Abstract
Vascular aging (VA) is recognized as a pivotal factor in the development and progression of atherosclerosis (AS). Although various epidemiological and clinical research has demonstrated an intimate connection between aging and AS, the candidate mechanisms still require thorough examination. This review adopts an aging-centric perspective to deepen the comprehension of the intricate relationship between biological aging, vascular cell senescence, and AS. Various aging-related physiological factors influence the physical system's reactions, including oxygen radicals, inflammation, lipids, angiotensin II, mechanical forces, glucose levels, and insulin resistance. These factors cause endothelial dysfunction, barrier damage, sclerosis, and inflammation for VA and promote AS via distinct or shared pathways. Furthermore, the increase of senescent cells inside the vascular tissues, caused by genetic damage, dysregulation, secretome changes, and epigenetic modifications, might be the primary cause of VA.

Heliyon 2024; 10:e24586. [PMID: 38322899 PMCID: PMC10844051 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e24586] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2023] [Revised: 01/09/2024] [Accepted: 01/10/2024] [Indexed: 02/08/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Advancing age is one of the independent risk factors for cardiovascular disorders. The Compendium of Materia Medica, a classic book on traditional Chinese medicine, states that ginseng "harmonizes the five internal organs, calming the spirit and prolonging the years of life." Considered one of the primary bioactive compounds derived from Panax ginseng, ginsenoside Rb1 (g-Rb1) has been scientifically suggested to possess anti-senescence efficacy. More research is needed to explore the vascular pharmacological activity and potential clinical application value of g-Rb1. Aims of the study Our previous study demonstrated that g-Rb1 could mitigate cellular senescence via the SIRT1/eNOS pathway. This study was performed to explore the exact mechanisms by which g-Rb1 modulates the SIRT1/eNOS pathway. Materials and methods We used human primary umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) to establish a replicative ageing model. Real-time (RT‒PCR), western blotting, small interfering RNA (siRNA), and immunoprecipitation were conducted to detect the effect of g-Rb1 on the SIRT1/caveolin-1/eNOS axis. Results G-Rb1 increased NO production and alleviated replicative senescence of HUVECs. The application of g-Rb1 elevated the mRNA and protein abundance of both SIRT1 and eNOS while concomitantly suppressing the expression of caveolin-1. Inhibition of SIRT1 and eNOS by siRNAs suppressed the anti-senescence function of g-Rb1, while caveolin-1 siRNA could enhance it. G-Rb1 decreased the acetylation level of caveolin-1 and increased NO production, which was suppressed by SIRT1 siRNA. Both g-Rb1 and caveolin-1 siRNA could reduce the acetylation level of eNOS and increase NO production. Conclusion G-Rb1 prevents age-related endothelial senescence by modulating the SIRT1/caveolin-1/eNOS signaling pathway.

Abstract
Background Postmenopausal osteoporosis and osteoporosis-related fractures are world-wide serious public health problem. Recent studies demonstrated that inhibiting caveolin-1 leads to osteoclastogenesis suppression and protection against OVX-induced osteoporosis. This study aimed to explore the mechanism of caveolin-1 mediating bone loss and the potential therapeutic target. Methods Thirty C57BL/6 female mice were allocated randomly into three groups: sham or bilateral ovariectomy (OVX) surgeries were performed for mice and subsequently daidzein or vehicle was administrated to animals (control, OVX + vehicle and OVX + daidzein). After 8-week administration, femurs were harvested for Micro-CT scan, histological staining including H&E, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, TRAP. Bone marrow endothelial cells (BMECs) were cultured and treated with inhibitors of caveolin-1 (daidzein) or EGFR (erlotinib) and then scratch wound healing and ki67 assays were performed. In addition, cells were harvested for western blot and PCR analysis. Results Micro-CT showed inhibiting caveolin-1with daidzein alleviated OVX-induced osteoporosis and osteogenesis suppression. Further investigations revealed H-type vessels in cancellous bone were decreased in OVX-induced mice, which can be alleviated by daidzein. It was subsequently proved that daidzein improved migration and proliferation of BMECs hence improved H-type vessels formation through inhibiting caveolin-1, which suppressed EGFR/AKT/PI3K signaling in BMECs. Conclusions This study demonstrated that daidzein alleviates OVX-induced osteoporosis by promoting H-type vessels formation in cancellous bone, which then promotes bone formation. Activating EGFR/AKT/PI3K signaling could be the critical reason.

Abstract
Introduction: Mitochondrial quality control (MQC) is an important mechanism of neural repair after cerebral ischemia (CI). Recent studies have shown that caveolin-1 (Cav-1) is an important signaling molecule in the process of CI injury, but its mechanism of regulating MQC after CI is still unclear. Buyang Huanwu Decoction (BHD) is a classic traditional Chinese medicine formula that is often used to treat CI. Unfortunately, its mechanism of action is still obscure. Methods: In this study, we tested the hypothesis that BHD can regulate MQC through Cav-1 and exert an anti-cerebral ischemia injury effect. We used Cav-1 knockout mice and their homologous wild-type mice, replicated middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model and BHD intervention. Neurobehavioral scores and pathological detection were used to evaluate neurological function and neuron damage, transmission electron microscopy and enzymology detection of mitochondrial damage. Finally, western blot and RT-qPCR expression of MQC-related molecules were tested. Results: After CI, mice showed neurologic impairment, neuronal damage, and significant destruction of mitochondrial morphology and function, and MQC was imbalanced. Cav-1 deletion aggravated the damage to neurological function, neurons, mitochondrial morphology and mitochondrial function after CI, aggravated the imbalance of mitochondrial dynamics, and inhibited mitophagy and biosynthesis. BHD can maintain MQC homeostasis after CI through Cav-1 and improve CI injury. Discussion: Cav-1 can affect CI injury by regulating MQC, and this mechanism may be another target of BHD for anti-cerebral ischemia injury.

Abstract
Endothelial cells are located at the crucial interface between circulating blood and semi-solid tissues and have many important roles in maintaining systemic physiological function. The vascular endothelium is particularly susceptible to pathogenic stimuli that activate tumour suppressor pathways leading to cellular senescence. We now understand that senescent endothelial cells are highly active, secretory and pro-inflammatory, and have an aberrant morphological phenotype. Moreover, endothelial senescence has been identified as an important contributor to various cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. In this Review, we discuss the consequences of endothelial cell exposure to damaging stimuli (haemodynamic forces and circulating and endothelial-derived factors) and the cellular and molecular mechanisms that induce endothelial cell senescence. We also discuss how endothelial cell senescence causes arterial dysfunction and contributes to clinical cardiovascular diseases and metabolic disorders. Finally, we summarize the latest evidence on the effect of eliminating senescent endothelial cells (senolysis) and identify important remaining questions to be addressed in future studies.

Postprandial triglyceride-rich lipoproteins promote the adipogenic differentiation of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells via the LRP1/caveolin-1/AKT1 pathway. Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Cell Biol Lipids 2023; 1868:159236. [PMID: 36179802 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbalip.2022.159236] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2022] [Revised: 09/02/2022] [Accepted: 09/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
Diet-induced obesity (OB) is usually accompanied by hypertriglyceridemia, which is characterized by the accumulation of triglyceride (TG)-rich lipoprotein (TRL) particles in the circulation. We previously found that postprandial TRL combined with insulin induced the adipogenic differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes, which may represent a key mechanism underlying obesity. However, the specific mechanism and signaling pathway involved in this process remain to be fully elucidated. In this study, we found that, in the postprandial state, patients with obesity had significantly higher levels of TG and remnant cholesterol (RC) than normal-weight controls. In vitro, we found that postprandial TRL, together with insulin, promoted the adipogenic differentiation of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AMSCs), as evidenced by the increased expression of lipogenesis-related genes and their protein products, including low-density lipoprotein related protein 1 (LRP1). Besides, caveolin-1 (Cav-1) expression was also significantly upregulated under this condition. Cav-1 and LRP1 were observed to interact, and then led to the activation of the PI3K/AKT1 signaling pathway. Meanwhile, the inhibition of LRP1 or Cav-1 significantly attenuated the adipogenic differentiation of AMSCs and downregulated AKT1 phosphorylation levels. Moreover, treatment with a selective AKT1 inhibitor significantly suppressed postprandial TRL and insulin-induced adipogenesis in AMSCs. Combined, our results demonstrated that, in association with insulin, postprandial TRL can promote the adipogenic differentiation of AMSCs in a manner that is dependent on the LRP1/Cav-1-mediated activation of the PI3K/AKT1 signaling pathway. Our findings indicated that a postprandial increase in TRL content is a critical factor in the pathogenesis of hypertriglyceridemia and diet-induced obesity.

Abstract
With the rapid aging in the global population, delay of aging has become a hot research topic. Lipid rafts (LRs) are microdomains in the plasma membrane that contain sphingolipids and cholesterol. Emerging evidence indicates an interesting interplay between LRs and aging. LRs and their components are altered with aging. Further, the aging process is strongly influenced by LRs. In recent years, LRs and their component signaling molecules have been recognized to affect aging by interfering with its hallmarks. Therefore, targeting LRs is a promising strategy to delay aging.

Abstract
Mitochondrial dysfunction plays a pivotal role in the Alzheimer's Disease (AD) pathology. Disrupted mitochondrial dynamics (i.e., fusion/fission balance), which are essential for normal mitochondria structure and function, are documented in AD. Caveolin-1 (Cav-1), a membrane/lipid raft (MLR) scaffolding protein regulates metabolic pathways in several different cell types such as hepatocytes and cancer cells. Previously, we have shown decreased expression of Cav-1 in the hippocampus of 9-month (m) old PSAPP mice, while hippocampal overexpression of neuron-targeted Cav-1 using the synapsin promoter (i.e., SynCav1) preserved cognitive function, neuronal morphology, and synaptic ultrastructure in 9 and 12 m PSAPP mice. Considering the central role of energy production in maintaining normal neuronal and synaptic function and survival, the present study reveals that PSAPP mice exhibit disrupted mitochondrial distribution, morphometry, and respiration. In contrast, SynCav1 mitigates mitochondrial damage and loss and enhances mitochondrial respiration. Furthermore, by examining mitochondrial dynamics, we found that PSAPP mice showed a significant increase in the phosphorylation of mitochondrial dynamin-related GTPase protein (DRP1), resulting in excessive mitochondria fragmentation and dysfunction. In contrast, hippocampal delivery of SynCav1 significantly decreased p-DRP1 and augmented the level of the mitochondrial fusion protein, mitofusin1 (Mfn1) in PSAPP mice, a molecular event, which may mechanistically explain for the preserved balance of mitochondria fission/fusion and metabolic resilience in 12 m PSAPP-SynCav1 mice. Our data demonstrate the critical role for Cav-1 in maintaining normal mitochondrial morphology and function through affecting mitochondrial dynamics and explain a molecular and cellular mechanism underlying the previously reported neuroprotective and cognitive preservation induced by SynCav1 in PSAPP mouse model of AD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Glioblastoma is the most common and aggressive type of primary brain tumor, as most patients succumb to the disease less than two years after diagnosis. Critically, studies demonstrate that glioma recruits surrounding blood vessels, while some work suggests that tumor stem cells themselves directly differentiate into endothelial cells, yet the molecular and cellular dynamics of the endothelium in glioma are poorly characterized. The goal of this study was to establish molecular and morphological benchmarks for tumor associated vessels (TAVs) and tumor derived endothelial cells (TDECs) during glioblastoma progression. METHODS Using In-Utero Electroporation and CRISPR/Cas9 genome engineering to generate a native, immunocompetent mouse model of glioma, we characterized vascular-tumor dynamics in three dimensions during tumor progression. We employed bulk and single-cell RNA-Sequencing to elucidate the relationship between TAVs and TDECs. We confirmed our findings in a patient derived orthotopic xenograft (PDOX) model. RESULTS Using a mouse model of glioma, we identified progressive alteration of vessel function and morphogenesis over time. We also showed in our mouse model that TDECs are a rare subpopulation that contributes to vessels within the tumor, albeit to a limited degree. Furthermore, transcriptional profiling demonstrates that both TAVs and TDECs are molecularly distinct, and both populations feature extensive molecular heterogeneity. Finally, the distinct molecular signatures of these heterogeneous populations are also present in human glioma. CONCLUSIONS Our findings show extensive endothelial heterogeneity within the tumor and tumor microenvironment and provide insights into the diverse cellular and molecular mechanisms that drive glioma vascularization and angiogenesis during tumorigenesis.

Dexmedetomidine attenuates lipopolysaccharide-induced acute liver injury in rats by inhibiting caveolin-1 downstream signaling pathway. Biosci Rep 2021; 41:227822. [PMID: 33558888 PMCID: PMC7938455 DOI: 10.1042/bsr20204279] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2020] [Revised: 02/07/2021] [Accepted: 02/08/2021] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective: The aim of the present study is to investigate the anti-injury and anti-inflammatory effects of dexmedetomidine (Dex) in acute liver injury induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in Sprague–Dawley rats and its possible mechanism. Methods: The acute liver injury model of male rats was established by injecting LPS into tail vein. The mean arterial pressure (MAP) of rats was recorded at 0–7 h, and lactic acid was detected at different time points. Wet/dry weight ratio (W/D) was calculated. Pathological changes of rat liver were observed by HE staining. ALT and AST levels in serum were detected. The activities of myeloperoxidase (MPO) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in liver tissue homogenate and the levels of IL-1β and IL-18 in serum were detected by ELISA. Protein levels of Caveolin-1 (Cav-1), TLR-4 and NLRP3 in liver tissue were tested by immunohistochemistry method. The expression of Cav-1, TLR-4 and NLRP3 mRNA in liver tissue was detected by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) to explore its related mechanism. Results: Compared with NS group, serum lactic acid, W/D of liver tissue, MPO, SOD, IL-1β and IL-18 were significantly increased and MAP decreased significantly in LPS group and D+L group. However, compared with NS group, D group showed no significant difference in various indicators. Compared with LPS group, MPO, SOD, IL-1β and IL-18 were significantly decreased and MAP was significantly increased in D+L group. D+L group could significantly increase the level of Cav-1 protein and decrease the level of TLR-4 and NLRP3 protein in liver tissue caused by sepsis. The expression of Cav-1 mRNA was significantly up-regulated and the expression of TLR-4 and NLRP3 mRNA was inhibited in D+L group. Conclusion: Dex pretreatment protects against LPS-induced actue liver injury via inhibiting the activation of the NLRP3 signaling pathway by up-regulating the expression of Cav-1 by sepsis.

Abstract
Cellular senescence is a feature of most somatic cells. It is characterized by an irreversible cell cycle arrest and by the ability to secrete a plethora of mediators of inflammation and growth factors, which can alter the senescent cell's microenvironment. Senescent cells accumulate in tissues over time and contribute to both aging and the development of age-associated diseases. Senescent cells have antagonistic pleiotropic roles in cancer. Given the inability of senescent cells to proliferate, cellular senescence is a powerful tumor suppressor mechanism in young individuals. However, accumulation of senescent stromal cells during aging can fuel cancer cell growth in virtue of their capacity to release factors that stimulate cell proliferation. Caveolin-1 is a structural protein component of caveolae, invaginations of the plasma membrane involved in a variety of cellular processes, including signal transduction. Mounting evidence over the last 10-15 years has demonstrated a central role of caveolin-1 in the development of a senescent phenotype and the regulation of both the anti-tumorigenic and pro-tumorigenic properties of cellular senescence. In this review, we discuss the cellular mechanisms and functions of caveolin-1 in the context of cellular senescence and their relevance to the biology of cancer.

Abstract
Endothelial cells have emerged as key players in SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 inflammatory pathologies. Dysfunctional endothelial cells can promote chronic inflammation and disease processes like thrombosis, atherosclerosis, and lung injury. In endothelial cells, mitochondria regulate these inflammatory pathways via redox signaling, which is primarily achieved through mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS). Excess mtROS causes oxidative stress that can initiate and exacerbate senescence, a state that promotes inflammation and chronic endothelial dysfunction. Oxidative stress can also activate feedback loops that perpetuate mitochondrial dysfunction, mtROS overproduction, and inflammation. In this review, we provide an overview of phenotypes mediated by mtROS in endothelial cells - such as mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation, and senescence - as well as how these chronic states may be initiated by SARS-CoV-2 infection of endothelial cells. We also propose that SARS-CoV-2 activates mtROS-mediated feedback loops that cause long-term changes in host redox status and endothelial function, promoting cardiovascular disease and lung injury after recovery from COVID-19. Finally, we discuss the implications of these proposed pathways on long-term vascular health and potential treatments to address these chronic conditions.

Abstract
Cellular senescence is now recognized as one of the hallmarks of aging. Herein, we examine current findings on senescence of the vascular endothelium and its impacts on age-related vascular diseases. Endothelial senescence can result in systemic metabolic changes, implicating senescence in chronic diseases such as diabetes, obesity and atherosclerosis. Senolytics, drugs that eliminate senescent cells, afford new therapeutic strategies for control of these chronic diseases.

Abstract
Endothelial senescence is an emerging cause of vascular dysfunction. Because microparticles are effectors of endothelial inflammation and vascular injury after ischaemia-reperfusion, we examined leucocyte-derived microparticles of spleen origin as possible contributors. Microparticles were generated from primary rat splenocytes by either lipopolysaccharide or phorbol-myristate-acetate/calcium ionophore, under conditions mimicking innate and adaptive immune responses. Incubation of primary porcine coronary endothelial cells with either type of microparticles, but not with those from unstimulated splenocytes, leads to a similar threefold raise in senescence-associated β-galactosidase activity within 48 hours, indicating accelerated senescence, to endothelial oxidative stress, and a fivefold and threefold increase in p21 and p16 senescence markers after 24 hours. After 12-hour incubation, the endothelial-dependent relaxation of coronary artery rings was reduced by 50%, at distinct optimal microparticle concentration. In vitro, microparticles were pro-thrombotic by up-regulating the local angiotensin system, by prompting tissue factor activity and a secondary generation of pro-coagulant endothelial microparticles. They initiated an early pro-inflammatory response by inducing phosphorylation of NF-κB, MAP kinases and Akt after 1 hour, and up-regulated VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 at 24 hours. Accordingly, VCAM-1 and COX-2 were also up-regulated in the coronary artery endothelium and eNOS down-regulated. Lipopolysaccharide specifically favoured the shedding of neutrophil- and monocyte-derived microparticles. A 80% immuno-depletion of neutrophil microparticles reduced endothelial senescence by 55%, indicating a key role. Altogether, data suggest that microparticles from activated splenocytes prompt early pro-inflammatory, pro-coagulant and pro-senescent responses in endothelial cells through redox-sensitive pathways. The control of neutrophil shedding could preserve the endothelium at site of ischaemia-reperfusion-driven inflammation and delay its dysfunction.

Abstract
Caveolins regulate myocardial substrate handling, survival signaling and stress-resistance, however control of expression is incompletely defined. We test how metabolic features of type 2 diabetes (T2D), and modulation of cell signaling, influence caveolins in H9c2 cardiomyoblasts. Cells were exposed to glucose (25 vs. 5 mM), insulin (100 nM) or palmitate (0.1 mM), individually or combined, and effects of adenylate cyclase (AC) activation (50 μM forskolin), focal adhesion kinase (FAK) or protein kinase C b2 (PKCβ2) inhibition (1 μM FAK Inhibitor 14 or CGP-53353, respectively), or the polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) α-linolenic acid (ALA; 10 μM) were tested. Simulated T2D (elevated glucose+insulin+palmitate) depressed caveolin-1 and -3 without modifying caveolin-2. Caveolin-3 repression was primarily palmitate dependent, whereas high glucose (HG) and insulin independently increased caveolin-3 (yet reduced expression when combined). Differential control was evident: baseline caveolin-3 was suppressed by FAK/PKCβ2 and insensitive to AC activities, with baseline caveolin-1 and -2 suppressed by AC and insensitive to FAK/PKCβ2. Forskolin and ALA selectively preserved caveolin-3 in T2D cells, whereas PKCb2 and FAK inhibition increased caveolin-3 under all conditions. Despite preservation of caveolin-3, ALA did not modify nucleosome content (apoptosis marker) or transcription of pro-inflammatory mediators in T2D cells. In summary: caveolin-1 and -3 are strongly repressed with simulated T2D, with caveolin-3 particularly sensitive to palmitate; intrinsic PKCb2 and FAK activities repress caveolin-3 in healthy and stressed cells; ALA, AC activation and PKCβ2 inhibition preserve caveolin-3 under T2D conditions; and caveolin-3 changes with T2D and ALA appear unrelated to inflammatory signaling and extent of apoptosis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE) is a relatively new entity within the spectrum of cigarette smoke induced lung disorders. Currently there is no consensus about its treatment. We hypothesized that caveolin-1 critically determines the parenchymal and vascular remodeling leading to the development of CPFE. We assessed the effect of therapeutic targeting of caveolin-1 in mesenchymal and endothelial cells by the phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor, sildenafil. METHODS Male Wistar rats (n = 168) were exposed to; room air (control); bleomycin (7 U/kg), bleomycin+sildenafil (50 mg/kg/day P.O.), cigarette smoke (CS) (4 Gold Flake 69 mm/day), CS + sildenafil, CS + bleomycin, CS + bleomycin+sildenafil. Animals were euthanized at 8, 9, 11, 12 weeks and lung histopathological changes, collagen deposition, ROS, Xanthine oxidase, caveolin-1 determined. RESULTS Cigarette smoke causes progressive ROS accumulation, caveolin-1 up-regulation in alveolar epithelial cells, alveolar macrophages, peribronchiolar fibroblasts, endothelial and vascular smooth muscle cells, interstitial inflammation and emphysema. Sildenafil reduces oxidative stress, parenchymal caveolin-1 and attenuates emphysema caused by CS. Bleomycin increases lung ROS and downregulates caveolin-1 leading to fibroblast proliferation and fibrosis. Combined cigarette smoke and bleomycin exposure, results in differential caveolin-1 expression and heterogeneous parenchymal remodeling with alternating areas of emphysema and fibrosis. Increased caveolin-1 induces premature senescence of lung fibroblasts and emphysema. Decreased caveolin-1 is associated with propagation of EMT and fibrosis. Sildenafil attenuates the parenchymal remodeling however it is not effective in reducing VSMC hypertrophy in combined group. CONCLUSION CPFE is characterized by heterogenous parenchymal remodeling and differential caveolin-1 expression. Sildenafil therapy attenuates parenchymal pathologies in CPFE. Additional therapy is however needed for attenuating VSMC remodeling.

Abstract
Diabetic vascular complications caused by endothelial dysfunction play an important role in the pathogenesis of diabetic foot. A well understanding of the role of endothelial dysfunction in diabetic foot vasculopathy will help to further reveal the pathogenesis of diabetic foot. This study aimed to assess whether the RhoA/ROCK signaling pathway is controlled by Rho GTPase-activating proteins (RhoGAP, ARHGAP) and advanced glycosylation end products (AGEs), and to clarify the roles of ARHGAP and AGEs in the RhoA/ROCK signaling pathway or the mechanism by which AGEs regulated RhoA. Real-time PCR was applied to detect gene expression. Manipulation of endothelial biological functions by ARHGAP18 and AGEs were studied via cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), Western blot, transwell, FITC-Dextran and TEER permeability experiments. RhoA-specific inhibitor Y-27632 was used to silence the activity of RhoA. Dual Luciferase Reporter Assay, Western blot and ELISA assays were used to detect molecular mechanism of endothelial biological functions. In this study, we found that ARHGAP18 was negatively correlated with RhoA, and the expression of ARHGAP18 in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) was decreased with gradient-increased AGEs. Furthermore, AGEs and ARHGAP18 could orchestrate RhoA activity, then activate NF-κB signaling pathway, affect the structural and morphological of VE-cadherin and tight junction protein, and cause endothelial cell contraction, thereby increasing permeability of endothelial cells. In conclusion, AGEs and ARHGAP18 orchestrate cell proliferation, invasion and permeability by controlling the RhoA/ROCK signaling pathway, affecting NF-κB signaling pathway as well as the structure and morphology of VE-cadherin and tight junction protein, and regulating endothelial cell contraction.

Cell Commun Signal 2020; 18:18.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vascular endothelial cell alignment in the direction of flow is an adaptive response that protects against aortic diseases such as atherosclerosis. The RhoGTPases are known to regulate this alignment. We have shown previously that ARHGAP18 in endothelial cells is a negative regulator of RhoC and its expression is essential in flow-mediated alignment. Depletion of ARHGAP18 inhibits alignment and results in the induction of a pro-inflammatory phenotype. In embryogenesis, ARHGAP18 was identified as a downstream effector of the Yes-associated protein, YAP, which regulates cell shape and size. METHODS We have used siRNA technology to deplete either ARHGAP18 or YAP in human endothelial cells. The in vitro studies were performed under athero-protective, laminar flow conditions. The analysis of YAP activity was also investigated, using high performance confocal imaging, in our ARHGAP18 knockout mutant mice. RESULTS We show here that loss of ARHGAP18, although decreasing the expression of YAP results in its nuclear localisation consistent with activation. We further show that depletion of YAP itself results in its activation as defined by an in increase in its nuclear localisation and an increase in the YAP target gene, CyR61. Depletion of YAP, similar to that observed for ARHGAP18 depletion, results in loss of endothelial cell alignment under high shear stress mediated flow and also in the activation of NFkB, as determined by p65 nuclear localisation. In contrast, ARHGAP18 overexpression results in upregulation of YAP, its phosphorylation, and a decrease in the YAP target gene Cyr61, consistent with YAP inactivation. Finally, in ARHGAP18 deleted mice, in regions where there is a loss of endothelial cell alignment, a situation associated with a priming of the cells to a pro-inflammatory phenotype, YAP shows nuclear localisation. CONCLUSION Our results show that YAP is downstream of ARHGAP18 in mature endothelial cells and that this pathway is involved in the athero-protective alignment of endothelial cells under laminar shear stress. ARHGAP18 depletion leads to a disruption of the junctions as seen by loss of VE-Cadherin localisation to these regions and a concomitant localisation of YAP to the nucleus.

Abstract
Background Vascular endothelial cell (EC) alignment in the direction of flow is an adaptive response that protects against aortic diseases, such as atherosclerosis. The Rho GTPases are known to regulate this alignment. Herein, we analyze the effect of ARHGAP18 on the regulation of EC alignment and examine the effect of ARHGAP18 deficiency on the development of atherosclerosis in mice. Methods and Results We used in vitro analysis of ECs under flow conditions together with apolipoprotein E−/−Arhgap18−/− double‐mutant mice to study the function of ARHGAP18 in a high‐fat diet–induced model of atherosclerosis. Depletion of ARHGAP18 inhibited the alignment of ECs in the direction of flow and promoted inflammatory phenotype, as evidenced by disrupted junctions and increased expression of nuclear factor‐κB and intercellular adhesion molecule‐1 and decreased endothelial nitric oxide synthase. Mice with double deletion in ARHGAP18 and apolipoprotein E and fed a high‐fat diet show early onset of atherosclerosis, with lesions developing in atheroprotective regions. Conclusions ARHGAP18 is a protective gene that maintains EC alignments in the direction of flow. Deletion of ARHGAP18 led to loss of EC ability to align and promoted atherosclerosis development.

Abstract
Kallistatin, a plasma protein, protects against vascular and organ injury. This study is aimed to investigate the role and mechanism of kallistatin in endothelial senescence. Kallistatin inhibited H2 O2 -induced senescence in human endothelial cells, as indicated by reduced senescence-associated-β-galactosidase activity, p16INK4a and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 expression, and elevated telomerase activity. Kallistatin blocked H2 O2 -induced superoxide formation, NADPH oxidase levels and VCAM-1, ICAM-1, IL-6 and miR-34a synthesis. Kallistatin reversed H2 O2 -mediated inhibition of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), SIRT1, catalase and superoxide dismutase (SOD)-2 expression, and kallistatin alone stimulated the synthesis of these antioxidant enzymes. Moreover, kallistatin's anti-senescence and anti-oxidant effects were attributed to SIRT1-mediated eNOS pathway. Kallistatin, via interaction with tyrosine kinase, up-regulated Let-7g, whereas Let-7g inhibitor abolished kallistatin's effects on miR-34a and SIRT1/eNOS synthesis, leading to inhibition of senescence, oxidative stress and inflammation. Furthermore, lung endothelial cells isolated from endothelium-specific kallistatin knockout mice displayed marked reduction in mouse kallistatin levels. Kallistatin deficiency in mouse endothelial cells exacerbated senescence, oxidative stress and inflammation compared to wild-type mouse endothelial cells, and H2 O2 treatment further magnified these effects. Kallistatin deficiency caused marked reduction in Let-7g, SIRT1, eNOS, catalase and SOD-1 mRNA levels, and elevated miR-34a synthesis in mouse endothelial cells. These findings indicate that endogenous kallistatin through novel mechanisms protects against endothelial senescence by modulating Let-7g-mediated miR-34a-SIRT1-eNOS pathway.

Abstract
Caveolin-1 (CAV1) is the scaffold protein of caveolae, which are minute invaginations of the cell membrane that are involved in endocytosis, cell signaling, and endothelial-mediated inflammation. CAV1 has also been reported to have a dual role as either a tumor suppressor or tumor promoter, depending on the type of cancer. Inflammation is an important player in tumor progression, but the role of caveolin-1 in generating an inflammatory milieu remains poorly characterized. We used a caveolin-1-knockout (CAV1-/-) mouse model to assess the inflammatory status via the quantification of the pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokine levels, as well as the ability of circulating lymphocytes to respond to nonspecific stimuli by producing cytokines. Here, we report that the CAV1-/- mice were characterized by a low-grade systemic proinflammatory status, with a moderate increase in the IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-12p70 levels. CAV1-/- circulating lymphocytes were more prone to cytokine production upon nonspecific stimulation than the wild-type lymphocytes. These results show that CAV1 involvement in cell homeostasis is more complex than previously revealed, as it plays a role in the inflammatory process. These findings indicate that the CAV1-/- mouse model could prove to be a useful tool for inflammation-related studies.

Abstract
Mitochondrial proteases ensure mitochondrial integrity and function after oxidative stress by providing mitochondrial protein quality control. However, the molecular mechanisms that regulate this basic biological function in eukaryotic cells remain largely unknown. Caveolin-1 is a scaffolding protein involved in signal transduction. We find that AFG3L2, a m-AAA type of mitochondrial protease, is a novel caveolin-1-interacting protein in vitro. We show that oxidative stress promotes the translocation of both caveolin-1 and AFG3L2 to mitochondria, enhances the interaction of caveolin-1 with AFG3L2 in mitochondria and stimulates mitochondrial protease activity in wild-type fibroblasts. Localization of AFG3L2 to mitochondria after oxidative stress is inhibited in fibroblasts lacking caveolin-1, which results in impaired mitochondrial protein quality control, an oxidative phosphorylation to aerobic glycolysis switch and reduced ATP production. Mechanistically, we demonstrate that a lack of caveolin-1 does not alter either mitochondrial number or morphology but leads to the cytoplasmic and proteasome-dependent degradation of complexes I, III, IV and V upon oxidant stimulation. Restoration of mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes in caveolin-1 null fibroblasts reverts the enhanced glycolysis observed in these cells. Expression of a mutant form of AFG3L2, which has reduced affinity for caveolin-1, fails to localize to mitochondria and promotes degradation of complex IV after oxidative stress. Thus, caveolin-1 maintains mitochondrial integrity and function when cells are challenged with free radicals by promoting the mitochondrial localization of m-AAA protease and its quality control functions.

Abstract
Localization of a regulator of RhoGTPases (ARHGAP18) is important for microtubule stability and endothelial cell function. The localization is demonstrated by advanced imaging and biochemical techniques. RhoGTPases are important regulators of the cell cytoskeleton, controlling cell shape, migration and proliferation. Previously we showed that ARHGAP18 in endothelial cells is important in cell junctions. Here we show, using structured illumination microscopy (SIM), ground-state depletion (GSD), and total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy (TIRF) that a proportion of ARHGAP18 localizes to microtubules in endothelial cells, as well as in nonendothelial cells, an association confirmed biochemically. In endothelial cells, some ARHGAP18 puncta also colocalized to Weibel–Palade bodies on the microtubules. Depletion of ARHGAP18 by small interfering RNA or analysis of endothelial cells isolated from ARHGAP18-knockout mice showed microtubule destabilization, as evidenced by altered morphology and decreased acetylated α-tubulin and glu-tubulin. The destabilization was rescued by inhibition of ROCK and histone deacetylase 6 but not by a GAP-mutant form of ARHGAP18. Depletion of ARHGAP18 resulted in a failure to secrete endothelin-1 and a reduction in neutrophil transmigration, both known to be microtubule dependent. Thrombin, a critical regulator of the Rho-mediated barrier function of endothelial cells through microtubule destabilization, enhanced the plasma membrane–bound fraction of ARHGAP18. Thus, in endothelial cells, ARHGAP18 may act as a significant regulator of vascular homeostasis.

Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic age-related lung disease with high mortality that is characterized by abnormal scarring of the lung parenchyma. There has been a recent attempt to define the age-associated changes predisposing individuals to develop IPF. Age-related perturbations that are increasingly found in epithelial cells and fibroblasts from IPF lungs compared with age-matched cells from normal lungs include defective autophagy, telomere attrition, altered proteostasis, and cell senescence. These divergent processes seem to converge in mitochondrial dysfunction and metabolic distress, which potentiate maladaptation to stress and susceptibility to age-related diseases such as IPF. Therapeutic approaches that target aging processes may be beneficial for halting the progression of disease and improving quality of life in IPF patients.

Abstract
Caveolin-1 (Cav-1) is a trans-membrane protein that is a major component of the caveolae structure on the plasma membrane. Cav-1 is involved in the regulation of various cellular processes, including cell growth, differentiation, endocytosis, and in particular it has been implied in cellular senescence. Here we review current knowledge about Cav-1 in cellular signaling and discuss the role of Cav-1 in aging-related diseases.

Abstract
The low sensitivity of C4d immunoreactivity in peritubular capillaries (PTCs) hinders its use in the diagnosis of chronic active antibody-mediated rejection (CAAMR). C4d-negative CAAMR was defined in the 2013 Banff classification, which included the expression of endothelial-associated transcripts (ENDATs). We previously showed that the ENDAT caveolin-1 (CAV-1) is a distinct feature of CAAMR. In this study, we investigated the prognostic value of CAV-1 immunoreactivity in PTCs in kidney transplant patients. Ninety-eight kidney transplant recipients were included in this study. The prognostic value of CAV-1 immunoreactivity in PTCs was evaluated by double immunostaining for CAV-1 and pathologische Anatomie Leiden endothelium (PAL-E, a PTC marker) in the PTCs of kidney allograft biopsy samples. The patients were divided into two groups: CAV-1/PAL-E<50% and CAV-1/PAL-E≥50%. Kaplan-Meier curves showed that CAV-1/PAL-E≥50% patients had a significantly worse prognosis than that of CAV-1/PAL-E<50% patients (log-rank; P<.001). C4d staining of PTCs was not associated with the development of graft failure (log-rank; P=.345), whereas in a multivariate Cox regression analysis, CAV-1 immunoreactivity in PTCs was independently associated with graft failure (hazard ratio: 11.1; P=.0324). CAV-1 immunoreactivity in PTCs may serve as a prognostic marker for kidney allograft survival.

Abstract
Recent studies have demonstrated that the accumulation of senescent endothelial cells may be the primary cause of cardiovascular diseases. Because of their multifunctional properties, endothelial cells actively take part in stimulating the immune system and inflammation. In addition, ageing is characterized by the progressive deterioration of immune cells and a decline in the activation of the immune response. This results in a loss of the primary function of the immune system, which is eliminating damaged/senescent cells and neutralizing potential sources of harmful inflammatory reactions. In this review, we discuss cellular senescence and the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) of endothelial cells and summarize the link between endothelial cells and immunosenescence. We describe the possibility that age-related changes in Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and microRNAs can affect the phenotypes of senescent endothelial cells and immune cells via a negative feedback loop aimed at restraining the excessive pro-inflammatory response. This review also addresses the following questions: how do senescent endothelial cells influence ageing or age-related changes in the inflammatory burden; what is the connection between ECs and immunosenescence, and what are the crucial hypothetical pathways linking endothelial cells and the immune system during ageing.

Abstract
To date two main aging vascular lesions have been reported in elderly human retinas: acellular capillaries and microaneurysms. However, their exact mechanism of formation remains unclear. Using high resolution microscopy techniques we revise cellular alterations observed in aged human retinal vessels, such as lipofuscin accumulation, caveolae malfunction, blood basement membrane disruption and enhanced apoptosis that could trigger the development of these aging vascular lesions. Moreover, we have generated a set of original images comparing retinal vasculature between middle and old aged healthy humans to show in a comprehensive manner the main structural and ultrastructural alterations occurred during age in retinal blood vessels.
