Bazi Bushen mitigates age-related muscular atrophy by alleviating cellular senescence of skeletal muscle
Background and aim
Muscular atrophy is one of the most common age-related conditions characterized by the deterioration of skeletal muscle structures and impaired functions. It is associated with cellular senescence and chronic inflammation, which impair the function of muscle stem cells. Bazi Bushen (BZBS) is a patent compound Chinese medicine that has been shown to have anti-aging effects in various animal models. In this study, we investigated the effects and mechanisms of BZBS on muscular atrophy in naturally aged mice.
Experimental procedure
A muscular atrophy model of naturally aged mice (18 months) was employed with administration of BZBS (2 g/kg/d, 1 g/kg/d) and nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN, 200 mg/kg/d). After six months of drug administration, muscle weight loss, muscle function and muscle histopathology were measured to evaluate the therapeutic effect of BZBS. The expression of cellular senescence, inflammatory and satellite cell-related factors were used to assess the effects of BZBS in inhibiting cellular senescence, reducing inflammation and improving muscle atrophy.
Results and conclusion
Compared with age matched natural aging mice, we found that BZBS improved muscle strength, mass, and morphology by reducing senescent cells, inflammatory cytokines, and intermyofiber fibrosis in aged muscle tissues. We also found that BZBS prevented the reduction of Pax7 positive stem cells and stimulated the activation and differentiation into myocytes. Our results suggest that BZBS might be a promising intervention in senile muscular atrophy.
