Abstract
Aims
This study aimed to assess metabolic responses and senescent cell burden in young female mice induced to estropause and treated with senolytic drugs.
Main methods
Estropause was induced by 4-vinylcyclohexene diepoxide (VCD) injection in two-month-old mice. The senolytics dasatinib and quercetin (D + Q) or fisetin were given by oral gavage once a month from five to 11 months of age.
Key findings
VCD-induced estropause led to increased body mass and reduced albumin concentrations compared to untreated cyclic mice, without affecting insulin sensitivity, lipid profile, liver enzymes, or total proteins. Estropause decreased catalase activity in adipose tissue but had no significant effect on other redox parameters in adipose and hepatic tissues. Fisetin treatment reduced ROS levels in the hepatic tissue of estropause mice. Estropause did not influence senescence-associated beta-galactosidase activity in adipose and hepatic tissues but increased senescent cell markers and fibrosis in ovaries. Senolytic treatment did not decrease ovarian cellular senescence induced by estropause.
Significance
Overall, the findings suggest that estropause leads to minor metabolic changes in young females, and the senolytics D + Q and fisetin had no protective effects despite increased ovarian senescence.
期刊介绍:
Life Sciences is an international journal publishing articles that emphasize the molecular, cellular, and functional basis of therapy. The journal emphasizes the understanding of mechanism that is relevant to all aspects of human disease and translation to patients. All articles are rigorously reviewed.
The Journal favors publication of full-length papers where modern scientific technologies are used to explain molecular, cellular and physiological mechanisms. Articles that merely report observations are rarely accepted. Recommendations from the Declaration of Helsinki or NIH guidelines for care and use of laboratory animals must be adhered to. Articles should be written at a level accessible to readers who are non-specialists in the topic of the article themselves, but who are interested in the research. The Journal welcomes reviews on topics of wide interest to investigators in the life sciences. We particularly encourage submission of brief, focused reviews containing high-quality artwork and require the use of mechanistic summary diagrams.
