Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) remain the leading cause of death worldwide, with advancing age being primary, nonmodifiable risk factor. Vascular dysfunction, namely arterial stiffening and endothelial is key antecedent to development clinical CVD aging. Fundamental aging macro-mechanistic processes that drive vascular include excess oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, declines in vasodilatory molecule nitric oxide. An important hallmark contributes cellular senescence - a stress response characterized by cell cycle arrest accompanied production secretion proinflammatory molecules (i.e., senescence-associated secretory phenotype [SASP]). Excess senescent cells SASP have deleterious effects on function states CVD, making it putative therapeutic target for improving preventing or reversing CVD. This review will focus role age-related dysfunction We examine established emerging mechanisms underlying senescence-induced dysfunction. then discuss groups impaired high burden strategies reduce remove who are likely benefit most from these therapies. Finally, we highlight systemic suppression other tissues organs, given integrative vasculature physiology. Together, this underscore imperative need deeper understanding translational use targeting therapies burden.

Abstract Metabolic dysfunction is a primary feature of Werner syndrome (WS), human premature aging disease caused by mutations in the gene encoding (WRN) DNA helicase. WS patients exhibit severe metabolic phenotypes, but underlying mechanisms are not understood, and whether deficit can be targeted for therapeutic intervention has been determined. Here we report impaired mitophagy depletion NAD + , fundamental ubiquitous molecule, patient samples invertebrate models. WRN regulates transcription key biosynthetic enzyme nicotinamide nucleotide adenylyltransferase 1 (NMNAT1). repletion restores profiles improves mitochondrial quality through DCT-1 ULK-1-dependent mitophagy. At organismal level, remarkably extends lifespan delays accelerated aging, including stem cell dysfunction, Caenorhabditis elegans Drosophila melanogaster models WS. Our findings suggest that mediated function mitophagy, bolstering cellular levels counteracts phenotypes.

Abstract N6-Methyladenosine (m6A) messenger RNA methylation is a well-known epitranscriptional regulatory mechanism affecting central biological processes, but its function in human cellular senescence remains uninvestigated. Here, we found that levels of both m6A and the methyltransferase METTL3 were reduced prematurely senescent mesenchymal stem cell (hMSC) models progeroid syndromes. Transcriptional profiling modifications further identified MIS12, for which hMSCs METTL3-deficient hMSCs. Knockout accelerated hMSC whereas overexpression rescued phenotypes. Mechanistically, loss turnover decreased expression MIS12 mRNA while knockout senescence. Furthermore, reader IGF2BP2 was as key player recognizing stabilizing m6A-modified mRNA. Taken together, discovered alleviates through modification-dependent stabilization transcript, representing novel premature

Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) and Werner (WS) are two of the best characterized human progeroid syndromes. HGPS is caused by a point mutation in lamin A (LMNA) gene, resulting production truncated protein product—progerin. WS mutations WRN encoding loss-of-function RecQ DNA helicase. Here, gene editing we created isogenic embryonic stem cells (ESCs) with heterozygous (G608G/+) or homozygous (G608G/G608G) LMNA biallelic knockout, for modeling pathogenesis, respectively. While ESCs endothelial (ECs) did not present any features premature senescence, HGPS- WS-mesenchymal (MSCs) showed aging-associated phenotypes different kinetics. WS-MSCs had early-onset mild aging while HGPS-MSCs exhibited late-onset acute characterisitcs. Taken together, our study compares contrasts distinct pathologies underpinning disorders, provides reliable stem-cell based models to identify new therapeutic strategies pathological physiological aging.

RecQ DNA helicases are a conserved protein family found in bacteria, fungus, plants, and animals. These play important roles multiple cellular functions, including replication, transcription, repair, telomere maintenance. Humans have five helicases: RECQL1, Bloom syndrome (BLM), Werner helicase (WRN), RECQL4, RECQL5. Defects BLM WRN cause autosomal disorders: (BS) (WS), respectively. Mutations RECQL4 associated with three genetic disorders, Rothmund–Thomson (RTS), Baller–Gerold (BGS), RAPADILINO syndrome. Although no disorders been reported due to loss of RECQL1 or RECQL5, dysfunction either gene is tumorigenesis. Multiple genetically independent pathways evolved that mediate the repair double-strand break (DSB), pivotal each them. The importance DSB supported by observations defective can chromosomal aberrations, genomic instability, senescence, cell death, which ultimately lead premature aging, neurodegeneration, In this review, we will introduce human family, describe detail their provide relevance between diseases.
