Abstract

Senescence of skeletal muscle (SkM) has been a primary contributor to senior weakness and disability in recent years. The gradually declining SkM function associated with senescence has recently been connected to an imbalance between damage and repair. Macrophages (Mac) are involved in SkM aging, and different macrophage subgroups hold different biological functions. Through comprehensive single-cell transcriptomic analysis, we first compared the metabolic pathways and biological functions of different types of cells in young (Y) and old (O) mice SkM. Strikingly, the Mac population in mice SkM was also explored, and we identified a unique Mac subgroup in O SkM characterized by highly expressed SPP1 with strong senescence and adipogenesis features. Further work was carried out on the metabolic and biological processes for these Mac subgroups. Besides, we verified that the proportion of the SPP1+ Mac was increased significantly in the quadriceps tissues of O mice, and the senotherapeutic drug combination dasatinib + quercetin (D + Q) could dramatically reduce its proportion. Our study provides novel insight into the potential role of SPP1+ Mac in SkM, which may serve as a senotherapeutic target in SkM aging.

摘要

骨骼肌衰老(SkM)近年来已成为导致老年人虚弱和残疾的主要原因。与衰老相关的 SkM 功能逐渐下降,最近与损伤和修复之间的失衡有关。巨噬细胞(Mac)参与 SkM 衰老,不同的巨噬细胞亚群具有不同的生物学功能。通过全面的单细胞转录组分析,我们首次比较了年轻(Y)和年老(O)小鼠 SkM 中不同类型细胞的代谢途径和生物学功能。引人注目的是,我们还探索了小鼠 SkM 中的 Mac 群体,并鉴定了一种在 O SkM 中具有独特特征的 Mac 亚群,其特征是 SPP1 高度表达,具有强烈的衰老和脂肪生成特征。进一步对这些 Mac 亚群的代谢和生物学过程进行了研究。此外,我们验证了 O 型小鼠股四头肌组织中 SPP1+Mac 的比例显著增加,而 senotherapeutic 药物组合 dasatinib+quercetin(D+Q)可显著降低其比例。我们的研究为 SPP1+Mac 在 SkM 中的潜在作用提供了新的见解,它可能成为 SkM 衰老的 senotherapeutic 靶点。
