Elimination of senescent cells (senolysis) was recently reported to improve normal and pathological changes associated with aging in mice. However, most senolytic agents inhibit antiapoptotic pathways, raising the possibility of off-target effects in normal tissues. Identification of alternative senolytic approaches is therefore warranted. Here we identify glycoprotein nonmetastatic melanoma protein B (GPNMB) as a molecular target for senolytic therapy. Analysis of transcriptome data from senescent vascular endothelial cells revealed that GPNMB was a molecule with a transmembrane domain that was enriched in senescent cells (seno-antigen). GPNMB expression was upregulated in vascular endothelial cells and/or leukocytes of patients and mice with atherosclerosis. Genetic ablation of Gpnmb-positive cells attenuated senescence in adipose tissue and improved systemic metabolic abnormalities in mice fed a high-fat diet, and reduced atherosclerotic burden in apolipoprotein E knockout mice on a high-fat diet. We then immunized mice against Gpnmb and found a reduction in Gpnmb-positive cells. Senolytic vaccination also improved normal and pathological phenotypes associated with aging, and extended the male lifespan of progeroid mice. Our results suggest that vaccination targeting seno-antigens could be a potential strategy for new senolytic therapies.
最近有报道称,清除衰老细胞(细胞衰老溶解)可改善与小鼠衰老相关的正常和病理变化。然而,大多数细胞衰老溶解剂会抑制抗凋亡途径,这增加了在正常组织中产生脱靶效应的可能性。因此,有必要确定其他细胞衰老溶解方法。在这里,我们确定糖蛋白非转移性黑色素瘤蛋白B(GPNMB)为细胞衰老溶解疗法的分子靶点。对衰老血管内皮细胞的转录组数据分析显示,GPNMB是一种具有跨膜结构域的分子,在衰老细胞(衰老抗原)中富集。在患有动脉粥样硬化的患者和小鼠的血管内皮细胞和/或白细胞中,GPNMB表达上调。对Gpnmb阳性细胞进行基因消融可减轻高脂饮食喂养小鼠脂肪组织中的衰老,并改善全身代谢异常,还可减轻高脂饮食喂养的载脂蛋白E基因敲除小鼠的动脉粥样硬化负担。然后,我们用Gpnmb对小鼠进行免疫,发现Gpnmb阳性细胞减少。细胞衰老溶解疫苗接种还改善了与衰老相关的正常和病理表型,并延长了早衰小鼠的雄性寿命。我们的结果表明,针对衰老抗原的疫苗接种可能是一种新的细胞衰老溶解疗法的潜在策略。
