Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for selectively killing senescent cells, wherein the selective killing of senescent cells delays aging and treats age-related disorders.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of treating bone marrow injury in a subject who has not been administered cancer therapy, the method comprising contacting cells in the subject's bone marrow with a therapeutically effective amount of a compound that inhibits the biological activity of Bcl-xL and Bcl-2 protein that is present in p16 positive senescent cells in the bone marrow, wherein the compound is selected from GX15-070 (obatoclax), gossypol (AT-101), apogossypolone, TW37, TM-1206, ABT-737, ABT-263 (navitoclax), WHEI539, and combinations thereof, whereby the compound selectively removes the senescent cells in comparison with non-senescent cells in the subject's bone marrow, thereby delaying progression of the injury. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the LD 50 of the compound for non-senescent cells is greater than 10 times higher than the LD 50 for the senescent cells. 3. A method of treating bone marrow injury in a subject who does not have cancer, the method comprising contacting cells in the subject's bone marrow with a therapeutically effective amount of a compound, whereby the compound inhibits the biological activity of Bcl xL and Bcl-2 protein and selectively removes the senescent cells in comparison with non-senescent cells in the subject's bone marrow, thereby delaying progression of the injury, wherein the compound is selected from GX15-070 (obatoclax), gossypol (AT-101), apogossypolone, TW37, TM-1206, ABT-737, ABT-263 (navitoclax), WHEI539, and combinations thereof.
