文摘BACKGROUND Extracellular vesicles derived from mesenchymal stromal cells(MSC-EVs)can be used for anti-aging therapy and treating various aging-related diseases.However,the clinical application of MSC-EVs is still limited,mainly due to insufficient in-formation on the preparation process,quality,and mechanism of action of MSC-EVs.To study the biological effects of MSC-EVs in regulating cellular senescence.METHODS In this study,we developed a clinical-grade production process for MSC-EVs and defined the release criteria for products suitable for human use.To support the clinical use of our product as a therapeutic agent,we performed efficacy assays to evaluate the anti-aging capacity of MSC-EVs in vitro and in vivo.RESULTS The functional analysis results revealed that MSC-EVs significantly reduced the levels of senescence-associatedβ-galactosidase,matrix metallopeptidase 1,P21,and interleukin-1βand increased the level of collagen I in a naturally aged cell model of human dermal fibroblasts.Similarly,treatment with MSC-EVs effectively improved D-gal-induced subacute aging in mice,aging-related histopathological changes,oxidative stress,and aging-related gene expression.CONCLUSION These findings indicate that MSC-EVs can partially alleviate D-gal-induced senescence by reducing oxidative stress and regulating metabolism.Overall,these findings strongly suggest that MSC-EVs hold promise for aging therapy.

文摘Intercropping has been widely used in arid and semi-arid regions because of its high yield,stable productivity,and efficient utilization of resources.However,in recent years,the high yield of traditional intercropping is mainly attributed to the large amount of purchased resources such as water and fertilizer,plastic film,and mechanical power.These lead to a decline in cultivated land quality and exacerbate intercrops'premature root and canopy senescence.So,the application of traditional intercropping faces major challenges in crop production.This paper analyzes the manifestations,occurrence mechanisms,and agronomic regulatory pathways of crop senescence.The physiological and ecological characteristics of intercropping to delay root and canopy senescence of crops are reviewed in this paper.The main agronomic regulatory pathways of intercropping to delay root and canopy senescence of crops are based on above-and blow-ground interactions,including collocation of crop varieties,spatial arrangement,water and fertilizer management,and tillage and mulch practices.Future research fields of intercropping to delay root and canopy senescence should focus on the aspects of selecting and breeding special varieties,application of molecular biology techniques,and developing or applying models to predict and evaluate the root and canopy senescence process of intercrops.Comprehensive analysis and evaluation of different research results could provide a basis for enhancing intercropping delay root and canopy senescence through adopting innovative technologies for regulating the physio-ecological characteristics of intercrops.This would support developing and adopting high-yield,efficient,and sustainable intercropping systems in arid and semi-arid areas with high population density,limited land,and abundant light and heat resources.

文摘The intensified kernel position effect is a common phenomenon in maize production under higher plant density,which limits crop productivity.Subsoiling is an effective agronomic practice for improving crop productivity.To clarify the effect of subsoiling before winter wheat on the kernel position effect of densely grown summer maize and its regulatory mechanism,field experiments were conducted during the 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 growing seasons using a split-plot design.The main plots included two tillage practices:conventional tillage practice(CT)and subsoiling before the sowing of winter wheat(SS);and the subplots consisted of three plant densities(D1-D3 at 6.0×10~4,7.5×10~4,and 9.0×10~4 plants ha-1).Compared with CT,SS alleviated the kernel position effect by increasing the weight ratio of inferior to superior kernels(WR)in the D2 and D3 treated plants.The higher WR of SS treated plants contributed largely to the improved flling of inferior kernels.Under the same plant density,SS signifcantly improved the root dry matter accumulation(DMA)and antioxidant enzyme activities(superoxide dismutase(SOD)and peroxidase(POD)),and it reduced the malondialdehyde(MDA)content,especially for the plants grown under higher plant densities.These results indicated that SS delayed the root senescence,which is associated with the reduced soil bulk density.In addition,compared with CT,SS increased the leaf chlorophyll content from 20 days after silking to physiological maturity and the post-silking leaf area duration,and it reduced the post-silking leaf chlorophyll reduction rate and leaf area reduction rate,indicating that the post-silking leaf senescence had been alleviated.Under the same plant density,the post-silking DMA of SS was obviously higher than that of CT,which was probably related to the improved leaf area duration and photosynthetic enzyme activities(phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase(PEPC)and Rubisco).The correlation analysis revealed that the main mechanism of SS in alleviating the kernel position effect of densely grown summer maize is as follows:SS delays the post-silking root-shoot senescence by regulating soil physical properties,and further improves the post-silking DMA and flling of inferior kernels,which ultimately alleviates the kernel position effect and improves grain yield.The results of this study provide new theoretical support for the promotion of summer maize yield by subsoiling before winter wheat.

文摘Stem cells play a crucial role in maintaining tissue regenerative capacity and homeostasis.However,mechanisms associated with stem cell senescence require further investigation.In this study,we conducted a proteomic analysis of human dental pulp stem cells(HDPSCs)obtained from individuals of various ages.Our findings showed that the expression of NUP62 was decreased in aged HDPSCs.We discovered that NUP62 alleviated senescence-associated phenotypes and enhanced differentiation potential both in vitro and in vivo.Conversely,the knocking down of NUP62 expression aggravated the senescence-associated phenotypes and impaired the proliferation and migration capacity of HDPSCs.Through RNA-sequence and decoding the epigenomic landscapes remodeled induced by NUP62 overexpression,we found that NUP62 helps alleviate senescence in HDPSCs by enhancing the nuclear transport of the transcription factor E2F1.This,in turn,stimulates the transcription of the epigenetic enzyme NSD2.Finally,the overexpression of NUP62 influences the H3K36me2 and H3K36me3 modifications of anti-aging genes(HMGA1,HMGA2,and SIRT6).Our results demonstrated that NUP62 regulates the fate of HDPSCs via NSD2-dependent epigenetic reprogramming.
文摘To determine the effects of preharvest arginine spraying on the nutritional level of broccoli and the mechanism of action of arginine in improving the storage quality of broccoli,arginine spraying(5 mmol/L)was conducted at 0,1,3,and 5 days before harvest.The appearance,respiration rate,mass-loss rate,electrolyte leakage,glucosinolate,ascorbic acid,total phenol,total flavonoid,total sugar and sucrose contents,and sucrose phosphate synthase(SPS),invertase(INV),sucrose synthase synthesis(SSS)and cleavage(SSC)activities of broccoli samples were observed after 0,2,4,6,8,and 10 days of storage.The results showed that spraying arginine at 5 days preharvest(5-ARG)helped to inhibit broccoli respiration during storage,delay electrolyte leakage,and maintain broccoli color.Furthermore,during the growth stage,total sugar accumulation was higher in the 5-ARG group.In addition,during the storage period,sucrose synthesis was accelerated,while sucrose cleavage was inhibited,resulting in more sucrose retention in postharvest broccoli.In conclusion,5-ARG resulted in the accumulation of more nutrients during the growth process and effectively delayed the quality decline during storage,thereby prolonging the shelf life of broccoli.Therefore,this study provides a theoretical basis for improving postharvest storage characteristics of broccoli through preharvest treatments.

文摘Improving salt tolerance and mitigating senescence in the presence of high salinity are crucial for sustaining agricultural productivity.Previous research has demonstrated that hydrogen peroxide(H_(2)O_(2)),specifically H_(2)O_(2)derived from roots and mediated by the respiratory burst oxidase homolog(NADPH),plays a significant role in regulating ion and plant hormone homeostasis in glycophytic plants,such as Arabidopsis.However,the extent to which root-derived H_(2)O_(2)fulfils similar functions in halophytic plants remains uncertain.Therefore,our study aimed to explore the potential contribution of root-sourced H_(2)O_(2)in delaying leaf senescence induced by high salinity,utilizing seashore paspalum as a model halophytic plant.The application of the NADPH-oxidase inhibitor DPI,coupled with a series of leaf senescence analyses,we revealed that root-derived H_(2)O_(2)significantly retards salt-induced leaf senescence.Furthermore,through the application of hormone analysis,lipidomics,ionomics,Non-invasive Micro-test Technology(NMT),and transcriptomics,we established that NADPH-dependent H_(2)O_(2)induced by salt stress in the roots was indispensable for maintaining the balance of the aging hormone,jasmonic acid(JA),and sodium ion homeostasis within this halophytic plant.Finally,by utilizing AtrbohD Arabidopsis mutants and virus-induced gene silencing(VIGs)in Paspalum vaginatum,we demonstrated the pivotal role played by root-sourced H_(2)O_(2)in upholding JA homeostasis and regulating JA-triggered leaf senescence in P.vaginatum.This study offers novel insights into the mechanisms that govern plant leaf senescence and its response to salinity-induced stress.

文摘Aging is a pivotal risk factor for intervertebral disc degeneration(IVDD)and chronic low back pain(LBP).The restoration of aging nucleus pulposus cells(NPCs)to a youthful epigenetic state is crucial for IVDD treatment,but remains a formidable challenge.Here,we proposed a strategy to partially reprogram and reinstate youthful epigenetics of senescent NPCs by delivering a plasmid carrier that expressed pluripotency-associated genes(Oct4,Klf4 and Sox2)in Cavin2-modified exosomes(OKS@M-Exo)for treatment of IVDD and alleviating LBP.The functional OKS@M-Exo efficaciously alleviated senescence markers(p16^(INK4a),p21^(CIP1)and p53),reduced DNA damage and H4K20me3 expression,as well as restored proliferation ability and metabolic balance in senescent NPCs,as validated through in vitro experiments.In a rat model of IVDD,OKS@M-Exo maintained intervertebral disc height,nucleus pulposus hydration and tissue structure,effectively ameliorated IVDD via decreasing the senescence markers.Additionally,OKS@MExo reduced nociceptive behavior and downregulated nociception markers,indicating its efficiency in alleviating LBP.The transcriptome sequencing analysis also demonstrated that OKS@M-Exo could decrease the expression of age-related pathways and restore cell proliferation.Collectively,reprogramming by the OKS@M-Exo to restore youthful epigenetics of senescent NPCs may hold promise as a therapeutic platform to treat IVDD.
文摘Objective The nucleolar protein PES1(Pescadillo homolog 1)plays critical roles in ribosome biogenesis and cell cycle regulation,yet its involvement in cellular senescence remains poorly understood.This study aimed to comprehensively investigate the functional consequences of PES1 suppression in cellular senescence and elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying its regulatory role.Methods Initially,we assessed PES1 expression patterns in two distinct senescence models:replicative senescent mouse embryonic fibroblasts(MEFs)and doxorubicin-induced senescent human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells.Subsequently,PES1 expression was specifically downregulated using siRNA-mediated knockdown in these cell lines as well as additional relevant cell types.Cellular proliferation and senescence were assessed by EdU incorporation and SA-β-gal staining assays,respectively.The expression of senescence-associated proteins(p53,p21,and Rb)and SASP factors(IL-6,IL-1β,and IL-8)were analyzed by Western blot or qPCR.Furthermore,Northern blot and immunofluorescence were employed to evaluate pre-rRNA processing and nucleolar morphology.Results PES1 expression was significantly downregulated in senescent MEFs and HepG2 cells.PES1 knockdown resulted in decreased EdU-positive cells and increased SA-β-gal-positive cells,indicating proliferation inhibition and senescence induction.Mechanistically,PES1 suppression activated the p53-p21 pathway without affecting Rb expression,while upregulating IL-6,IL-1β,and IL-8 production.Notably,PES1 depletion impaired pre-rRNA maturation and induced nucleolar stress,as evidenced by aberrant nucleolar morphology.Conclusion Our findings demonstrate that PES1 deficiency triggers nucleolar stress and promotes p53-dependent(but Rb-independent)cellular senescence,highlighting its crucial role in maintaining nucleolar homeostasis and regulating senescence-associated pathways.

文摘Intervertebral disc degeneration(IDD)is a progressive and dynamic process in which the senescence-associated secretory phenotype(SASP)of nucleus pulposus cells(NPC)plays a significant role.While impaired chaperone-mediated autophagy(CMA)has been associated with inflammation and cellular senescence,its specific involvement in the self-perpetuating feedback loop of NPC senescence remains poorly understood.Through LAMP2A knockout in NPC,we identified a significant upregulation of DYRK1A,a core mediator of premature senescence in Down syndrome.Subsequent validation established DYRK1A as the critical driver of premature senescence in CMA-deficient NPC.Combinatorial transcription factor analysis revealed that under IL1B stimulation or CMA inhibition,elevated DYRK1A promoted FOXC1 phosphorylation and nuclear translocation,initiating transcriptional activation of cell cycle arrest.Intriguingly,CMA impairment concurrently enhanced glutamine metabolic flux in senescent NPC,thereby augmenting their survival fitness.Transcriptomic profiling demonstrated that CMA reactivation in senescent NPC facilitated fate transition from senescence to apoptosis,mediated by decreased glutamine flux via GLUL degradation.Therefore,CMA exerts protective effects against IDD by maintaining equilibrium between premature senescence and senolysis.This study elucidates CMA’s regulatory role in SASP-mediated senescence amplification circuits,providing novel therapeutic insights for IDD and other age-related pathologies.

文摘Diabetic kidney disease(DKD)has emerged as one of the leading causes of chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease worldwide.In the progression of DKD,renal tubular injury plays a pivotal role,with stress-induced senescence of renal tubular epithelial cells(RTECs)being a critical cellular event contributing to tubular damage in DKD.Recent studies have revealed that multiple mechanisms,including oxidative stress,mitochondrial autophagy,endoplasmic reticulum stress,and epigenetic modifications,can induce stress-induced senescence in RTECs,thereby driving the progression of DKD.In recent years,research has demonstrated that traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)can regulate these mechanisms through multiple targets and key pathways,inhibiting stress-induced senescence in RTECs and ameliorating the progression of DKD.TCM has been widely applied in clinical practice with proven efficacy.This article systematically summarizes the concept of cellular senescence,delves into the relationship between stress-induced senescence of RTECs and DKD,analyzes the mechanisms underlying the formation of stress-induced senescence in RTECs within the context of DKD,and reviews the research progress of TCM in anti-senescence treatment for DKD.The aim is to provide a reference for future research and the development of novel therapeutic strategies.
