A hallmark of PD is the presence of misfolded α-synuclein (α-syn) proteins and their neurotoxic accumulations, contributing to neuronal loss. Additionally, the inflammatory response plays a critical role in modulating the neurodegeneration process in PD. Moreover, peripheral macrophages recognize α-syn, triggering chronic inflammation in both the bloodstream and brain tissue, leading to elevated levels of proinflammatory cytokines, as it was observed in PD patient samples. Insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) is a secreted factor with neuroprotective properties in several neurodegenerative disease models. Moreover, IGF2 signaling has been implicated in the cellular reprogramming of macrophages to an anti-inflammatory phenotype through epigenetic changes. Recently, reduced IGF2 levels in both plasma and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from PD patient samples were reported, suggesting a potential link between IGF2 levels and inflammation. In this study, we investigated the inflammatory profile of PD patients and the effect of IGF2-reprogrammed macrophages in in vitro and in vivo PD models. Here, we report a significant increase in proinflammatory markers in PBMCs from PD patients. IGF2 treatment prevented α-syn-induced pro-inflammatory profile in murine primary macrophages. Notably, IGF2-reprogrammed macrophage treatment significantly reduced motor impairment, α-syn accumulation, and microglial activation in the Substantia Nigra across different stages of disease progression in the PD preclinical model.

However, the multifaceted role of BRD4 in IDD is still not fully understood. This study explored the abnormal elevation of BRD4 expression in nucleus pulposus (NP) tissues from patients with IDD and in an age-related rat model of IDD. We found that BRD4 levels were positively correlated with NP senescence and extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation and inversely correlated with ECM anabolism.

Mechanistically, aberrant BRD4 expression was found to upregulate MAP2K7, which in turn enhances PGF expression, promoting NP cell senescence and ECM metabolism.

Additionally, some drugs have also been shown to slow aging in rodents. To better understand metabolic mechanisms that are involved in increased lifespan, we analyzed metabolomic differences in six organs of 12-month-old mice using five interventions leading to extended longevity, specifically caloric restriction, 17-α estradiol, and caloric restriction mimetics rapamycin, canagliflozin, and acarbose. These interventions generally have a stronger effect in males than in females. Using Jonckheere's trend test to associate increased average lifespans with metabolic changes for each sex, we found sexual dimorphism in metabolism of plasma, liver, gastrocnemius muscle, kidney, and inguinal fat. Plasma showed the strongest trend of differentially expressed compounds, highlighting potential benefits of plasma in tracking healthy aging. Using chemical set enrichment analysis, we found that the majority of these affected compounds were lipids, particularly in male tissues, in addition to significant differences in trends for amino acids, which were particularly apparent in the kidney. We also found strong metabolomic effects in adipose tissues. Inguinal fat exhibited surprising increases in neutral lipids with polyunsaturated side chains in male mice. In female mice, gonadal fat showed trends proportional to lifespan extension effect across multiple lipid classes, particularly phospholipids. Interestingly, for most tissues, we found similar changes induced by lifespan-extending interventions to metabolomic differences between untreated 12-month-old mice and 4-month-old mice.

Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) inhibitors (HSP90i), traditionally investigated for cancer treatment, have shown potential as senolytic agents. However, inhibitors face formulation, toxicity, and cost challenges. To overcome these limitations, we employed a virtual screening approach combining structure-based prefiltering with a ligand-based pharmacophore model to identify novel, potentially safe HSP90 alpha isoform inhibitors exhibiting senolytic properties. This strategy identified 14 candidate molecules evaluated for senolytic activity in primary human fetal pulmonary fibroblasts. Four compounds exhibited significant HSP90i and senolytic activity, including two novel compounds, namely K4 and K5. The latter, 1-benzyl-3-(2-methylphenyl)-3,7-dihydro-1H-purine-2,6-dione, structurally related to the xanthinic family, emerged as a promising, well-tolerated senolytic agent. K5 demonstrated senolytic activity across various cellular senescence models, including human fibroblasts, mesenchymal stem cells, and breast cancer cells. It was also effective in vivo, extending lifespan in Drosophila and reducing senescence markers in geriatric mice. Additionally, the xanthinic nature of K5 implicates a multimodal action, now including the inhibition of HSP90α, that might enhance its efficacy and selectivity towards senescent cells, Senolytic index SI > 1320 for IMR90 cells, and SI > 770 for WI38 cells, underscoring its therapeutic potential.

Herein, we investigated the impact of 8-week ELAM treatment on pre- and post-measures of C57BL/6J mice frailty, skeletal muscle, and cardiac muscle function, coupled with post-treatment assessments of biological age and affected molecular pathways. We found that health status, as measured by frailty index, cardiac strain, diastolic function, and skeletal muscle force, is significantly diminished with age, with skeletal muscle force changing in a sex-dependent manner. Conversely, ELAM mitigated frailty accumulation and was able to partially reverse these declines, as evidenced by treatment-induced increases in cardiac strain and muscle fatigue resistance. Despite these improvements, we did not detect statistically significant changes in gene expression or DNA methylation profiles indicative of molecular reorganization or reduced biological age in most ELAM-treated groups. However, pathway analyses revealed that ELAM treatment showed pro-longevity shifts in gene expression, such as upregulation of genes involved in fatty acid metabolism, mitochondrial translation, and oxidative phosphorylation, and downregulation of inflammation. Together, these results indicate that ELAM treatment is effective at mitigating signs of sarcopenia and cardiac dysfunction in an aging mouse model, but that these functional improvements occur independently of detectable changes in epigenetic and transcriptomic age. Thus, some age-related changes in function may be uncoupled from changes in molecular biological age.</p>","PeriodicalId":119,"journal":{"name":"Aging Cell","volume":" ","pages":"e70026"},"PeriodicalIF":8.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143622860","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
