Ganoderic acid D prevents oxidative stress-induced senescence by targeting 14-3-3ε to activate CaM/CaMKII/NRF2 signaling pathway in mesenchymal stem cells.

ABSTRACT: Stem cell senescence is an important cause of aging. Delaying senescence may present a novel way to combat aging and age-associated diseases. This study provided a mechanistic insight into the protective effect of ganoderic acid D (GA-D) against human amniotic mesenchymal stem cell (hAMSCs) senescence. GA-D, a Ganoderma lucidum-derived triterpenoid, markedly prevented hAMSCs senescence via activating the Ca²⁺ calmodulin (CaM)/CaM-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII)/nuclear erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) axis, and 14-3-3ε was identified as a target of GA-D. 14-3-3ε-encoding gene (YWHAE) knockdown in hAMSCs reversed the activation of the CaM/CaMKII/Nrf2 signals to attenuate the GA-D anti-aging effect and increase senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal), p16 and p21
