Low dose chronic angiotensin II induces selective senescence of kidney endothelial cells

ABSTRACT: Here we evaluated the contribution of cellular senescence to the effect of chronic exposure to low dose angiotensin II in a mouse model that mimics the initiation of hypertension. We utilized the INK-ATTAC (p16ink4a - Apoptosis Through Targeted Activation of Caspase 8) mouse model that allows for conditional elimination of p16ink4a -dependent senescent cells by administration of AP20187. INK-ATTAC mice received continuous low doses of angiotensin II over 3 weeks and AP20187 vs vehicle. In the kidneys increased expression of ATM, p15 and p21 matched with angiotensin II induction of senescence-associated secretory phenotype genes MMP3, FGF2, IGFBP2, and tPA. AP20187-mediated elimination of p16-dependent senescent cells prevented physiologic, cellular and molecular responses to angiotensin II. We conclude that angiotensin II induces a relatively selective senescence transformation of renal endothelial cells that could provide a novel therapeutic target for senolytic drugs as alternative treatment options for hypertension and resulting tissue damage.

Whole-Body Senescent Cell Clearance Alleviates Age-Related Brain Inflammation and Cognitive Impairment in Mice

Project description:Cellular senescence is characterized by an irreversible cell cycle arrest and a pro-inflammatory senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), which is a major contributor to aging and age-related diseases. Clearance of senescent cells has been shown to improve brain function in mouse models of neurodegenerative diseases. However, it is still unknown whether senescent cell clearance alleviates cognitive dysfunction during the aging process. To investigate this, we first conducted single-nuclei and single-cell RNA-seq in the hippocampus from young and aged mice. We observed an age-dependent increase in p16Ink4a senescent cells, which was more pronounced in microglia and oligodendrocyte progenitor cells and characterized by a SASP. We then aged INK-ATTAC mice, in which p16Ink4a-positive senescent cells can be genetically eliminated upon treatment with the drug AP20187 and treated them either with AP20187 or with the senolytic cocktail Dasatinib and Quercetin. We observed that both strategies resulted in a decrease in p16Ink4a exclusively in the microglial population, resulting in reduced microglial activation and reduced expression of SASP factors. Importantly, both approaches significantly improved cognitive function in aged mice. Our data provide proof-of-concept for senolytic interventions’ being a potential therapeutic avenue for alleviating age-associated cognitive impairment.

Acceleration of beta cell aging plays a key role in diabetes and senolysis improves metabolic, functional and cellular outcomes

Project description:The risk of type 2 diabetes increases with age. Although changes in function and proliferation of aged beta cells resemble those preceding the development of diabetes, the contribution of beta cell aging and senescence remains unclear. The proportion of aged beta cells increases with animal age but even in young mice, senescent beta cells can be found. We showed that different models of insulin resistance accelerated aging and senescence marker expression in beta cells, BGal, led to loss of function and impaired glucose tolerance. Clearance of p16Ink4a+ cells, using the INK-ATTAC mouse model, ameliorated glucose metabolism, insulin secretion and decreased expression of aging, senescence and SASP genes in pancreatic islets. Senolytic drug ABT263 also improved glucose metabolism and beta cell identity when administered during insulin resistance. Human beta cells from diabetic and non-diabetic donors shared some of the same biology laying the foundation for translation into humans. These novel findings lay the framework to pursue senolysis of beta cells as a preventive and alleviating strategy for T2D.

Early removal of senescent cells protects retinal ganglion cells loss in experimental ocular hypertension

Project description:Experimental ocular hypertension (IOP) induces senescence of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) that mimicks events occurring in human glaucoma. An established transgenic p16-3MR mouse model in which the systemic administration of the small molecule ganciclovir (GCV) selectively kills p16INK4a-expressing cells was used to compare transcriptomes of retinas from IOP and control eyes in GCV-treated and non-treated mice, to investigate how experimental removal of senescent p16INK4a-positive cells impacts retinal cells in conditions resembling glaucoma.

Senescent cell elimination modifies features of Alzheimer’s disease in 3xTg-AD mice

Project description:Cellular senescence has been associated with neurodegenerative disease and clearance of senescent cells using genetic or pharmaceutical strategies (senolytics) has demonstrated beneficial effects in mouse models investigating individual disease etiologies of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, it has remained unclear if senescent cell clearance in a mouse model exhibiting both plaque and tau pathologies modifies the disease state (3xTg). Here, we show that treatment with senolytics (ABT263 (navitoclax) or a combination of dasatinib and quercetin (D+Q)) or transgenic removal of p16-expressing cells (via INK-ATTAC) reduced microgliosis and ameliorated both amyloid and tau pathology in 3xTg mice. Using RNA sequencing, we found evidence that synaptic dysfunction and neuroinflammation was attenuated with senescent cell removal. Unfortunately, these beneficial effects were not seen with short-term senolytic treatment in mice with more advanced disease. Overall, our results further corroborate the beneficial effects senescent cell clearance could have on AD and highlight the importance of early intervention for treatment of this debilitating disease.

Senescence defines a distinct subset of myofibroblasts that orchestrates immunosuppression in pancreatic cancer

Project description:Therapeutic resistance in PDAC is largely attributed to a unique tumor microenvironment embedded with an abundance of cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs). Distinct CAF populations were recently identified, but the phenotypic drivers and specific impact of CAF heterogeneity remain unclear. In this study, we identify a subpopulation of senescent myofibroblastic CAFs (SenCAFs) in mouse and human PDAC. These SenCAFs are a subset of myofibroblastic CAFs that localize near tumors ducts, have distinct phenotypes and accumulate with PDAC progression. To assess the impact of endogenous SenCAFs in PDAC, we employed a LSL-KRASG12D;p53flox;p48-CRE;INK-ATTAC (KPPC-IA) mouse model of spontaneous PDAC with inducible senescent cell depletion. Senescence depletion with the KPPC-IA model or with the senolytic drug ABT263/Navitoclax, delayed tumor progression, reduced fibrosis, and relieved immune suppression in macrophages and T lymphocytes. Collectively, our findings demonstrate that SenCAFs promote PDAC progression and immune cell dysfunction.

Defined p16High senescent cell types are indispensable for mouse healthspan

Project description:The accumulation of senescent cells can drive many age-associated phenotypes and pathologies. Consequently, it has been proposed that removing senescent cells might extend lifespan. Here we generated two knock-in mouse models targeting the best-characterized marker of senescence, p16Ink4a. Using a genetic lineage tracing approach, we found that age-induced p16High senescence is a slow process that manifests around 10-12 months of age. The majority of p16High cells were vascular endothelial cells mostly in liver sinusoids (LSECs), and to lesser extent macrophages and adipocytes. In turn, continuous or acute elimination of p16High senescent cells disrupted blood–tissue barriers with subsequent liver and peri-vascular tissue fibrosis and health deterioration. Our data show that senescent LSECs are not replaced after removal and have important structural and functional roles in the aging organism. In turn, delaying senescence or replacement of senescent LSECs could represent a powerful tool in slowing down aging.

Cellular senescence in malignant cells promotes tumorigenesis in mouse and patient glioblastoma [10X scRNA-seq]

Project description:The goal of this study is to identify the senescent cells expressing high level of p16Ink4a (p16Ink4a Hi) in GBMs, at an early timepoint. We introduced the p16-3MR transgene in the GBM mouse model to selectively delete p16Ink4a Hi senescent cells upon ganciclovir (GCV) injection. We compared two p16-3MR+GCV to two WT+GCV control GBMs that were harvested 7 days after the last GCV injection. p16Ink4a Hi senescent cells were a subset of malignant cells, mostly grouped in the astrocyte cluster and to a lesser extend in the NP-like cluster. We also found that p16Ink4a Hi senescent cells deletion modifies the cell state of malignant cells and modulates the tumor microenvironment. This study allowed us to define a GBM senescence signature.

Effect of Hypertension of Dendritic Cell Gene Expression

Project description:Oxidative injury and inflammation have been implicated in the genesis of hypertension but the mechanisms involved are not fully understood. We describe a new pathway in which angiotensin II promotes dendritic cell (DC) activation of T cells and ultimately hypertension. NADPH oxidase-dependent superoxide production is increased 5-fold in DCs isolated from hypertensive mice as compared to sham-treated mice. This is associated with DC accumulation of protein-isoketal adducts and production of IL-6, IL-1Î² and IL-23. DCs from hypertensive mice but not sham mice promote survival and proliferation of CD8+ T cells in culture. Chemically diverse isoketal scavengers not only prevent activation and immunogenicity of DCs, but also attenuate angiotensin II-induced hypertension. Moreover, adaptive transfer of DCs from hypertensive mice prime development of hypertension in response to a subpressor dose of angiotensin II. Exposure of DCs to tert butyl hypdroperoxide promoted isoketal formation, DC stimulation of CD8+ T cell proliferation and primed hypertension in response to low dose angiotensin II. Serum isoprostanes, precursors to isoketals, were found to be elevated in humans with treated hypertension and were markedly elevated in patients with resistant hypertension. These studies show that angiotensin II-induced hypertension activates DCs, in large part by causing superoxide production and formation of isoketals. They define a new mechanism of hypertension and identify a potential new therapeutic approach for this disease. We used microarrays to detail the expression differences in dendritic cells under hypertensive conditions. Dendritic cells were isolated from mosue spleen and subsequently treated with Angiotensin II with or without co-treatment with 2-hydroxybenzylamine (2-HOBA) for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We sought to determine the effect of oxidative stress on dendritic cell expression profiles.

Transcriptome-profiling (RNA-seq) and Ribosome-profiling (Ribo-seq) in proliferation, quiescence, senescence and transformed states.

Project description:We applied in parallel RNA-Seq and Ribosome-profiling analyses to immortalized human primary BJ fibroblast cells under the following conditions: normal proliferation, quiescence (induced by serum depletion), senescence (induced by activation of the oncogenic RASG12V gene, and examined at early (5 days; pre-senescent state) and late (14 days; fully senescent state) time points), and neoplastic transformation (induced by RASG12V in the background of stable p53 and p16INK4A knockdowns and SV40 small-T expression. RNA-seq, using Illumina HiSeq 2000, was applied to BJ cells under 5 conditions: proliferation, quiescence, pre-senescence, full-senescence, and transfomed. Ribosome profiling, using Illumina HiSeq 2000, was applied to BJ cells under 5 conditions: proliferation, quiescence, pre-senescence, full-senescence, and transfomed.
