Visceral Adipose Tissue Drives Cardiac Aging Through Modulation of Fibroblast Senescence by Osteopontin Production

Abstract: During aging, VAT represents the main source of OPN and alters heart structure and function via its profibrotic secretome. As a proof-of-concept, interventions targeting OPN, such as VAT removal and OPN deficiency, rescued the heart and induced a selective modulation of fibroblast senescence. Our work uncovers OPN's role in the context of myocardial aging and proposes OPN as a potential new therapeutic target for a healthy cardiac aging.

“…Transthoracic echocardiography. Transthoracic echocardiography was performed in conscious mice as previously described (43,44). Briefly, in hand-gripped mouse parasternal images were acquired at the level of papillary muscles using a 13-MHz linear-array transducer with a Vivid 7 ultrasound system (GE Medical System).…”

“…Left ventricular dimensions were serially obtained in M-mode, and derived parameters were calculated using standard formulas. Left ventricular mass was determined using the uncorrected cube assumption (43,44). Peak systolic values of strain rate in the anterior and posterior wall were obtained using Tissue Doppler Imaging.…”

“…Such systemic effects are currently being studied in the European BETA3-LVH trial testing the re-purposing of mirabegron in patients with structural cardiac remodelling with or at risk of developing heart failure with preserved ejection fraction 35 . Further, β3-AR modulation of visceral adipose tissue may have remote effects on cardiac aging by regulating fibroblast senescence 36 , although this has not been directly demonstrated so far.…”

“…Moreover, OPN knockdown has been shown to reduce senile cardiac fibrosis by inducing senescence of myofibroblasts (Sawaki et al, 2018). Therefore, a large amount of research is required to explore the effect of induced cell senescence on fibrosis in elderly or chronic diseases.…”
