastrointestinal dyshomeostasis and microbial dysbiosis might play an important role in neurodegeneration by acting as either primary or secondary pathophysiological factors. The research on the role of microbiota in neurodegeneration is in its early phase; however, accumulating evidence suggests that dysbiosis might promote neurodegenerative diseases by disrupting mitochondrial function and inducing mitochondrial dysfunction-associated senescence (MiDAS), possibly due to bidirectional crosstalk based on the common evolutionary origin of mitochondria and bacteria. Cellular senescence is an onco-supressive homeostatic mechanism that results in an irreversible cell cycle arrest upon exposure to noxious stimuli. Senescent cells resist apoptosis via senescent cell anti-apoptotic pathways (SCAPs) and transition into a state known as senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) that generates a cytotoxic proinflammatory microenvironment. Cellular senescence results in the adoption of a detrimental vicious cycle driven by dysbiosis, mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation, and oxidative stress - a pathophysiological positive feedback loop that results in neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration. Detrimental effects of MiDAS might be prevented and abolished by mitochondria-targeted senotherapeutics, a group of drugs specifically designed to alleviate senescence by inhibiting SCAPs (senolytics), or inhibiting SASP (senomorphics).

Abstract
Cellular senescence is involved in diverse physiological processes. Accumulation of senescent cells can lead to numerous age-related diseases. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop chemical tools to effectively detect and eliminate senescent cells. Till date, a dual functional probe that could detect and eliminate senescent cells has yet been accomplished. Herein, a β-gal-activated probe, MB-βgal, based on the methylene blue (MB) fluorophore, was designed to detect and eliminate senescent cells. In the absence of β-gal, the probe showed no fluorescence and its 1O2 production efficiency was suppressed simultaneously. On the other hand, MB-βgal could be specifically activated by the high level of β-gal in senescent cells, thus, releasing free MB with near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence and high 1O2 production efficiency under light irradiation. MB-βgal demonstrated a fast response, high sensitivity, and high selectivity in detecting β-gal in an aqueous solution and was further applied to visualization and ablation of senescent cells. As a proof of concept, the dual functions of MB-βgal were successfully demonstrated in senescent HeLa cells and mouse embryonic fibroblast cells.

Abstract
Cellular senescence, a stable form of cell cycle arrest, facilitates protection from tumorigenesis and aids in tissue repair as they accumulate in the body at an early age. However, long-term retention of senescent cells causes inflammation, aging of the tissue, and progression of deadly diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and atherosclerosis. Various attempts have been made to achieve selective elimination of senescent cells from the body, yet little has been explored in designing the mitochondria-targeted senolytic agent. Many characteristics of senescence are associated with mitochondria. Here we have designed a library of alkyl-monoquaternary ammonium-triphenyl phosphine (TPP) and alkyl-diquaternary ammonium-TPP of varying alkyl chain lengths, which target the mitochondria; we also studied their senolytic properties. It was observed that the alkyl-diquaternary ammonium-TPP with the longest chain length induced apoptosis in senescent cells selectively via an increase of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and mitochondrial membrane disruption. This study demonstrates that mitochondria could be a potential target for designing new small molecules as senolytic agents for the treatment of a variety of dysfunctions associated with pathological aging.

Abstract
The systemic use of pharmaceutical drugs for cancer patients is a compromise between desirable therapy and side effects because of the intrinsic shortage of organ-specific pharmaceutical drug. Design and construction of pharmaceutical drug to achieve the organ-specific delivery is thus desperately desirable. We herein regulate perylene skeleton to effect organ-specificity and present an example of lung-specific distribution on the basis of bay-twisted PDIC-NC. We further demonstrate that PDIC-NC can target into mitochondria to act as cellular respiration inhibitor, inducing insufficient production of adenosine triphosphate, promoting endogenous H2 O2 and . OH burst, elevating calcium overload, efficiently triggering the synergistic apoptosis, autophagy and endoplasmic reticulum stress of lung cancer cells. The antitumor performance of PDIC-NC is verified on in vivo xenografted, metastasis and orthotopic lung cancer, presenting overwhelming evidences for potentially clinical application. This study contributes a proof-of-concept demonstration of twisted perylene to well attain lung-specific distribution, and meanwhile achieves intensive lung cancer chemotherapy.

Abstract
Cellular senescence is a physiological mechanism whereby a proliferating cell undergoes a stable cell cycle arrest upon damage or stress and elicits a secretory phenotype. This highly dynamic and regulated cellular state plays beneficial roles in physiology, such as during embryonic development and wound healing, but it can also result in antagonistic effects in age-related pathologies, degenerative disorders, ageing and cancer. In an effort to better identify this complex state, and given that a universal marker has yet to be identified, a general set of hallmarks describing senescence has been established. However, as the senescent programme becomes more defined, further complexities, including phenotype heterogeneity, have emerged. This significantly complicates the recognition and evaluation of cellular senescence, especially within complex tissues and living organisms. To address these challenges, substantial efforts are currently being made towards the discovery of novel and more specific biomarkers, optimized combinatorial strategies and the development of emerging detection techniques. Here, we compile such advances and present a multifactorial guide to identify and assess cellular senescence in cell cultures, tissues and living organisms. The reliable assessment and identification of senescence is not only crucial for better understanding its underlying biology, but also imperative for the development of diagnostic and therapeutic strategies aimed at targeting senescence in the clinic.
