Mitochondria are potential drivers of aging phenotypes and dysfunctional mitochondria are associated with several age-related diseases. There is evidence that senescence induces changes in mitochondrial structure, dynamics, and function. Moreover, senescent vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are present in atherosclerotic plaques and contribute to their instability. The anti-atherosclerotic effects of simvastatin are well known, but recently other benefits, such as promoting mitochondrial quality and senostatic effects, have been hypothesized.

Next, we investigated whether simvastatin could ameliorate age‐associated phenotypes in senescent VSMCs. Simvastatin 0.1 μM reduces the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) and ROS production and improves mitochondrial respiration in doxorubicin and old VSMCs. Interestingly, the effects of simvastatin on mitochondrial respiration and SASP were replicated by using a siRNA for the hydroxy-methyl-glutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase, and abolished by adding mevalonic acid, suggesting that these effects are mediated through the inhibition of HMG-CoA reductase.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><div>Our results suggest that simvastatin controls SASP and exerts potentially beneficial therapeutic effects by ameliorating senescence-induced mitochondrial dysfunction in senescent VSMCs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8623,"journal":{"name":"Atherosclerosis","volume":"403 ","pages":"Article 119176"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143715161","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After multivariable adjustment, PCATa was identified as an independent predictor (HR: 1.060, 95%CI: 1.025–1.096, <em>p</em> = 0.001). The inclusion of PCATa significantly enhanced the discrimination capacity [AUC:0.72 (0.66–0.78), <em>p</em> = 0.041] and risk reclassification (NRI = 1.99, <em>p</em> &lt; 0.001; IDI = 0.93, <em>p</em> &lt; 0.001) beyond the influence of clinical and CCTA factors. In the presence of HRP, a higher PCATa was found to be associated with a relatively higher risk of MACE compared to a lower PCATa (HR: 2.45, 95%CI: 1.09–5.52, <em>p</em> = 0.031).</div></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><div>PCATa is positively correlated with adverse outcome in patients with nonobstructive CAD, and it offers incremental predictive value beyond clinical variables and CCTA characteristics.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8623,"journal":{"name":"Atherosclerosis","volume":"402 ","pages":"Article 119075"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142794302","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
