Senolytic Update October 3rd 2019
What Are Senolytics? l iSenolytics are compounds that selectively destroy senescent cells.
Senescent cells accumulate with normal aging and:► Impede Organ Function► Create Chronic Inflammation► Emit Protein-Destroying Enzymes► Shorten Healthy Lifespan Removing Senescent Cells Confers Healthy Longevity
Normal Age Mouse Senolytic Treated Mouse Naturally occurring p16Ink4a-positive cells shorten healthy lifespan.” Update published in: Nature. 2016 Feb 11; 530(7589): 184–189.
Senolytics Extend Healthy Lifespan Improve frailty symptoms (gait, grip strength) Improve kidney/liver pathologic age scores Improve cardiac/arterial function Reduce tremors and urinary incontinence Decrease osteoporosis Increase exercise endurance Enhance coat color appearance Extend healthy lifespanDasatinib + Quercetin Does anyone NOT want these benefits?Preclinical (rodent) model shows quercetin + dasatinibZhu, Yi, Tamara Tchkonia, Tamar Pirtskhalava, Adam C.

“We are encouraged by the safety and tolerability observed to date in this first study of a senolytic drug in patients with osteoarthritis. It is that experience in patients that gives us the confidence to initiate Part B at the highest evaluated dose.” UNITY Biotechnology, Inc. is a company developing therapeutics to extend healthspan by slowing, halting or reversing diseases of aging using a patented senolytic compound.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2018 Scientific Discovery and the Future of MedicineJournal of the American Medical Association“Interventions aimed at eliminating those senescent cells, commonly called senolytic, have also been shown to improve health and extend life in various mouse disease models.“If senolytics are shown to be safe and effective in humans, they could transform care of older adults and patients with multiple chronic diseases.”JAMA. Published online September 17, 2018. doi:10.1001/jama.2018.12440 Aging, Cell Senescence, and Chronic Disease: Emerging Therapeutic Strategies “…many human pathologic conditions are associated with the presence of senescent cells.”
July 9, 2018Magazine“It’s looking like very old mice are able to substantially improve their health span, reduce or delay age-related diseases and increase their survival.”They calculated that if only one in 7,000 to 15,000 cells is senescent, then age-related problems in physical function started to appear in the mice.Like a contagion, senescent cells seem to pass on their accelerated aging abilities to healthy cells by releasing a number of factors that can cause tissues like muscle to deteriorate.Mice given senescent cells and the senolytic compounds lived 36% longer than animals with senescent cell transplants who were not given the drugs.How Scientists Are Testing Cancer Drugs to Slow Down Aginghttps://time.com/5333752/aging-drugs/
This drug cocktail reduced signs of age-related diseases and extended life in mice and human cells Senolytic Delay May = Death “Group led by Mayo Clinic anti-aging researcher James Kirkland not only offers a clear look at the power of senescent cells to drive the aging process, but also a pharmaceutical cocktail that, in mice at least, can slow and even reverse it. Compared to mice who aged normally, those who started getting the dasatinib-quercetin cocktail at an age equivalent to 75 to 90 years in humans ended up living roughly 36% longer, and with better physical function.In human cells in a test tube and in mice bearing human senescent cells, the dasatinib-quercetin cocktail showed equally promising results, targeting senescent cells while leaving other cells intact.Aging…is beginning to look more and more like a disease — and a treatable one at that.Scientists Are Testing Cancer Drugs to Slow Down Aging July 10, 2019
Journal of the American Medical Association“Aging, Cell Senescence, and Chronic Disease: Emerging Therapeutic Strategies.” JAMA Online-Sept 17 2018“…patients should be advised not to self-medicate with senolytic agents or other drugs that target fundamental aging processes in the expectation that conditions alleviated in mice will be alleviated in people. Senolytics represent a new potential treatment approach, and the adverse effects of these therapies remain to be elucidated.” Experts Tell Us to Wait…Scientific Discovery and the Future of Medicine

8 Million Americans Suffer Chronic Heart Failure Clinical trial on existing senolytic compounds urgently needed!Senescence involving cardiomyocytes (i.e. cardiac muscle cells) appears to be associated with age-linked fibrosis and hypertrophy of the heart. Pharmacologic and genetic removal of p16-positive (senescent) cells in mice appears to ameliorate (or improve) the level of age-induced fibrosis and hypertrophy in senescent cardiac muscle cells, and may support regeneration of cardiomyocytes…What we learned from the first 2019 published study:
“Declining Risk of Sudden Death in Heart Failure.\ New England Journal of Medicine; 2017;377(1):41-51. Clinical trials spanning 1995 to 2014 show:44% decline of sudden death in heart failure patientsSharp Decline in Heart Failure Death Rates Leading cause of age-related death markedly reduced in just 19 years!

“Aged‐senescent cells contribute to impaired heart regeneration.” Aging Cell; June 2019Senescent Cells Thwart Progenitor Cell RegenerationWhen senolytics (dasatinib + quercetin) were administered in vivo to elderly mice, cardiac progenitor cells reactivated and began remodeling the aged hearts. Senescent progenitor cardiac cells are unable to replicate, differentiate, regenerate or restore cardiac function following transplantation into infarcted mouse heart.
“Senescent cells – also known as zombie cells – form in the heart during aging and lead to heart failure.”“Newcastle scientists, in collaboration with researchers in the Mayo Clinic… not only discovered how this process takes place in the heart but also how it can be reversed or treated.”Newcastle University scientists are killing zombie cells to reverse age-related damage in the heart Feb. 8, 2019British Heart Foundationhttps://www.bhf.org.uk/what-we-do/news-from-the-bhf/news-archive/2019/february/newcastle-university-scientists-are-killing-zombie-cells-to-reverse-age-related-damage-in-the-heart

DOI: 10.15252/embj.2018100492Feb. 11, 2019\We saw that removing senescent cardiomyocytes from the hearts of aged mice, both genetically and using drugs, was able to restore cardiac health – essentially removing the damage caused by aging.This data provides critical support for the potential of using medicines to kill zombie cells. If this is validated through clinical trials it would provide us with a new way of treating cardiac diseases.\

Publication Summary of Results Take home message1. Inhibition of spontaneous formation of lung tumors and rhabdomyosarcomas in A/J mice by black and green teaCarcinogenesis. 1998;19:501–507. Mice spontaneously developing rhabdomyosarcoma and lung cancer that were treated with black (2%) and green (1%) tea infusions for 52 weeks had 45% and 34% lower lung tumor incidence compared to the control group that was not treated with black and green tea. Furthermore, mice receiving black tea also had a profound 58% decrease in rhabdomyosarcoma incidence vs. the untreated group.Cancer develops in response to a variety of “stress-inducing” signals. Development and progression of various cancers are supported by different mechanisms. However, regardless of the type of cancer, the stress that triggers it and/or the mechanism that drives its progression, natural polyphenols from black and green tea were demonstrated to be a powerful suppressant of carcinogenesis in a variety of distinct animal models of cancer. 2. Inhibition of intestinal tumorigenesis in Apcmin/+ mice by (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate, the major catechin in green teaCancer Res. 2005;65:10623–10631. Administration of Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) at doses of 0.08% or 0.16% in drinking fluid decreased intestinal cancer formation in mice prone to developing this type of cancer by 37% or 47%, respectively.3. Topical applications of caffeine or (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) inhibit carcinogenesis and selectively increase apoptosis in UVB-induced skin tumors in miceProc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2002;99:12455–12460.Topical applications of EGCG (6.5 mM applied 5 days a week for 18 weeks) in a hairless mice highly prone to developing skin cancer after exposure to UVB decreased the number of nonmalignant and malignant tumors by 55% and 66%, respectively. EGCG increased apoptosis of the squamous cell carcinomas but had no effect on nontumor areas of the skin.4. Growth inhibition and regression of human prostate and breast tumors in athymic mice by tea epigallocatechin gallate Cancer Lett. 1995;96:239–243. Administration of EGCG into nude mice developing prostate and breast cancers in response to inoculation with human prostate cancer and human breast cancer cells inhibited tumor growth.5. Inhibition of prostate carcinogenesis in TRAMP mice by oral infusion of green tea polyphenolsProc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2001;98:10350–10355. A human achievable dose of green tea (equivalent to six cups of green tea/day) administered orally was demonstrated to delay the onset as well as reduce the tumor burden in mice that spontaneously develop prostate cancer.Natural polyphenols from black and green tea reduce incidence of several types of cancers in animal models

Chemoprevention of human prostate cancer by oral administration of green tea catechins in volunteers with high-grade prostate intraepithelial neoplasia: a preliminary report from a one-year proof-of-principle studyCancer Res. 2006;66(2):1234–1240.Daily consumption of 600 mg/day of green tea catechins for 12 months reduced prostate cancer incidence 10-fold in men initially diagnosed with high-grade prostate intraepithelial neoplasia that often progresses to prostate cancer.Initial human studies have provided unconvincing results for cancer preventive activities of green and black tea polyphenols. The activities of these natural polyphenols in the initial clinical trials were not as strong as polyphenol anti-cancer effects observed in animal models. Use of improved formulations that included higher polyphenol doses, increased purity and better bioavailability yielded encouraging results which suggest that green and black tea polyphenols are indeed cancer preventive in humans. 7. Green tea extracts for the prevention of metachronous colorectal adenomas: a pilot study.Cancer Epidemiol Biomark Prev. 2008;17:3020–3025. Supplementation with 2.5 g of green tea extract daily for 12 months resulted in 50% reduction in the metachronous colorectal adenoma burden.8. Phase 2 trial of daily, oral Polyphenon E in patients with asymptomatic, Rai stage 0 to II chronic lymphocytic leukemia.Cancer. 2013;119(2):363–370. Polyphenon E with a standardized dose of EGCG (2000 mg per dose) was administered twice daily for 6 months to patients with early stage chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). It was demonstrated that oral EGCG in the Polyphenon E preparation was well tolerated. Furthermore, CLL patients experienced a significant (up to 50%) reduction in palpable lymphadenopathy and approximately 20% decrease in the absolute lymphocyte count. 9. Green tea consumption and hematologic malignancies in Japan: the Ohsaki studyAm J Epidemiol. 2009;170(6):730–738. A significant inverse association between green tea consumption and the risk of hematologic malignancies was found in a large population-based cohort of Japanese. Those who consumed >5 cups/day of green tea had a 42% lower risk of hematologic malignancies and a 48% lower risk of lymphoid neoplasms relative to study participants who consumed less than 1 cup/day of green tea.
