Senolytics rescue blunted muscle hypertrophy in old mice

ABSTRACT: With aging, skeletal muscle plasticity is attenuated in response to exercise. Here, we report that senescent cells, identified using senescence markers senescence-associated β-Galactosidase (SA β-Gal) and p21 are very infrequent in resting muscle but emerge approximately two-weeks after a bout of resistance exercise in humans. We hypothesized that these cells contribute to blunted hypertrophic potential in old age. Using synergist ablation-induced mechanical overload of the plantaris muscle to model resistance training in adult (5-6 month) and old (23-24 month) male C57BL/6J mice, we found increased senescent cells in both age groups during hypertrophy. Consistent with the human data, there were negligible senescent cells in adult and old sham controls, but old mice had significantly more senescent cells 7- and 14-days following overload relative to young. Old mice had blunted whole muscle hypertrophy when compared to adult mice, along with smaller muscle fibers, specifically glycolytic Type 2x+2b fibers. To ablate senescent cells using a hit-and-run approach, old mice were treated with vehicle or a senolytic cocktail consisting of 5 mg/kg dasatinib and 50 mg/kg quercetin (D+Q) on day 7 and 10 during 14-days of overload; control mice underwent sham surgery with or without senolytic treatment. Old mice given D+Q had larger muscles and muscle fibers after 14 days of overload, fewer senescent cells when compared to vehicle-treated old mice, and changes in the expression of genes (i.e., Igf1, Ddit4, Mmp14) that are associated with hypertrophic growth . Our data collectively show that senescent cells emerge in human and mouse skeletal muscle following a hypertrophic stimulus, and that D+Q improves muscle growth in old mice.

Muscle injury induces a transient senescence-like state that is required for myofiber growth during muscle regeneration

Project description:Cellular senescence is the irreversible arrest of normally dividing cells and is driven by the cell cycle inhibitors Cdkn2a, Cdkn1a, and Trp53. Senescent cells are implicated in chronic diseases and tissue repair through their increased secretion of proinflammatory factors known as the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Here, we use spatial transcriptomics and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) to demonstrate that cells displaying senescent characteristics are “transiently" present within regenerating skeletal muscle and within the muscles of D2-mdx mice, a model of Muscular Dystrophy. Following injury, multiple cell types including macrophages and fibro-adipogenic progenitors (FAPs) upregulate senescent features such as senescence pathway genes, SASP factors, and senescence-associated beta-gal (SA-β-gal) activity. Importantly, when these cells were removed with ABT-263, a senolytic compound, satellite cells are reduced, and muscle fibers were impaired in growth and myonuclear accretion.

Single-cell profiling of skeletal muscle reveals a novel senolytic target; CRYAB

Project description:Skeletal muscle mass and function decline with aging, a process known as sarcopenia, and is linked to functional alterations of critical cell types within mature muscle, including fibro-adipogenic progenitors (FAPs) and satellite cells (SCs). Senescence is a form of cellular arrest linked with degenerative diseases of aging, and is thought to be a key driver of aging pathophysiology. We utilized single-cell RNA sequencing to identify novel targets in isolated FAPs and SCs which potentiate senescent cell killing - a process termed senolysis. Using molecular and cellular approaches, we identified the small alpha crystalline heat shock protein CRYAB as a novel senolytic target. We targeted CRYAB using chemical inhibitor screening to identify 25-hydroxycholesterol (25HC), an endogenous metabolite of cholesterol biosynthesis as a potent senolytic capable of killing senescent cells. We validated the potential of 25HC as a senolytic in both mouse and human cells, and in vivo in several tissues including muscle and fat. 25HC treatment therefore represents a potential new class of senolytics, which may be useful in combating diseases or physiologies in which cellular senescence is a key driver.

Extracellular matrix remodelling is associated with muscle force increase in overloaded mouse plantaris muscle.

Project description:Aims: Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) signalling is thought to contribute to the remodelling of extracellular matrix (ECM) of skeletal muscle and to functional decline in patients with muscular dystrophies. We wanted to determine the role of TGF-β-induced ECM remodelling in dystrophic muscle. Methods: We experimentally induced the pathological hallmarks of severe muscular dystrophy by mechanically overloading the plantaris muscle in mice. Furthermore, we determined the role of TGF-β signalling on dystrophic tissue modulation and on muscle function by (i) overloading myostatin knockout (Mstn-/- ) mice and (ii) by additional pharmacological TGF-β inhibition via halofuginone. Results: Transcriptome analysis of overloaded muscles revealed upregulation predominantly of genes associated with ECM, inflammation and metalloproteinase activity. Histology revealed in wild-type mice signs of severe muscular dystrophy including myofibres with large variation in size and internalized myonuclei, as well as increased ECM deposition. At the same time, muscle weight had increased by 208% and muscle force by 234%. Myostatin deficiency blunted the effect of overload on muscle mass (59% increase) and force (76% increase), while having no effect on ECM deposition. Concomitant treatment with halofuginone blunted overload-induced muscle hypertrophy and muscle force increase, while reducing ECM deposition and increasing myofibre size. Conclusions: ECM remodelling is associated with an increase in muscle mass and force in overload-modelled dystrophic muscle. Lack of myostatin is not advantageous and inhibition of ECM deposition by halofuginone is disadvantageous for muscle plasticity in response to stimuli that induce dystrophic muscle.

The YAP-TEAD complex promotes senescent cell survival by lowering endoplasmic reticulum stress [scRNA-seq_mouse]

Project description:Sublethal cell damage can trigger a complex adaptive program known as senescence, characterized by growth arrest, resistance to apoptosis, and a senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). As senescent cells accumulating in aging organs are linked to many age-associated diseases, senotherapeutic strategies are actively sought to eliminate them. Here, a whole-genome CRISPR knockout screen revealed that proteins in the YAP-TEAD pathway influenced senescent cell viability. Accordingly, treating senescent cells with a drug that inhibited this pathway, Verteporfin (VPF), selectively triggered apoptotic cell death and derepressed DDIT4, in turn inhibiting mTOR. Reducing mTOR function in senescent cells diminished endoplasmic reticulum (ER) biogenesis, causing ER stress and apoptosis due to high demands on ER function by the SASP. Importantly, VPF treatment decreased senescent cell numbers in the organs of old mice and mice exhibiting doxorubicin-induced senescence. We present a novel senolytic strategy that eliminates senescent cells by hindering ER activity required for SASP production.

Nintedanib induces senolytic effect via STAT3 inhibition

Project description:Selective removal of senescent cells, or the concept of senolytic therapy, has been proposed to be a potent strategy for overcoming age-related diseases and even reversing aging. We found that nintedanib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, selectively induced cell death in primary human diploid fibroblasts undergoing replicative senescence. Similar to ABT263, a well-known senolytic agent, nintedanib triggered intrinsic apoptosis in senescent cells. Additionally, at the concentration producing the senolytic effect, nintedanib arrested the cell cycle of nonsenescent cells in the G1 phase without cytotoxicity. Interestingly, compared with ABT263, nintedanib showed a different mode of activating caspase-9 in the intrinsic apoptotic pathway, in that nintedanib did not suppress the levels of Bcl-2 family proteins in senescent cells. In more detail, nintedanib suppressed the activation of the JAK2/STAT3 pathway, which caused drug-induced cell death in senescent cells. STAT3 knockdown in senescent cells also induced caspase activation. Moreover, nintedanib reduced the number of senescent cells stained based on senescence-associated β-galactosidase activity and airway resistance in a mouse model of bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis. Overall, we identified that nintedanib could be used as a new senolytic agent and that inhibiting STAT3 could be a potential approach for inducing selective cell death in senescent cells. Our findings will pave the way for expanding senolytic toolkits in response to various aging statuses and age-related diseases.
