The role of cellular senescence in profibrillatory atrial remodelling associated with cardiac pathology. Cardiovasc Res 2024; 120:506-518. [PMID: 38181429 PMCID: PMC11060482 DOI: 10.1093/cvr/cvae003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2023] [Revised: 11/21/2023] [Accepted: 12/12/2023] [Indexed: 01/07/2024] Open
Abstract
AIMS Cellular senescence is a stress-related or aging response believed to contribute to many cardiac conditions; however, its role in atrial fibrillation (AF) is unknown. Age is the single most important determinant of the risk of AF. The present study was designed to (i) evaluate AF susceptibility and senescence marker expression in rat models of aging and myocardial infarction (MI), (ii) study the effect of reducing senescent-cell burden with senolytic therapy on the atrial substrate in MI rats, and (iii) assess senescence markers in human atrial tissue as a function of age and the presence of AF. METHODS AND RESULTS AF susceptibility was studied with programmed electrical stimulation. Gene and protein expression was evaluated by immunoblot or immunofluorescence (protein) and digital polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or reverse transcriptase quantitative PCR (messenger RNA). A previously validated senolytic combination, dasatinib and quercetin, (D+Q; or corresponding vehicle) was administered from the time of sham or MI surgery through 28 days later. Experiments were performed blinded to treatment assignment. Burst pacing-induced AF was seen in 100% of aged (18-month old) rats, 87.5% of young MI rats, and 10% of young control (3-month old) rats (P ≤ 0.001 vs. each). Conduction velocity was slower in aged [both left atrium (LA) and right atrium (RA)] and young MI (LA) rats vs. young control rats (P ≤ 0.001 vs. each). Atrial fibrosis was greater in aged (LA and RA) and young MI (LA) vs. young control rats (P < 0.05 for each). Senolytic therapy reduced AF inducibility in MI rats (from 8/9 rats, 89% in MI vehicle, to 0/9 rats, 0% in MI D + Q, P < 0.001) and attenuated LA fibrosis. Double staining suggested that D + Q acts by clearing senescent myofibroblasts and endothelial cells. In human atria, senescence markers were upregulated in older (≥70 years) and long-standing AF patients vs. individuals ≤60 and sinus rhythm controls, respectively. CONCLUSION Our results point to a potentially significant role of cellular senescence in AF pathophysiology. Modulating cell senescence might provide a basis for novel therapeutic approaches to AF.

Abstract
While chronic heart failure (CHF) treatment has considerably improved patient prognosis and survival, the therapeutic management of acute heart failure (AHF) has remained virtually unchanged in the last decades. This is partly due to the scarcity of pre-clinical models for the pathophysiological assessment and, consequently, the limited knowledge of molecular mechanisms involved in the different AHF phenotypes. This scientific statement outlines the different trajectories from acute to CHF originating from the interaction between aetiology, genetic and environmental factors, and comorbidities. Furthermore, we discuss the potential molecular targets capable of unveiling new therapeutic perspectives to improve the outcome of the acute phase and counteracting the evolution towards CHF.

Abstract
Cellular senescence (CS), classically considered a stable cell cycle withdrawal, is hallmarked by a progressive decrease in cell growth, differentiation, and biological activities. Senescent cells (SNCs) display a complicated senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), encompassing a variety of pro-inflammatory factors that exert influence on the biology of both the cell and surrounding tissue. Among global mortality causes, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) stand out, significantly impacting the living quality and functional abilities of patients. Recent data suggest the accumulation of SNCs in aged or diseased cardiovascular systems, suggesting their potential role in impairing cardiovascular function. CS operates as a double-edged sword: while it can stimulate the restoration of organs under physiological conditions, it can also participate in organ and tissue dysfunction and pave the way for multiple chronic diseases under pathological states. This review explores the mechanisms that underlie CS and delves into the distinctive features that characterize SNCs. Furthermore, we describe the involvement of SNCs in the progression of CVDs. Finally, the study provides a summary of emerging interventions that either promote or suppress senescence and discusses their therapeutic potential in CVDs.

Abstract
The epidemic of heart failure (HF) is one of the problems that the global health system has been facing for decades. HF is a multicomponent clinical syndrome caused by dysfunction of the heart and its pathological remodeling. In addition to the well-known natriuretic peptides, a number of cardiovascular biological markers have now been identified that provide clinicians with additional opportunities in diagnosing, classifying, predicting, and monitoring the effectiveness of treating patients with HF. From the position of establishing the sympathetic load in patients with HF, it seems very promising to assess the concentrations of catestatin. The presented data of our literature review suggest that catestatin is probably a reliable biological marker of the activity of the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system, and its elevated concentrations in patients with HF reflect the severity of the pathological process. However, despite the reliable results of studies, the clinical significance of assessing the values of this marker both separately and in the framework of a multimarker model requires further study in larger prospective clinical studies.

Abstract
Exposure to chronic adverse conditions, and the resultant activation of the neurobiological response cascade, has been associated with an increased risk of early onset of age-related disease and, recently, with an older biological age. This body of research has led to the hypothesis that exposure to stressful life experiences, when occurring repeatedly or over a prolonged period, may accelerate the rate at which the body ages. The mechanisms through which chronic psychosocial stress influences distinct biological aging pathways to alter rates of aging likely involve multiple layers in the physiological-molecular network. In this review, we integrate research using animal, human, and in vitro models to begin to delineate the distinct pathways through which chronic psychosocial stress may impact biological aging, as well as the neuroendocrine mediators (i.e., norepinephrine, epinephrine, and glucocorticoids) that may drive these effects. Findings highlight key connections between stress and aging, namely cellular metabolic activity, DNA damage, telomere length, cellular senescence, and inflammatory response patterns. We conclude with a guiding framework and conceptual model that outlines the most promising biological pathways by which chronic adverse conditions could accelerate aging and point to key missing gaps in knowledge where future research could best answer these pressing questions.

Abstract
Increasing chronological age is the greatest risk factor for human diseases. Cellular senescence (CS), which is characterized by permanent cell-cycle arrest, has recently emerged as a fundamental mechanism in developing aging-related pathologies. During the aging process, senescent cell accumulation results in senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) which plays an essential role in tissue dysfunction. Although discovered very recently, senotherapeutic drugs have been already involved in clinical studies. This review gives a summary of the molecular mechanisms of CS and its role particularly in the development of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) as the leading cause of death. In addition, it addresses alternative research tools including the nonhuman and human models as well as computational techniques for the discovery of novel therapies. Finally, senotherapeutic approaches that are mainly classified as senolytics and senomorphics are discussed.

Abstract
Research with animals and humans has demonstrated that chronic stress exposure can impact key biological aging pathways such as inflammation and DNA damage, suggesting a mechanism through which stress may increase risk for age-related disease. However, it is less clear whether these effects extend to other hallmarks of the aging process, such as cellular senescence. Male SCID mice were exposed to 14 days of restraint stress, with (n = 6) or without (n = 10) propranolol administration, or a non-stress control condition (n = 10). Normal femoral bone marrow leukocytes were isolated from engrafted leukemia cells that had been injected prior to the stressor, as the mice were also under a cancer challenge. We performed whole genome transcriptional profiling to assess indicators of biological aging: cell stress, DNA damage repair, cellular senescence markers p16INK4a and p21, and the pro-inflammatory senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). ANCOVAs that adjusted for tumor load and Fisher's pairwise comparisons revealed that stressed mice had enhanced p16INK4a (p = .02) and p21 (p = .004), lower DNA damage repair (p < .001), and higher SASP (p = .03) gene expression than control mice. Stressed mice also showed up-regulated beta-adrenergic (CREB) and inflammatory (NF-кB, AP-1) and down-regulated cell stress (Nrf2) transcription factor activity relative to control mice (ps < .01). Propranolol reversed CREB and Nrf2 activity (ps < .03). Findings suggest that chronic stress exposure can impact several key biological aging pathways within bone marrow leukocytes and these effects may be partially mediated by sympathetic beta-adrenergic receptor activation.

Abstract
Cellular senescence, classically defined as stable cell cycle arrest, is implicated in biological processes such as embryogenesis, wound healing and ageing. Senescent cells have a complex senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), involving a range of pro-inflammatory factors with important paracrine and autocrine effects on cell and tissue biology. Clinical evidence and experimental studies link cellular senescence, senescent cell accumulation, and the production and release of SASP components with age-related cardiac pathologies such as heart failure, myocardial ischaemia and infarction, and cancer chemotherapy-related cardiotoxicity. However, the precise role of senescent cells in these conditions is unclear and, in some instances, both detrimental and beneficial effects have been reported. The involvement of cellular senescence in other important entities, such as cardiac arrhythmias and remodelling, is poorly understood. In this Review, we summarize the basic biology of cellular senescence and discuss what is known about the role of cellular senescence and the SASP in heart disease. We then consider the various approaches that are being developed to prevent the accumulation of senescent cells and their consequences. Many of these strategies are applicable in vivo and some are being investigated for non-cardiac indications in clinical trials. We end by considering important knowledge gaps, directions for future research and the potential implications for improving the management of patients with heart disease.

Abstract
Chronic inflammation, the activation of immune cells and their cross-talk with cardiomyocytes in the pathogenesis and progression of heart diseases has long been overlooked. However, with the latest research developments, it is increasingly accepted that a vicious cycle exists where cardiomyocytes release cardiocrine signaling molecules that spiral down to immune cell activation and chronic state of low-level inflammation. For example, cardiocrine molecules released from injured or stressed cardiomyocytes can stimulate macrophages, dendritic cells, neutrophils and even T-cells, which then subsequently increase cardiac inflammation by co-stimulation and positive feedback loops. One of the key proteins involved in stress-mediated cardiomyocyte signal transduction is a small GTPase RhoA. Importantly, the regulation of RhoA activation is critical for effective immune cell response and is being considered as one of the potential therapeutic targets in many immune-cell-mediated inflammatory diseases. In this review we provide an update on the role of RhoA at the juncture of immune cell activation, inflammation and cardiac disease.

Abstract
Aims Recent insights have emphasized the importance of myocardial and systemic inflammation in Takotsubo syndrome (TTS). In a large registry of unselected patients, we sought to evaluate whether residual high inflammatory response (RHIR) could impact cardiovascular outcome after TTS. Methods and results Patients with TTS were retrospectively included between 2008 and 2018 in three general hospitals. Three hundred eighty‐five patients with TTS were split into three subgroups, according to tertiles of C‐reactive protein (CRP) levels at discharge (CRP <5.2 mg/L, CRP range 5.2 to 19 mg/L, and CRP >19 mg/L). The primary endpoint was the impact of RHIR, defined as CRP >19 mg/L at discharge, on cardiac death or hospitalization for heart failure. Follow up was obtained in 382 patients (99%) after a median of 747 days. RHIR patients were more likely to have a history of cancer or a physical trigger. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) at admission and at discharge were comparable between groups. By contrast, RHIR was associated with lower LVEF at follow up (61.7% vs. 60.7% vs. 57.9%; P = 0.004) and increased cardiac late mortality (0% vs. 0% vs. 10%; P = 0.001). By multivariate Cox regression analysis, RHIR was an independent predictor of cardiac death or hospitalization for heart failure (hazard ratio: 1.87; 95% confidence interval: 1.08 to 3.25; P = 0.025). Conclusions Residual high inflammatory response was associated with impaired LVEF at follow up and was evidenced as an independent factor of cardiovascular events. All together, these findings underline RHIR patients as a high‐risk subgroup, to target in future clinical trials with specific therapies to attenuate RHIR.

Abstract
Heart failure (HF) is a complex clinical syndrome characterized by the activation of at least several neurohumoral pathways that have a common role in maintaining cardiac output and adequate perfusion pressure of target organs and tissues. The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) is upregulated in HF as evident in dysfunctional baroreceptor and chemoreceptor reflexes, circulating and neuronal catecholamine spillover, attenuated parasympathetic response, and augmented sympathetic outflow to the heart, kidneys and skeletal muscles. When these sympathoexcitatory effects on the cardiovascular system are sustained chronically they initiate the vicious circle of HF progression and become associated with cardiomyocyte apoptosis, maladaptive ventricular and vascular remodeling, arrhythmogenesis, and poor prognosis in patients with HF. These detrimental effects of SNS activity on outcomes in HF warrant adequate diagnostic and treatment modalities. Therefore, this review summarizes basic physiological concepts about the interaction of SNS with the cardiovascular system and highlights key pathophysiological mechanisms of SNS derangement in HF. Finally, special emphasis in this review is placed on the integrative and up-to-date overview of diagnostic modalities such as SNS imaging methods and novel laboratory biomarkers that could aid in the assessment of the degree of SNS activation and provide reliable prognostic information among patients with HF.

Abstract
The prevalence of heart failure (HF), including reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), has increased significantly worldwide. However, the prognosis and treatment of HF are still not good. Recent studies have demonstrated that high-density lipoprotein (HDL) plays an important role in cardiac repair during HF. The exact role and mechanism of HDL in the regulation of HF remain unexplained. Here, we discuss recent findings regarding HDL in the progression of HF, such as the regulation of excitation-contraction coupling, energy homeostasis, inflammation, neurohormone activation, and microvascular dysfunction. The effects of HDL on the regulation of cardiac-related cells, such as endothelial cells (ECs), cardiomyocytes (CMs), and on cardiac resident immune cell dysfunction in HF are also explained. An in-depth understanding of HDL function in the heart may provide new strategies for the prevention and treatment of HF.

Abstract
So far, there remains a controversy regarding the efficacy of epinephrine (Ep) in patients with cardiopulmonary arrest (CPA). In this study, we evaluated the importance of the plasma levels of catecholamines prior to the administration of Ep in patients with CPA. Patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) who were transferred to Gunma University Hospital were enrolled prospectively between July 2014 and July 2017. The levels of catecholamines [Ep, norepinephrine (NEp), and dopamine] and vasopressin (antidiuretic hormone) in the plasma were measured using blood samples of cardiogenic patients with OHCA not treated with Ep. Patients were divided into two groups: the return of spontaneous circulation [ROSC (+) ] group and the no return of spontaneous circulation [ROSC (-) ] group. The plasma levels of these agents and the conditions of resuscitation were compared between these two groups. 48 patients with cardiogenic CPA had not been treated with Ep prior to obtaining the blood samples. The ROSC (+) and ROSC (-) groups included 14 and 34 patients, respectively. The frequency of prehospital defibrillation was significantly higher in the ROSC (+) group. However, the prehospital resuscitation time was significantly shorter in the ROSC (+) group. Moreover, the levels of Ep and NEp in the plasma were significantly lower in the ROSC (+) group. The increased levels of Ep in the plasma may not be associated with the acquisition of ROSC in patients with cardiogenic CPA.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases such as heart failure and metabolic syndrome have high prevalence in the elderly population and are leading causes of death, disability, hospitalization, driving high healthcare costs worldwide. To reduce this social and economic burden there is urgency to find effective therapeutic targets. Several studies have linked the dysfunction of the Sympathetic Nervous System and β-adrenergic receptor signaling with the pathogenesis of age-related cardiovascular diseases. Therapeutic treatments that restore their functions have been shown to be effective in subjects with cardiovascular comorbidities. In fact, lifestyle interventions (such as exercise training and diet) as well as pharmacologic treatments (e.g. β-blockers or moxonidine) and mini-invasive interventions (renal sympathetic denervation) have beneficial effects on age-related cardiovascular diseases. In the current "Medicine in focus" article we will discuss the pathogenic role of the Sympathetic Nervous System in age-related cardiovascular diseases as well as current and new therapeutic approaches.
