Investigating Cellular Senescence and Organ Aging in Breast Cancer Patients Undergoing Adjuvant Chemotherapy: A Novel Approach Utilizing Organ Specific Age Proteomics

Обзор

This study compares changes in P16INK4A expression and plasma proteomic signatures of specific organ age pre- and post-chemotherapy in women treated with adjuvant chemotherapy for early-stage breast cancer. It aims to determine if biological and accelerated immune aging, assessed using T cells from peripheral blood, represents aging in different organs. Patients receiving chemotherapy, especially adjuvant regimens that include anthracyclines and taxanes, often experience late development of cardiac toxicity, functional loss, and cognitive decline. Comparing baseline characteristics with organ aging before therapy might identify patients at the highest risk for chemotherapy complications. For example, this is clinically significant for patients whose therapy includes taxanes or other drugs known to cause peripheral neuropathy. Identifying aging in the neurological or vascular systems before treatment might lead to changes in regimens. Determining accelerated aging in specific organs allows for investigating interventions to mitigate organ damage. For instance, identifying patients at the highest risk of cardiac aging after treatment could lead to testing the effects of exercise, senolytics, and other strategies to reduce the risk of long-term heart disease.

Подробное описание

Chemotherapy has revolutionized cancer treatment, significantly improving relapse-free and survival rates for many cancers. However, these advances have come with a downside, and nowhere is this more evident than in childhood cancer. Despite the significant advances in the curability of most childhood cancers, up to 20% of patients die of comorbidity and secondary cancers by the age of 35 years.

Recent research shows that a plasma proteomic measure of protein abundance and expression can provide a" global" proteomic signature that accurately predicts chronologic age in the general population. It was shown that accelerated organ aging conferred a 20-50% higher mortality risk, and this was pronounced for those with accelerated cardiac and brain aging.

Previous studies have shown that p16INK4a, a robust biomarker of cell senescence measured in peripheral blood T cells, rises dramatically and likely irreversibly after adjuvant therapy for breast cancer. For anthracycline regimens, p16INK4a changes suggest 10 to 20 years of accelerated aging shortly after treatment. Additionally, in murine models, changes in P16INK4A are seen in all organs as mice age, but not all organs age at the same rate.
