Popis: Doxorubicin (DOXO) chemotherapy induces vascular dysfunction (aortic stiffening and endothelial dysfunction). Cellular senescence and the related increase in oxidative stress, notably mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS), are implicated in DOXO-induced vascular dysfunction. Hypothesis. Targeting cellular senescence, via administration of a senolytic (senescent cell clearing drug), following exposure to DOXO chemotherapy will prevent aortic stiffening and endothelial dysfunction by suppressing excess mtROS bioactivity and preserving nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability. Methods/Results Animals. Young (6 mo) male and female C57BL/6 mice received a single intraperitoneal injection of Sham (saline) or DOXO (10 mg/kg in Sham). One week later, mice received the vehicle (V; 10% EtOH, 30% PEG400, 60% Phosal 50 PG) or the senolytic ABT263 (ABT; 50 mg/kg/day in V) by oral gavage (1 week on; 2 weeks off; 1 week on). There were 4 groups/sex (Sham-V; Sham-ABT; DOXO-V; DOXO-ABT; n=10-12/group). There were no sex differences, so results were combined. Data are mean±SEM. Aortic Stiffness. Aortic stiffness (aortic pulse wave velocity [aPWV, cm/sec]) was assessed pre and post intervention. There were no group differences at baseline ( P=.63). After the dosing period, aPWV increased by 15% in the DOXO-V group (pre: 353±2 vs post: 414±6, P NIH K99 HL159241 and NIH R21 AG078408 This is the full abstract presented at the American Physiology Summit 2023 meeting and is only available in HTML format.
