Abstract

Cellular senescence is an intricate and multifactorial phenomenon, which is characterized by an irreversible cellular growth arrest, it is caused in response to irretrievably DNA damage, telomere shorting, activation of oncogene, and oxidative stress. Human diploid fibroblasts are a well-established experimental model for premature senescence-related studies, and exposure of fibroblasts to H2O2 is widely used as a SIPS model. Recently, it has been reported many studies of CoQ10 as to anti-aging effects, however the effect of CoQ10 on H2O2-induced SIPS model of human skin fibroblasts has not been understood. So that, we investigated that human skin fibroblasts were used to investigate the prevention effect of CoQ10 against H2O2-induced SIPS model. We created SIPS model fibroblasts with treatment of 100 μM H2O2 for 2 h. In this study, CoQ10 also increased cell viability and mRNA levels of type I, IV collagen and protein level of type I collagen. Moreover, it is shown that CoQ10 suppressed oxidative stress, degradation of collagen by increasing MMP expression, and decreasing senescence-associated phenotypes (e.g. SA-βgal positive staining and SASP) for preventing skin aging via H2O2-induced SIPS model. These results suggested that CoQ10 has possibility to be contributory for extension of healthy life expectancy in Japan.

  • In vitro studies on human skin fibroblasts exposed to H2O2 have shown that cell treatment with CoQ10 significantly reduced OS, decreased SA-β gal positive cells and restored collagen type I protein and senescence-associated MMP production, therefore delaying skin aging.

    “In vitro studies conducted on human skin fibroblasts exposed to H2O2 have shown that cell treatment with CoQ10 significantly reduced OS, decreased the amount of SA-β gal positive cells and restored collagen type I protein and the senescence-associated matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) production, therefore delaying skin aging [63].”
  • Coenzyme Q10, SkQ1, mitoquinone and methylene blue are among mitochondria targeted antioxidants exerting a role in counteracting OS-induced senescence, with CoQ10 being the most studied.

    “Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), SkQ1 (a.k.a. visomitin), mitoquinone (MitoQ) and methylene blue are among the mitochondria targeted antioxidants exerting a role in counteracting OS-induced senescence, with CoQ10 being the most studied (Table 1 and Table 2) [57,58,59,60,61,62,63,64,65,66,67,68,69,70,71,72,73,74,75,76,77,78,79,80,81,82].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
