  • Transgenic animals capable of being induced to delete senescent cells
    Patent number: 9968076
    Abstract: This document provides a transgenic mouse for studying the role of senescent cells in an age-related phenotype. A recombinant polypeptide is expressed in senescent cells under control of a p16INK4a promoter. The polypeptide can be triggered to directly induce cell death in senescent cells. As a result, progression of one or more age-related phenotypes is delayed in the mouse. An example is the INK-ATTAC mouse which also expresses a marker polypeptide in senescent cells.

  • TREATING ATHEROSCLEROSIS BY REMOVING SENESCENT FOAM CELL MACROPHAGES FROM ATHEROSCLEROTIC PLAQUES
    Publication number: 20180104222
    Abstract: Foamy macrophages with senescence markers accumulate in the subendothelial space at the onset of atherosclerosis where they drive pathology by increasing expression of key atherogenic and inflammatory cytokines and chemokines. In advanced lesions, senescent cells promote features of plaque instability, including elastic fiber degradation and fibrous cap thinning, by heightening metalloprotease production. This invention provides methods and materials for treating arthritis by removing senescent cells in or around atherosclerotic plaques, thereby stabilizing the plaques, inhibiting rupture of the plaques and pathological sequelae that manifest as coronary artery disease.
