Clearance of Stress-Induced Premature Senescent Cells Alleviates the Formation of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms.


ABSTRACT: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a multifactorial disease characterized by various pathophysiological processes, including chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, and proteolytic activity in the aortic wall. Stress-induced premature senescence (SIPS) has been implicated in regulating these pathophysiological processes, but whether SIPS contributes to AAA formation remains unknown. Here, we detected SIPS in AAA from patients and young mice. The senolytic agent ABT263 prevented AAA development by inhibiting SIPS. Additionally, SIPS promoted the transformation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) from a contractile phenotype to a synthetic phenotype, whereas inhibition of SIPS by the senolytic drug ABT263 suppressed VSMC phenotypic switching. RNA sequencing and single-cell RNA sequencing analysis revealed that fibroblast growth factor 9 (FGF9), secreted by stress-induced premature senescent VSMCs, was a key regulator of VSMC phenotypic switching and that FGF9 knockdown abolished this effect. We further showed that the FGF9 level was critical for the activation of PDGFRβ/ERK1/2 signaling, facilitating VSMC phenotypic change. Taken together, our findings demonstrated that SIPS is critical for VSMC phenotypic switching through the activation of FGF9/PDGFRβ/ERK1/2 signaling, promoting AAA development and progression. Thus, targeting SIPS with the senolytic agent ABT263 may be a valuable therapeutic strategy for the prevention or treatment of AAA.
