Although age-associated changes in kidney glomerular architecture have been
described in mice and man, the mechanisms are unknown. It is unclear if these
changes can be prevented or even reversed by systemic therapies administered at
advanced age. Using light microscopy and transmission electron microscopy, our
results showed glomerulosclerosis with injury to mitochondria in glomerular
epithelial cells in mice aged 26 months (equivalent to a 79-year-old human). To
test the hypothesis that reducing mitochondrial damage in late age would result
in lowered glomerulosclerosis, we administered the mitochondrial targeted
peptide, SS-31, to aged mice. Baseline (24-month-old) mice were randomized to
receive 8 weeks of SS-31, or saline, and killed at 26 months of age. SS-31
treatment improved age-related mitochondrial morphology and glomerulosclerosis.
Assessment of glomeruli revealed that SS-31 reduced senescence (p16,
senescence-associated-ß-Gal) and increased the density of parietal epithelial
cells. However, SS-31 treatment reduced markers of parietal epithelial cell
activation (Collagen IV, pERK1/2, and ?-smooth muscle actin). SS-31 did not
impact podocyte density, but it reduced markers of podocyte injury (desmin) and
improved cytoskeletal integrity (synaptopodin). This was accompanied by higher
glomerular endothelial cell density (CD31). Thus, despite initiating therapy in
late-age mice, a short course of SS-31 has protective benefits on glomerular
mitochondria, accompanied by temporal changes to the glomerular architecture.
This systemic pharmacological intervention in old-aged animals limits
glomerulosclerosis and senescence, reduces parietal epithelial cell activation,
and improves podocyte and endothelial cell integrity.
