PG - 111314 LID - S0047-6374(20)30110-X [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.mad.2020.111314 [doi] AB - Calcium (Ca(2+)) homeostasis is disrupted during aging in several cell types and this disruption leads to autophagy impairment. The mechanisms regarding Ca(2+), senescence, and autophagy need to be elucidated. Therefore, we hypothesized that cellular senescence can be improved by regulating Ca(2+) level and autophagy activity. We identified that hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2))-induced senescence was accompanied by Ca(2+) elevation, impairment of autophagic flux and increase of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) phosphorylation in VSMCs. The treatment of nifedipine dose-dependently suppressed H(2)O(2)-induced senescence by reducing Ca(2+) entry, autophagy impairment and mTOR signaling, and this suppression was found to be related to senescence-associated beta-galactosidase (SA-beta-gal) activity and the expressions of senescence marker protein 30 (SMP30), p53, and p21. Furthermore, H(2)O(2)-induced autophagy impairment also accelerated senescence and accumulations of ubiquitinated proteins. AMPK inhibition or transfection with AMPK siRNA showed that the anti-senescence effect of nifedipine involved AMPK activation. These results suggest nifedipine-inducted AMPK activation suppresses VSMC senescence by regulating autophagic flux and Ca(2+) levels. CI - Copyright (c) 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
