• The relationship between cellular senescence and fibrosis in the kidney is being elucidated and we have identified it as therapeutic target in recent studies. Chronic kidney disease has also become a lifestyle disease, often developing on the background of hypertension and dyslipidemia. In this study, we clarify the effect of interaction between these two conditions on kidney fibrosis and senescence. Wild type mice (WT), apolipoprotein E-/- mice (ApoEKO), and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS)-/- ApoE-/- mice (DKO) were obtained by breeding. Unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) was performed on 8–10 week old male mice and the degree of renal tubular injury, fibrosis and kidney senescence were evaluated. DKO manifested elevated blood pressure, higher total cholesterol and lower HDL than WT. DKO showed sustained kidney injury molecule-1 protein expression. Kidney fibrosis was significantly higher in ApoEKO and DKO. mRNA expression of genes related to kidney fibrosis was the highest in DKO. The mRNA expression of Zinc-α2-Glycoprotein and heme oxygenase-1 were significantly decreased in DKO. Furthermore, mRNA expression of p53, p21 and p16 were increased both in ApoEKO and DKO, with DKO being the highest. Senescence associated β-gal positive tubule area was significantly increased in DKO. Increased DNA damage and target of rapamycin–autophagy spatial coupling compartments (TASCCs) formation was found in DKO. Mice with endothelial dysfunction and dyslipidemia developed kidney fibrosis and accelerated senescence even in young mice after injury. These data highlight the fact managing lifestyle-related diseases from a young age is important for CKD prevention. •Compared with WT mice, ApoEKO mice and eNOS–/–ApoE–/– mice showed sustained kidney injury and severe fibrosis after UUO.•Kidney injury-induced mRNA expression of p53, p21, and p16 was significantly increased in eNOS–/–ApoE–/– mice.•Senescence associated β-gal positive tubule area was significantly increased in eNOS–/–ApoE–/– mice.•Increased DNA damage and TASCC formation was found in eNOS–/–ApoE–/– mice.
