{Abstract}: Prolonged or excessive oxidative stress can lead to premature cellular and body aging. Mannan-binding lectin (MBL) is synthesized by the liver and plays an important role in innate immunity, anti-inflammation, and anti-oxidation, and has a positive impact on health and longevity. To date, few studies investigated the role of MBL in attenuating oxidative stress-induced senescence. In this study, we evaluated the role of MBL in oxidative stress-induced premature aging and explored its underlying mechanism in C57BL/6 mice and mouse embryonic fibroblasts (NIH/3T3). First, we established an oxidative premature senescence model induced by D-galactose in C57BL/6 mice. We found that MBL-deficient mice had a marked aging-like appearance, reduced learning and spatial exploration abilities, severe liver pathological damage, and significantly upregulated expression of Senescence-associated proteins (p53 and p21), inflammatory kinesins (IL-1β and IL-6), and the senescence β-galactosidase (SA-β-Gal) positive rate as compared with WT mice. In the H2O2-induced oxidative senescence model of NIH/3T3 cells, consistent results were obtained after MBL intervention. In addition, MBL effectively inhibited G1 phase arrest, ROS levels, DNA damage, and mitochondrial dysfunction in premature senescent cells. Mechanistically, we found that oxidative stress inhibited the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)/ silent information regulator 1 (Sirt1) signaling pathway, while MBL activated the NAD+/Sirt1 signaling pathway inhibited by oxidative stress. In addition, MBL could activate the NAD+/Sirt1 pathway by upregulating NAMPT, which in turn inhibited p38 phosphorylation by activating the NAD+/Sirt1 pathway. In conclusion, MBL inhibits oxidative aging, which may facilitate the development of therapeutics to delay oxidative aging.
