Article Title: Dasatinib and quercetin senolytic treatment delays early onset intervertebral disc degeneration in SM/J mice

doi: 10.1038/s41413-026-00526-4

Figure Lengend Snippet: Caudal discs of SM/J mice evidence early cellular senescence and a senescence signature during degeneration. At four weeks of age, SM/J mice have increase abundance of senescence markers in their caudal discs, evidenced by ( a–a” ) p19 and ( b–b” ) p21 abundance relative to age-matched B6J discs. c Microarray analysis of 4-week-old and 17-week-old SM/J NP and AF shows distinct clustering in both tissues between the two timepoints. Thematic analysis in CompBio of enriched concepts in 17-week-old NP tissues, compared to 4-week-old tissues shows: ( d’ ) Beta-galactoside Alpha-2,3-sialytransferase Activity is an upregulated theme in the NP; ( e ) VEGF-A Complex is an upregulated theme in the AF; ( f ) CDK1 Phosphorylates Condensin is a downregulated theme in the NP; and ( g ) RUNX2 Regulates Osteoblast Differentiation is a downregulated theme in the AF. h Venn Diagram showing the gene-level overlap between SM/J tissue profiles and the SenMayo geneset, with the overlapping genes shown in ( i ). Data are shown as mean ± SD. Significance was determined using an unpaired t -test or Mann-Whitney test, as appropriate. n C57BL/6J 4w = 8; n SM/J 4w = 5; n SM/J 17w = 6

Article Snippet: Tissue sections were then blocked in 2%–10% normal serum in PBS-T, and incubated with antibodies against p19 (1:100, Novus NB200-106), p21 (1:200, Novus NB100-1941), collagen I (1:100, Abcam ab34710), aggrecan (1:50; Millipore; AB1031), chondroitin sulfate (1:300, Abcam ab11570), IL-1b (1:100, Novus NB600-633), IL-6 (1:50, Novus NB600-1131), TGFb (1:100; Abcam; ab92486), collagen X (1:500, Abcam ab58632), CA3 (1:150, Santa Cruz), and GLUT-1 (1:200, Abcam, ab40084).

Article Title: Dasatinib and quercetin senolytic treatment delays early onset intervertebral disc degeneration in SM/J mice

doi: 10.1038/s41413-026-00526-4

Figure Lengend Snippet: DQ reduces caudal disc degeneration and senescence in SM/J mice. a , b Schematic showing study design: intraperitoneal injections of DQ, Nav., or a Vehicle control were administered once every week to mice starting at 4 weeks of age and ending at 17 weeks of age. a’ –a’” SafraninO/Fast Green/Hematoxylin staining evaluated with modified Thompson scoring shows DQ improves disc degeneration in SM/J mice. Images reflect the range of degenerative outcomes across treatment cohorts. b’ –b” Safranin/Fast Green/Hematoxylin staining evaluated with modified Thompson scoring shows Nav. does not improve disc degeneration in SM/J mice. Quantitative immunohistochemistry shows reduced ( c–c” ) p19 (NP and AF) and ( d–d” ) p21 (AF only) in DQ-treated SM/J discs. SASP markers of ( e–e” ) TGF β, ( f–f” ) IL-6, ( g–g” ) MMP13, and ( h–h” ) IL-1β indicate DQ mediates SASP in SM/J discs. Data are shown as mean ± SD. Significance was determined using an unpaired t -test or Mann-Whitney test, as appropriate. Distribution statistics were determined using a χ 2 test. 17 weeks old ( n DQ = 11, 6 females + 5 males; n CT = 13, 6 females + 7 males; n Nav. = 7, n Veh. = 7)
