Cellular senescence increases with aging and results in secretion of pro-inflammatory factors that induce local and systemic tissue dysfunction. We conducted the first preclinical trial in a relevant middle-aged nonhuman primate (NHP) model to allow estimation of the main translatable effects of the senolytic combination dasatinib (D) and quercetin (Q), with and without caloric restriction (CR). A multi-systemic survey of age-related changes, including those on immune cells, adipose tissue, the microbiome, and biomarkers of systemic organ and metabolic health are reported. Age-, weight-, sex-, and glycemic control-matched NHPs (D + Q, n = 9; vehicle [VEH] n = 7) received two consecutive days of D + Q (5 mg/kg + 50 mg/kg) monthly for 6 months, where in month six, a 10% CR was implemented in both D + Q and VEH NHPs to induce equal weight reductions. D + Q reduced senescence marker gene expressions in adipose tissue and circulating PAI-1 and MMP-9. Improvements were observed in immune cell types with significant anti-inflammatory shifts and reductions in microbial translocation biomarkers, despite stable microbiomes. Blood urea nitrogen showed robust improvements with D + Q. CR resulted in significant positive body composition changes in both groups with further improvement in immune cell profiles and decreased GDF15 (p = 0.05), and the interaction of D + Q and CR dramatically reduced glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (p = 0.03). This work indicates that 6 months of intermittent D + Q exposure is safe and may combat inflammaging via immune benefits and improved intestinal barrier function. We also saw renal benefits, and with CR, improved metabolic health. These data are intended to provide direction for the design of larger controlled intervention trials in older patients.
细胞衰老随着年龄的增长而增加,并导致促炎因子的分泌,从而导致局部和全身组织功能障碍。我们在相关的中年非人类灵长类动物(NHP)模型中进行了首次临床前试验,以便估计达沙替尼(D)和槲皮素(Q)联合使用的主要可转化作用,以及是否进行热量限制(CR)。报告了一项多系统的年龄相关性变化调查,包括免疫细胞、脂肪组织、微生物组以及全身器官和代谢健康的生物标志物。年龄、体重、性别和血糖控制匹配的 NHP(D + Q,n = 9;载体[VEH],n = 7)接受了两个月的 D + Q(5 mg/kg + 50 mg/kg)每月一次,共 6 个月,在第六个月,D + Q 和 VEH NHP 都实施了 10%的 CR,以诱导同等的体重减轻。D + Q 降低了脂肪组织和循环 PAI-1 和 MMP-9 中的衰老标志物基因表达。观察到免疫细胞类型的改善,具有明显的抗炎转变和微生物易位生物标志物减少,尽管微生物组稳定。D + Q 使血尿素氮显著改善。CR 导致两组的身体成分发生显著的积极变化,免疫细胞谱进一步改善,GDF15 减少(p = 0.05),D + Q 和 CR 的相互作用显著降低了糖化血红蛋白 A1c(p = 0.03)。这项工作表明,间歇性暴露于 6 个月的 D + Q 是安全的,并且可以通过免疫益处和改善肠道屏障功能来对抗炎症老化。我们还观察到肾脏益处,以及 CR,改善代谢健康。这些数据旨在为老年患者更大规模的对照干预试验设计提供方向。
