Biomed Pharmacother 2024; 179:117288. [PMID: 39146767 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2024.117288] [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: 02/28/2024] [Revised: 07/28/2024] [Accepted: 08/08/2024] [Indexed: 08/17/2024] Open
Abstract
Irreversible cardiotoxicity limits the clinical application of doxorubicin (DOX). DOX-induced cardiotoxicity has been associated with induction of senescence and activation of the p38 MAPK pathway. Losmapimod (LOSM), an orally active p38 MAPK inhibitor, is an anti-inflammatory agent with cardioprotective effects. Nevertheless, the effect of LOSM against DOX-induced cardiotoxicity has not been reported. In this study, we determined the effects of LOSM on DOX-induced chronic cardiotoxicity in C57BL/6 N mice. Five-week-old C57BL/6 N mice were fed diet containing LOSM (estimated daily intake 12 mg/kg/day) or a control diet for four days. Thereafter, mice were randomized to receive six weekly intraperitoneal injections of either DOX (4 mg/kg) or saline. Three days after the last injection, cardiac function was assessed by trans-thoracic echocardiography. Activation of p38, JNK, and ERK1/2 MAPKs were assessed by immunoblotting in the heart and liver. Gene expressions of senescence, inflammatory, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial function markers were quantified using real-time PCR and serum inflammatory markers were assessed by Luminex. Our results demonstrated that LOSM attenuated p38 MAPK activation, ameliorated DOX-induced cardiac dysfunction, and abrogated DOX-induced expression of the senescence marker p21Cip1. Additionally, LOSM demonstrated anti-inflammatory effects, with reduced cardiac Il-1α and Il-6 gene expression in DOX-treated mice. Systemic inflammation, assessed by serum cytokine levels, showed decreased IL-6 and CXCL1 in both DOX-treated mice and mice on LOSM diet. LOSM significantly increased mitofusin2 gene expression, which may enhance mitochondrial fusion. These findings underscore the potential therapeutic efficacy of p38 MAPK inhibition, exemplified by LOSM, in ameliorating DOX-induced cardiotoxicity, senescence, and inflammation.

Yin F, Zhou Y, Xie D, Liang Y, Luo X. Evaluating the adverse effects and mechanisms of nanomaterial exposure on longevity of C. elegans: A literature meta-analysis and bioinformatics analysis of multi-transcriptome data. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 247:118106. [PMID: 38224941 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.118106] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2023] [Revised: 12/28/2023] [Accepted: 01/02/2024] [Indexed: 01/17/2024]
Abstract
Exposure to large-size particulate air pollution (PM2.5 or PM10) has been reported to increase risks of aging-related diseases and human death, indicating the potential pro-aging effects of airborne nanomaterials with ultra-fine particle size (which have been widely applied in various fields). However, this hypothesis remains inconclusive. Here, a meta-analysis of 99 published literatures collected from electronic databases (PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane Library; from inception to June 2023) was performed to confirm the effects of nanomaterial exposure on aging-related indicators and molecular mechanisms in model animal C. elegans. The pooled analysis by Stata software showed that compared with the control, nanomaterial exposure significantly shortened the mean lifespan [standardized mean difference (SMD) = -2.30], reduced the survival rate (SMD = -4.57) and increased the death risk (hazard ratio = 1.36) accompanied by upregulation of ced-3, ced-4 and cep-1, while downregulation of ctl-2, ape-1, aak-2 and pmk-1. Furthermore, multi-transcriptome data associated with nanomaterial exposure were retrieved from Gene Expression Omnibus (GSE32521, GSE41486, GSE24847, GSE59470, GSE70509, GSE14932, GSE93187, GSE114881, and GSE122728) and bioinformatics analyses showed that pseudogene prg-2, mRNAs of abu, car-1, gipc-1, gsp-3, kat-1, pod-2, acdh-8, hsp-60 and egrh-2 were downregulated, while R04A9.7 was upregulated after exposure to at least two types of nanomaterials. Resveratrol (abu, hsp-60, pod-2, egrh-2, acdh-8, gsp-3, car-1, kat-1, gipc-1), naringenin (kat-1, egrh-2), coumestrol (egrh-2) or swainsonine/niacin/ferulic acid (R04A9.7) exerted therapeutic effects by reversing the expression levels of target genes. In conclusion, our study demonstrates the necessity to use phytomedicines that target hub genes to delay aging for populations with nanomaterial exposure.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle is a heterogeneous tissue composed of different types of muscle fibers, demonstrating substantial plasticity. Physiological or pathological stimuli can induce transitions in muscle fiber types. However, the precise regulatory mechanisms behind these transitions remains unclear. This paper reviews the classification and characteristics of muscle fibers, along with the classical mechanisms of muscle fiber type transitions. Additionally, the role of exercise-induced muscle fiber type transitions in disease intervention is reviewed. Epigenetic pathways mediate cellular adaptations and thus represent potential targets for regulating muscle fiber type transitions. This paper focuses on the mechanisms by which epigenetic modifications couple mitochondrial function and contraction characteristics. Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) are critical signaling regulators for the health-promoting effects of exercise. Finally, we discuss the role of exercise-induced ROS in regulating epigenetic modifications and the transition of muscle fiber types.

Abstract
The application of doxorubicin (DOX) is hampered by cardiotoxicity, with diastolic dysfunction as the earliest manifestation. Fibrosis leads to impaired relaxation, but the mechanisms that operate shortly after DOX exposure are not clear. We asked whether the activation of cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) anticipates myocardial dysfunction and evaluated the effects of DOX on CF metabolism. CFs were isolated from the hearts of rats after the first injection of DOX. In another experiment, CFs were exposed to DOX in vitro. Cell phenotype and metabolism were determined. Early effects of DOX consisted of diastolic dysfunction and unchanged ejection fraction. Markers of pro-fibrotic remodeling and evidence of CF transformation were present immediately after treatment completion. Oxygen consumption rate and extracellular acidification revealed an increased metabolic activity of CFs and a switch to glycolytic energy production. These effects were consistent in CFs isolated from the hearts of DOX-treated animals and in naïve CFs exposed to DOX in vitro. The metabolic switch was paralleled with the phenotype change of CFs that upregulated markers of myofibroblast differentiation and the activation of pro-fibrotic signaling. In conclusion, the metabolic switch and activation of CFs anticipate DOX-induced damage and represent a novel target in the early phase of anthracycline cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
Lipids are critical structural and functional architects of cellular homeostasis. Change in systemic lipid profile is a clinical indicator of underlying metabolic pathologies, and emerging evidence is now defining novel roles of lipids in modulating organismal ageing. Characteristic alterations in lipid metabolism correlate with age, and impaired systemic lipid profile can also accelerate the development of ageing phenotype. The present work provides a comprehensive review of the extent of lipids as regulators of the modern hallmarks of ageing viz., cellular senescence, chronic inflammation, gut dysbiosis, telomere attrition, genome instability, proteostasis and autophagy, epigenetic alterations, and stem cells dysfunctions. Current evidence on the modulation of each of these hallmarks has been discussed with emphasis on inherent age-dependent deficiencies in lipid metabolism as well as exogenous lipid changes. There appears to be sufficient evidence to consider impaired lipid metabolism as key driver of the ageing process although much of knowledge is yet fragmented. Considering dietary lipids, the type and quantity of lipids in the diet is a significant, but often overlooked determinant that governs the effects of lipids on ageing. Further research using integrative approaches amidst the known aging hallmarks is highly desirable for understanding the therapeutics of lipids associated with ageing.

Abstract
Curcumin is well known as a potent antioxidant and free radical scavenger and has great potential for anti-aging applications. In this study, we investigate the molecular mechanism of curcumin in prolonging the lifespan of C. elegans. Four concentrations of curcumin (10, 25, 50, and 100 µM) were administered, and the optimal treatment concentration was determined by analyzing the nematode lifespan, physiology, and biochemistry. Additionally, RNA-seq and qRT-PCR were performed to explore the antioxidant effect of curcumin and its underlying mechanism. Results revealed that curcumin could significantly improve the survival capacity of C. elegans without influencing its growth. Curcumin was observed to significantly decrease the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) under extreme conditions such as heat stress and paraquat stress. In addition, curcumin increased the amount of nematode mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) replication. RNA-seq results revealed that the underlying mechanism of curcumin in C. elegans is related to the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway. qRT-PCR results confirmed that the expression of oxidative stress-related genes (sod-1, sod-2, sod-3, gst-4) was increased, and the expression of MAPK signaling pathway-related genes (sek-1, pmk-1, nsy-1) was significantly downregulated. Furthermore, the administration of curcumin extended the lifespan of nematodes, potentially through the enhancement of oxidative stress resistance and the downregulation of the MAPK signaling pathway. These findings improve our understanding of both lifespan extension and the potential mechanism of curcumin in C. elegans.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Reprogramming of metabolism is strongly associated with the development of cancer. However, the role of metabolic reprogramming in the remodeling of pre-metastatic niche (PMN), a key step in metastasis, is still unknown. We aimed to investigate the metabolic alternation during lung PMN formation in breast cancer. METHODS We assessed the transcriptomes and lipidomics of lung of MMTV-PyVT mice by microarray and liquid chromatography-tandem mass mass spectrometry before lung metastasis. The validation of gene or protein expressions was performed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction or immunoblot and immunohistochemistry respectively. The lung fibroblasts were isolated from mice and then co-cultured with breast cancer to identify the influence of cancer on the change of lung fibroblasts in PMN. RESULTS We demonstrated changes in the lipid profile and several lipid metabolism genes in the lungs of breast cancer-bearing MMTV-PyVT mice before cancer spreading. The expression of ACACA (acetyl-CoA carboxylase α) was downregulated in the lung fibroblasts, which contributed to changes in acetylation of protein's lysine residues and the synthesis of fatty acid. The downregulation of ACACA in lung fibroblasts triggered a senescent and inflammatory phenotypic shift of lung fibroblasts in both in vivo and in vitro models. The senescence-associated secretory phenotype of lung fibroblasts enabled the recruitment of immunosuppressive granulocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells into the lungs through the production of CXCL1 in the lungs. Knock-in of ACACA prevented lung metastasis in the MMTV-PyVT mouse model, further supporting that ACACA was involved in the remodeling of the lung PMN. CONCLUSIONS Taken together, these data revealed a mechanism by which ACACA downregulation directed the formation of an immunosuppressive lung PMN in breast cancer.

Abstract
Aging causes degenerative changes such as epigenetic changes and mitochondrial dysfunction in skeletal muscle. Exercise can upregulate muscle mitochondrial homeostasis and enhance antioxidant capacity and represents an effective treatment to prevent muscle aging. Epigenetic changes such as DNA methylation, histone posttranslational modifications, and microRNA expression are involved in the regulation of exercise-induced adaptive changes in muscle mitochondria. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play an important role in signaling molecules in exercise-induced muscle mitochondrial health benefits, and strong evidence emphasizes that exercise-induced ROS can regulate gene expression via epigenetic mechanisms. The majority of mitochondrial proteins are imported into mitochondria from the cytosol, so mitochondrial homeostasis is regulated by nuclear epigenetic mechanisms. Exercise can reverse aging-induced changes in myokine expression by modulating epigenetic mechanisms. In this review, we provide an overview of the role of exercise-generated ROS in the regulation of mitochondrial homeostasis mediated by epigenetic mechanisms. In addition, the potential epigenetic mechanisms involved in exercise-induced myokine expression are reviewed.

Abstract
The skin, being the barrier organ of the body, is constitutively exposed to various stimuli impacting its morphology and function. Senescent cells have been found to accumulate with age and may contribute to age-related skin changes and pathologies. Natural polyphenols exert many health benefits, including ameliorative effects on skin aging. By affecting molecular pathways of senescence, polyphenols are able to prevent or delay the senescence formation and, consequently, avoid or ameliorate aging and age-associated pathologies of the skin. This review aims to provide an overview of the current state of knowledge in skin aging and cellular senescence, and to summarize the recent in vitro studies related to the anti-senescent mechanisms of natural polyphenols carried out on keratinocytes, melanocytes and fibroblasts. Aged skin in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic will be also discussed.

Abstract
Lipids are emerging as key players of senescence. Here, we review the exciting new findings on the diverse roles of lipids in cellular senescence, most of which are enabled by the advancements in omics approaches. Senescence is a cellular process in which the cell undergoes growth arrest while retaining metabolic activity. At the organismal level, senescence contributes to organismal aging and has been linked to numerous diseases. Current research has documented that senescent cells exhibit global alterations in lipid composition, leading to extensive morphological changes through membrane remodeling. Moreover, senescent cells adopt a secretory phenotype, releasing various components to their environment that can affect the surrounding tissue and induce an inflammatory response. All of these changes are membrane and, thus, lipid related. Our work, and that of others, has revealed that fatty acids, sphingolipids, and glycerolipids are involved in the initiation and maintenance of senescence and its associated inflammatory components. These studies opened up an exciting frontier to investigate the deeper mechanistic understanding of the regulation and function of these lipids in senescence. In this review, we will provide a comprehensive snapshot of the current state of the field and share our enthusiasm for the prospect of potential lipid-related protein targets for small-molecule therapy in pathologies involving senescence and its related inflammatory phenotypes.

Abstract
Purpose Conjunctivochalasis (CCH) is a common ocular disease and has received extensive attention recently. However, its exact pathogenesis remains largely unknown. Owing to the high morbidity of CCH in older people, this study aimed to investigate whether cellular senescence contributes to CCH progression and the underlying mechanism. Methods Loose conjunctival tissues from CCH patients (n = 13) and normal conjunctival tissues from age-matched persons (n = 12) were obtained and the fibroblasts were separately induced and obtained. Cellular senescence, and the expression of senescence-associated genes (p53 and p21) and p38 in CCH conjunctival tissues and normal controls, were determined by senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-Gal) staining and quantitative (q)RT-PCR, respectively. To explore the effects of p38 on cellular senescence in CCH fibroblasts, small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting p38 (siP38) and p38-specific inhibitor SB203580 was performed in CCH fibroblasts. Then, cellular senescence, cell viability, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and gene expression were detected according to the corresponding methods. Results CCH conjunctival tissues had significantly more senescent cells, evidenced by more SA-β-Gal-positive cells, and higher expression of senescence-associated genes (p53 and p21) and p38. CCH fibroblasts transfected with siP38 or treated with SB203580 had obviously reduced numbers of senescent cells, decreased ROS production, and increased cell viability, as well as reduced expression of senescence-associated genes. Meanwhile, blocking p38 signaling decreased the expression of p53 and p21. Conclusions Therefore, these findings indicate that cellular senescence might be a causative factor for CCH. P38 signaling might play an important role in the progress of cellular senescence in CCH fibroblasts via manipulation of p53/p21 signaling.

Abstract
Aging is a multifactorial universal process characterized by a gradual decrease in physiological and biochemical functions. Given that life expectancy is on the rise, a better understanding of molecular mechanisms of the aging process is necessary in order to develop anti-aging interventions. Uncontrolled cellular senescence promotes persistent inflammation and accelerates the aging process by decreasing tissue renewal, repair and regeneration. Senescence of immune cells, immunesenescence, is another hallmark of aging. Targeting pro-senescent enzymes increases survival and therefore the lifespan. Although the upregulation of Mitogen Activated Protein Kinases (MAPK) enzymes in aging is still controversial, increasing evidence shows that dysregulation of those enzymes are associated with biological processes that contribute to aging such as irreversible senescence. In this manuscript components of the MAPK pathway will be summarized, including extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1 and 2 (ERK1/2), c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and p38, as well as natural flavonoids, phenolic and diterpenoids with anti-senescence activity that shows positive effects on longevity and MAPK inhibition. Although more studies using additional aging models are needed, we suggest that these selected natural bioactive compounds that regulate MAPK enzymes and reduce senescent cells can be potentially used to improve longevity and prevent/treat age-related diseases.

Abstract
Senescent cells accumulate in several tissues during ageing and contribute to several pathological processes such as ageing and cancer. Senescence induction is a complex process not well defined yet and is characterized by a series of molecular changes acquired after an initial growth arrest. We found that fatty acid synthase (FASN) levels increase during the induction of senescence in mouse hepatic stellate cells and human primary fibroblasts. Importantly, we also observed a significant increase in FASN levels during ageing in mouse liver tissues. To probe the central role of FASN in senescence induction, we used a small-molecule inhibitor of FASN activity, C75. We found that C75 treatment prevented the induction of senescence in mouse and human senescent cells. Importantly, C75 also reduced the expression of the signature SASP factors interleukin 1α (IL-1α), IL-1β and IL-6, and suppressed the secretion of small extracellular vesicles. These findings were confirmed using a shRNA targeting FASN. In addition, we find that FASN inhibition induces metabolic changes in senescent cells. Our work underscores the importance of C75 as a pharmacological inhibitor for reducing the impact of senescent cell accumulation.

ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2018; 151:199-205. [PMID: 29367176 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2018.01.027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2017] [Revised: 01/09/2018] [Accepted: 01/11/2018] [Indexed: 06/07/2023]
Abstract
The goal of the current study was to evaluate the negative influences of fluoride on liver of Bufo gargarizans larvae. B. gargarizans larvae were treated with 42.4mgF-/L for 0, 24, 48 and 72h at Gosner stage 37. The morphological changes and responses of molecular biomarkers involved in lipid metabolism, oxidative stress and apoptosis were examined in liver. Disappearance of cell boundaries, degeneration of hepatic parenchyma cells and significant increase in the number of melanomacrophage centres and the quantity of lipid droplets were found in the liver treated with 42.4mgF-/L for 72h. In addition, in the relative expression of acetyl CoA carboxylase 1 (ACC-1), fatty acid elongase 1 (FAE-1), sterol carrier protein 2 (SCP-2), and carnitine palmitoyltransferase-1 (CPT-1), decrease was observed after 24, 48 and 72h of 42.4mgF-/L exposure. Furthermore, the transcript levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) were downregulated in tadpoles exposed for 24, 48 and 72h to 42.4mgF-/L, while the transcript level of heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) was upregulated at 42.4mgF-/L for 72h. Also, mRNA expression of Bcl-2-associated transcription factor 1(BCLAF1) and thyroid hormone receptors (TRα and TRβ) was significantly upregulated in tadpoles treated with 42.4mgF-/L for 72h. Therefore, our results suggested that the liver injury induced by fluoride might result from disruption of lipid metabolism, oxidative damage and apoptosis.

Abstract
The production of reactive species is a core of the redox cycling profile of anthracyclines. However, these molecular characteristics can be viewed as a double-edged sword acting not only on neoplastic cells but also on multiple cellular targets throughout the body. This phenomenon translates into anthracycline cardiotoxicity that is a serious problem in the growing population of paediatric and adult cancer survivors. Therefore, better understanding of cellular processes that operate within but also go beyond cardiomyocytes is a necessary step to develop more effective tools for the prevention and treatment of progressive and often severe cardiomyopathy experienced by otherwise successfully treated oncologic patients. In this review, we focus on oxidative stress-triggered cellular events such as DNA damage, senescence, and cell death implicated in anthracycline cardiovascular toxicity. The involvement of progenitor cells of cardiac and extracardiac origin as well as different cardiac cell types is discussed, pointing to molecular signals that impact on cell longevity and functional competence.
