Abstract
The protective effects of mangiferin (MAG) against etoposide- and high glucose (HG)–induced DNA damage and aging were investigated in human bone marrow-mesenchymal stem cells (hBM-MSCs). Etoposide, a topoisomerase II inhibitor, was used to induce double-strand breaks (DSBs) in hBM-MSCs, resulting in increased genotoxicity, elevated levels of the DNA damage sensor ATM and CDKN1A, and decreased levels of the aging markers H3 and H4. MAG activated AMPK and SIRT1, thus protecting against DSB-induced damage. Following long-term exposure to HG, MAG significantly mitigated DNA damage and delayed cellular aging, as evidenced by the preservation of H3, H4, LMNB1, and SIRT1 mRNA levels and reduction in γ-H2AX foci and DSBs. Furthermore, MAG improved genome stability, as indicated by decreased LINE1 expression and increased levels of the heterochromatin marker TRIM28, thereby maintaining H3K9me3 levels. MAG and metformin treatment enhanced cell proliferation, reduced senescence-associated β-galactosidase staining, and lowered the levels of the senescence-associated secretory phenotype factors IL-1A, IL-1B, IL-6, IL-8, CCL2, and CCL20 and senescence marker CDKN1A, CDKN2A and p53. MAG may reduce DNA damage and delay aging in hBM-MSCs under HG conditions, highlighting their potential as therapeutic agents for aging-related diseases.
期刊介绍:
Mechanisms of Ageing and Development is a multidisciplinary journal aimed at revealing the molecular, biochemical and biological mechanisms that underlie the processes of aging and development in various species as well as of age-associated diseases. Emphasis is placed on investigations that delineate the contribution of macromolecular damage and cytotoxicity, genetic programs, epigenetics and genetic instability, mitochondrial function, alterations of metabolism and innovative anti-aging approaches. For all of the mentioned studies it is necessary to address the underlying mechanisms.
Mechanisms of Ageing and Development publishes original research, review and mini-review articles. The journal also publishes Special Issues that focus on emerging research areas. Special issues may include all types of articles following peered review. Proposals should be sent directly to the Editor-in-Chief.
