SIRT-associated attenuation of cellular senescence in vascular wall. Mech Ageing Dev 2024; 220:111943. [PMID: 38762036 DOI: 10.1016/j.mad.2024.111943] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2024] [Revised: 05/13/2024] [Accepted: 05/14/2024] [Indexed: 05/20/2024]
Abstract
This review focuses on the vital function that SIRT1 and other sirtuins play in promoting cellular senescence in vascular smooth muscle cells, which is a key element in the pathogenesis of vascular aging and associated cardiovascular diseases. Vascular aging is a gradual process caused by the accumulation of senescent cells, which results in increased vascular remodeling, stiffness, and diminished angiogenic ability. Such physiological alterations are characterized by a complex interplay of environmental and genetic variables, including oxidative stress and telomere attrition, which affect gene expression patterns and trigger cell growth arrest. SIRT1 has been highlighted for its potential to reduce cellular senescence through modulation of multiple signaling cascades, particularly the endothelial nitric oxide (eNOS)/NO signaling pathway. It also modulates cell cycle through p53 inactivation and suppresses NF-κB mediated expression of adhesive molecules at the vascular level. The study also examines the therapeutic potential of sirtuin modulation in vascular health, identifying SIRT1 and its sirtuin counterparts as potential targets for reducing vascular aging. This study sheds light on the molecular basis of vascular aging and the beneficial effects of sirtuins, paving the way for the development of tailored therapies aimed at enhancing vascular health and prolonging life.

Abstract
The global prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) has led to widespread multi-system damage, especially in cardiovascular and renal functions, heightening morbidity and mortality. Emerging antidiabetic drugs sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs), and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP-4i) have demonstrated efficacy in preserving cardiac and renal function, both in type 2 diabetic and non-diabetic individuals. To understand the exact impact of these drugs on cardiorenal protection and underlying mechanisms, we conducted a comprehensive review of recent large-scale clinical trials and basic research focusing on SGLT2i, GLP-1RAs, and DPP-4i. Accumulating evidence highlights the diverse mechanisms including glucose-dependent and independent pathways, and revealing their potential cardiorenal protection in diabetic and non-diabetic cardiorenal disease. This review provides critical insights into the cardiorenal protective effects of SGLT2i, GLP-1RAs, and DPP-4i and underscores the importance of these medications in mitigating the progression of cardiovascular and renal complications, and their broader clinical implications beyond glycemic management.

Secretory Factors from Calcium-Sensing Receptor-Activated SW872 Pre-Adipocytes Induce Cellular Senescence and A Mitochondrial Fragmentation-Mediated Inflammatory Response in HepG2 Cells. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24065217. [PMID: 36982291 PMCID: PMC10049719 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24065217] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2022] [Revised: 12/27/2022] [Accepted: 12/29/2022] [Indexed: 03/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Adipose tissue inflammation in obesity has a deleterious impact on organs such as the liver, ultimately leading to their dysfunction. We have previously shown that activation of the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) in pre-adipocytes induces TNF-α and IL-1β expression and secretion; however, it is unknown whether these factors promote hepatocyte alterations, particularly promoting cell senescence and/or mitochondrial dysfunction. We generated conditioned medium (CM) from the pre-adipocyte cell line SW872 treated with either vehicle (CMveh) or the CaSR activator cinacalcet 2 µM (CMcin), in the absence or presence of the CaSR inhibitor calhex 231 10 µM (CMcin+cal). HepG2 cells were cultured with these CM for 120 h and then assessed for cell senescence and mitochondrial dysfunction. CMcin-treated cells showed increased SA-β-GAL staining, which was absent in TNF-α- and IL-1β-depleted CM. Compared to CMveh, CMcin arrested cell cycle, increased IL-1β and CCL2 mRNA, and induced p16 and p53 senescence markers, which was prevented by CMcin+cal. Crucial proteins for mitochondrial function, PGC-1α and OPA1, were decreased with CMcin treatment, concomitant with fragmentation of the mitochondrial network and decreased mitochondrial transmembrane potential. We conclude that pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-1β secreted by SW872 cells after CaSR activation promote cell senescence and mitochondrial dysfunction, which is mediated by mitochondrial fragmentation in HepG2 cells and whose effects were reversed with Mdivi-1. This investigation provides new evidence about the deleterious CaSR-induced communication between pre-adipocytes and liver cells, incorporating the mechanisms involved in cellular senescence.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disease, which leads to atherosclerotic rupture, lumen stenosis and thrombosis, and often endangers life. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a special class of non-coding RNA molecules, whose abnormal expression has been proved to be closely related to human diseases, including AS. Both the abnormal regulation of circRNAs and the sponging effect on miRNAs would lead to changes in gene expression in the form of epigenetic modification, ultimately leading to the formation of AS. CircRNAs can be used as peripheral blood markers of AS, and play an important regulatory role in the proliferation, migration, inflammation and apoptosis of vascular smooth muscle cells, endothelial cells and macrophage, which are key cells for the development of AS. The in-depth understanding of circRNAs in AS not only provides a new method for the diagnosis of AS, but also provides a new idea for the treatment of AS.

Abstract
BackgroundIncreasing evidence has spurred a considerable evolution of concepts related to atherosclerosis, prompting the need to provide a comprehensive view of the growing literature. By retrieving publications in the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) of Clarivate Analytics, we conducted a bibliometric analysis of the scientific literature on atherosclerosis to describe the research landscape.MethodsA search was conducted of the WoSCC for articles and reviews serving exclusively as a source of information on atherosclerosis published between 2012 and 2022. Microsoft Excel 2019 was used to chart the annual productivity of research relevant to atherosclerosis. Through CiteSpace and VOSviewer, the most prolific countries or regions, authors, journals, and resource-, intellectual-, and knowledge-sharing in atherosclerosis research, as well as co-citation analysis of references and keywords, were analyzed.ResultsA total of 20,014 publications were retrieved. In terms of publications, the United States remains the most productive country (6,390, 31,93%). The most publications have been contributed by Johns Hopkins Univ (730, 3.65%). ALVARO ALONSO produced the most published works (171, 0.85%). With a betweenness centrality of 0.17, ERIN D MICHOS was the most influential author. The most prolific journal was identified as Atherosclerosis (893, 4.46%). Circulation received the most co-citations (14,939, 2.79%). Keywords with the ongoing strong citation bursts were “nucleotide-binding oligomerization (NOD), Leucine-rich repeat (LRR)-containing protein (NLRP3) inflammasome,” “short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs),” “exosome,” and “homeostasis,” etc.ConclusionThe research on atherosclerosis is driven mostly by North America and Europe. Intensive research has focused on the link between inflammation and atherosclerosis, as well as its complications. Specifically, the NLRP3 inflammasome, interleukin-1β, gut microbiota and SCFAs, exosome, long non-coding RNAs, autophagy, and cellular senescence were described to be hot issues in the field.

Abstract
Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are the primary cell type involved in the atherosclerosis process; senescent VSMCs are observed in both aged vessels and atherosclerotic plaques. Factors associated with the atherosclerotic process, including oxidative stress, inflammation, and calcium-regulating factors, are closely linked to senescence in VSMCs. A number of experimental studies using traditional cellular aging markers have suggested that anti-aging biochemical agents could be used to treat atherosclerosis. However, doubt has recently been cast on such potential due to the increasingly apparent complexity of VSMCs status and an incomplete understanding of the role that these cells play in the atherosclerosis process, as well as a lack of specific or spectrum-limited cellular aging markers. The utility of anti-aging drugs in atherosclerosis treatment should be reevaluated. Promotion of a healthy lifestyle, exploring in depth the characteristics of each cell type associated with atherosclerosis, including VSMCs, and development of targeted drug delivery systems will ensure efficacy whilst evaluation of the safety and tolerability of drug use should be key aims of future anti-atherosclerosis research. This review summarizes the characteristics of VSMC senescence during the atherosclerosis process, the factors regulating this process, as well as an overview of progress toward the development and application of anti-aging drugs.

Abstract
Excessive proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) play a fundamental role in the pathogenesis of hypertension-related vascular remodeling. β-aminoisobutyric acid (BAIBA) is a nonprotein β-amino acid with multiple pharmacological actions. Recently, BAIBA has been shown to attenuate salt‑sensitive hypertension, but the role of BAIBA in hypertension-related vascular remodeling has yet to be fully clarified. This study examined the potential roles and underlying mechanisms of BAIBA in VSMC proliferation and migration induced by hypertension. Primary VSMCs were cultured from the aortas of Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY) and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). Our results showed that BAIBA pretreatment obviously alleviated the phenotypic transformation, proliferation, and migration of SHR-derived VSMCs. Exogenous BAIBA significantly inhibited the release of inflammatory cytokines by diminishing phosphorylation and nuclear translocation of p65 NFκB, retarding IκBα phosphorylation and degradation, as well as erasing STAT3 phosphorylation in VSMCs. Supplementation of BAIBA triggered Nrf2 dissociation from Keap1 and inhibited oxidative stress in VSMCs from SHR. Mechanistically, activation of the AMPK/sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) axis was required for BAIBA to cube hypertension-induced VSMC proliferation, migration, oxidative damage and inflammatory response. Most importantly, exogenous BAIBA alleviated hypertension, ameliorated vascular remodeling and fibrosis, abated vascular oxidative burst and inflammation in SHR, an effect that was abolished by deficiency of AMPKα1 and SIRT1. BAIBA might serve as a novel therapeutic agent to prevent vascular remodeling in the context of hypertension.

Abstract
Aging has become an irreversible trend in the world, the health problems caused by aging cannot be ignored. The physiological functions of human body begin to decline with aging, the decline of gastrointestinal function caused by aging is an important problem that needs to be resolved. In this work, we evaluated the anti-aging effect of uridine in the senescent gastric epithelial cell model, and found that the aging level of gastric epithelial cell was significantly down-regulated by uridine treatment, uridine could obviously down-regulate the ratio of the SA-β-gal-positive senescent cells. Furthermore, aging-related marker molecules (such as p16 and p21) were also significantly down-regulated under uridine treatment. Additionally, the levels of inflammation and oxidative stress were also significantly reduced by uridine treatment. Next, our further studies the effect of aging on FGF activity on gastric epithelial cell, and found that FGF/FGFR-mediated signaling pathways were significantly down-regulated. However, uridine treatment can not only alleviate the senescence of gastric epithelial cell, but also can partially restore the sensitivity of FGF signaling. Taken together, the current work indicates that uridine shows a good anti-aging effect, which lays a solid foundation for the related research in this filed.

Abstract
Aging is a prominent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, which is the leading cause of death around the world. Recently, cellular senescence has received potential attention as a promising target in preventing cardiovascular diseases, including acute myocardial infarction, atherosclerosis, cardiac aging, pressure overload-induced hypertrophy, heart regeneration, hypertension, and abdominal aortic aneurysm. Here, we discuss the mechanisms underlying cellular senescence and describe the involvement of senescent cardiovascular cells (including cardiomyocytes, endothelial cells, vascular smooth muscle cells, fibroblasts/myofibroblasts and T cells) in age-related cardiovascular diseases. Then, we highlight the targets (SIRT1 and mTOR) that regulating cellular senescence in cardiovascular disorders. Furthermore, we review the evidence that senescent cells can exert both beneficial and detrimental implications in cardiovascular diseases on a context-dependent manner. Finally, we summarize the emerging pro-senescent or anti-senescent interventions and discuss their therapeutic potential in preventing cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
This study aimed to explore whether liquiritin affects the development of coronary heart disease by regulating the proliferation and migration of human vascular smooth muscle cells (hVSMCs). A 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2 H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release detection were performed to measure the toxic effects of liquiritin on hVSMCs. An in vitro atherosclerosis model in hVSMCs was established using oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL), and cell proliferation and apoptosis were detected using an MTT assay and flow cytometry analysis. Western blotting and reverse transcriptase quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) were used to detect protein and mRNA expressions, respectively. Caspase3 activity and cell migration were measured using an activity detection kit and Transwell assay, respectively. The results indicated that liquiritin at doses <160 μM had no significant effect on cell viability and LDH release in hVSMCs. Ox-LDL significantly induced cell proliferation and migration, and inhibited hVSMCs apoptosis. Liquiritin significantly inhibited cell proliferation and migration, and enhanced cell apoptosis in ox-LDL induced hVSMCs. Sirtuin1 (SIRT1) was lowly expressed in atherosclerotic plaque tissues in coronary heart disease patients and in ox-LDL-induced hVSMCs. Liquiritin improved SIRT1 expression in ox-LDL-induced hVSMCs, whereas the improvement was inhibited by Selisistat (EX 527, an effective SIRT1 inhibitor) treatment. EX 527 reversed the effects of liquiritin on cell proliferation, migration, and apoptosis in ox-LDL-induced hVSMCs In conclusion, liquiritin plays a protective role in coronary heart disease by regulating the proliferation and migration of hVSMCs by increasing SIRT1 expression.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) affects approximately 12% of the aging Western population. The sirtuin/forkhead box O (SIRT/FOXO) signaling pathway plays essential roles in various biological processes. Despite it has been demonstrated that ubiquitin-specific protease 3 (USP3) inhibits chondrocyte apoptosis induced by interleukin (IL)-1β, the role of USP3/SIRT3/FOXO3 in the senescence of chondrocytes in OA is unclear. This study initially isolated articular chondrocytes and investigated the role of USP3 in IL-1β-induced senescence of chondrocytes. After USP3 was overexpressed or silenced by lentivirus, expressions of genes and proteins were detected using quantitative polymerase chain reaction and immunoblotting, respectively. Cell cycle analysis was performed using flow cytometry. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and senescence were analyzed. Then, SIRT3 was inhibited or overexpressed to explore the underlying mechanism. We found that overexpression of USP3 hindered IL-1β-mediated cell cycle arrest, ROS generation, and chondrocyte senescence. The inhibition of SIRT3 blocked the protective effect of USP3 on cell senescence, whereas the overexpression of SIRT3 abolished USP3-silencing-induced cell senescence. Furthermore, SIRT3 attenuated cell senescence, probably by deacetylating FOXO3. USP3 upregulated SIRT3 to deacetylate FOXO3 and attenuated IL-1β-induced chondrocyte senescence. This study demonstrated that USP3 probably attenuated IL-1β-mediated chondrocyte senescence by deacetylating FOXO3 via SIRT3.
