Study Notes
Contrasting Myocardial Aging: From Mice to Men
- Life expectancy globally is ~73.3 years.
- Death distribution data from 1900 and 2016 show a shift in longevity.
- Technological advancements in medicine are increasing healthspan.
- Competing risks arise as death risks from one disease decrease, others increase (e.g., infectious to chronic).
- Maximum human lifespan extension is unlikely in this century.
- Life expectancy is increasing, but the rate is slowing.
- Healthspan is ~64 years, a 9.2-year gap from life expectancy.
Hallmarks of Aging
- Mitochondrial dysfunction
- Pro-inflammatory signaling
- Nutrient sensing dysregulation
- Oxidative stress
- Loss of proteostasis
- Epigenetic alterations
- Genomic instability
Heart Failure in Aging
- Heart failure is a significant aging-related disease.
- Age is a major risk factor for heart failure and cardiovascular disease.
- Cardiac dysfunction involves multiple processes including fibrosis, inflammation, diastolic dysfunction, mitochondrial dysfunction, and apoptosis.
Research Models
- Fischer (CDF) rats are aged rodent models.
- A specific mouse subgroup (C57BL/6 +HFD +DOCP) is frequently used in aging, hypertension, and cardiometabolic studies.
- Mice were treated with drugs (like Sacubitril or Valsartan) to evaluate heart failure treatment efficacy across different aging stages.
- Treatment duration and treatment initiation age were adjusted to improve research outcome.
Senescence
- Replicative senescence occurs as cells divide repeatedly, shortening telomeres, inducing cell cycle arrest.
- Senescence is a permanent state of growth arrest triggered by stressors and replicative limitations.
- Cellular senescence can also be induced by various physiological states, including replicative senescence, physiological processes, and premature senescence.
- Cellular senescence is regulated by multiple pathways, including DNA repair, telomere maintenance, and others.
- Senescent cells secrete SASP factors, causing inflammation and tissue damage that can accelerate aging.
- Markers for cellular senescence include SA-ẞ-gal activity, lipofuscin accumulation, and senescence-specific gene expression signatures.
Senescent Cell Detection
- Several methods are used for detection, including SA-β-gal staining, lipofuscin detection (GL13), and analysis of proliferation markers (EdU and Ki67).
- Combining these approaches allows researchers to ensure accurate identification of senescent cells.
Senotherapy
- Senolytic therapies aim to eliminate senescent cells.
- Senomorphic therapies aim to modulate the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP).
- Senescent cell accumulation above a certain threshold can trigger a negative feedback loop accelerating aging and chronic disorders.
Metformin in Aging
- Metformin, an antidiabetic drug, can potentially ameliorate the adverse effects of aging by lowering blood sugar levels.
- It can suppress cellular senescence by affecting cellular processes, such as increasing AMPK activity, reducing oxidative stress, and enhancing autophagy.
- Metformin may extend lifespan and healthspan.
