Soluble guanylate cyclase activator BAY 54-6544 improves vasomotor function and survival in an accelerated ageing mouse model
AGING CELL(2022)
摘要
DNA damage is a causative factor in ageing of the vasculature and other organs. One of the most important vascular ageing features is reduced nitric oxide (NO)soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC)-cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) signaling. We hypothesized that the restoration of NO-sGC-cGMP signaling with an sGC activator (BAY 54-6544) may have beneficial effects on vascular ageing and premature death in DNA repair-defective mice undergoing accelerated ageing. Eight weeks of treatment with a non-pressor dosage of BAY 54-6544 restored the decreased in vivo microvascular cutaneous perfusion in progeroid Ercc1( increment /-) mice to the level of wild-type mice. In addition, BAY 54-6544 increased survival of Ercc1( increment /-) mice. In isolated Ercc1( increment /-) aorta, the decreased endothelium-independent vasodilation was restored after chronic BAY 54-6544 treatment. Senescence markers p16 and p21, and markers of inflammation, including Ccl2, Il6 in aorta and liver, and circulating IL-6 and TNF-alpha were increased in Ercc1( increment /-), which was lowered by the treatment. Expression of antioxidant genes, including Cyb5r3 and Nqo1, was favorably changed by chronic BAY 54-6544 treatment. In summary, BAY 54-6544 treatment improved the vascular function and survival rates in mice with accelerated ageing, which may have implication in prolonging health span in progeria and normal ageing.
