Gene expression changes in cord blood-derived ECFCs in response to in vitro senescence stimuli

ABSTRACT: Senescent endothelial cells accumulate in blood vessels during aging and produce the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Age-related cardiovascular disease is promoted by SASP chronic inflammation. SASP establishment has been attributed to DNA damage and cGAS activation through cytoplasmic chromatin fragments. Therefore, DNA sensing has been extensively studied in cellular senescence; RNA sensing, on the other hand, remains unexplored. Here, we uncover a pivotal role for RNA accumulation and sensing in endothelial senescence. Our study suggests that intracellular RNA accumulation is a hallmark of senescent endothelial cells. This is associated with activation of RIG-I RNA sensing, and IRF7-driven IFN innate immune response. Moreover, our results revealed that inhibition of IRF7 or RIG-I were sufficient to extend the lifespan and functionality of endothelial cells. These data link the IFN gene signature with RNA accumulation/sensing in senescent endothelium and suggest IRF7 and RIG-I as potential therapeutic targets to delay vascular aging.

Innate immune sensing of cytosolic chromatin fragments through cGAS promotes senescence

Project description:Cellular senescence is triggered by various distinct stresses and characterized by a permanent cell cycle arrest. Senescent cells secrete a variety of inflammatory factors, collectively referred to as the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). The mechanism(s) underlying the regulation of the SASP remains incompletely understood. Here we define a role for innate DNA sensing in the regulation of senescence and the SASP. We find that cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) recognizes cytosolic chromatin fragments (CCFs) in senescent cells. The activation of cGAS, in turn triggers the production of SASP factors via Stimulator of interferon genes (STING), thereby promoting paracrine senescence. We demonstrate that diverse stimuli of cellular senescence engage the cGAS-STING pathway in vitro and we show cGAS-dependent regulation of senescence upon irradiation and oncogene activation in vivo. Our findings provide insights into the mechanisms underlying cellular senescence by establishing the cGAS-STING pathway as a crucial regulator of senescence and the SASP.

A novel histone variant H2A.J accumulates in senescent human cell with persistent DNA damage and promote inflammatory gene expression

Project description:The senescence of mammalian cells is characterized by a proliferative arrest in response to stress and the expression of an inflammatory phenotype. We discovered that H2A.J, a poorly studied H2A variant found only in mammals, accumulates in human fibroblasts in senescence with persistent DNA damage. Knock-down of H2A.J interfered with the derepression of a set of inflammatory genes that contribute to the senescent-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), and over-expression of H2A.J increased the expression of some of these genes in proliferating cells. H2A.J accumulation may thus promote the signaling of senescent cells to the immune system. 41 samples analysed

Oxylipin biosynthesis reinforces cellular senescence through a RAS/p53 feedback loop and allows detection of senolysis

Project description:Cellular senescence is a stress or damage response that causes a permanent proliferative arrest and secretion of numerous factors with potent biological activities. This senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) has been characterized largely for secreted proteins that participate in embryogenesis, wound healing, inflammation and many age-related pathologies. By contrast, lipid components of the SASP are understudied. We show that senescent cells activate the biosynthesis of several oxylipins that promote segments of the SASP and reinforce the proliferative arrest. Notably, senescent cells synthesize and accumulate an unstudied intracellular prostaglandin, 1a,1b-dihomo-15-deoxy-delta-12,14-prostaglandin J2. Released 15-deoxy-delta-12,14-prostaglandin J2 is a biomarker of senolysis in culture and in vivo. This and other prostaglandin D2-related lipids promote the senescence arrest and SASP by activating RAS signaling. These data identify an important aspect of cellular senescence and a method to detect senolysis

Pleiotrophic function of BAFF to promote a senescence-associated secretome and growth arrest

Project description:Senescent cells release a variety of cytokines, proteases and growth factors collectively defined as the Senescent Secretory Associated Phenotype (SASP). Sustained SASP induces a pattern of chronic inflammation associated with aging and implicated in multiple age-related diseases. Here, we investigated the expression and function of the immunomodulatory cytokine BAFF (B-cell activating factor), a SASP factor, in multiple senescence models. First, we characterized BAFF production across different senescence models, including senescent human diploid fibroblasts (WI-38, IMR-90) and monocytic leukemia cells (THP-1), and tissues of mice induced to undergo senescence. We identified IRF1 (interferon response factor 1) as a transcription factor required for promoting BAFF mRNA transcription in senescence, and found that suppressing BAFF production decreased the senescent phenotype in both monocytes and fibroblasts. Importantly, the influence of BAFF on the senescence program was cell type-specific: in monocytes, BAFF promoted the early activation of NF-κB and general SASP secretion, while in fibroblasts, BAFF contributed to the production and function of TP53 (p53). Overall, BAFF silencing affected shared senescence-associated phenotypes including IL6 secretion, SA-beta-Gal staining, and γ-H2AX accumulation. We propose that BAFF is a novel biomarker of senescence and a potential target for senotherapy.

A BDNF-TrkB autocrine loop enhances senescent cell viability [RNA-seq]

Project description:Cellular senescence is characterized by cell cycle arrest, resistance to apoptosis, and a senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) whereby cells secrete pro-inflammatory and tissue-remodeling factors. Given that the SASP exacerbates age-associated pathologies, some aging interventions selectively eliminate senescent cells. In this study, a drug library screen uncovered TrkB (NTRK2) inhibitors as selectively capable of triggering apoptosis of senescent, but not proliferating, human fibroblasts. Senescent cells expressed high levels of TrkB, which supported senescent cell viability, and secreted the TrkB ligand BDNF. The reduced viability of senescent cells after ablating BDNF function supported an autocrine function for TrkB and BDNF, and the increased expression of BCL2L2 through ERK5, downstream of BDNF-TrkB, favored senescent cell survival. Strikingly, treatment with TrkB inhibitors reduced the accumulation of senescent cells in aged mouse organs. Our results suggest that the SASP factor BDNF promotes cell survival by activating TrkB and is a promising therapeutic target to reduce the senescent cell burden.

Clearance of senescent macrophages ameliorates tumorigenesis in KRAS-driven lung cancer

Project description:Accumulation of senescent cells in the tumour microenvironment can drive tumourigenesis in a paracrine manner through the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Using a new p16-FDR mouse line, we show that macrophages and endothelial cells are the predominant senescent cell types in murine KRAS-driven lung tumours. Single cell transcriptomics identify a population of tumour-associated macrophages, expressing a unique array of pro-tumourigenic SASP factors and surface proteins, that are also present in normal aged lungs. Genetic or senolytic ablation of senescent cells, and macrophage depletion, result in a significant reduction in tumour burden and increased mouse survival of KRAS-driven lung cancer models. Of translational relevance, we reveal the presence of macrophages with senescent features in human lung premalignant lesions, but not in adenocarcinomas. Together, our results have uncovered a population of senescent macrophages contributing to the initiation and progression of lung cancer, thus opening potential therapeutic avenues and cancer preventative strategies.

RNA seq of prostate gland from WT, PTEN pc -/- and PTEN pc-/-;P53 -/- mice

Project description:Acute Pten loss initiates prostate tumorigenesis characterized by cellular senescence response. Senescent cells secrete a variety of pro inflammatory factors in the tumor microenvironment, which can support the survival, outgrowth and migration of tumor cells. Here we examine cytokines and cytokines-related factors gene expression in Ptenpc-/- senescent and in Ptenpc-/-; Trp53pc-/- non senescent tumors. RNAseq analysis confirmed the presence of cytokines, which were specifically up- and down-regulated in Ptenpc-/- senescent tumors (“core-SASP”) we also found a number of upregulated secreted factors that were “senescence-unrelated” both present in both Ptenpc-/- and Ptenpc-/-; Trp53pc-/- tumors.

Senescence rewires microenvironment sensing to facilitate anti-tumor immunity (scRNA-Seq)

Project description:Cellular senescence involves a stable cell cycle arrest coupled to a secretory program that, in some instances, stimulates the immune clearance of senescent cells. Using an immune competent tumor model in which senescence triggers CD8 T cell-mediated tumor rejection, we show that senescence also remodels cell surface proteome to alter how they sense environmental factors, as exemplified by Type II interferon gamma (IFN-γ). Compared to proliferating cells, senescent cells upregulate IFN-γ receptor, become hypersensitized to microenvironmental IFN-γ, and more robustly induce antigen presenting machinery -effects also recapitulated in human tumor cells treated with senescence-inducing drugs. Disruption of the IFN-γ sensing by senescent cells blunts their immune-mediated clearance without disabling their characteristic secretory program or immune cell recruitment. Our results demonstrate that senescent cells have an enhanced ability to both send and receive environmental signals, and imply that each process is required for their effective immune surveillance.

The lncRNA MIR31HG regulates the senescence associated secretory phenotype

Project description:Oncogene-induced senescence provides a barrier against malignant transformation. Senescent cells secrete pro-inflammatory cytokines, chemokines and growth factors collectively known as the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Paradoxically, the SASP can also negatively impact the neighbouring tissues through inducing an inflammatory environment that promotes tumorigenesis and aged-related pathologies. We have previously shown that the lncRNA MIR31HG is overexpressed and located in the cytoplasm during BRAF-induced senescence. In young proliferating cells, nuclear MIR31HG inhibits p16/CDKN2A expression through interaction with polycomb repressor complexes (PRC1/2). Here, we show that MIR31HG regulates the expression and secretion of a subset of SASP components during BRAF-induced senescence. The SASP secreted from senescent cells depleted for MIR31HG fails to induce paracrine invasion without affecting the growth inhibitory effect. Mechanistically, MIR31HG interacts with the translation factor YBX1 facilitating its phosphorylation at serine 102 (p-YBX1S102) by the kinase RSK. p-YBX1S102 induces IL1A translation which acts as upstream regulator inducing the transcription of the other SASP mRNAs. Our results suggest a dual role for MIR31HG in senescence depending on its cellular localization and place the lncRNA as a potential therapeutic target in the treatment of senescence-related pathologies.
