Dr Gavin Richardson, Ph. D is a Senior Lecturer and acting lead of the Vascular Medicine and Biology Theme in the Biosciences Institute, Newcastle University. Dr Richardson is the lead of the heart platform for the Quality in Organ Donation (QUOD) biobank and BHF National Centre for Regenerative Medicine collaborator with imperial college London. He obtained his PhD in prostate cancer stem cell biology in Newcastle in 2004 and worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Durham University studying skin dermal stem cells and skin ageing. In 2010 Dr Richardson re-joined Newcastle University on an independent fellowship to apply his expertise in regeneration and ageing to study age-related cardiovascular disease. During his career, Dr Richardson has worked in institutions including Columbia and Harvard Universities as a visiting Fellow. His research aims to understand how senescence contributes to the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease focusing on senescence-associated inflammation and maladaptive myocardial remodelling. The goal of Dr Richardson’s current work is to characterise the cardiac senescence signature to identify novel biomarkers of cardiovascular disease and develop new therapies, targeting senescence, to attenuate their detrimental impact on myocardial function.

The Role of Senescence and Regeneration in Cardiovascular Ageing

Ageing is the biggest risk factor for impaired cardiovascular health and is associated not only with an increased prevalence of cardiovascular disease but also a poorer prognosis. In our published work, we have demonstrated that in mice cardiomyocyte turnover declines with age and we hypothesize that an impaired regenerative potential contributes to both a decline in cardiac function with age and poorer outcomes in the elderly following a heart attack termed a myocardial infarction. Supporting this hypothesis, cellular senescence, characterised by the irreversible loss of division potential and production of the senescence-associated secretory phenotype, increases with age. Senescence impairs regeneration and promotes adverse myocardial remodelling. Intriguingly, elimination of senescence with drugs termed senolytics, reduces age-associated cardiac dysfunction and improves survival of aged mice to myocardial infarction.

The Role of senescence in myocardial Remodelling

We have demonstrated that cellular senescence is induced by myocardial infarction. Through the production of a senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), which is pro-senescent, pro-fibrotic and pro-hypertrophic, senescent cells promote adverse myocardial remodelling. This ultimately impairs cardiac dysfunction. Elimination of senescence, and the SASP, attenuates inflammation and remodelling, improving cardiac function.

Our goals

To therapeutically target senescence in patients to improve cardiovascular health during ageing and outcomes following myocardial infarction.
