Single-cell profiling of skeletal muscle reveals a novel senolytic target; CRYAB

ABSTRACT: Skeletal muscle mass and function decline with aging, a process known as sarcopenia, and is linked to functional alterations of critical cell types within mature muscle, including fibro-adipogenic progenitors (FAPs) and satellite cells (SCs). Senescence is a form of cellular arrest linked with degenerative diseases of aging, and is thought to be a key driver of aging pathophysiology. We utilized single-cell RNA sequencing to identify novel targets in isolated FAPs and SCs which potentiate senescent cell killing - a process termed senolysis. Using molecular and cellular approaches, we identified the small alpha crystalline heat shock protein CRYAB as a novel senolytic target. We targeted CRYAB using chemical inhibitor screening to identify 25-hydroxycholesterol (25HC), an endogenous metabolite of cholesterol biosynthesis as a potent senolytic capable of killing senescent cells. We validated the potential of 25HC as a senolytic in both mouse and human cells, and in vivo in several tissues including muscle and fat. 25HC treatment therefore represents a potential new class of senolytics, which may be useful in combating diseases or physiologies in which cellular senescence is a key driver.

Gene expression data from lung tissues of C57BL/6J mice

Project description:Homoharringtonine could be a novel therapeutic agent for the treatment and the prevention of aging and age-related diseases (ARDs). Cellular senescence contributes to aging and ARDs. Removal and modulation of senescent cells (SCs) improve physical functions and extend healthspan in animal models. Thus, the development of therapeutics that target SCs (i.e., senotherapeutics) has been proposed as a promising strategy for the treatment and the prevention of aging itself and ARDs. We used drug repositioning to discover new senotherapeutics from 2,150 clinically applied compounds and found that homoharringtonine (HHT) has a senolytic activity in human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) in vitro and in vivo models. HHT improved physical status and rescued aging phenotypes in progeroid mice and aged mice. In addition, HHT administration ameliorates bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis in mice.

Muscle injury induces a transient senescence-like state that is required for myofiber growth during muscle regeneration

Project description:Cellular senescence is the irreversible arrest of normally dividing cells and is driven by the cell cycle inhibitors Cdkn2a, Cdkn1a, and Trp53. Senescent cells are implicated in chronic diseases and tissue repair through their increased secretion of proinflammatory factors known as the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Here, we use spatial transcriptomics and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) to demonstrate that cells displaying senescent characteristics are “transiently" present within regenerating skeletal muscle and within the muscles of D2-mdx mice, a model of Muscular Dystrophy. Following injury, multiple cell types including macrophages and fibro-adipogenic progenitors (FAPs) upregulate senescent features such as senescence pathway genes, SASP factors, and senescence-associated beta-gal (SA-β-gal) activity. Importantly, when these cells were removed with ABT-263, a senolytic compound, satellite cells are reduced, and muscle fibers were impaired in growth and myonuclear accretion.

Nintedanib induces senolytic effect via STAT3 inhibition

Project description:Selective removal of senescent cells, or the concept of senolytic therapy, has been proposed to be a potent strategy for overcoming age-related diseases and even reversing aging. We found that nintedanib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, selectively induced cell death in primary human diploid fibroblasts undergoing replicative senescence. Similar to ABT263, a well-known senolytic agent, nintedanib triggered intrinsic apoptosis in senescent cells. Additionally, at the concentration producing the senolytic effect, nintedanib arrested the cell cycle of nonsenescent cells in the G1 phase without cytotoxicity. Interestingly, compared with ABT263, nintedanib showed a different mode of activating caspase-9 in the intrinsic apoptotic pathway, in that nintedanib did not suppress the levels of Bcl-2 family proteins in senescent cells. In more detail, nintedanib suppressed the activation of the JAK2/STAT3 pathway, which caused drug-induced cell death in senescent cells. STAT3 knockdown in senescent cells also induced caspase activation. Moreover, nintedanib reduced the number of senescent cells stained based on senescence-associated β-galactosidase activity and airway resistance in a mouse model of bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis. Overall, we identified that nintedanib could be used as a new senolytic agent and that inhibiting STAT3 could be a potential approach for inducing selective cell death in senescent cells. Our findings will pave the way for expanding senolytic toolkits in response to various aging statuses and age-related diseases.

Senolytics rescue blunted muscle hypertrophy in old mice

Project description:With aging, skeletal muscle plasticity is attenuated in response to exercise. Here, we report that senescent cells, identified using senescence markers senescence-associated β-Galactosidase (SA β-Gal) and p21 are very infrequent in resting muscle but emerge approximately two-weeks after a bout of resistance exercise in humans. We hypothesized that these cells contribute to blunted hypertrophic potential in old age. Using synergist ablation-induced mechanical overload of the plantaris muscle to model resistance training in adult (5-6 month) and old (23-24 month) male C57BL/6J mice, we found increased senescent cells in both age groups during hypertrophy. Consistent with the human data, there were negligible senescent cells in adult and old sham controls, but old mice had significantly more senescent cells 7- and 14-days following overload relative to young. Old mice had blunted whole muscle hypertrophy when compared to adult mice, along with smaller muscle fibers, specifically glycolytic Type 2x+2b fibers. To ablate senescent cells using a hit-and-run approach, old mice were treated with vehicle or a senolytic cocktail consisting of 5 mg/kg dasatinib and 50 mg/kg quercetin (D+Q) on day 7 and 10 during 14-days of overload; control mice underwent sham surgery with or without senolytic treatment. Old mice given D+Q had larger muscles and muscle fibers after 14 days of overload, fewer senescent cells when compared to vehicle-treated old mice, and changes in the expression of genes (i.e., Igf1, Ddit4, Mmp14) that are associated with hypertrophic growth . Our data collectively show that senescent cells emerge in human and mouse skeletal muscle following a hypertrophic stimulus, and that D+Q improves muscle growth in old mice.

Epigenetic determinants of muscle stem cell quiescence and chronological aging (ChIP-seq)

Project description:Skeletal muscle is a post-mitotic tissue that exhibits an extremely low turnover in the absence of disease or injury. At the same time, muscle possesses remarkable regenerative capacity mediated by satellite cells (SCs) that reside in close association with individual myofibers, underneath the fiberM-bM-^@M-^Ys basal lamina. Consistent with the low turnover of the muscle, SCs in adult animals are mitotically quiescent and therefore provide an excellent model to study stem cell quiescence. As an organism grows older, the resident stem cells are exposed to a deteriorating environment and experience chronological aging. In stem cells with high turnover, the effects of chronological aging are superimposed upon the effects of the replicative aging that results from DNA replication and cell division. On the contrary, SCs experience minimal replicative aging due to their low turnover. They are thus a good model to study the consequence of chronological aging of quiescent stem cells. We have developed an isolation protocol to selectively enrich SCs by FACS from adult mice and applied the ChIP-seq technology to obtain H3K4me3, H3K27me3 and H3K36me3 from quiescent and activated SCs from young mice and from quiescent SCs from old mice. Our analysis aims to understand the chromatin features underlying stem cell properties such as quiecence and lineage-potency, and to understand how the chromatin structure of a quiescent stem cell pouplation changes with age. VCAM+/CD31-/CD45-/Sca1- quiescent satellite cells (QSCs) were isolated by FACS from hindlimb muscle of uninjured 2-3- or 22-24-month old mice and processed for ChIP-seq.

Prophilactic and long-lasting efficacy of senolytic CAR T cells against age-related metabolic dysfunction.

Project description:Senescent cells accumulate in organisms over time as a result of tissue damage and impaired immune surveillance and are thought to contribute to age-related tissue decline1,2. In agreement, genetic ablation studies reveal that elimination of senescent cells from aged tissues can ameliorate various age-related pathologies, including metabolic dysfunction and decreased physical fitness3-7. While small-molecule drugs capable of eliminating senescent cells (known as ‘senolytics’) partially replicate these phenotypes, many have uncertain mechanisms of action and all require continuous administration to be effective. As an alternative approach, we previously developed a cell-based senolytic therapy based on chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells targeting uPAR, a cell-surface protein upregulated on senescent cells, and showed these can safely and efficiently eliminate senescent cells in young animals and reverse liver fibrosis8. We now show that uPAR-positive senescent cells accumulate during physiological aging and that they can be safely targeted with senolytic CAR T cells in aged animals. Treatment with anti uPAR CAR T cells ameliorates metabolic dysfunction by improving glucose tolerance and exercise capacity in physiological aging as well as in a model of metabolic syndrome. Importantly, the beneficial effects of senolytic CAR T cells are long lasting; single administration of a low dose is sufficient to achieve long-term therapeutic and preventive effects.

Deep proteome of aging skeletal muscles reveals Smoc2 as a modulator of satellite cell regenerative capacity

Project description:During aging, the number and functionality of muscle stem cells (MuSCs) decreases leading to impaired regeneration of aged skeletal muscle. In addition to intrinsic changes in aged MuSCs, extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins deriving from other cell types, e.g., fibrogenic-adipogenic progenitor cells (FAPs), contribute to the aging phenotype of MuSCs and impaired regeneration in the elderly. So far, no comprehensive analysis on how age-dependent changes in the whole skeletal muscle proteome affect MuSC function have been conducted. Here, we investigated age-dependent changes in the proteome of different skeletal muscle types by applying deep quantitative mass spectrometry. We identified 183 extracellular matrix proteins that show different abundances in skeletal muscles of old mice. By integrating single cell sequencing data, we reveal that transcripts of those ECM proteins are mainly expressed in FAPs, suggesting that FAPs are the main contributors to ECM remodelling during aging. We functionally investigated one of those ECM molecules, namely Smoc2, which is aberrantly expressed during aging. We show that Smoc2 levels are elevated during regeneration and that its accumulation in the aged MuSC niche causes impairment of MuSCs function through constant activation of integrin/MAPK signaling. In vivo, supplementation of exogenous Smoc2 hampers the regeneration of young muscles following serial injuries, leading to a phenotype reminiscent of regenerating aged skeletal muscle. Taken together, we provide a comprehensive resource of changes in the composition of the ECM of aged skeletal muscles, we pinpoint the cell types driving these changes, and we identify a new niche protein causing functional impairment of MuSCs thereby hampering the regeneration capacity of skeletal muscles.
