In this study, APP/PS1 mice (4- and 8-month-old) and age-matched wild-type mice were used to assess the bone vascular alteration and its role in AD-related bone loss. Transmission electron microscopy, immunofluorescence staining and iGPS 1.0 software database were utilized to investigate the molecular mechanism. Mitochondrial division inhibitor (Mdivi-1) and GSK-3β inhibitor (LiCl) were used to rescue type H blood vessels injury and verify the molecular mechanism. Our results revealed that APP/PS1 mice exhibited more serious bone blood vessels injury and bone loss during ageing. The bone blood vessel injury, especially in type H blood vessels, was accompanied by impaired vascularized osteogenesis in APP/PS1 mice. Further exploration indicated that beta-amyloid (Aβ) promoted the apoptosis of vascular endothelial cells (ECs) and resulted in type H blood vessels injury. Mechanistically, Aβ-induced excessive mitochondrial fission was found to be essential for the apoptosis of ECs. GSK-3β was identified as a key regulatory target of Aβ-induced excessive mitochondrial fission and bone loss.

Specifically, eIF2α enhanced the expression of distinct messenger RNAs encoding mitochondrial electron transport chain proteins at the translation level. The mitochondrial respiration increased in eIF2α heterozygotes, even during aging. Deceleration of translation was demonstrated as a conserved mechanism for promoting longevity across various species.

Based on this, we tested a senolytic combination therapy using Dasatinib (D) and Quercetin (Q) on aged isolated human articular chondrocytes (hACs), as well as in OA-affected cartilage tissue (OARSI grade 1–2). Stimulation with D + Q selectively eliminated senescent cells in both, cartilage explants and isolated hAC. Furthermore, the therapy significantly promoted chondroanabolism, as demonstrated by increased gene expression levels of COL2A1, ACAN, and SOX9, as well as elevated collagen type II and glycosaminoglycan biosynthesis. Additionally, D + Q treatment significantly reduced the release of SASP factors (IL6, CXCL1). RNA sequencing analysis revealed an upregulation of the anabolic factors, inter alia, FGF18, IGF1, and TGFB2, as well as inhibitory effects on cytokines and the YAP-1 signaling pathway, explaining the underlying mechanism of the chondroanabolic promotion upon senolytic treatment. Accordingly, stimulation of untreated hAC with conditioned medium of D + Q-treated cells similarly induced the expression of chondrogenic markers. Detailed analyses demonstrated that chondroanabolic effects could be mainly attributed to Dasatinib, while monotherapeutical application of Quercetin or Navitoclax did not promote the chondroanabolism. Overall, D + Q therapy restored the chondrogenic phenotype in OA hAC most likely by creating a pro-chondroanabolic environment through the reduction of SASP factors and upregulation of growth factors. This senolytic approach could therefore be a promising candidate for further testing as a disease-modifying osteoarthritis drug.</p>","PeriodicalId":55543,"journal":{"name":"Aging Cell","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/acel.14361","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142453920","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In contrast to this labeling, biological age is also often depicted as a more abstract concept that helps explain how individuals are aging internally, externally, and functionally. Given that the bulk of molecular aging is tissue-specific and aging itself is a remarkably complex, multifarious process, it is unsurprising that most surveyed scientists agree that aging cannot be quantified via a single metric. We share this sentiment and argue that, just like it would not be reasonable to assume that an individual with an ideal grip strength, VO<sub>2</sub> max, or any other aging biomarker is biologically young, we should be careful not to conflate an aging clock with whole-body biological aging. To address this, we recommend that researchers describe the output of an aging clock based on the type of input data used or the name of the clock itself. Epigenetic aging clocks produce epigenetic age, transcriptomic aging clocks produce transcriptomic age, and so forth. If a clock has a unique name, such as our recently developed epigenetic aging clock CheekAge, the name of the clock can double as the output. As a compromise solution, aging biomarkers can be described as indicators of biological age. We feel that these recommendations will help scientists and the public differentiate between aging biomarkers and the much more elusive concept of biological age.</p>","PeriodicalId":55543,"journal":{"name":"Aging Cell","volume":"23 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11634725/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142398785","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
