Targeting Hyperoxia-Induced Cellular Senescence in Developing Human Airway Cells: Senomorphics Versus Senolytics Versus Antioxidants
Supplemental oxygen (hyperoxia), often provided to premature infants, can disrupt lung growth and contribute to development of neonatal and pediatric lung diseases, necessitating understanding of underlying mechanisms. We previously showed that even moderate hyperoxia (< 60% O(2)) induces detrimental cellular senescence in 18-22 weeks human fetal airway smooth muscle (fASM), a key cell type in airway contractility and remodeling. In this study, we examined the ability of senotherapeutics...
Epigenetic age acceleration measures and chemotoxicity in older adults with early breast cancer
Among older adults with early breast cancer, the risk of chemotoxicity can vary widely despite similar chronological age. Here, we evaluated whether epigenetic indicators of biological age can stratify the risk of chemotoxicity in this population. In a prospective study of 394 women age > 65 with stage I-III breast cancer treated with neo/adjuvant chemotherapy, we analyzed peripheral blood DNA methylation patterns to estimate epigenetic age acceleration (EAA) before chemotherapy. We tested five...
Age- and cognitive load-related variability and entropy of gait: integrating coefficient of variation, median absolute deviation, and permutation entropy of spatiotemporal parameters into the Semmelweis Study gait assessment framework
Aging profoundly alters the neuromotor and cognitive systems that support gait control, leading to increased variability and instability that predict functional decline and dementia risk. In this pilot study, conducted to inform the design of the Semmelweis Study gait assessment pipeline, we examined how aging and cognitive load influence the magnitude and temporal organization of gait fluctuations. The Semmelweis Study is a large, prospective workplace cohort at Semmelweis University designed...
Plasma pTau181 is associated with subjective cognitive concerns but not objective cognitive decline or structural brain integrity measures in midlife
Although plasma pTau181 has been shown to accurately discriminate patients with Alzheimer's disease from healthy older adults, there are few studies of plasma biomarkers among middle-aged populations. Given the potential utility of plasma AD biomarkers such as pTau181 in screening for disease risk, examining pTau181 in a middle-aged cohort without AD is important for future implementation. The objectives of this study were to characterise plasma pTau181 in a middle-aged birth cohort aged 45...
Senolytic treatment with dasatinib and quercetin selectively improves cardiac autonomic balance in obesity
Chronic sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) to end organs plays a crucial role in the pathophysiology of obesity-induced hypertension. Oxidative stress and neuroinflammation in the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM), a key brainstem region regulating sympathetic outflow, have been implicated in the sympathetic overactivity in obesity. However, the upstream mechanisms driving RVLM neuroinflammation remain unknown. We hypothesized that obesity induces cellular senescence, a stress response...
Integrated transcriptomic profiling combined with in vitro validation reveals the involvement of TMEM140 in the link between periodontitis and brain aging
CONCLUSION: Through integrated transcriptomic analysis together with in vitro experimental validation, this study indicates that TMEM140 may be a candidate bridge molecule connecting PD and AD comorbidity. TMEM140 may participate in shaping the peripheral-central immunosenescence network and contribute to the cross-system transmission of inflammatory signaling.
Scientists discover a new way to prevent gum disease without killing good bacteria
Scientists have uncovered a surprising way to influence the bacteria living in our mouths — not by killing them, but by interrupting how they “talk” to each other. Researchers found that dental plaque bacteria use chemical signals to coordinate growth, and by blocking those signals, they were able to encourage healthier bacteria while reducing disease-linked microbes tied to gum disease. Even more intriguing, the bacterial conversations changed depending on oxygen levels above and below the gums, revealing an entirely new layer of complexity inside the mouth.
