“…D-Glucose (G8150) and D-mannitol (M8140) were obtained from Solarbio (Beijing, China). For the studies comparing the effects of mannitol, HUVECs were incubated with different media that were defined as NG (glucose concentration of 5.5 mM), HG (40 mM) (Arunachalam et al, 2014;Wu et al, 2021), osmotic control (40 mM: 5.5 mM of glucose +34.5 mM of D-mannitol) for 48 h.

Hyperglycemia-induced endothelial cell senescence has been widely reported to be involved in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus‒accelerated atherosclerosis. Thus, understanding the underlying mechanisms and identifying potential therapeutic targets for endothelial cell senescence are valuable for attenuating atherosclerosis progression. C1q/tumor necrosis factor-related protein 9 (CTRP9), an emerging potential cardiokine, exerts a significant protective effect with respect to atherosclerosis, particularly in endothelial cells. However, the exact mechanism by which CTRP9 prevents endothelial cells from hyperglycemia-induced senescence remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the effects of CTRP9 on hyperglycemia-induced endothelial cell senescence and atherosclerotic plaque formation in diabetic apolipoprotein E knockout (ApoE KO) mice. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were cultured in normal glucose (5.5 mM) and high glucose (40 mM) with or without recombinant human CTRP9 protein (3 μg/ml) for 48 h. Purified lentiviruses overexpressing CTRP9 (Lv-CTRP9) and control vectors containing green fluorescent protein (Lv-GFP) were injected via the tail vein into streptozotocin-induced diabetic ApoE KO mice. Results revealed that exposure of HUVECs to HG significantly increased the expression of Krüppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) and cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21 (p21) and decreased that of telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT). Treatment with recombinant human CTRP9 protein protected HUVECs from HG-induced premature senescence and dysfunction. CTRP9 promoted the phosphorylation of AMP-activated kinase (AMPK), attenuated the expression of KLF4 and p21 induced by HG, and increased the expression of TERT in HUVECs. Furthermore, in the background of AMPKα knockdown or KLF4 activation, the protective effects of CTRP9 were abolished. In-vivo experiments showed that the overexpression of CTRP9 inhibited vascular senescence and reduced atherosclerotic plaque formation in ApoE KO mice with diabetes. In conclusion, we demonstrate that KLF4 upregulation plays a crucial role in HG-induced endothelial senescence. This anti-atherosclerotic effect of CTRP9 may be partly attributed to the inhibition of HG-induced endothelial senescence through an AMPKα/KLF4-dependent mechanism, suggesting that CTRP9 could benefit further therapeutic approaches for type 2 diabetes mellitus‒accelerated atherosclerosis.

“…Conversely, AMPK-induced senescence in endothelial cells can be prevented by increasing the levels of SIRT1 . Besides AMPK signal, recent studies have demonstrated that the serine–threonine kinase Akt is important in regulating cell senescence and telomerase activity. ,,− Activation of Akt has been shown to be important in the prevention of EPC senescence by resveratrol, a SIRT1 activator . Likewise, visfatin markedly attenuates the ox-LDL-induced senescence of EPCs by upregulating SIRT1 expression and Akt signal .…”

Aging is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Previous studies have demonstrated that compound 3 (C3), a derivative of marine compound xyloallenoide A isolated from the mangrove fungus Xylaria sp. (no. 2508), exhibited strong angiogenic activities in zebrafish. In this study, we examined the effects of C3 on the senescence of endothelial progenitor cells isolated from human peripheral blood (hEPCs). The results showed that treatment with angiotensin II (AngII) for 24 h induced hEPC senescence, as demonstrated by increased SA-β-galactosidase staining. Moreover, there is a significant decrease in telomerase activity and cellular viability in AngII-treated hEPCs. These changes in aging hEPCs were greatly recovered by C3 in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, C3 significantly restored the AngII-induced decrease of sirtuin type 1 (SIRT1) expression, a well-known antiaging protein. In addition, AngII increased AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) phosphorylation and reduced Akt phosphorylation in aging hEPCs, which were also reversed by C3. Importantly, the inhibition of C3 on hEPC senescence and AMPK/Akt dysregulation was significantly attenuated by the SIRT1specific inhibitor nicotinoyl. These results indicated that C3 protects hEPC against AngII-induced senescence by increasing SIRT1 expression levels and balancing the AMPK/Akt signaling pathway. The inhibition of hEPCs senescence by C3 might protect EPCs against dysfunction induced by pathological factors in the elderly population. C3 may provide a novel drug candidate for the treatment of aging-related disorders.

“…Many studies have used cell proliferation, glucose consumption, ROS, TERT and SA- β -gal as biological markers to examine cell senescence. Abnormal cell viability is the main characteristics of senescent cells [ 29 – 32 ]. In the present study, D-gal significantly inhibited H9c2 cell proliferation and promoted apoptosis.…”

Decreased nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) levels accompany aging. CD38 is the main cellular NADase. Cyanidin-3-O-glucoside (C3G), a natural inhibitor of CD38, is a well-known drug that extends the human lifespan. We investigated mechanisms of CD38 in cell senescence and C3G in antiaging. Myocardial H9c2 cells were induced to senescence with D-gal. CD38 siRNA, C3G and UBCS039 (a chemical activator of Sirt6) inhibited D-gal-induced senescence by reducing reactive oxygen species, hexokinase 2 and SA--galactosidase levels. These activators also stimulated cell proliferation and telomerase reverse transcriptase levels, while OSS-128167 (a chemical inhibitor of Sirt6) and Sirt6 siRNA exacerbated the senescent process. H9c2 cells that underwent D-gal-induced cell senescence increased CD38 expression and decreased Sirt6 expression; CD38 siRNA and C3G decreased CD38 expression and increased Sirt6 expression, respectively; and Sirt6 siRNA stimulated cell senescence in the presence of C3G and CD38 siRNA. In D-gal-induced acute aging mice, CD38 and Sirt6 exhibited increased and decreased expression, respectively, in myocardial tissues, and C3G treatment decreased CD38 expression and increased Sirt6 expression in the tissues. C3G also reduced IL-1, IL-6, IL-17A, TNF-α levels and restored NAD+ and NK cell levels in the animals. We suggest that CD38 downregulates Sirt6 expression to promote cell senescence and C3G exerts an antiaging effect through CD38-Sirt6 signaling.
