Senescence Rejuvenation through Reduction in Mitochondrial Reactive Oxygen Species Generation by Polygonum cuspidatum Extract: In Vitro Evidence. Antioxidants (Basel) 2024; 13:1110.

Abstract
Oxidative stress caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS) is one of the major causes of senescence. Strategies to reduce ROS are known to be important factors in reversing senescence, but effective strategies have not been found. In this study, we screened substances commonly used as cosmetic additives to find substances with antioxidant effects. Polygonum cuspidatum (P. cuspidatum) extract significantly reduced ROS levels in senescent cells. A novel mechanism was discovered in which P. cuspidatum extract reduced ROS, a byproduct of inefficient oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), by increasing OXPHOS efficiency. The reduction in ROS by P. cuspidatum extract restored senescence-associated phenotypes and enhanced skin protection. Then, we identified polydatin as the active ingredient of P. cuspidatum extract that exhibited antioxidant effects. Polydatin, which contains stilbenoid polyphenols that act as singlet oxygen scavengers through redox reactions, increased OXPHOS efficiency and subsequently restored senescence-associated phenotypes. In summary, our data confirmed the effects of P. cuspidatum extract on senescence rejuvenation and skin protection through ROS reduction. This novel finding may be used as a treatment in senescence rejuvenation in clinical and cosmetic fields.

Abstract
Cancer resistance to therapy is still an unsolved scientific and clinical problem. In 2022, the hallmarks of cancer have been expanded to include four new features, including cellular senescence. Therapy-induced senescence (TIS) is a stressor-based response to conventional treatment methods, e.g. chemo- and radiotherapy, but also to non-conventional targeted therapies. Since TIS reinforces resistance in cancers, new strategies for sensitizing cancer cells to therapy are being adopted. These include macroautophagy as a potential target for inhibition due to its potential cytoprotective role in many cancers. The mechanism of late-stage autophagy inhibitors is based on blockage of autophagolysosome formation or an increase in lysosomal pH, resulting in disrupted cargo degradation. Such inhibitors are relevant candidates for increasing anticancer therapy effectiveness. In particular, 4-aminoquoline derivatives: chloroquine/hydroxychloroquine (CQ/HCQ) have been tested in multiple clinical trials in combination with senescence-inducing anti-cancer drugs. In this review, we summarize the properties of selected late-autophagy inhibitors and their role in the regulation of autophagy and senescent cell phenotype in vitro and in vivo models of cancer as well as treatment response in clinical trials on oncological patients. Additionally, we point out that, although these compounds increase the effectiveness of treatment in some cases, their practical usage might be hindered due to systemic toxicity, hypoxic environment, dose- ant time-dependent inhibitory effects, as well as a possible contribution to escaping from TIS.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, carbonyl, chlorine, bromine, and iodine species (RXS, where X = O, N, S, C, Cl, Br, and I) have important roles in various normal physiological processes and act as essential regulators of cell metabolism; their inherent biological activities govern cell signaling, immune balance, and tissue homeostasis. However, an imbalance between RXS production and consumption will induce the occurrence and development of various diseases. Due to the considerable progress of nanomedicine, a variety of nanosystems that can regulate RXS has been rationally designed and engineered for restoring RXS balance to halt the pathological processes of different diseases. The invention of radical-regulating nanomaterials creates the possibility of intriguing projects for disease treatment and promotes advances in nanomedicine. In this comprehensive review, we summarize, discuss, and highlight very-recent advances in RXS-based nanomedicine for versatile disease treatments. This review particularly focuses on the types and pathological effects of these reactive species and explores the biological effects of RXS-based nanomaterials, accompanied by a discussion and the outlook of the challenges faced and future clinical translations of RXS nanomedicines.

Abstract
Neoplasms can be considered as a group of aberrant cells that need more vascular supply to fulfill all their functions. Therefore, they promote angiogenesis through the same neovascularization pathway used physiologically. Angiogenesis is a process characterized by a heterogeneous distribution of oxygen caused by the tumor and oxidative stress; the latter being one of the most powerful stimuli of angiogenesis. As a result of altered tumor metabolism due to hypoxia, acidosis occurs. The angiogenic process and oxidative stress can be detected by measuring serum and tissue biomarkers. The study of the mechanisms underlying angiogenesis and oxidative stress could lead to the identification of new biomarkers, ameliorating the selection of patients with neoplasms and the prediction of their response to possible anti-tumor therapies. In particular, in the treatment of patients with similar clinical tumor phenotypes but different prognoses, the new biomarkers could be useful. Moreover, they may lead to a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying drug resistance. Experimental studies show that blocking the vascular supply results in antiproliferative activity in vivo in neuroendocrine tumor cells, which require a high vascular supply.

Abstract
Mitochondria are one of the organelles undergoing rapid alteration during the senescence process. Senescent cells show an increase in mitochondrial size, which is attributed to the accumulation of defective mitochondria, which causes mitochondrial oxidative stress. Defective mitochondria are also targets of mitochondrial oxidative stress, and the vicious cycle between defective mitochondria and mitochondrial oxidative stress contributes to the onset and development of aging and age-related diseases. Based on the findings, strategies to reduce mitochondrial oxidative stress have been suggested for the effective treatment of aging and age-related diseases. In this article, we discuss mitochondrial alterations and the consequent increase in mitochondrial oxidative stress. Then, the causal role of mitochondrial oxidative stress on aging is investigated by examining how aging and age-related diseases are exacerbated by induced stress. Furthermore, we assess the importance of targeting mitochondrial oxidative stress for the regulation of aging and suggest different therapeutic strategies to reduce mitochondrial oxidative stress. Therefore, this review will not only shed light on a new perspective on the role of mitochondrial oxidative stress in aging but also provide effective therapeutic strategies for the treatment of aging and age-related diseases through the regulation of mitochondrial oxidative stress.

Modulation of Cellular Senescence in HEK293 and HepG2 Cells by Ultrafiltrates UPla and ULu Is Partly Mediated by Modulation of Mitochondrial Homeostasis under Oxidative Stress. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:6748.

Abstract
Protein probes, including ultrafiltrates from the placenta (UPla) and lung (ULu) of postnatal rabbits, were investigated in premature senescent HEK293 and HepG2 cells to explore whether they could modulate cellular senescence. Tris-Tricine-PAGE, gene ontology (GO), and LC-MS/MS analysis were applied to describe the characteristics of the ultrafiltrates. HEK293 and HepG2 cells (both under 25 passages) exposed to a sub-toxic concentration of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2, 300 μM) became senescent; UPla (10 μg/mL), ULu (10 μg/mL), as well as positive controls lipoic acid (10 μg/mL) and transferrin (10 μg/mL) were added along with H2O2 to the cells. Cell morphology; cellular proliferation; senescence-associated beta-galactosidase (SA-β-X-gal) activity; expression of senescence biomarkers including p16 INK4A (p16), p21 Waf1/Cip1 (p21), HMGB1, MMP-3, TNF-α, IL-6, lamin B1, and phospho-histone H2A.X (γ-H2AX); senescence-related gene expression; reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels; and mitochondrial fission were examined. Tris-Tricine-PAGE revealed prominent detectable bands between 10 and 100 kDa. LC-MS/MS identified 150-180 proteins and peptides in the protein probes, and GO analysis demonstrated a distinct enrichment of proteins associated with "extracellular space" and "proteasome core complex". UPla and ULu modulated senescent cell morphology, improved cell proliferation, and decreased beta-galactosidase activity, intracellular and mitochondrial ROS production, and mitochondrial fission caused by H2O2. The results from this study demonstrated that UPla and Ulu, as well as lipoic acid and transferrin, could protect HEK293 and HepG2 cells from H2O2-induced oxidative damage via protecting mitochondrial homeostasis and thus have the potential to be explored in anti-aging therapies.

Abstract
Age-related hearing loss (ARHL) is the most common cause of hearing loss in the elderly. Ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase L1 (UCHL1) is a deubiquitinating enzyme involved in several types of human disease. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of UCHL1 on a hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced ARHL model in cochlear hair cells and uncover its underlying mechanism. Reverse transcription-quantitative (RT-q)PCR and western blot analysis were used to assess UCHL1 expression in HEI-OC1 cells exposed to H2O2. Following UCHL1 overexpression in H2O2-induced HEI-OC1 cells, cell activity was assessed by Cell Counting Kit-8 assay. The content of oxidative stress-associated markers including superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and reactive oxygen species (ROS ) was measured using corresponding commercial kits. Cell apoptosis was evaluated by TUNEL assay and western blot analysis. Cell senescence was assessed by senescence-associated β-galactosidase staining and western blot analysis. RT-qPCR and western blot analysis were applied to measure mRNA and protein expression levels, respectively, of specificity protein 1 (Sp1) in H2O2-treated HEI-OC1 cells. In addition, the association between UCHL1 and Sp1 was verified by luciferase reporter and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay. The mRNA and protein expression levels of UCHL1 were also determined in Sp1-overexpressing cells by RT-qPCR and western blot analysis, respectively. Following Sp1 overexpression in UCHL1-overexpressing H2O2-treated HEI-OC1 cells, cell activity, oxidative stress, apoptosis and senescence were assessed. Finally, the expression levels of NF-κB signaling-related proteins p-NF-κB p65 and NF-κB p65 were detected using western blot analysis. The results showed that UCHL1 was downregulated in H2O2-treated HEI-OC1 cells. In addition, UCHL1 overexpression enhanced cell viability and promoted oxidative damage, apoptosis and senescence in H2O2-induced HEI-OC1 cells. Furthermore, Sp1 was upregulated in H2O2-treated HEI-OC1 cells. Additionally, luciferase reporter and ChIP assays demonstrated that Sp1 interacted with the UCHL1 promoter to inhibit UCHL1 transcription. Sp1 overexpression reversed the effect of UCHL1 overexpression on cell viability, oxidative stress, apoptosis, senescence and activation of the NF-κB signaling pathway in H2O2-exposed HEI-OC1 cells. Collectively, the results suggested that UCHL1 transcriptional suppression by Sp1 protected cochlear hair cells from H2O2-triggered senescence and oxidative damage.

Abstract
p300/CBP histone acetyltransferases (HAT) are critical transcription coactivators involved in multiple cellular activities. They act at multiple levels in non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) and appear, therefore, as promising druggable targets. Herein, we investigated the biological effects of A-485, the first selective (potent) drug-like HAT catalytic inhibitor of p300/CBP, in human NSCLC cell lines. A-485 treatment specifically reduced p300/CBP-mediated histone acetylation marks and caused growth arrest of lung cancer cells via activation of the autophagic pathway. Indeed, A-485 growth-arrested cells displayed phenotypic markers of cell senescence and failed to form colonies. Notably, disruption of autophagy by genetic and pharmacological approaches triggered apoptotic cell death. Mechanistically, A-485-induced senescence occurred through the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which in turn resulted in DNA damage and activation of the autophagic pathway. Interestingly, ROS scavengers were able to revert senescence phenotype and restore cell viability, suggesting that ROS production had a key role in upstream events leading to growth arrest commitment. Altogether, our data provide new insights into the biological effects of the A-485 and uncover the importance of the autophagic/apoptotic response to design a new combinatorial anticancer strategy.

Abstract
Due to the rapid development of bioinformatics, network pharmacology and molecular docking approaches have been successfully applied in the investigation of mechanisms of action. Here, we combined network pharmacology and molecular docking to predict the targets and reveal the molecular mechanism responsible for regulating autophagy by alliin. Based on the influence of alliin on autophagy, the targets of alliin were screened on the basis of different rules such as structural similarity by Pharmmapper, and genes associated with autophagy were collected from the GeneCards database. We focused on clarifying the biological processes and signalling pathways related to autophagy. Through the cytoHubba plug-in and a series of integrated bioinformatics analyses, the top nine hub nodes with higher degrees were obtained. And finally, through the LibDock included in Discovery Studio 2019, molecular docking method was adopted to declare the reliability of the interaction between alliin and hub targets. The results suggest that alliin-activated autophagy was possibly associated with pathways in cancer and the PI3K-AKT signalling pathway. Furthermore, the potential targets (AKT1, MAPK14, MAPK, HSPA8, EGFR, HSP90AA1, SRC HSPA1A and HSP90AB1) were swimmingly screened on the basis of this practical strategy. Molecular docking analysis indicates that alliin can bind with AKT1 and EGFR with good binding scores. This network pharmacology could be an invaluable strategy for the investigation of action mechanisms of alliin-activated autophagy. This study not only provides new and systematic insights into the underlying mechanism of alliin on autophagy, but also provides novel ideas for network approaches for autophagy-related research.

PKCeta Promotes Stress-Induced Autophagy and Senescence in Breast Cancer Cells, Presenting a Target for Therapy. Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14081704.

Abstract
The emergence of chemoresistance in neoplastic cells is one of the major obstacles in cancer therapy. Autophagy was recently reported as one of the mechanisms that promote chemoresistance in cancer cells by protecting against apoptosis and driving senescence. Thus, understanding the role of autophagy and its underlying signaling pathways is crucial for the development of new therapeutic strategies to overcome chemoresistance. We have previously reported that PKCη is a stress-induced kinase that confers resistance in breast cancer cells against chemotherapy by inducing senescence. Here, we show that PKCη promotes autophagy induced by ER and oxidative stress and facilitates the transition from autophagy to senescence. We demonstrate that PKCη knockdown reduces both the autophagic flux and markers of senescence. Additionally, using autophagy inhibitors such as chloroquine and 3-methyladenine, we show that PKCη and autophagy are required for establishing senescence in MCF-7 in response to oxidative stress. Different drugs used in the clinic are known to induce autophagy and senescence in breast cancer cells. Our study proposes PKCη as a target for therapeutic intervention, acting in synergy with autophagy-inducing drugs to overcome resistance and enhance cell death in breast cancer.

Preventive Effect of Cocoa Flavonoids via Suppression of Oxidative Stress-Induced Apoptosis in Auditory Senescent Cells. Antioxidants (Basel) 2022; 11:antiox11081450. [PMID: 35892652 PMCID: PMC9330887 DOI: 10.3390/antiox11081450] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2022] [Revised: 07/22/2022] [Accepted: 07/22/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Presbycusis or Age-related hearing loss (ARHL) is a sensorineural hearing loss that affects communication, leading to depression and social isolation. Currently, there are no effective treatments against ARHL. It is known that cocoa products have high levels of polyphenol content (mainly flavonoids), that are potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant agents with proven benefits for health. The objective is to determine the protective effect of cocoa at the cellular and molecular levels in Presbycusis. For in vitro study, we used House Ear Institute-Organ of Corti 1 (HEI-OC1), stria vascularis (SV-k1), and organ of Corti (OC-k3) cells (derived from the auditory organ of a transgenic mouse). Each cell line was divided into a control group (CTR) and an H2O2 group (induction of senescence by an oxygen radical). Additionally, every group of every cell line was treated with the cocoa polyphenolic extract (CPE), measuring different markers of apoptosis, viability, the activity of antioxidant enzymes, and oxidative/nitrosative stress. The data show an increase of reactive oxidative and nitrogen species (ROS and RNS, respectively) in senescent cells compared to control ones. CPE treatment effectively reduced these high levels and correlated with a significant reduction in apoptosis cells by inhibiting the mitochondrial-apoptotic pathway. Furthermore, in senescence cells, the activity of antioxidant enzymes (Superoxide dismutase, SOD; Catalase, CAT; and Glutathione peroxidase, GPx) was recovered after CPE treatment. Administration of CPE also decreased oxidative DNA damage in the auditory senescent cells. In conclusion, CPE inhibits the activation of senescence-related apoptotic signaling by decreasing oxidative stress in auditory senescent cells.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer is a common malignancy with a mortality and effective, efficient treatments are urgently needed. Myricetin (Myr) is a flavonoid with antioxidant and anticancer properties. Here, we assessed Myr's toxicity on the non-tumor cell line, IOSE-80 and the mechanism by which it suppresses proliferation, migration, and invasion of ovarian cancer SKOV3 cells. The effects of Myr on SKOV3 cells were assessed using CCK-8, oxidative stress, wound healing, Transwell, Hoechst 33258 staining, and western blot assays. Our data show that although Myr was not toxic against IOSE-80 cells for a range of concentrations 0-40μM, it suppressed SKOV3 cell proliferation, migration, and invasion and enhanced apoptosis. Mechanistically, it activated the p38/Sapla signaling pathway, thereby inhibiting oxidative stress and reducing the level of ROS in tumor cells. Our data show that Myr suppresses ovarian cancer cells in vitro and suggests Myr as a candidate agent against ovarian cancer.

Abstract
Simple Summary Autophagy is an intracellular catabolic program regulated by multiple external and internal cues. A large amount of evidence unraveled that cell-cycle regulators are crucial in its control. This review highlights the interplay between cell-cycle regulators, including cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors, cyclin-dependent kinases, and E2F factors, in the control of autophagy all along the cell cycle. Beyond the intimate link between cell cycle and autophagy, this review opens therapeutic perspectives in modulating together these two aspects to block cancer progression. Abstract In the past decade, cell cycle regulators have extended their canonical role in cell cycle progression to the regulation of various cellular processes, including cellular metabolism. The regulation of metabolism is intimately connected with the function of autophagy, a catabolic process that promotes the efficient recycling of endogenous components from both extrinsic stress, e.g., nutrient deprivation, and intrinsic sub-lethal damage. Mediating cellular homeostasis and cytoprotection, autophagy is found to be dysregulated in numerous pathophysiological contexts, such as cancer. As an adaptative advantage, the upregulation of autophagy allows tumor cells to integrate stress signals, escaping multiple cell death mechanisms. Nevertheless, the precise role of autophagy during tumor development and progression remains highly context-dependent. Recently, multiple articles has suggested the importance of various cell cycle regulators in the modulation of autophagic processes. Here, we review the current clues indicating that cell-cycle regulators, including cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors (CKIs), cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), and E2F transcription factors, are intrinsically linked to the regulation of autophagy. As an increasing number of studies highlight the importance of autophagy in cancer progression, we finally evoke new perspectives in therapeutic avenues that may include both cell cycle inhibitors and autophagy modulators to synergize antitumor efficacy.

Abstract
Mitochondria are one of organelles that undergo significant changes associated with senescence. An increase in mitochondrial size is observed in senescent cells, and this increase is ascribed to the accumulation of dysfunctional mitochondria that generate excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS). Such dysfunctional mitochondria are prime targets for ROS-induced damage, which leads to the deterioration of oxidative phosphorylation and increased dependence on glycolysis as an energy source. Based on findings indicating that senescent cells exhibit mitochondrial metabolic alterations, a strategy to induce mitochondrial metabolic reprogramming has been proposed to treat aging and age-related diseases. In this review, we discuss senescence-related mitochondrial changes and consequent mitochondrial metabolic alterations. We assess the significance of mitochondrial metabolic reprogramming for senescence regulation and propose the appropriate control of mitochondrial metabolism to ameliorate senescence. Learning how to regulate mitochondrial metabolism will provide knowledge for the control of aging and age-related pathologies. Further research focusing on mitochondrial metabolic reprogramming will be an important guide for the development of anti-aging therapies, and will provide novel strategies for anti-aging interventions.

Abstract
As organisms age, they often accumulate protein aggregates that are thought to be toxic, potentially leading to age‐related diseases. This accumulation of protein aggregates is partially attributed to a failure to maintain protein homeostasis. A variety of genetic factors have been linked to longevity, but how these factors also contribute to protein homeostasis is not completely understood. In order to understand the relationship between aging and protein aggregation, we tested how a gene that regulates lifespan and age‐dependent locomotor behaviors, p38 MAPK (p38Kb), influences protein homeostasis as an organism ages. We find that p38Kb regulates age‐dependent protein aggregation through an interaction with starvin, a regulator of muscle protein homeostasis. Furthermore, we have identified Lamin as an age‐dependent target of p38Kb and starvin.

Abstract
Metformin, a clinical agent of type 2 diabetes, is reported as a potential geroprotector. Viral infection induces phenotypes of senescence in human T cells, and polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (poly I:C), a viral mimic, induces upregulation of SA-β-gal activity in ovary of the annual fish Nothobranchius guentheri. However, the effects and mechanisms of metformin on poly I:C-induced aging-like phenomena are poorly understood in vertebrates. In this study, the activity of SA-β-gal increased in gut of 12-month-old fish and poly I:C-injected 6-month-old fish, compared to 6-month-old control fish, indicating that poly I:C induces aging-like phenomena in gut of the fish. Metformin supplementation retarded accumulation of SA-β-gal in gut of old fish and poly I:C-treated young fish. The results of q-PCR analysis showed that metformin reduced NF-κB mediated inflammatory response including decreased level of pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-8 and increased expression of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 in gut of the fish with natural aging and poly I:C-injected 6-month-old fish. Metformin also exhibited antioxidant effects, as it reduced ROS production which is associated with the upregulation of FoxO3a and PGC-1α in gut of 6-month-old fish with poly I:C-injection. Expression of AMPK and SIRT1 was reduced in gut of 6-month-old fish with poly I:C-treatment, and feeding metformin reversed these declines. Taken together, the present study suggested that poly I:C-injection led to aging-like phenomena in gut and metformin activated AMPK and SIRT1 to reduce NF-κB mediated inflammation and resist oxidative stress via enhanced expression of FoxO3a and PGC-1α, and finally delayed gut aging in vertebrates.

Role of Oxidative Stress in the Senescence Pattern of Auditory Cells in Age-Related Hearing Loss. Antioxidants (Basel) 2021; 10:antiox10091497.

Abstract
Age-related hearing loss (ARHL) is an increasing and gradual sensorineural hearing dysfunction. Oxidative stress is an essential factor in developing ARHL; additionally, premature senescence of auditory cells induced by oxidative stress can produce hearing loss. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) represents a method commonly used to generate cellular senescence in vitro. The objective of the present paper is to study H2O2-induced senescence patterns in three auditory cell lines (House Ear Institute-Organ of Corti 1, HEI-OC1; organ of Corti, OC-k3, and stria vascularis, SV-k1 cells) to elucidate the intrinsic mechanisms responsible for ARHL. The auditory cells were exposed to H2O2 at different concentrations and times. The results obtained show different responses of the hearing cells concerning cell growth, β-galactosidase activity, morphological changes, mitochondrial activation, levels of oxidative stress, and other markers of cell damage (Forkhead box O3a, FoxO3a, and 8-oxoguanine, 8-oxoG). Comparison between the responses of these auditory cells to H2O2 is a helpful method to evaluate the molecular mechanisms responsible for these auditory cells' senescence. Furthermore, this in vitro model could help develop anti-senescent therapeutic strategies for the treatment of AHRL.

Abstract
Lung fibrosis is the primary pathology in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and is considered to result from an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels in alveolar epithelial cells. However, the exact mechanism underlying lung fibrosis remains unclear and there is no effective therapy. The hydroxyl radical (•OH) has the strongest oxidizing potential among ROS. Recently, •OH localized to the cytoplasm (cyto •OH) was reported to induce cellular senescence, while mitochondria-localized •OH (mt •OH) was reported to induce apoptosis. We developed the cyto •OH- and mt •OH-scavenging antioxidants TA293 and mitoTA293 to evaluate the effects of cyto •OH and mt •OH in a bleomycin (BLM)-induced pulmonary fibrosis model. Treatment of BLM-induced pulmonary fibrosis mice with TA293 suppressed the induction of cellular senescence and fibrosis, as well as inflammation in the lung, but mitoTA293 exacerbated these. Furthermore, in BLM-stimulated primary alveolar epithelial cells, TA293 suppressed the activation of the p-ATMser1981/p-p53ser15/p21, p-HRI/p-eIF2ser51/ATF4/p16, NLRP3 inflammasome/caspase-1/IL-1β/IL1R/p-p38 MAPK/p16, and p21 pathways and the induction of cellular senescence. However, mitoTA293 suppressed the induction of mitophagy, enhanced the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome/caspase-1/IL1β/IL1R/p-p38 MAPK/p16 and p21 pathways, and exacerbated cellular senescence, inflammation, and fibrosis. Our findings may help develop new strategies to treat idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

Abstract
Cellular senescence (CS) is increasingly implicated in the etiology of age-related diseases. While CS can facilitate physiological processes such as tissue repair and wound healing, senescent cells also contribute to pathophysiological processes involving macromolecular damage and metabolic dysregulation that characterize multiple morbid and prevalent diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, osteoarthritis, atherosclerotic vascular disease, diabetes mellitus, and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Preclinical studies targeting senescent cells and the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) with "senotherapeutics" have demonstrated improvement in age-related morbidity associated with these disease states. Despite promising results from these preclinical trials, few human clinical trials have been conducted. A first-in-human, open-label, pilot study of the senolytic combination of dasatinib and quercetin (DQ) in patients with IPF showed improved physical function and mobility. In this review, we will discuss our current understanding of cellular senescence, its role in age-associated diseases, with a specific focus on IPF, and potential for senotherapeutics in the treatment of fibrotic lung diseases.

Abstract
Nowadays, breast implants, lipofilling, and microsurgical free tissue transfer are the most often applied procedures to repair soft tissue defects resulting from mastectomies/lumpectomies following breast cancer. Due to the drawbacks and limitations associated with these conventional clinical practices, there is a need for alternative reconstructive strategies. The development of biomimetic materials able to promote cell proliferation and adipogenic differentiation has gained increasing attention in the context of adipose reconstructive purposes. Herein, thiol-norbornene crosslinkable gelatin-based materials were developed and benchmarked to the current commonly applied methacryloyl-modified gelatin (GelMA) with different degrees of substitutions focussing on bottom-up tissue engineering. The developed hydrogels resulted in similar gel fractions, swelling, and in vitro biodegradation properties compared to the benchmark materials. Furthermore, the thiol-ene hydrogels exhibited mechanical properties closer to those of native fatty tissue compared to GelMA. The mechanical cues of the equimolar GelNB DS55% + GelSH DS75% composition resulted not only in similar biocompatibility but also, more importantly, in superior differentiation of the encapsulated cells into the adipogenic lineage, as compared to GelMA. It can be concluded that the photo-crosslinkable thiol-ene systems offer a promising strategy toward adipose tissue engineering through cell encapsulation compared to the benchmark GelMA.

Abstract
The ageing of the global population brings about unprecedented challenges. Chronic age-related diseases in an increasing number of people represent an enormous burden for health and social care. The immune system deteriorates during ageing and contributes to many of these age-associated diseases due to its pivotal role in pathogen clearance, tissue homeostasis and maintenance. Moreover, in order to develop treatments for COVID-19, we urgently need to acquire more knowledge about the aged immune system, as older adults are disproportionally and more severely affected. Changes with age lead to impaired responses to infections, malignancies and vaccination, and are accompanied by chronic, low-degree inflammation, which together is termed immunosenescence. However, the molecular and cellular mechanisms that underlie immunosenescence, termed immune cell senescence, are mostly unknown. Cellular senescence, characterised by an irreversible cell cycle arrest, is thought to be the cause of tissue and organismal ageing. Thus, better understanding of cellular senescence in immune populations at single-cell level may provide us with insight into how immune cell senescence develops over the life time of an individual. In this review, we will briefly introduce the phenotypic characterisation of aged innate and adaptive immune cells, which also contributes to overall immunosenescence, including subsets and function. Next, we will focus on the different hallmarks of cellular senescence and cellular ageing, and the detection techniques most suitable for immune cells. Applying these techniques will deepen our understanding of immune cell senescence and to discover potential druggable pathways, which can be modulated to reverse immune ageing.

Abstract
Tissue repair and fibrosis, an abnormal form of repair, occur in most human organs in response to injury or inflammation. Fibroblasts play a major role in the normal repair process by differentiating into myofibroblasts that synthesize extracellular matrix (ECM) components and favor tissue remodeling to reestablish normal function and integrity. However, their persistent accumulation at the site of injury is a hallmark of fibrosis. Autophagy is a catabolic process that occurs in eukaryotic cells as a stress response to allow cell survival and maintenance of cellular homeostasis by degrading and recycling intracellular components. Recent advances identify autophagy as an important regulator of myofibroblast differentiation, tissue remodeling, and fibrogenesis. In this mini-review, we provide an overview of the interactions between autophagy, ECM, and fibrosis, and emphasize the molecular mechanisms involved in myofibroblast differentiation. We also describe the emerging concept of secretory autophagy as a new avenue for intercellular communication at the site of tissue injury and repair.

Abstract
Mitochondria play a key role in homeostasis and are central to one of the leading hypotheses of aging, the free radical theory. Mitochondria function as a reticulated network, constantly adapting to the cellular environment through fusion (joining), biogenesis (formation of new mitochondria), and fission (separation). This adaptive response is particularly important in response to oxidative stress, cellular damage, and aging, when mitochondria are selectively removed through mitophagy, a mitochondrial equivalent of autophagy. During this complex process, mitochondria influence surrounding cell biology and organelles through the release of signaling molecules. Given that the human placenta is a unique organ having a transient and somewhat defined life span of ∼280 days, any adaption or dysfunction associated with mitochondrial physiology as a result of aging will have a dramatic impact on the health and function of both the placenta and the fetus. Additionally, a defective placenta during gestation, resulting in reduced fetal growth, has been shown to influence the development of chronic disease in later life. In this review we focus on the mitochondrial adaptions and transformations that accompany gestational length and share similarities with age-related diseases. In addition, we discuss the role of such changes in regulating placental function throughout gestation, the etiology of gestational complications, and the development of chronic diseases later in life.

Abstract
Background Bone mass loss in aging is linked with imbalanced lineage differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs). Recent studies have proved that histone deacetylases (HDACs) are regarded as key regulators of bone remodeling. However, HDACs involve in regulating BMMSC bio-behaviors remain elusive. Here, we investigated the ability of HDAC9 on modulation of autophagy and its significance in lineage differentiation of BMMSCs. Methods The effects of HDAC9 on lineage differentiation of BMMSCs and autophagic signaling were assessed by various biochemical (western blot and ChIP assay), morphological (TEM and confocal microscopy), and micro-CT assays. Results Sixteen-month mice manifested obvious bone mass loss and marrow fat increase, accompanied with decreased osteogenic differentiation and increased adipogenic differentiation of BMMSCs. Further, the expression of HDAC9 elevated in bone and BMMSCs. Importantly, HDAC9 inhibitors recovered the lineage differentiation abnormality of 16-month BMMSCs and reduced p53 expression. Mechanistically, we revealed that HDAC9 regulated the autophagy of BMMSCs by controlling H3K9 acetylation in the promoters of the autophagic genes, ATG7, BECN1, and LC3a/b, which subsequently affected their lineage differentiation. Finally, HDAC9 inhibition improved endogenous BMMSC properties and promoted the bone mass recovery of 16-month mice. Conclusions Our data demonstrate that HDAC9 is a key regulator in a variety of bone mass by regulating autophagic activity in BMMSCs and thus a potential target of age-related bone loss treatment.

Abstract
Autophagy is a process the primary role of which is to clear up damaged cellular components such as long-lived proteins and organelles, thus participating in the conservation of different cells. Osteoporosis associated with aging is characterized by consistent changes in bone metabolism with suppression of bone formation as well as increased bone resorption. In advanced age, not only bone mass but also bone strength decrease in both sexes, resulting in an increased incidence of fractures. Clinical and animal experiments reveal that age-related bone loss is associated with many factors such as accumulation of autophagy, increased levels of reactive oxygen species, sex hormone deficiency, and high levels of endogenous glucocorticoids. Available basic and clinical studies indicate that age-associated factors can regulate autophagy. Those factors play important roles in bone remodeling and contribute to decreased bone mass and bone strength with aging. In this review, we summarize the mechanisms involved in bone metabolism related to aging and autophagy, supplying a theory for therapeutic targets to rescue bone mass and bone strength in older people.

Abstract
Oncogene-induced senescence (OIS) is a powerful intrinsic tumor-suppressive mechanism, arresting cell cycle progression upon oncogene-activating genomic alterations. The discovery and characterization of the senescence-associated secretome unveiled a rich additional complexity to the senescence phenotype, including extrinsic impacts on the microenvironment and engagement of the immune response. Emerging evidence suggests that senescence phenotypes vary depending on the oncogenic stimulus. Therefore, understanding the mechanisms underlying OIS and how they are subverted in cancer will provide invaluable opportunities to identify alternative strategies for treating oncogene-driven cancers. In this review, we primarily discuss the key mechanisms governing OIS driven by the RAS/MAPK and PI3K/AKT pathways and how understanding the biology of senescent cells has uncovered new therapeutic possibilities to target cancer.

Abstract
The water-soluble glycofullerenes GF1 and GF2 were synthesized using two-step modified Bingel-Hirsch methodology. Interestingly, we identified buckyballs as a novel class of non-receptor Src kinases inhibitors. The evaluated compounds were found to inhibit Fyn A and BTK proteins with IC50 values in the low micromolar range, with the most active compound at 39 µM. Moreover, we have demonstrated that formation of protein corona on the surface of [60]fullerene derivatives is changing the landscape of their activity, tuning the selectivity of obtained carbon nanomaterials towards Fyn A and BTK kinases. The performed molecular biology studies revealed no cytotoxicity and no influence of engineered carbon nanomaterials on the cell cycle of PANC-1 and AsPC-1 cancer cell lines. Incubation with the tested compounds resulted in the cellular redox imbalance triggering the repair systems and influenced the changing of protein levels.

Abstract
Autophagy and cellular senescence are two critical responses of mammalian cells to stress and may have a direct relationship given that they respond to the same set of stimuli, including oxidative stress, DNA damage, and telomere shortening. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have emerged as reliable cell sources for stem cell transplantation and are currently being tested in numerous clinical trials. However, the effects of autophagy on MSC senescence and corresponding mechanisms have not been fully evaluated. Several studies demonstrated that autophagy level increases in aging MSCs and the downregulation of autophagy can delay MSC senescence, which is inconsistent with most studies that showed autophagy could play a protective role in stem cell senescence. To further study the relationship between autophagy and MSC senescence and explore the effects and mechanisms of premodulated autophagy on MSC senescence, we induced the up- or down-regulation of autophagy by using rapamycin (Rapa) or 3-methyladenine, respectively, before MSC senescence induced by D-galactose (D-gal). Results showed that pretreatment with Rapa for 24 hours remarkably alleviated MSC aging induced by D-gal and inhibited ROS generation. p-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNK) and p-38 expression were also clearly decreased in the Rapa group. Moreover, the protective effect of Rapa on MSC senescence can be abolished by enhancing the level of ROS, and p38 inhibitor can reverse the promoting effect of H2 O2 on MSC senescence. In summary, the present study indicates that autophagy plays a protective role in MSC senescence induced by D-gal, and ROS/JNK/p38 signalling plays an important mediating role in autophagy-delaying MSC senescence.

Abstract
Human diploid fibroblasts (HDFs) cultured in vitro have limited capacity to proliferate after population doubling is repeated several times, and they enter into a state known as replicative senescence or cellular senescence. This study aimed to investigate the effect of Chlorella vulgaris on the replicative senescence of HDFs by determining the expression of senescence-associated genes. Young and senescent HDFs were divided into untreated control and C. vulgaris-treated groups. A senescence-associated gene transcription analysis was carried out with qRT-PCR. Treatment of young HDFs with C. vulgaris reduced the expression of SOD1, CAT and CCS (p < 0.05). In addition, the expression of the SOD2 gene was increased with C. vulgaris treatment in young, pre-senescent and senescent HDFs (p < 0.05). Treatment of senescent HDFs with C. vulgaris resulted in the downregulation of TP53 gene expression. The expression of the CDKN2A gene was significantly decreased upon C. vulgaris treatment in young and senescent HDFs. C. vulgaris treatment was also found to significantly upregulate the expression of the MAPK14 gene in pre-senescent HDFs. In addition, the expression of MAPK14 was significantly upregulated compared to that in the untreated senescent HDFs (p < 0.05). In summary, the expression of senescence-associated genes related to antioxidants and the insulin/insulin-like growth factor-1 signalling, DNA damage-associated signalling, cell differentiation and cell proliferation pathways was modulated by C. vulgaris during replicative senescence of human diploid fibroblasts.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a chronic infectious disease involving periodontal tissues. Periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs) play an important role in the regeneration of periodontal tissue. However, senescent PDLCs have an impeded regenerative potential. Metformin has been reported to prevent senescence at both the cellular and individual levels. The objectives of the present study were to evaluate the effects of metformin on cellular senescence in human PDLCs (hPDLCs) under oxidative stress. hPDLCs were pretreated with metformin, followed by H2O2 exposure. The cell viability, oxidative damage, cellular senescence and osteogenic potential were detected. To inhibit autophagy, hPDLCs were treated with 3-methyladenine before metformin treatment. The present study revealed that H2O2 exposure inhibits proliferation, increased lysosomal β-galactosidase activity, augments reactive oxidative species (ROS) accumulation, elevates the oxidative damage, stimulates the expression of senescence-related genes and impedes the activity of the osteogenic differentiation of hPDLCs. Metformin pretreatment could partly reverse the detrimental influences of H2O2 on hPDLCs. Moreover, metformin could stimulate autophagy, whereas the inhibition of autophagy with 3-methyladenine reversed the anti-senescence effects of metformin on hPDLCs under oxidative stress. The present study manifested that metformin could alleviate oxidative stress-induced senescence via stimulating autophagy and could partially recover the osteogenic potential of hPDLCs, possibly providing a reference for the discovery of periodontal treatment from the perspective of antisenescence.

Abstract
Autophagy is an important biological activity that maintains homeostasis in eukaryotic cells. However, little is known about the functions of fish autophagy-related genes (Atgs). In this study, we cloned and characterized Atg5, a key gene in the autophagy gene superfamily, from orange-spotted grouper (Epinephelus coioides) (EcAtg5). EcAtg5 encoded a 275-amino acid protein that shared 94 and 81% identity to seabass (Lates calcarifer) and humans (Homo sapiens), respectively. The transcription level of EcAtg5 was significantly increased in cells infected with red-spotted grouper nervous necrosis virus (RGNNV). In cells infected with Singapore grouper iridovirus (SGIV), EcAtg5 expression declined during the early stage of infection and increased in the late stage. Fluorescence microscopy revealed that EcAtg5 mainly localized with a dot-like pattern in the cytoplasm of grouper cells. Overexpression of EcAtg5 significantly increased the replication of RGNNV and SGIV at different levels of detection, as indicated by increased severity of the cytopathic effect, transcription levels of viral genes, and levels of viral proteins. Knockdown of EcAtg5 decreased the replication of RGNNV and SGIV. Further studies showed that overexpression EcAtg5 activated autophagy, decreased expression levels of interferon related cytokines or effectors and pro-inflammatory factors, and inhibited the activation of nuclear factor κB, IFN-sensitive response element, and IFNs. In addition, ectopic expression of EcAtg5 affected cell cycle progression by hindering the G1/S transition. Taken together, our results demonstrated that fish Atg5 exerted a crucial role in virus replication by promoting autophagy, down-regulating antiviral IFN responses, and affecting the cell cycle.

Abstract
Cellular senescence is a tumor suppressor mechanism that removes potentially neoplastic cells from the proliferative pool. Senescent cells naturally accumulate with advancing age; however, excessive/aberrant accumulation of senescent cells can disrupt normal tissue function. Multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), which are actively evaluated as cell-based therapy, can undergo replicative senescence or stress-induced premature senescence. The molecular characterization of MSCs senescence can be useful not only for understanding the clinical correlations between MSCs biology and human age or age-related diseases but also for identifying competent MSCs for therapeutic applications. Because MSCs are involved in regulating the hematopoietic stem cell niche, and MSCs dysfunction has been implicated in age-related diseases, the identification and selective removal of senescent MSC may represent a potential therapeutic target. Cellular senescence is generally defined by senescence-associated (SA) permanent proliferation arrest (SAPA) accompanied by persistent DNA damage response (DDR) signaling emanating from persistent DNA lesions including damaged telomeres. Alongside SA cell cycle arrest and DDR signaling, a plethora of phenotypic hallmarks help define the overall senescent phenotype including a potent SA secretory phenotype (SASP) with many microenvironmental functions. Due to the complexity of the senescence phenotype, no single hallmark is alone capable of identifying senescent MSCs. This protocol highlights strategies to validate MSCs senescence through the measurements of several key SA hallmarks including lysosomal SA Beta-galactosidase activity (SA-βgal), cell cycle arrest, persistent DDR signaling, and the inflammatory SASP.

Abstract
Aim The purpose of this study was to examine the role of free radical oxygen and peroxide– lipid processes along with conducting the study of blood flow level and oxygen saturation of facial tissues in patients of different ages with varying degrees of involutional changes in the skin of the face and neck. Materials and methods One hundred and fifty-three people (84.3% women and 15.7% men) aged from 26 to 78 years with varying degrees of involutional changes in facial skin were examined. The clinical and laboratory evaluation was carried out dynamically and included various indicators of free radical processes, objective and subjective clinical visualization, and laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) of the facial skin and transcutaneous oximetry (TcpO2) performed at 10 points on the face. To assess the state of free radical processes, the authors investigated the basal indicator of chemiluminescence intensity (ICb), the intensity of chemiluminescence stimulated (ICs) by zymosan, the activity coefficient (AC) of chemiluminescence, antiperoxide activity of plasma, and malondialdehyde (MDA). Results With aging, the imbalance of the oxygen constituents of free radical processes grows with the increase in ROS. Proportional to age, the ICs increased 2.1 times on average in people older than 55 years compared to that in people younger than 30 years and ICb decreased by 1.8 times. As a result, the AC increased by 5.6 times. This correlates with involuntary skin changes and with regression of microcirculation and TcpO2. According to LDF, it was established that average total blood flow in people younger than 30 years and people older than 55 years was 8.1 and 6.4 mL/min, respectively The difference between the indicators of TcpO2 in people younger than 30 years and people older than 55 years was 1.6 times (average 56 vs 35 mm Hg). The stability of the indicators of the peroxide–lipid link of oxidative stress in different age groups demonstrated that the activation of ROS formation in mitochondria is not a cause but a consequence of microcirculation and metabolic processes in the face and neck and aging in general. Conclusion The tissue metabolism and microcirculation parameters naturally regress with aging, which is associated with the increase of ROS. The excess of species leads to the intensification of peroxide processes. This, in turn, is reflected in the aesthetic appearance manifested by aging.

Abstract
Folate deficiency is a major risk factor of birth defects. Mechanistic studies on folate deficiency resulting in birth defects have mainly focused on fetal development. There have been few studies on folate deficiency from the point of view of the mother's uterus. In our previous study, we demonstrated that folate deficiency inhibits apoptosis of decidual cells, thereby restraining decidualization of the endometrium and impairing pregnancy. In this study, we further investigated the potential mechanism by which folate deficiency decreases endometrial apoptosis during decidualization. To investigate whether endometrium autophagy was inhibited under folate deficiency during decidualization, we performed real-time PCR for endometrial LC3 and P62 on day 6 (D6) to D8 of pregnancy in mice, and both were significantly changed compared to non-folate-deficient mice. Western blots showed that LC3-II and P62 were also changed in folate-deficient mice. Compared with control mice, a few punctuate LC3-II structures were detected in the folate deficiency group by immunofluorescence. Transmission electron micrographs of decidual cells on D8 showed that there were no evident autophagosomes in the folate deficiency group. In addition, apoptosis-related protein analysis by western blotting, TUNEL staining and flow cytometry showed that decreased endometrial apoptosis on D8 of pregnancy under folate deficiency was reversed after treatment with rapamycin, an autophagy inducer. ROS measurement showed that the endometrium ROS level was reduced by folate deficiency and that rapamycin reversed this effect on day 8 of pregnancy. All the results suggest that inhibiting endometrial autophagy may be implicated in the decreased endometrial apoptosis under folate deficiency during decidualization.

Abstract
Autophagy originated from the common ancestor of all life forms, and its function is highly conserved from yeast to humans. Autophagy plays a key role in various fundamental biological processes including defense, and has developed through serial interactions of multiple gene sets referred to as autophagy-related (Atg) genes. Despite their significance in metazoan life and evolution, few studies have been conducted to identify these genes in aquatic invertebrates. In this study, we identified whole Atg genes in four Brachionus rotifer spp., namely B. calyciflorus, B. koreanus, B. plicatilis, and B. rotundiformis, through searches of their entire genomes; and we annotated them according to the yeast nomenclature. Twenty-four genes orthologous to yeast genes were present in all of the Brachionus spp. while three additional gene duplicates were identified in the genome of B. koreanus, indicating that these genes had diversified during the speciation. Also, their transcriptional responses to cadmium exposure indicated regulation by cadmium-induced oxidative-stress-related signaling pathways. This study provides valuable information on 99 conserved Atg genes involved in autophagosome formation in Brachionus spp., with transcriptional modulation in response to cadmium, in the context of the role of autophagy in the damage response.

Abstract
In this study, the mechanism that the inhibition of glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) promotes the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) via β-catenin/CCAAT/enhancer binding protein α (C/EBPα) signaling was investigated in the spleen of zebrafish (Danio rerio). The results demonstrated that the inhibition of GSK-3β induced the mRNA expression of β-catenin and C/EBPα by lithium (Li) treatments or GSK-3β RNA interference. The levels of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), superoxide anion (O2.-), and hydroxy radical (·OH) as well as the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) were increased, while the activities of catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX) were decreased in the spleen and ZF4 cells of zebrafish by Li+ treatments. In addition, GSK-3β RNA interference increased ROS levels and decreased the activities of CAT and GSH-PX in the spleen. The fluorescence intensity of ROS was increased but the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) was decreased by Li+ treatments in ZF4 cells labeled with 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) and Rhodamine-123, respectively. The results of present study indicated that the inhibition of GSK-3β promoted the ROS production via β-catenin/C/EBPα signaling in the spleen of zebrafish, and the balance between ROS and antioxidants could be destroyed by the GSK-3β/β-catenin/C/EBPα signaling. The results may be a valuable contribution to understanding the modulatory mechanism of GSK-3β/β-catenin/C/EBPα signaling on the antioxidant system in fish species.

Abstract
Gamma-glutamylcyclotransferase (GGCT) was originally identified as a protein highly expressed in bladder cancer tissues by proteomic analysis, and its higher expression in a variety of cancers compared to normal tissues have been shown. Depletion of GGCT in various cancer cells results in antiproliferative effects both in vitro and in vivo; thus it is considered a promising therapeutic target. Although it has been shown that knockdown of GGCT induces cellular senescence and non-apoptotic cell death, associated with upregulation of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors (CDKIs) including p21WAF1/CIP1, the cellular events that follow GGCT depletion are not fully understood. Here, we show that GGCT depletion induced autophagy in MCF7 breast and PC3 prostate cancer cells. Conversely, overexpression of GGCT in NIH3T3 fibroblast under conditions of serum deprivation inhibited autophagy and increased proliferation. Simultaneous knockdown of autophagy related-protein 5, a critical effector of autophagy, along with GGCT in MCF7 and PC3 cells led to significant attenuation of the multiple cellular responses, including upregulation of CDKIs, increased numbers of senescence-associated β-galactosidase positive senescent cells, and growth inhibition. Furthermore, we show that autophagy-promoting signaling cascades including activation of the AMPK-ULK1 pathway and/or inactivation of the mTORC2-Akt pathway were triggered in GGCT-depleted cells. These results indicate that autophagy plays an important role in the growth inhibition of cancer cells caused by GGCT depletion.

Abstract
In this study, the mechanism that lithium (Li) promotes the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) via the glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β)/tuberous sclerosis complex 2 (TSC2)/target of rapamycin (TOR) signaling was investigated in the gill of zebrafish (Danio rerio). After the zebrafish were treated by 25 and 50 mg/L Li+, the mRNA expression of GSK-3β and TSC2 was inhibited, but the expression of TOR was induced in the gill of zebrafish. The levels of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), superoxide anion (O2·-), and hydroxy radical (·OH) as well as the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) were increased, while the activities of catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX), and peroxidase (POD) were decreased by 25 and 50 mg/L Li+ treatments. In the ZF4 cells, the mRNA expression of GSK-3β and TSC2 was inhibited, but TOR expression was induced by 1, 5, and 10 mmol/L Li+ treatments. To further confirm that lithium promoted ROS production via GSK-3β inhibition, GSK-3β RNA was interfered. It was found that the interference of GSK-3β RNA induced the TSC2/TOR signaling. The levels of H2O2, O2·-, and ·OH were increased, but the activities of CAT, GSH-PX, and POD were decreased by GSK-3β RNA interference. In addition, lithium decreased the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) with Rhodamine-123 assay, but increased the levels of ROS by 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) assay. The present results indicated that lithium promoted the ROS production through the GSK-3β/TSC2/TOR signaling in the gill of zebrafish.

Abstract
Bone marrow‐derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) exhibit degenerative changes, including imbalanced differentiation and reduced proliferation during aging, that contribute to age‐related bone loss. We demonstrate here that autophagy is significantly reduced in aged BMMSCs compared with young BMMSCs. The autophagy inhibitor 3‐methyladenine (3‐MA) could turn young BMMSCs into a relatively aged state by reducing their osteogenic differentiation and proliferation capacity and enhancing their adipogenic differentiation capacity. Accordingly, the autophagy activator rapamycin could restore the biological properties of aged BMMSCs by increasing osteogenic differentiation and proliferation capacity and decreasing adipogenic differentiation capacity. Possible underlying mechanisms were explored, and the analysis revealed that autophagy could affect reactive oxygen species and p53 levels, thus regulating biological properties of BMMSCs. In an in vivo study, we found that activation of autophagy restored bone loss in aged mice. In conclusion, our results suggest that autophagy plays a pivotal role in the aging of BMMSCs, and activation of autophagy could partially reverse this aging and may represent a potential therapeutic avenue to clinically treat age‐related bone loss.

Abstract
Chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) is one of the main pathways of the lysosome-autophagy proteolytic system. It regulates different cellular process through the selective degradation of cytosolic proteins. In ageing, the function of CMA is impaired causing an inefficient stress response and the accumulation of damaged, oxidized or misfolded proteins, which is associated with numerous age-related diseases. Deficient protein degradation alters cellular proteostasis and activates signaling pathways that culminate in the induction of cellular senescence, whose accumulation is a typical feature of ageing. However, the relationship between CMA activity and cellular senescence has been poorly studied. Here, we review and integrate evidence showing that CMA dysfunction correlates with the acquisition of many hallmarks of cellular senescence and propose that loss of CMA function during aging promotes cellular senescence.

Abstract
Although oxidative stress has been shown to induce senescence and replication stress independently, no study has implicated unresolved replication stress as the driver for cellular senescence in response to oxidative stress. Using cells exposed to increasing concentrations of hydrogen peroxide, we show that sub-lethal amount of exogenous hydrogen peroxide induces two waves of DNA damage. The first wave is rapid and transient while the second wave coincides with the cells transition from the S to the G2/M phases of cell cycle. Subsequently, cells enter growth arrest accompanied by the acquisition of senescence-associated characteristics. Furthermore, a p53-dependent decrease in Rad51, which is associated with the formation of DNA segments with chromatin alterations reinforcing senescence, and Lamin B1 that is involved in chromatin remodeling, is observed during the establishment of the senescent phenotype. On the other hand, increase in senescence associated-β-Gal activity, a classical marker of senescence and HMGA2, a marker of the senescence-associated heterochromatin foci, is shown to be independent of p53. Together, our findings implicate replication stress-induced endogenous DNA damage as the driver for the establishment of cellular senescence upon sub-lethal oxidative stress, and implicate the role of p53 in some but not all hallmarks of the senescent phenotype.

Abstract
Aging is characterized by a progressive loss of the ability of the organism to cope with stressors and to repair tissue damage. As a result, chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, increase their prevalence with aging, underlining the existence of common mechanisms that lead to frailty and age-related diseases. In this frame, the progressive decline of the homeostatic and reparative function of primitive cells has been hypothesized to play a major role in the evolution of cardiac pathology to heart failure. Although initially it was believed that reactive oxygen species (ROS) were produced in an unregulated manner as a byproduct of cellular metabolism, causing macromolecular damage and aging, accumulating evidence indicate the major role played by redox signaling in physiology. Aim of this review is to critically revise evidence linking ROS to cell senescence and aging and to provide evidence of the primary role played by redox signaling, with a particular emphasis on the multifunctional protein APE1/Ref in stem cell biology. Finally, we will discuss evidence supporting the role of redox signaling in cardiovascular cells.

Abstract
Background Neuroblastoma is the most common solid tumor in childhood and develops from undifferentiated progenitor cells of the sympathetic nervous system. In neuronal tumor cells DNA-damaging chemotherapeutic agents activate the transcription factor FOXO3 which regulates the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and cell death as well as a longevity program associated with therapy resistance. We demonstrated before that C10ORF10/DEPP, a transcriptional target of FOXO3, localizes to peroxisomes and mitochondria and impairs cellular ROS detoxification. In the present study, we investigated the impact of FOXO3 and DEPP on the regulation of autophagy. Autophagy serves to reduce oxidative damage as it triggers a self-degradative process for the removal of aggregated or misfolded proteins and damaged organelles. Methods The effect of FOXO3 and DEPP on autophagy induction was analyzed using live cell fluorescence microscopy and immunoblot analyses of SH-EP cells transfected with a plasmid for EYFP-LC3 and with siRNAs specific for LC3, respectively. ROS steady-state levels were measured with reduced MitoTrackerRed CM-H2XROS. Cellular apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry and the caspase 3/7 assay. Results We report for the first time that DEPP induces ROS accumulation and thereby mediates the formation of autophagosomes as inhibition of ROS formation by N-acetyl-cysteine completely blocks autophagy. We further demonstrate that H2O2-treatment triggers autophagy-induction by FOXO3-mediated DEPP expression. Importantly, knockdown of DEPP was sufficient to efficiently inhibit autophagy-induction under different stress conditions such as serum starvation and genotoxic stress, suggesting that DEPP expression is critical for the initiation of autophagy in neuroblastoma. FOXO3-triggered autophagy partially protects neuroblastoma cells from cell death. Consistent with this concept, we demonstrate that inhibition of autophagy by LC3-knockdown significantly increased etoposide- and doxorubicin-induced apoptosis. These results were also confirmed by the use of the autophagy-inhibitor chloroquine that significantly enhanced the chemotherapeutic effect of etoposide and doxorubicin in neuronal tumor cells. Conclusion Targeting FOXO3/DEPP-triggered autophagy is a promising strategy to sensitize neuroblastoma cells to chemotherapy.
