Developing novel flavonoid senolytics through phenotypic drug screening and drug design

ABSTRACT: The discovery of effective senolytics offers a promising approach for treating many age-related diseases. In this study, we employed a phenotypic drug discovery approach, combining drug screening and drug design, to identify and develop novel senolytic agents based on the flavonoid fisetin. We successfully developed two novel flavonoid analogs, SR29384 and SR31133, which demonstrated significantly enhanced senolytic activities compared to fisetin. These analogs showed broad-spectrum efficacy in eliminating various senescent cell types, reducing tissue senescence, extending healthspan in mice, and prolonging lifespan in Drosophila. Through RNA sequencing, machine learning, and computational screening, our mechanistic studies suggest that these novel flavonoid senolytics may target PARP1, BCL2L1, and CDK2 to induce senescent cell death.

Identification of lipid senolytics targeting senescent cells through ferroptosis induction

Project description:Through phenotypic drug screening, we identified a novel class of lipid senolytics that selectively eliminated a broad range of senescent cells, reduced tissue senescence, and extended healthspan in mice. Extensive mechanistic studies reveal that these lipids induce ferroptotic cell death by exploiting the iron-rich and ROS-prone characteristics of senescent cells, offering a new therapeutic strategy to target senescence in aging and age-related diseases.

CAR T cells targeting uPAR are effective senolytics

Project description:Cellular senescence is a stress-response program characterized by stable cell cycle arrest and a secretory program that modulates the tissue microenvironment. Physiologically, senescence serves as a potent tumor suppressive mechanism that prevents the expansion of premalignant cells and plays a beneficial role in certain wound healing responses. Pathologically, the aberrant accumulation of senescent cells in response to chronic tissue damage produces an inflammatory milieu that contributes to diseases such as liver and lung fibrosis, atherosclerosis, diabetes and osteoarthritis. Accordingly, experimental approaches to eliminate senescent cells from damaged tissues in mice can ameliorate symptoms of these pathologies and even promote longevity. Here we test the therapeutic concept that chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells targeting senescent cells can serve as effective senolytics. We identify the urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) as a cell surface protein that is broadly induced during senescence and demonstrate that uPAR-specific CAR T cells efficiently target senescent cells in vitro and in vivo. Administration of uPAR-targeting CAR T cells improves the survival of mice harboring lung adenocarcinoma cells treated with a senescence inducing drug combination, and eliminates fibrosis in mice treated with carbon tetrachloride or on a non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)-inducing diet. These results establish the potential of senolytic CAR T therapy for a range of senescence-associated diseases.

Clearance of defective muscle stem cells by senolytics reduces the expression of senescence-associated secretory phenotype and restores myogenesis in myotonic dystrophy type 1

Project description:Muscle weakness and atrophy are clinical hallmarks of myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1). Muscle stem cells, which contribute to skeletal muscle growth and repair, are also affected in this disease. However, the molecular mechanisms leading to this defective activity and the impact on the disease severity are still elusive. Here, we explored through an unbiased approach the molecular signature leading to myogenic cell defects in DM1. Single cell RNAseq data revealed the presence of a specific subset of DM1 myogenic cells expressing a senescence signature, characterized by the high expression of genes related to senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). This profile was confirmed using different senescence markers in vitro and in situ. Accumulation of intranuclear RNA foci in senescent cells, suggest that RNA-mediated toxicity contribute to senescence induction. High expression of IL-6, a prominent SASP cytokine, in the serum of DM1 patients was identified as a biomarker correlating with muscle weakness and functional capacity limitations. Drug screening revealed that the BCL-XL inhibitor (A1155463), a senolytic drug, can specifically target senescent DM1 myoblasts to induce their apoptosis and reduce their SASP. Removal of senescent cells re-established the myogenic function of the non-senescent DM1 myoblasts, which displayed improved proliferation and differentiation capacity in vitro; and enhanced engraftment following transplantation in vivo. Altogether this study presents a well-defined senescent molecular signature in DM1 untangling part of the pathological mechanisms observed in the disease; additionally, we demonstrate the therapeutic potential of targeting these defective cells with senolytics to restore myogenesis.

Umbrella Cells, Bladder Uroepithelial Cells that Exhibit Senescence Features Throughout the Mouse Lifespan, Are Not Depleted by Senolytics

Project description:Lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD) increases with aging. Ensuing symptoms including incontinence greatly impact quality of life, isolation, depression, and nursing home admission. The aging bladder is hypothesized to be central to this decline, however, it remains difficult to pinpoint a singular strong driver of aging-related bladder dysfunction. Many molecular and cellular changes occur with aging, contributing to decreased resilience to internal and external stressors, affecting urinary control and exacerbating LUTD. In this study, we examined whether cellular senescence, a cell fate involved in the etiology of most aging diseases, contributes to LUTD. We found that umbrella cells (UCs), luminal barrier uroepithelial cells in the bladder, show senescence features over the mouse lifespan, identifying a novel non-aging related senescent cell population. While these senescent UCs may help maintain the blood-urine barrier, a novel example of beneficial senescence, they could also contribute to the generation of urothelial cancers and LUTD (antagonistic pleiotropy). These senescent UCs were not eliminated by the senolytic combination of Dasatinib and Quercetin, thus ensuring an intact blood-brain barrier when these agents are used in humans. We also tested the effect of a high fat diet and senescent cell transplantation on bladder function and showed that both models cause similar cystometric changes as natural aging in mice, with no effect of senolytics on HFD-induced changes. These findings illustrate the heterogeneity of cellular senescence in varied tissues, highlighting the importance of considering the safety of barrier cells in the bladder and possibly elsewhere during development and testing of future senolytics.

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

Project description: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.

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.

Senescent cell elimination modifies features of Alzheimer’s disease in 3xTg-AD mice

Project description:Cellular senescence has been associated with neurodegenerative disease and clearance of senescent cells using genetic or pharmaceutical strategies (senolytics) has demonstrated beneficial effects in mouse models investigating individual disease etiologies of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, it has remained unclear if senescent cell clearance in a mouse model exhibiting both plaque and tau pathologies modifies the disease state (3xTg). Here, we show that treatment with senolytics (ABT263 (navitoclax) or a combination of dasatinib and quercetin (D+Q)) or transgenic removal of p16-expressing cells (via INK-ATTAC) reduced microgliosis and ameliorated both amyloid and tau pathology in 3xTg mice. Using RNA sequencing, we found evidence that synaptic dysfunction and neuroinflammation was attenuated with senescent cell removal. Unfortunately, these beneficial effects were not seen with short-term senolytic treatment in mice with more advanced disease. Overall, our results further corroborate the beneficial effects senescent cell clearance could have on AD and highlight the importance of early intervention for treatment of this debilitating disease.

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.
