Abstract

Aging is the major risk factor in the development of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), including hypertension, atherosclerosis, and myocardial infarction. Oxidative stress caused by overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and/or by reduced expression of antioxidant enzymes is a major contributor to the progression of vascular senescence, pathologic remodeling of the vascular wall, and disease. Both oxidative stress and inflammation promote the development of senescence, a process by which cells stop proliferating and become dysfunctional. This review focuses on the role of the mitochondria and the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidases Nox1 and Nox4 in vascular senescence, and their contribution to the development of atherosclerosis. Recent findings are reviewed, supporting a critical role of the mitochondrial regulator peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) coactivator-1α (PGC-1α), the inflammatory gene nuclear factor κB (NF-κB), zinc, the zinc transporters (ZnTs) ZnT3 and ZnT10, and angiotensin II (Ang II) in mitochondrial function, and their role in telomere stability, which provides new mechanistic insights into a previously proposed unified theory of aging.

Figures

Figure 1 Molecular pathways involved in senescence. Persistent DNA damage response (DDR) activates the ATM/p53/p21 pathway to stop the cell cycle, while preventing lysosomal acidification that inhibits autophagy, and activating NF-κB that induces senescence associated secretory phenotype (SASP). mTOR and reactive oxygen species (ROS) can induce senescence by DDR-independent mechanisms through the p38MAPK/NF-κB/SASP pathway. mTOR can also inhibit autophagy by a NF-κB-independent mechanism to induce senescence. Altogether, cell cycle arrest, reduced autophagy, and secretion of SASP components mediate vascular dysfunction and accelerated aging.

Figure 2 The role of Ang II in vascular senescence. Ang II binding to AT1R activates signal transduction pathways, including phosphorylation of p38MAPK, a driver of the SASP, and Akt, a negative regulator of PGC-1α function. Akt phosphorylates PGC-1α, increasing its acetylation, which reduces the binding of PGC-1α/FoxO1 (forkhead box O 1) to catalase and Sirt1(silence information regulator 2-like 1) promoters, reducing the expression of these target genes. Reduced Sirt1 expression further increases PGC-1α and FoxO1 acetylation, creating a negative feedback loop. Ang II also increases cytosolic zinc levels, leading to mitochondrial zinc accumulation that causes mitochondrial dysfunction and mitochondrial ROS (MitoROS) production that mediates NF-κB activation and Nox1 expression. NF-κB drives the SASP, and also mediates Nox4 upregulation and oxidative stress. Sirt1 inhibits senescence by deacetylating NF-κB, PGC-1α and FoxO1, thus improving mitochondrial function and the antioxidant capacity, while zinc induces senescence by causing mitochondrial dysfunction, increasing Nox1 and reducing catalase expression. SASP stimulates senescence in bystander cells.

Figure 3 PGC-1α and Nox1 in telomere and mitochondrial dysfunction during aging. Telomere dysfunction induces mitochondrial dysfunction through the p53-dependent downregulation of PGC-1α. Dysfunctional mitochondria produce mitochondrial ROS (MitoROS) that activates NF-κB-dependent upregulation of Nox1, causing telomere attrition and replicative senescence. Ang II induces senescence by inhibiting PGC-1α function, while zinc overload causes senescence by increasing MitoROS and Nox1 expression. In conditions of stress, Nox4 localizes in the mitochondria, also contributing to MitoROS production.

Figure 4 Proposed role of Nox1 and Nox4 in senescence. Hydrogen peroxide associated with basal Nox4 activity in physiological conditions protects from senescence, while overproduction of hydrogen peroxide during aging and stress conditions may promote senescence. Binding of zinc to the E-loop of Nox4 or oxidation of cysteine residues in the E-loop in response to stress conditions by overexpression of Nox1 could change the function of Nox4. Altered production of superoxide by Nox4 could mediate senescence in conditions of stress. Red arrows indicate increased expression.

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.
