[PMID: 39067566 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejphar.2024.176846] [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: 11/27/2023] [Revised: 07/24/2024] [Accepted: 07/24/2024] [Indexed: 07/30/2024]
Abstract
Chronic lung disease is the third leading cause of death globally, imposing huge burden of death, disability and healthcare costs. However, traditional pharmacotherapy has relatively limited effects in improving the cure rate and reducing the mortality of chronic lung disease. Thus, new treatments are urgently needed for the prevention and treatment of chronic lung disease. It is particularly noteworthy that, multiple aging-related phenotypes were involved in the occurrence and development of chronic lung disease, such as blocked proliferation, telomere attrition, mitochondrial dysfunction, epigenetic alterations, altered nutrient perception, stem cell exhaustion, chronic inflammation, etc. Consequently, senescent cells induce a series of pathological changes in the lung, such as immune dysfunction, airway remodeling, oxidative stress and regenerative dysfunction, which is a critical issue that needs special attention in chronic lung diseases. Therefore, anti-aging interventions may bring new insights into the treatment of chronic lung diseases. In this review, we elaborate the involvement of aging in chronic lung disease and further discuss the application and prospects of anti-aging therapy.

Abstract
In the general population, Bronchial Asthma (BA) and Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) are among the most prevalent chronic respiratory disorders. Significant epidemiologic connections and complex pathogenetic pathways link these disorders via complex interactions at genetic, epigenetic, and environmental levels. The coexistence of BA and OSA in an individual likely represents a distinct syndrome, that is, a collection of clinical manifestations attributable to several mechanisms and pathobiological signatures. To avoid terminological confusion, this association has been named alternative overlap syndrome (vs overlap syndrome represented by the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease-OSA association). This comprehensive review summarizes the complex, often bidirectional links between the constituents of the alternative overlap syndrome. Cross-sectional, population, or clinic-based studies are unlikely to elucidate causality or directionality in these relationships. Even longitudinal epidemiological evaluations in BA cohorts developing over time OSA, or OSA cohorts developing BA during follow-up cannot exclude time factors or causal influence of other known or unknown mediators. As such, a lot of pathophysiological interactions described here have suggestive evidence, biological plausibility, potential or actual directionality. By showcasing existing evidence and current knowledge gaps, the hope is that deliberate, focused, and collaborative efforts in the near-future will be geared toward opportunities to shine light on the unknowns and accelerate discovery in this field of health, clinical care, education, research, and scholarly endeavors.

Abstract
Asthma is a heterogeneous airway inflammatory disease that can be classified according to the inflammatory phenotype. The pathogenesis, clinical features, response to hormone therapy, and prognosis of different inflammatory phenotypes differ significantly. This condition also refers to age-related chronic ailments. Here, we intend to identify the function of aging-related genes in different inflammatory phenotypes of asthma using bioinformatic analyses. Initially, the research adopted the GSEA analysis to understand the fundamental mechanisms that govern different inflammatory phenotypes of asthma pathogenesis and use the CIBERSORT algorithm to assess the immune cell composition. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of eosinophilic asthma (EA), neutrophilic asthma (NA), and paucigranulocytic asthma (PGA) were identified through the limma R package. Aging-related genes, screened from multiple databases, were intersected with DEGs of asthma to obtain the asthma-aging-related DEGs. Then, the GO and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses showed that the NA- and EA-aging-related DEGs are involved in the various cytokine-mediated signaling pathways. PPI network and correlation analysis were performed to identify and evaluate the correlation of the hub genes. Further, the clinical characteristics of asthma-aging-related DEGs were explored through ROC analysis. 3 and 12 aging-related DEGs in EA and NA patients show high diagnostic accuracy, respectively (AUC >0.7). This study provided valuable insights into aging-related gene therapy for phenotype-specific asthma. Moreover, the study suggests that effective interventions against asthma may operate by disrupting the detrimental cycle of "aging induces metabolic diseases, which exacerbate aging".

Am J Physiol Lung Cell Mol Physiol 2024; 327:L126-L139. [PMID: 38771153 PMCID: PMC11380945 DOI: 10.1152/ajplung.00264.2023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2023] [Revised: 04/08/2024] [Accepted: 05/09/2024] [Indexed: 05/22/2024] Open
Abstract
Loss of proteostasis and cellular senescence have been previously established as characteristics of aging; however, their interaction in the context of lung aging and potential contributions to aging-associated lung remodeling remains understudied. In this study, we aimed to characterize endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response, cellular senescence, and their interaction in relation to extracellular matrix (ECM) production in lung fibroblasts from young (25-45 yr) and old (>60 yr) humans. Fibroblasts from young and old patients without significant preexisting lung disease were exposed to vehicle, MG132, etoposide, or salubrinal. Afterward, cells and cell lysates or supernatants were analyzed for ER stress, cellular senescence, and ECM changes using protein analysis, proliferation assay, and senescence-associated beta-galactosidase (SA-β-Gal) staining. At baseline, fibroblasts from aging individuals showed increased levels of ER stress (ATF6 and PERK), senescence (p21 and McL-1), and ECM marker (COL1A1) compared to those from young individuals. Upon ER stress induction and etoposide exposure, fibroblasts showed an increase in senescence (SA-β-Gal, p21, and Cav-1), ER stress (PERK), and ECM markers (COL1A1 and LUM) compared to vehicle. Additionally, IL-6 and IL-8 levels were increased in the supernatants of MG132- and etoposide-treated fibroblasts, respectively. Finally, the ER stress inhibitor salubrinal decreased the expression of p21 compared to vehicle and MG132 treatments; however, salubrinal inhibited COL1A1 but not p21 expression in MG132-treated fibroblasts. Our study suggests that ER stress response plays an important role in establishment and maintenance of a senescence phenotype in lung fibroblasts and therefore contributes to altered remodeling in the aging lung.NEW & NOTEWORTHY The current study establishes functional links between endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and cellular senescence per se in the specific context of aging human lung fibroblasts. Recognizing that the process of aging per se is complex, modulated by the myriad of lifelong and environmental exposures, it is striking to note that chronic ER stress may play a crucial role in the establishment and maintenance of cellular senescence in lung fibroblasts.

Abstract
Once considered a tissue culture-specific phenomenon, cellular senescence has now been linked to various biological processes with both beneficial and detrimental roles in humans, rodents and other species. Much of our understanding of senescent cell biology still originates from tissue culture studies, where each cell in the culture is driven to an irreversible cell cycle arrest. By contrast, in tissues, these cells are relatively rare and difficult to characterize, and it is now established that fully differentiated, postmitotic cells can also acquire a senescence phenotype. The SenNet Biomarkers Working Group was formed to provide recommendations for the use of cellular senescence markers to identify and characterize senescent cells in tissues. Here, we provide recommendations for detecting senescent cells in different tissues based on a comprehensive analysis of existing literature reporting senescence markers in 14 tissues in mice and humans. We discuss some of the recent advances in detecting and characterizing cellular senescence, including molecular senescence signatures and morphological features, and the use of circulating markers. We aim for this work to be a valuable resource for both seasoned investigators in senescence-related studies and newcomers to the field.

Abstract
The accumulation of senescent cells drives inflammaging and increases morbidity of chronic inflammatory lung diseases. Immune responses are built upon dynamic changes in cell metabolism that supply energy and substrates for cell proliferation, differentiation, and activation. Metabolic changes imposed by environmental stress and inflammation on immune cells and tissue microenvironment are thus chiefly involved in the pathophysiology of allergic and other immune-driven diseases. Altered cell metabolism is also a hallmark of cell senescence, a condition characterized by loss of proliferative activity in cells that remain metabolically active. Accelerated senescence can be triggered by acute or chronic stress and inflammatory responses. In contrast, replicative senescence occurs as part of the physiological aging process and has protective roles in cancer surveillance and wound healing. Importantly, cell senescence can also change or hamper response to diverse therapeutic treatments. Understanding the metabolic pathways of senescence in immune and structural cells is therefore critical to detect, prevent, or revert detrimental aspects of senescence-related immunopathology, by developing specific diagnostics and targeted therapies. In this paper, we review the main changes and metabolic alterations occurring in senescent immune cells (macrophages, B cells, T cells). Subsequently, we present the metabolic footprints described in translational studies in patients with chronic asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and review the ongoing preclinical studies and clinical trials of therapeutic approaches aiming at targeting metabolic pathways to antagonize pathological senescence. Because this is a recently emerging field in allergy and clinical immunology, a better understanding of the metabolic profile of the complex landscape of cell senescence is needed. The progress achieved so far is already providing opportunities for new therapies, as well as for strategies aimed at disease prevention and supporting healthy aging.

PM2.5 exposure-induced senescence-associated secretory phenotype in airway smooth muscle cells contributes to airway remodeling. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2024; 347:123674. [PMID: 38458517 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2024.123674] [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: 10/16/2023] [Revised: 02/25/2024] [Accepted: 02/27/2024] [Indexed: 03/10/2024]
Abstract
Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) has been linked to increased severity and incidence of airway diseases, especially chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. Airway remodeling is an important event in both COPD and asthma, and airway smooth muscle cells (ASMCs) are key cells which directly involved in airway remodeling. However, it was unclear how PM2.5 affected ASMCs. This study investigates the effects of PM2.5 on airway smooth muscle and its mechanism. We first showed that inhaled particulate matter was distributed in the airway smooth muscle bundle, combined with increased airway smooth muscle bundle and collagen deposition in vivo. Then, we demonstrated that PM2.5 induced up-regulation of collagen-I and alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) expression in rat and human ASMCs in vitro. Next, we found PM2.5 led to rat and human ASMCs senescence and exhibited senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) by autophagy-induced GATA4/TRAF6/NF-κB signaling, which contributed to collagen-I and α-SMA synthesis as well as airway smooth muscle remodeling. Together, our results provided evidence that SASP induced by PM2.5 in airway smooth muscle cells prompted airway remodeling.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Asthma is a heterogeneous chronic respiratory disease, affecting about 10% of the global population. Cellular senescence is a multifaceted phenomenon defined as the irreversible halt of the cell cycle, commonly referred to as the senescence-associated secretory phenotype. Recent studies suggest that cellular senescence may play a role in asthma. This study aims to dissect the role and biological mechanisms of CSRGs in asthma, enhancing our understanding of the progression of asthma. METHODS The study utilized the GSE147878 dataset, employing methods like WGCNA, Differential analysis, Cibersort, GO, KEGG, unsupervised clustering, and GSVA to explore CSRGs functions and immune cell patterns in asthma. Machine learning identified key diagnostic genes, validated externally with the GSE165934 dataset and through qRT-PCR and WB experiments in animal models. RESULT From the GSE147878 dataset, 24 CSRGs were identified, highlighting their role in immune and inflammatory processes in asthma. Differences in CD4 naive T cells and activated dendritic cells between asthma and control groups underscored CSRGs' role in immune regulation. Cluster analysis revealed two distinct asthma patient groups with unique immune microenvironments. Machine learning identified five genes, leading to a TF-miRNA-mRNA network and singling out RHOA and RBM39 as key diagnostic genes, which were experimentally validated. Finally, a nomogram was created based on these genes. CONCLUSION This study, utilizing bioinformatics and animal experiments, identified RHOA and RBM39 as key diagnostic genes for asthma, providing new insights into the potential role and biological mechanisms of CSRGs in asthma.

Prokunina O, Ishmael FT. Identification of biologic-responsive phenotypes in elderly people with eosinophilic asthma. THE JOURNAL OF ALLERGY AND CLINICAL IMMUNOLOGY. GLOBAL 2024; 3:100196. [PMID: 38155862 PMCID: PMC10753088 DOI: 10.1016/j.jacig.2023.100196] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2023] [Revised: 09/03/2023] [Accepted: 09/03/2023] [Indexed: 12/30/2023]
Abstract
Background Asthma in the elderly is not as well studied as in younger age groups. Age-related immunosenescence may result in diminished TH2 inflammation, which raises a question about whether asthma in elderly patients responds well to anti-TH2 asthma biologics. Objective We sought to determine whether asthma in elderly people has different TH2 biomarkers and clinical features compared to nonelderly people, and if disease in the 2 age groups responds differently to anti-TH2 biologics. We also aimed to identify treatment-responsive phenotypes with clinical and biomarker features that could be used to predict best response to biologics. Methods A retrospective chart review was conducted for 56 patients (30 elderly [age ≥62 years] and 26 nonelderly [ages 18-59 years] subjects) with severe asthma treated with dupilumab or benralizumab. Differences in baseline characteristics and response to treatment were analyzed. A hierarchical cluster analysis was also performed to identify treatment-responsive phenotypes. Significance threshold was P = .05 for all analyses. Results Baseline characteristics and TH2 biomarkers (blood eosinophil level, total IgE, aeroallergen sensitivity) were similar between elderly and nonelderly subjects. The disease in both groups responded well to biologics (improvement in ACT scores, decreased exacerbations, decreased need for prednisone), but no significant response difference was found based on age groups. Cluster analysis identified 3 phenotypes, as follows: cluster 1, youngest age, moderate eosinophil levels, lowest total IgE, few environmental allergies, and least response to biologics; cluster 2, intermediate age, lowest eosinophil level, highest IgE level, many environmental allergies, and an intermediate response to biologics; and cluster 3, oldest ages, highest eosinophil levels, high total IgE, few environmental allergies, and best response to biologics. These results confirm trends seen in another study utilizing cluster analyses showing that subjects with highest levels of IgE and eosinophils responded better to biologic treatment for asthma. Conclusion Elderly people with asthma should be considered for biologic therapy no differently than younger people. There may be subgroups of patients with different biologic responses based on age, allergenicity, IgE, and eosinophil levels that could be used to predict treatment response.

Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is an irreversible and fatal lung disease that is primarily found in the elderly population, and several studies have demonstrated that aging is the major risk factor for IPF. IPF is characterized by the presence of apoptosis-resistant, senescent fibroblasts that generate an excessively stiff extracellular matrix (ECM). The ECM profoundly affects cellular functions and tissue homeostasis, and an aberrant ECM is closely associated with the development of lung fibrosis. Aging progressively alters ECM components and is associated with the accumulation of senescent cells that promote age-related tissue dysfunction through the expression of factors linked to a senescence-associated secretary phenotype (SASP). There is growing evidence that SASP factors affect various cell behaviors and influence ECM turnover in lung tissue through autocrine and/or paracrine signaling mechanisms. Since life expectancy is increasing worldwide, it is important to elucidate how aging affects ECM dynamics and turnover via SASP and thereby promotes lung fibrosis. In this review, we will focus on the molecular properties of SASP and its regulatory mechanisms. Furthermore, the pathophysiological process of ECM remodeling by SASP factors and the influence of an altered ECM from aged lungs on the development of lung fibrosis will be highlighted. Finally, recent attempts to target ECM alteration and senescent cells to modulate fibrosis will be introduced.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Aging is the most prominent nonmodifiable risk factor for various human diseases including Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Aging progressively alters extracellular matrix components and is associated with the accumulation of senescent cells that promote age-related tissue dysfunction. In this review, we will discuss the pathological impact of aging and senescence on lung fibrosis via senescence-associated secretary phenotype factors and potential therapeutic approaches to limit the progression of lung fibrosis.

Abstract
Asthma is a heterogeneous chronic respiratory disease that impacts nearly 10% of the population worldwide. While cellular senescence is a normal physiological process, the accumulation of senescent cells is considered a trigger that transforms physiology into the pathophysiology of a tissue/organ. Recent advances have suggested the significance of cellular senescence in asthma. With this review, we focus on the literature regarding the physiology and pathophysiology of cellular senescence and cellular stress responses that link the triggers of asthma to cellular senescence, including telomere shortening, DNA damage, oncogene activation, oxidative-related senescence, and senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). The association of cellular senescence to asthma phenotypes, airway inflammation and remodeling, was also reviewed. Importantly, several approaches targeting cellular senescence, such as senolytics and senomorphics, have emerged as promising strategies for asthma treatment. Therefore, cellular senescence might represent a mechanism in asthma, and the senescence-related molecules and pathways could be targeted for therapeutic benefit.

Abstract
Asthma in elderly populations is an increasing health problem that is accompanied by diminished lung function and frequent exacerbations. As potent anti-inflammatory drugs, corticosteroids are commonly used to reduce lung inflammation, improve lung function, and manage disease symptoms in asthma. Although effective for most individuals, older patients are more insensitive to corticosteroids, making it difficult to manage asthma in this population. With the number of individuals older than 65 continuing to increase, it is important to understand the distinct mechanisms that promote corticosteroid insensitivity in the aging lung. In this review, we discuss corticosteroid insensitivity in asthma with an emphasis on mechanisms that contribute to persistent inflammation and diminished lung function in older individuals.

Abstract
Cellular senescence, a characteristic sign of aging, classically refers to permanent cell proliferation arrest and is a vital contributor to the pathogenesis of cancer and age-related illnesses. A lot of imperative scientific research has shown that senescent cell aggregation and the release of senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) components can cause lung inflammatory diseases as well. In this study, the most recent scientific progress on cellular senescence and phenotypes was reviewed, including their impact on lung inflammation and the contributions of these findings to understanding the underlying mechanisms and clinical relevance of cell and developmental biology. Within a dozen pro-senescent stimuli, the irreparable DNA damage, oxidative stress, and telomere erosion are all crucial in the long-term accumulation of senescent cells, resulting in sustained inflammatory stress activation in the respiratory system. An emerging role for cellular senescence in inflammatory lung diseases was proposed in this review, followed by the identification of the main ambiguities, thus further understanding this event and the potential to control cellular senescence and pro-inflammatory response activation. In addition, novel therapeutic strategies for the modulation of cellular senescence that might help to attenuate inflammatory lung conditions and improve disease outcomes were also presented in this research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Asthma is a heterogeneous disease with multiple phenotypes that are useful in precision medicine. As the population ages, the elderly asthma (EA, aged ≥ 65 years) population is growing, and EA is now a major health problem worldwide. OBJECTIVE To characterize EA and identify its phenotypes. METHODS In adult patients with asthma (aged ≥ 18 years) who had been diagnosed with having asthma at least 1 year before study enrollment, 1925 were included in the NHOM-Asthma (registered in UMIN-CTR; UMIN000027776), and the data were used for this study, JFGE-Asthma (registered in UMIN-CTR; UMIN000036912). Data from EA and non-EA (NEA) groups were compared, and Ward's minimum-variance hierarchical clustering method and principal component analysis were performed. RESULTS EA was characterized by older asthma onset, longer asthma duration and smoking history, more comorbidities, lower pulmonary function, less atopic, lower adherence, and more hospital admissions because of asthma. In contrast, the number of eosinophils, total immunoglobulin E level, oral corticosteroid use, and asthma control questionnaire scores were equivalent between EA and NEA. There were 3 distinct phenotypes in EA, which are as follows: EA1: youngest, late onset, short duration, mild; EA2: early onset, long duration, atopic, low lung function, moderate; and EA3: oldest, eosinophilic, overweight, low lung function, most severe. The classification factors of the EA phenotypes included the age of onset and asthma control questionnaire-6. Similarities were observed between EA and NEA phenotypes after principal component analysis. CONCLUSION The EA in Japan may be unique because of the population's high longevity. Characterization of EA phenotypes from the present cohort indicated the need for distinct precision medicine for EA. TRIAL REGISTRATION JFGE-Asthma registered in UMIN-CTR (https://www.umin.ac.jp/ctr/); UMIN000036912.
