Cerium Oxide Nanoparticles Achieve Long-Lasting Senescence Inhibition in an Aging Mouse Model of Sarcopenia via Reactive Oxygen Species Scavenging and CILP2 Downregulation.

ABSTRACT: Most drugs used to treat sarcopenia are ineffective. Herein, the long-acting anti-sarcopenic properties of cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeNPs) and their underlying mechanisms of action are investigated in aging mice (treated with 4-hydroperoxy cyclophosphamide (4-HC)). CeNPs (size, 27.5 nm) with a fluorite crystallization structure are synthesized and subjected to X-ray diffraction and gas adsorption analyzes. Synthesized CeNPs exhibit Ce³⁺ and Ce⁴⁺ on their surfaces, a specific surface area within the standard range, and self-regenerative antioxidative functions. Synthesized CeNPs reduce reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and exhibit good biocompatibility in muscle satellite (C2C12) cells. According to Rotarod, tensile, and histological analyzes, CeNP treatment once
