Project description:Older age is one of the strongest risk factors for COVID-19 morbidity and mortality. Here, we sought to determine whether age-associated cellular senescence contributes to the severity of COVID-19 by studying the well-established golden hamster model of SARS-CoV-2-driven lung disease. We found that aged hamsters (22 months of age) accumulate senescent cells in the lungs and that the senolytic drug ABT-263, a B cell lymphoma-2 family inhibitor, depletes these cells at baseline and during a SARS-CoV-2 infection. Relative to young hamsters (2 months of age), aged hamsters had a greater viral load during the acute phase of infection and displayed higher levels of sequelae during the post-acute phase. Interestingly, early treatment with ABT-263 was associated with a significantly lower pulmonary viral load, an effect associated with lower expression of angiotensin converting enzyme 2, the receptor for SARS-CoV-2, and an amelioration of COVID-19-like lung disease in aged (but not young) animals. ABT-263 treatment of aged animals was also associated with lower pulmonary and systemic levels of senescence-associated secretory phenotype factors. Furthermore, early removal of senescent cells reduced the longer-term pulmonary inflammation. These data demonstrate the causative role of age-associated pre-existing senescent cells on the pathologic severity of experimental COVID-19. As several senolytics have recently moved into early-stage clinical trials, our present findings have clear clinical relevance.

Project description:Senescent cells accumulate in aging tissues, impairing their ability to undergo repair and regeneration following injury. Previous research has demonstrated that targeting tissue senescence with senolytics can enhance tissue regeneration and repair by selectively eliminating senescent cells in specific aged tissues. In this study, we focused on eliminating senescent skin cells in aged mice to assess the effects on subsequent wound healing. We applied ABT-263 (Navitoclax) and a DMSO control directly to the skin of 24-month-old mice over a 5-day period. Following ABT-263 treatment, aged skin showed decreased gene expression of senescent markers p16 and p21, accompanied by reductions in SA-β-gal and p21-positive cells compared to the DMSO-treated skin. However, ABT-263 treatment also triggered a temporary inflammatory response and macrophage infiltration in the skin. Bulk RNA sequencing of ABT-263-treated skin revealed prompt upregulation of genes associated with wound healing pathways, including hemostasis, inflammation, cell proliferation, angiogenesis, collagen synthesis, and extracellular matrix organization. Aged mice treated with ABT-263 exhibited accelerated wound closure compared to the DMSO control group. In conclusion, topical ABT-263 effectively reduced several senescence markers in aged skin, thereby priming the skin for improved subsequent wound healing. This enhancement may be attributed to ABT-263-induced senolysis and the resulting inflammation, which in turn stimulated the expression of genes involved in extracellular matrix remodeling and wound repair pathways.

Project description:To explore the role played by senescent cells in mice models of pulmonary hypertension we exposed young C57BL6/j mice to 2 days hypoxia or normoxia and treated with senolytic drug ABT-263 (50mg/kg/day) or its vehicule. We then performed lung gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of 4 groups of mice (Normoxia+Vehicule; Normoxia+ABT-263; Hypoxia+Vehicule; Hypoxia+ABT-263)

Project description:Angiosarcoma is an aggressive soft-tissue sarcoma with a poor prognosis. Chemotherapy for this cancer typically employs paclitaxel, one of the taxanes (genotoxic drugs), although it has a limited effect due to chemoresistance for prolonged treatment. Here we examine a new angiosarcoma treatment approach that combines chemotherapeutic and senolytic agents. We first find that the chemotherapeutic drugs, cisplatin and paclitaxel, efficiently induce cellular senescence of angiosarcoma cells. Subsequent treatment with a senolytic agent, ABT-263, eliminates senescent cells through the activation of the apoptotic pathway. In addition, expression analysis indicates that senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) genes are activated in senescent angiosarcoma cells and that ABT-263 treatment eliminates senescent cells expressing genes in the type-I interferon (IFN-I) pathway. Moreover, we show that cisplatin treatment alone requires a high dose to remove angiosarcoma cells, whereas a lower dose of cisplatin is sufficient to induce senescence, followed by the elimination of senescent cells by senolytic treatment. This study sheds light on a potential therapeutic strategy against angiosarcoma by combining a relatively low dose of cisplatin with the ABT-263 senolytic agent, which can help ease the deleterious side effects of chemotherapy.

Project description:We test the idea that peripheral cellular senescence is a major driver of age-related cognitive impairment, such that treatment with the brain impermeable senolytic, ABT-263, can preserve cognition and markers of brain aging thought to underlie cognitive decline. Male F344 rats were treated from 12-18 months of age with quercetin + dasatinib or ABT-263 or vehicle and were compared to young (6 month). Senolytic treatments had similar effects in decreasing peripheral markers of senescence and the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), including plasma levels of several cytokines, rescued memory and hippocampal synaptic transmission, and decreased expression of immune response genes in the dentate gyrus (DG). Across senolytic treatment groups, differential DG gene expression was observed for cellular senescence and pathways linked to senescence, including negative regulation of cell death, ribosomes, and microglial activation consistent with differential access of dasatinib and ABT-263 to the brain. Finally, both senolytic treatments preserved the blood-brain barrier suggesting that leakage of clinically significant amounts of ABT-263 into the brain is unlikely. The results indicate that preserved cognition was due to removal of peripheral senescent cells, decreasing systemic inflammation that normally drives neuroinflammation, BBB breakdown, and impaired synaptic function.

Project description:RNA expression analysis was performed to compare patterns to sensitivity to BCL2 inhibitors (ABT-263). Overexpression of the prosurvival Bcl-2 family members (Bcl-2, Bcl-xL and Mcl-1) is commonly associated with tumor maintenance, progression and chemoresistance. We previously reported the discovery of ABT-737, a potent, small molecule Bcl-2 family protein inhibitor. A major limitation of ABT-737 is that it is not orally bioavailable. This may limit its use for chronic single agent treatment and the flexibility to dose in combination with parenteral chemotherapy. Here we report the discovery and biological properties of ABT-263, a potent, orally bioavailable Bad-like BH3 mimetic (Kiâ??s of < 1 nM for Bcl-2, Bcl-xL and Bcl-w). The oral bioavailability of ABT-263 in preclinical animal models is 20% - 50%, depending on formulation. ABT-263 disrupts Bcl-2/Bcl-xL interactions with pro-death proteins (e.g., Bim) in cells leading to the initiation of apoptosis within 2 hr post-treatment. In human tumor cells, ABT-263 rapidly induces Bax translocation, cytochrome c release and subsequent programmed cell death. Oral administration of ABT-263 alone induces complete tumor regressions in xenograft models of small cell lung cancer and acute lymphoblastic leukemia. In xenograft models of aggressive B-cell lymphoma and multiple myeloma where ABT-263 exhibits modest or no single agent activity, it significantly enhances the efficacy of clinically relevant therapeutic regimens. These data provide the rationale for clinical trials evaluating ABT-263 in SCLC and B-cell malignancies. The oral efficacy of ABT-263 should provide dosing flexibility to maximize clinical utility as both a single agent and in combination with standard chemotherapeutic regimens. Experiment Overall Design: Naive cell lines were isolated in duplicate or triplicate (only a single for H69AR) to determine RNA expression pattern.
