Senolytic cell therapy identifies and reverses cellular senescence as a driver of aging-associated defects in intestinal regeneration and fitness

ABSTRACT: Organismal homeostasis is dependent on efficient tissue regeneration. Embedded within the highest self-renewing organ, intestinal stem cells (ISCs) drive the rapid regeneration of the gut epithelium. During aging, however, their regenerative capacity is significantly reduced albeit the exact mechanisms behind this decrease remain to be fully understood. Cellular senescence is a key feature of the aging process; yet little is known about the in vivo presence and functional consequences of senescent cells on the intestinal stem cell niche. Here, we identify, isolate and characterize the accumulation of senescent cells in the murine and human aging guts. To achieve their in vivo targeted ablation, we harness autologous senolytic CAR T cells, and uncover a detrimental impact of senescent cells on ISC function in natural aging and injury. Thus, therapeutic and prophylactic elimination of intestinal senescent cells is sufficient to either rejuvenate or prevent the functional decline in the regenerative potential of aged ISCs resulting in improvements in both epithelial integrity and mucosal immune function. Overall, these findings identify the in vivo deleterious role of senescent cells on the aged intestinal stem cell niche and provide proof of concept of the potential of targeted cell therapies to enhance tissue regeneration in aging organisms.

Anti-uPAR CAR T cells reverse and prevent aging-associated defects in intestinal regeneration and fitness

Project description:Intestinal stem cells (ISCs) drive the rapid regeneration of the gut epithelium. However, during aging their regenerative capacity is reduced, possibly through senescence and chronic inflammation, albeit little is known about how aging-associated dysfunction arises in the intestine. We previously identified the urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) as a senescence-associated protein in other tissues and developed CAR T cells able to efficiently target it. Harnessing them, here, we identify the accumulation of uPAR-positive cells in the aging gut and uncover their detrimental impact on ISC function in aging. Thus, both therapeutic and prophylactic treatment with anti-uPAR CAR T cells improved barrier function, regenerative capacity, inflammation, and mucosal immune function in aged mice. Overall, these findings reveal the deleterious role of uPAR-positive cells on intestinal aging in vivo and provide proof of concept for the potential of targeted immune-based cell therapies to enhance tissue regeneration in aging organisms.

Polyamines sustain epithelial regeneration in aged intestines by modulating protein homeostasis

Project description:Aging hampers the regenerative potential of intestinal epithelium across species including humans, yet the underlying causes remain elusive. Here, using proteomic and metabolomic profiling of intestinal tissues together with functional assays, we characterized the temporal dynamics of regeneration following injury induced by 5-fluorouracil, a commonly used chemotherapeutic agent. Comparison of regeneration dynamics in mice of different ages revealed the emergence of proteostasis stress and increased levels of polyamines following injury exclusively in old epithelia. We show that delayed regeneration is an intrinsic feature of aged epithelial cells that display reduced protein synthesis and accumulation of ubiquitylated proteins. Inhibition of the polyamine pathway in vivo further delays regeneration in old mice, while its activation by dietary intervention or supplementation of polyamines is sufficient to enhance the regenerative capacity of aged intestines. Our findings highlight promising epithelial targets for interventions aimed at tackling the decline in tissue repair mechanisms associated with aging.

A skeletal-muscle senescence blueprint defines an aged-like inflamed niche that inhibits regeneration over lifetime [RNA-seq]

Project description:A new sorting protocol was used to identify and isolate different senescent cell types from damaged muscles of young and geriatric mice. Analysis revealed conservation of two universal senescence hallmarks (inflammation and fibrosis) across cell type, regeneration time, and aging, while cell identity traits were preserved. Senescent cells create an “aged-like” inflamed niche, mirroring inflammation-associated with aging (inflammaging), that arrests stem cell proliferation and regeneration.

MethylC-Seq: Intestinal stem cell aging signature reveals a reprogramming strategy to enhance regenerative potential

Project description:The impact of aging on intestinal stem cells (ISCs) has not been fully elucidated. In this study, we identified widespread epigenetic and transcriptional alterations in old ISCs. Using a reprogramming algorithm, we identified a set of key transcription factors (Egr1, Irf1, FosB) that drives molecular and functional differences between old and young states. Overall, by dissecting the molecular signature of aged ISCs, our study identified transcription factors that enhance the regenerative capacity of ISCs.
