Fisetin as a nutritional senotherapeutic: mechanisms, translational promise, and lessons from chronic kidney disease.

Fisetin is a dietary flavonol that has attracted growing interest as a potential modulator of aging biology. In addition to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, experimental studies suggest that fisetin may influence cellular senescence through senomorphic and, in some contexts, senolytic actions. This has made it an attractive candidate within the wider field of food derived functional ingredients that target age related disease. Chronic kidney disease provides a useful case study for this emerging area because it is characterized by accelerated biological aging, chronic inflamma…

Recent Advances in the Study of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Reversing Hepatic Fibrosis Through the Regulation of Hepatic Stellate Cells Apoptosis Pathways.

Hepatic fibrosis is a pathological manifestation in which hepatic stellate cells are activated by inflammatory stimuli and produce excessive extracellular matrix, leading to excessive intrahepatic collagen deposition. As the core effector cells of hepatic fibrosis, hepatic stellate cells have multiple cellular states, including quiescent, activated, and quiescence-like dysfunctional states. In hepatic fibrosis, they can exert functions such as pro-inflammatory effects, strong proliferation, maintenance of permanent activation state, and resistance to cell death by activating multiple relevant

Alzheimer's disease and gut-brain axis: Drosophila melanogaster as a model.

Research indicates that by 2050, more than 150 million people will be living with Alzheimer's disease (AD), a condition associated with neurodegeneration due to the accumulation of amyloid-beta and tau proteins. In addition to genetic background, endocrine disruption, and cellular senescence, management of the gut microbiota has emerged as a key element in the diagnosis, progression, and treatment of AD, as certain bacterial metabolites can travel through the bloodstream and cross the blood-brain barrier. This mini-review explores the relationship between tau protein accumulation and gut dysbi…

Hydrogen sulfide preserves the function of senescent endothelium through SIRT2 mediated inflammatory inhibition.

Endothelial aging is an independent risk factor of cardiovascular diseases, and this study aims to explore the mechanism of endothelial aging. We first applied two animal aging models and two cellular aging models to observe the characteristics of senescent endothelium at the morphological, functional, and molecular levels. It was confirmed that the aging of endothelial cells was accompanied by activation of Nod like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome pathway, reduced levels of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and sirtuin2 (SIRT2) activity. Endothelial specific knockout of cystathionine-γ-lyase (CS

Furthermore, H. pylori induces cellular senescence and promotes atrophy progression and finally increases the gastric cancer risk. This review aims to explore the carcinogenic mechanisms of H. pylori related CAG in order to provide theoretical foundations for the pathogenesis mechanism and early det …

Eternal Youth: A Comprehensive Exploration of Gene, Cellular, and Pharmacological Anti-Aging Strategies.

The improvement of human living conditions has led to an increase in average life expectancy, creating a new social and medical problem-aging, which diminishes the overall quality of human life. The aging process of the body begins with the activation of effector signaling pathways of aging in cells, resulting in the loss of their normal functions and deleterious effects on the microenvironment. This, in turn, leads to chronic inflammation and similar transformations in neighboring cells. The cumulative retention of these senescent cells over a prolonged period results in the deterioration of

Disruption of mitochondrial unfolded protein response results in telomere shortening in mouse oocytes and somatic cells.

Caseinolytic peptidase P (CLPP) plays a central role in mitochondrial unfolded protein response (mtUPR) by promoting the breakdown of misfolded proteins and setting in motion a cascade of reactions to re-establish protein homeostasis. Global germline deletion of Clpp in mice results in female infertility and accelerated follicular depletion. Telomeres are tandem repeats of 5'-TTAGGG-3' sequences found at the ends of the chromosomes. Telomeres are essential for maintaining chromosome stability during somatic cell division and their shortening is associated with cellular senescence and aging. In…

mRNA and Protein Expression in Human Fetal Membrane Cells: Potential Biomarkers for Preterm Prelabor Rupture of the Fetal Membranes?

Clinically, unique markers in fetal membrane cells may contribute to the search for biomarkers for preterm prelabor rupture of the fetal membranes (pPROM) in maternal blood. pPROM is associated with overwhelming inflammation and premature cellular senescence causing "biological microfractures" of the fetal membranes. We hypothesize that these pathological processes are associated with the shedding of fetal membrane cells into the maternal circulation. The aim of this study was to identify markers expressed exclusively in fetal membrane cells to facilitate their isolation, characterization, and…

Friend or Foe: Regulation, Downstream Effectors of RRAD in Cancer.

Ras-related associated with diabetes (RRAD), a member of the Ras-related GTPase superfamily, is primarily a cytosolic protein that actives in the plasma membrane. RRAD is highly expressed in type 2 diabetes patients and as a biomarker of congestive heart failure. Mounting evidence showed that RRAD is important for the progression and metastasis of tumor cells, which play opposite roles as an oncogene or tumor suppressor gene depending on cancer and cell type. These findings are of great significance, especially given that relevant molecular mechanisms are being discovered. Being regulated in v

Role of Hydroxytyrosol and Oleuropein in the Prevention of Aging and Related Disorders: Focus on Neurodegeneration, Skeletal Muscle Dysfunction and Gut Microbiota.

Aging is a multi-faceted process caused by the accumulation of cellular damage over time, associated with a gradual reduction of physiological activities in cells and organs. This degeneration results in a reduced ability to adapt to homeostasis perturbations and an increased incidence of illnesses such as cognitive decline, neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes, and skeletal muscle pathologies. Key features of aging include a chronic low-grade inflammation state and a decrease of the autophagic process. The Mediterranean diet has been associated with longevity and ab

Loneliness, Depression, and Genetics in the Elderly: Prognostic Factors of a Worse Health Condition?

Loneliness is considered a prognostic factor for poorer health status in the elderly. It is proposed to analyze the role of loneliness in he … nalized persons of 50 years of age or older. Moreover, since telomere shortening is associated with cellular senescence, 35 telomere-related SNPs and cognitive impairments were analyzed. The results characterize the "solos" as males of 50-60 years, who were overweight and had lower levels of hemoglobin and neutrophils. There is also an association between five SNPs r …

Fructose Causes Liver Damage, Polyploidy, and Dysplasia in the Setting of Short Telomeres and p53 Loss.

Studies in humans and model systems have established an important role of short telomeres in predisposing to liver fibrosis through pathways that are incompletely understood. Recent studies have shown that telomere dysfunction impairs cellular metabolism, but whether and how these metabolic alterations contribute to liver fibrosis is not well understood. Here, we investigated whether short telomeres change the hepatic response to metabolic stress induced by fructose, a sugar that is highly implicated in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. We find that telomere shortening in telomerase knockout

Aging dependent effect of nuclear tau.

Tau protein is characterized by a complex pattern of phosphorylation and is localized in the cytoplasm and nucleus in both neuronal and non-neuronal cells. Human AT100 nuclear tau, endowed by phosphorylation in Thr212/Ser214, was recently shown to decline in cornus ammonis 1 (CA1) and dentate gyrus (DG) in Alzheimer's disease (AD), but a defined function for this nuclear tau remains unclear. Here we show that AT100 progressively increases in the nuclei of neuronal and non-neuronal cells during aging, and decreases in the more severe AD stages, as recently shown, and in cancer cells (colorectal

Long-term culture of human odontoma-derived cells with a Rho kinase inhibitor.

Because of cellular senescence/apoptosis, no effective culture systems are available to maintain replication of cells from odontogenic tumors especially for odontoma, and, thus, the ability to isolate human odontoma-derived cells (hODCs) for functional studies is needed. The current study was undertaken to develop an approach to isolate hODCs and fully characterize the cells in vitro. The hODCs were cultured successfully with a Rho-associated protein kinase inhibitor (Y-27632) for an extended period with stabilized lengths of the telomeres to sustain a similar phenotype/property as the primary…

Molecular facets of sphingolipids: mediators of diseases.

Sphingolipids constitute a biologically active lipid class that is significantly important from both structural and regulatory aspects. The manipulation of sphingolipid metabolism is currently being studied as a novel strategy for cancer therapy. The basics of this therapeutic approach lie in the regulation property of sphingolipids on cellular processes, which are important in a cell's fate, such as cell proliferation, apoptosis, cell cycle arrest, senescence, and inflammation. Furthermore, the mutations in the enzymes catalyzing some specific reactions in the sphingolipid metabolism cause mo

Trophoblast 'pseudo-tumorigenesis': significance and contributory factors.

Trophoblast cells of the human placenta proliferate, migrate, and invade the pregnant uterus and its vasculature in order to nourish the developing fetus, in a way that is imitated by malignant tumors. Many similarities exist between embryo implantation and the growth of cancer cells. We begin this article by reviewing decades of studies that have helped unearth the mechanisms that contribute to the tumor-like phenotype of human trophoblast cells. Interestingly, these attributes are only transient in nature, with stringent spatial and temporal confines. The importance of intrinsic molecular co

Alternative lengthening of telomeres is associated with chromosomal instability in osteosarcomas.

Telomere maintenance is regarded as a key mechanism in overcoming cellular senescence in tumor cells and in most cases is achieved by the activation of telomerase. However there is at least one alternative mechanism of telomere lengthening (ALT) which is characterized by heterogeneous and elongated telomeres in the absence of telomerase activity (TA). We evaluated the prevalence of TA, gene expression of telomerase subunits and ALT in relation to telomere morphology and function in matrix producing bone tumors and in osteosarcoma cell lines and present evidence of a direct association of ALT w…
