Article Title: Characterizing the SASP ‐Dependent Paracrine Spreading of Senescence Between Human Brain Cell Types

doi: 10.1111/acel.70673

Figure Lengend Snippet: Analysis of ligands and receptors in senescent and receiving cells. (A) Schematic depicting BulkSignalR pipeline which uses known ligand‐receptor interactions and affected downstream pathways to analyze their activation based on our bulk RNAseq data from DMSO and BrdU treated human cell lines (created with BioRender). (B) Venn diagram showing the number of receptors inferred from BulkSignalR to be activated across each of the five human cell types. Three receptors were identified in common between astrocytes (purple), endothelial cells (pink), and microglia (yellow) which were the cell types shown (Figure ) to be capable of receiving senescence signals and becoming SA β‐gal positive: CXCR7, KREMEN2, and GIPR. Only CXCR7 was expressed in the cell types capable of entering secondary senescence (astrocytes, endothelial cells, microglia) (Figure , Figure ). (C) TPM expression values of CXCR7 , its ligand CXCL12 , and DPP4 which cleaves and inactivates CXCL12 in DMSO (gray) and BrdU (red) treated cell lines ( n = 3 replicates). (D) Schematic of the four selected SASP inhibitors mechanisms of action: Bindarit is a CCL2 synthesis inhibitor which prevents p65 activation of the CCL2 gene at the promoter region, ISO‐1 is a MIF antagonist, ACT‐1004‐1239 is a CXCR7 antagonist, and Sitagliptin inhibits DPP4 preventing its action of cleaving and inactivating CXCL12 (created with BioRender). Data were analyzed by two‐way ANOVA with Tukey's multiple comparisons test (C). All graphs show mean with error bars depicting standard deviation (ns, p > 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001).

Article Snippet: Treatment with DPP4 inhibitor Sitagliptin (MedChemExpress, Catalog No. HY‐13749) was used to eliminate DPP4‐dependent cleavage and inactivation of CXCL12, which is a ligand of the CXCR7 receptor.

Article Title: HMGCR and Rosuvastatin Regulates GLP-1 Secretion and Expression—A Translational Study

doi: 10.1210/clinem/dgaf608

Figure Lengend Snippet: A to F, Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) performed after rosuvastatin (0.2 mg) treatment once daily for 27 days. A, Rosuvastatin-treated mice exhibit lower 60- and 90-minute plasma glucose levels, but B, area under the curve (AUC) was unaffected for glucose. C, Rosuvastatin-treated mice exhibit higher 5- and 60-minute plasma glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) levels, but D, AUC was unaffected for GLP-1. E, Rosuvastatin-treated mice had higher insulin secretion; AUC is presented in F. G, Long-term administration of rosuvastatin had no effect on the number of L cells in the jejunum. H to J, Long-term administration of rosuvastatin had no effect on intestinal messenger RNA expression of Gcg , Gip , Pyy , Pcsk1 , or Dpp4 in the H, duodenum; I, jejunum; or J, ileum. K, Long-term administration of rosuvastatin had no effect on β-cell mass. All parameters were assessed in 10 mice per group. Data are presented as box and whisker plots showing the minimum and maximum values (bottom and top error bars), the first (bottom of the box) and third (top of the box) quartiles and the median (middle of the box), or as a line graph showing the mean ± SEM. * P less than .05; ** P less than .01; and *** P less than .001 compared with vehicle-treated mice.
