Ecto-CD38-NADase inhibition modulates cardiac metabolism and protects mice against doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity. Cardiovasc Res 2024; 120:286-300. [PMID: 38271281 PMCID: PMC10953800 DOI: 10.1093/cvr/cvae025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2023] [Revised: 11/02/2023] [Accepted: 11/30/2023] [Indexed: 01/27/2024] Open
Abstract
AIMS Doxorubicin (DXR) is a chemotherapeutic agent that causes dose-dependent cardiotoxicity. Recently, it has been proposed that the NADase CD38 may play a role in doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC). CD38 is the main NAD+-catabolizing enzyme in mammalian tissues. Interestingly, in the heart, CD38 is mostly expressed as an ecto-enzyme that can be targeted by specific inhibitory antibodies. The goal of the present study is to characterize the role of CD38 ecto-enzymatic activity in cardiac metabolism and the development of DIC. METHODS AND RESULTS Using both a transgenic animal model and a non-cytotoxic enzymatic anti-CD38 antibody, we investigated the role of CD38 and its ecto-NADase activity in DIC in pre-clinical models. First, we observed that DIC was prevented in the CD38 catalytically inactive (CD38-CI) transgenic mice. Both left ventricular systolic function and exercise capacity were decreased in wild-type but not in CD38-CI mice treated with DXR. Second, blocking CD38-NADase activity with the specific antibody 68 (Ab68) likewise protected mice against DIC and decreased DXR-related mortality by 50%. A reduction of DXR-induced mitochondrial dysfunction, energy deficiency, and inflammation gene expression were identified as the main mechanisms mediating the protective effects. CONCLUSION NAD+-preserving strategies by inactivation of CD38 via a genetic or a pharmacological-based approach improve cardiac energetics and reduce cardiac inflammation and dysfunction otherwise seen in an acute DXR cardiotoxicity model.

Diabetes mortality and trends before 25 years of age: an analysis of the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019. Lancet Diabetes Endocrinol 2022; 10:177-192. [PMID: 35143780 PMCID: PMC8860753 DOI: 10.1016/s2213-8587(21)00349-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 40] [Impact Index Per Article: 20.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2021] [Revised: 10/27/2021] [Accepted: 12/10/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes, particularly type 1 diabetes, at younger ages can be a largely preventable cause of death with the correct health care and services. We aimed to evaluate diabetes mortality and trends at ages younger than 25 years globally using data from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2019. METHODS We used estimates of GBD 2019 to calculate international diabetes mortality at ages younger than 25 years in 1990 and 2019. Data sources for causes of death were obtained from vital registration systems, verbal autopsies, and other surveillance systems for 1990-2019. We estimated death rates for each location using the GBD Cause of Death Ensemble model. We analysed the association of age-standardised death rates per 100 000 population with the Socio-demographic Index (SDI) and a measure of universal health coverage (UHC) and described the variability within SDI quintiles. We present estimates with their 95% uncertainty intervals. FINDINGS In 2019, 16 300 (95% uncertainty interval 14 200 to 18 900) global deaths due to diabetes (type 1 and 2 combined) occurred in people younger than 25 years and 73·7% (68·3 to 77·4) were classified as due to type 1 diabetes. The age-standardised death rate was 0·50 (0·44 to 0·58) per 100 000 population, and 15 900 (97·5%) of these deaths occurred in low to high-middle SDI countries. The rate was 0·13 (0·12 to 0·14) per 100 000 population in the high SDI quintile, 0·60 (0·51 to 0·70) per 100 000 population in the low-middle SDI quintile, and 0·71 (0·60 to 0·86) per 100 000 population in the low SDI quintile. Within SDI quintiles, we observed large variability in rates across countries, in part explained by the extent of UHC (r2=0·62). From 1990 to 2019, age-standardised death rates decreased globally by 17·0% (-28·4 to -2·9) for all diabetes, and by 21·0% (-33·0 to -5·9) when considering only type 1 diabetes. However, the low SDI quintile had the lowest decline for both all diabetes (-13·6% [-28·4 to 3·4]) and for type 1 diabetes (-13·6% [-29·3 to 8·9]). INTERPRETATION Decreasing diabetes mortality at ages younger than 25 years remains an important challenge, especially in low and low-middle SDI countries. Inadequate diagnosis and treatment of diabetes is likely to be major contributor to these early deaths, highlighting the urgent need to provide better access to insulin and basic diabetes education and care. This mortality metric, derived from readily available and frequently updated GBD data, can help to monitor preventable diabetes-related deaths over time globally, aligned with the UN's Sustainable Development Targets, and serve as an indicator of the adequacy of basic diabetes care for type 1 and type 2 diabetes across nations.

Global, regional, and national mortality among young people aged 10-24 years, 1950-2019: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019. Lancet 2021; 398:1593-1618. [PMID: 34755628 PMCID: PMC8576274 DOI: 10.1016/s0140-6736(21)01546-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 72] [Impact Index Per Article: 24.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2021] [Revised: 05/07/2021] [Accepted: 06/30/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Documentation of patterns and long-term trends in mortality in young people, which reflect huge changes in demographic and social determinants of adolescent health, enables identification of global investment priorities for this age group. We aimed to analyse data on the number of deaths, years of life lost, and mortality rates by sex and age group in people aged 10-24 years in 204 countries and territories from 1950 to 2019 by use of estimates from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2019. METHODS We report trends in estimated total numbers of deaths and mortality rate per 100 000 population in young people aged 10-24 years by age group (10-14 years, 15-19 years, and 20-24 years) and sex in 204 countries and territories between 1950 and 2019 for all causes, and between 1980 and 2019 by cause of death. We analyse variation in outcomes by region, age group, and sex, and compare annual rate of change in mortality in young people aged 10-24 years with that in children aged 0-9 years from 1990 to 2019. We then analyse the association between mortality in people aged 10-24 years and socioeconomic development using the GBD Socio-demographic Index (SDI), a composite measure based on average national educational attainment in people older than 15 years, total fertility rate in people younger than 25 years, and income per capita. We assess the association between SDI and all-cause mortality in 2019, and analyse the ratio of observed to expected mortality by SDI using the most recent available data release (2017). FINDINGS In 2019 there were 1·49 million deaths (95% uncertainty interval 1·39-1·59) worldwide in people aged 10-24 years, of which 61% occurred in males. 32·7% of all adolescent deaths were due to transport injuries, unintentional injuries, or interpersonal violence and conflict; 32·1% were due to communicable, nutritional, or maternal causes; 27·0% were due to non-communicable diseases; and 8·2% were due to self-harm. Since 1950, deaths in this age group decreased by 30·0% in females and 15·3% in males, and sex-based differences in mortality rate have widened in most regions of the world. Geographical variation has also increased, particularly in people aged 10-14 years. Since 1980, communicable and maternal causes of death have decreased sharply as a proportion of total deaths in most GBD super-regions, but remain some of the most common causes in sub-Saharan Africa and south Asia, where more than half of all adolescent deaths occur. Annual percentage decrease in all-cause mortality rate since 1990 in adolescents aged 15-19 years was 1·3% in males and 1·6% in females, almost half that of males aged 1-4 years (2·4%), and around a third less than in females aged 1-4 years (2·5%). The proportion of global deaths in people aged 0-24 years that occurred in people aged 10-24 years more than doubled between 1950 and 2019, from 9·5% to 21·6%. INTERPRETATION Variation in adolescent mortality between countries and by sex is widening, driven by poor progress in reducing deaths in males and older adolescents. Improving global adolescent mortality will require action to address the specific vulnerabilities of this age group, which are being overlooked. Furthermore, indirect effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are likely to jeopardise efforts to improve health outcomes including mortality in young people aged 10-24 years. There is an urgent need to respond to the changing global burden of adolescent mortality, address inequities where they occur, and improve the availability and quality of primary mortality data in this age group.

Senolytic agents lessen the severity of abdominal aortic aneurysm in aged mice. Exp Gerontol 2021; 151:111416. [PMID: 34022272 DOI: 10.1016/j.exger.2021.111416] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2021] [Revised: 05/16/2021] [Accepted: 05/18/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Age is a major risk factor for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), for which treatment options are limited to surgical intervention for large AAA and watchful waiting for small aneurysms. However, the factors that regulate the expansion of aneurysms are unclear. Development of new therapeutic strategies to prevent or treat small aneurysms awaits a more thorough understanding of the etiology of AAA formation and progression with aging. A variety of structural and functional changes have been reported in aging vasculature, but emerging evidence implicates senescent cells in the formation of AAA through their paracrine effects on vascular wall cell populations. Here we show that aging is associated with transcriptional changes in abdominal aortic tissue consistent with loss of smooth muscle cells, leukocyte adhesion, inflammation, and accumulation of senescent cells in the vascular wall and surrounding perivascular adipose tissue. Furthermore, aged mice demonstrated anatomical and histopathological features of AAA development in response to administration of angiotensin II over 28 days. Importantly, in our study we sought to determine if reducing senescent cells could lessen the severity of AAA in aged mice. We find that pretreatment of aged mice with oral senolytic agents (dasatinib + quercetin) reduced senescent cell abundance in the arterial walls and surrounding tissues and lessened the severity of AAA in response to angiotensin II administration. These data provide important preliminary evidence supporting a role of senescent cells in age-related AAA formation and progression and suggest that strategies to reduce senescent cell burden hold promise to lessen AAA severity.

The secretome of senescent preadipocytes influences the phenotype and function of cells of the vascular wall. Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Basis Dis 2020; 1867:165983.

Abstract
Senescent cells accumulate in numerous tissues in several chronic conditions such as aging, obesity, and diabetes. These cells are in a state of irreversible cell-cycle arrest and secrete inflammatory cytokines, chemokines and other immune modulators that have paracrine effects on nearby tissues. Adipose tissue, in particular, harbors senescent cells, which have been linked with numerous chronic conditions and age-related comorbidities. Here we performed a series of in vitro experiments to determine the influence of senescent preadipocytes on key cell types found in vessel walls, including vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), endothelial cells (ECs), macrophages (MQs), and adipose-derived stromal/stem cells (ASCs). Primary human preadipocytes were irradiated to trigger a senescence-like phenotype. VSMCs, ECs, MQs, and ASCs were exposed to conditioned media collected from irradiated preadipocytes or control preadipocytes. Additional experiments were performed where VSMCs, ECs, MQs, and ASCs were co-cultured with irradiated or control preadipocytes. The secretome of irradiated cells induced an inflammatory phenotype, decreased cell viability, disrupted proliferation and migration, and impaired metabolic function of these cell types in vitro. These maladaptive changes in response to senescent cell exposure provide early evidence in support of a hypothesis that senescent preadipocytes trigger phenotypic and functional changes in key cellular components of blood vessels that may contribute to vascular disease.

HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein) Cholesterol Efflux Capacity Is Associated With Incident Cardiovascular Disease in the General Population. Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol 2019; 39:1874-1883.

Abstract
Objective:
Focus is shifting from HDL-C (high-density lipoprotein cholesterol) as predictive biomarker for cardiovascular disease (CVD) towards antiatherogenic HDL functionalities. Still, limited data exist on the prospective association of HDL function metrics with CVD events. The current work aimed to determine, if baseline HDL-C efflux capacity (CEC) is associated with future CVD events in the general population.
Approach and Results:
We performed a prospective study among participants of the PREVEND (Prevention of Renal and Vascular End-stage Disease) cohort (follow-up, 12 years). From the overall n=8592 subjects 325 with previous CVD events were excluded; of the remaining 8267 eligible participants all subjects with new CVD events during follow-up were selected and individually matched to controls for age, sex, smoking status, and HDL-C levels. CEC at baseline was quantified using human THP-1-derived macrophage foam cells and apolipoprotein B-depleted plasma. Despite identical HDL-C and apoA (apolipoprotein)-I levels between cases (n=351) and controls (n=354) CEC was significantly lower in cases (0.93±0.29 versus 1.01±0.24 arbitrary units;
P
<0.001). In all subjects combined, CEC correlated positively with HDL-C and apoA-I and negatively with body mass index, hsCRP (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein), and urinary albumin excretion. CEC was inversely associated with incident CVD events, both expressed per quartile and per 1 SD change (odds ratio, 0.73; 95% CI, 0.62–0.86;
P
<0.001); this association remained significant after adjustments for HDL-C, hsCRP, kidney function, and several other clinical covariates.
Conclusions:
Combined these data demonstrate that in the general population baseline CEC is significantly associated with the future development of CVD events independent of HDL-C and apoA-I plasma levels.

Cholesterol efflux capacity is impaired in subjects with an elevated Fatty Liver Index, a proxy of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Atherosclerosis 2018; 277:21-27.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) parallels the obesity epidemic and associates with components of the metabolic syndrome (MetS). Cholesterol efflux capacity (CEC) represents a key metric of high density lipoprotein (HDL) function which may predict atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD). Here we assessed the relationship of CEC with NAFLD. METHODS CEC was determined from THP-1 macrophage foam cells towards apolipoprotein B-depleted plasma among 639 subjects (454 men; 36 subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D); 226 with MetS), participating in the Prevention of Renal and Vascular End-Stage Disease (PREVEND) study. A Fatty Liver Index (FLI) ≥ 60 was used as a proxy of NAFLD. RESULTS 372 participants had a FLI ≥60, which coincided with an increased prevalence of T2D and MetS (p = 0.009 and p < 0.001), as well as with central obesity, higher systolic blood pressure, glucose, total cholesterol, triglycerides and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), and decreased HDL cholesterol (p < 0.001 for each). In multivariable linear regression analyses, CEC was inversely associated with an elevated FLI, when taking account of clinical covariates (fully adjusted model: β = -0.091, p = 0.043), and alternatively when taking account of systolic blood pressure, waist/hip ratio, glucose, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides and hsCRP (fully adjusted model: β = -0.103, p = 0.034). CONCLUSIONS Impaired CEC is associated with NAFLD, as inferred from a FLI≥60, even when taking account of lower HDL cholesterol and enhanced low-grade chronic inflammation. Reduced CEC could contribute to accelerated CVD in NAFLD patients.

The anti-inflammatory function of HDL is impaired in type 2 diabetes: role of hyperglycemia, paraoxonase-1 and low grade inflammation. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2017; 16:132.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Functional properties of high density lipoproteins (HDL) are increasingly recognized to play a physiological role in atheroprotection. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is characterized by low HDL cholesterol, but the effect of chronic hyperglycemia on the anti-inflammatory capacity of HDL, a metric of HDL function, is unclear. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to establish the impact of T2DM on the HDL anti-inflammatory capacity, taking paraoxonase-1 (PON-1) activity and low grade inflammation into account. METHODS The HDL anti-inflammatory capacity, determined as the ability to suppress tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) induced vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) mRNA expression in endothelial cells in vitro (higher values indicate lower anti-inflammatory capacity), PON-1 (arylesterase) activity, hs-C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), serum amyloid A (SAA) and TNF-α were compared in 40 subjects with T2DM (no insulin or statin treatment) and 36 non-diabetic subjects. RESULTS T2DM was associated with impaired HDL anti-inflammatory capacity (3.18 vs 1.05 fold increase in VCAM-1 mRNA expression; P < 0.001), coinciding with decreased HDL cholesterol (P = 0.001), apolipoprotein A-I (P = 0.038) and PON-1 activity (P = 0.023), as well as increased hs-CRP (P = 0.043) and TNF-α (P = 0.005). In all subjects combined, age- and sex-adjusted multivariable linear regression analysis demonstrated that impaired HDL anti-inflammatory capacity was associated with hyperglycemia (β = 0.499, P < 0.001), lower PON-1 activity (β = - 0.192, P = 0.030) and higher hs-CRP (β = 0.220, P = 0.016). CONCLUSIONS The HDL anti-inflammatory capacity is substantially impaired in T2DM, at least partly attributable to the degree of hyperglycemia, decreased PON-1 activity and enhanced low grade chronic inflammation. Decreased anti-inflammatory protection capacity of HDL conceivably contributes to the increased atherosclerosis risk associated with T2DM.

HDL Cholesterol Efflux Does Not Predict Cardiovascular Risk in Hemodialysis Patients. J Am Soc Nephrol 2016; 28:769-775.

Abstract
The cardioprotective effect of HDL is thought to be largely determined by its cholesterol efflux capacity, which was shown to inversely correlate with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in populations with normal kidney function. Patients with ESRD suffer an exceptionally high cardiovascular risk not fully explained by traditional risk factors. Here, in a post hoc analysis in 1147 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus on hemodialysis who participated in the German Diabetes Dialysis Study (4D Study), we investigated whether the HDL cholesterol efflux capacity is predictive for cardiovascular risk. Efflux capacity was quantified by incubating human macrophage foam cells with apoB-depleted serum. During a median follow-up of 4.1 years, 423 patients reached the combined primary end point (composite of cardiac death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, and stroke), 410 patients experienced cardiac events, and 561 patients died. Notably, in Cox regression analyses, we found no association of efflux capacity with the combined primary end point (hazard ratio [HR], 0.96; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 0.88 to 1.06; P=0.42), cardiac events (HR, 0.92; 95% CI, 0.83 to 1.02; P=0.11), or all-cause mortality (HR, 0.96; 95% CI, 0.88 to 1.05; P=0.39). In conclusion, HDL cholesterol efflux capacity is not a prognostic cardiovascular risk marker in this cohort of patients with diabetes on hemodialysis.

The cardioprotective effect of HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein) is largely determined by its cholesterol efflux capacity, which was shown to correlate inversely with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in populations with normal kidney function. Patients with end-stage renal disease suffer an exceptionally high cardiovascular risk not fully explained by traditional risk factors. Here, we investigated in a

Efflux capacity was quantified by incubating human macrophage foam cells with apolipoprotein B-depleted serum. During a median follow-up of 4.1 years n=423 patients reached the combined primary endpoint (composite of cardiac death, nonfatal myocardial infarction and stroke), n=410 experienced cardiac events and n=561 died (all-cause mortality). Strikingly, in Cox regression analysis we found no association of efflux capacity with the combined primary endpoint (hazard ratio [HR], 0.96; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.88 – 1.06,
p
=0.417), cardiac events (HR, 0.92; CI, 0.83-1.02;
p
=0.108) or all-cause mortality (HR 0.96; 95% CI, 0.88-1.05;

Abstract
BACKGROUND Protection of low-density lipoproteins (LDL) against oxidative modification is a key anti-atherosclerotic property of high-density lipoproteins (HDL). This study evaluated the predictive value of the HDL antioxidative function for cardiovascular mortality, all-cause mortality and chronic graft failure in renal transplant recipients (RTR). METHODS The capacity of HDL to inhibit native LDL oxidation was determined in vitro in a prospective cohort of renal transplant recipients (RTR, n = 495, median follow-up 7.0 years). RESULTS The HDL antioxidative functionality was significantly higher in patients experiencing graft failure (57.4 ± 9.7%) than in those without (54.2 ± 11.3%; P = 0.039), while there were no differences for cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. Specifically glomerular filtration rate (P = 0.001) and C-reactive protein levels (P = 0.006) associated independently with antioxidative functionality in multivariate linear regression analyses. Cox regression analysis demonstrated a significant relationship between antioxidative functionality of HDL and graft failure in age-adjusted analyses, but significance was lost following adjustment for baseline kidney function and inflammatory load. No significant association was found between HDL antioxidative functionality and cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. CONCLUSION This study demonstrates that the antioxidative function of HDL (i) does not predict cardiovascular or all-cause mortality in RTR, but (ii) conceivably contributes to the development of graft failure, however, not independent of baseline kidney function and inflammatory load.
