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

ABSTRACT: 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.

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

Bulk-RNA seq in PC3shTIMP cell treated with Vehicle, Docetaxel , Adapelene or their combination (Combo)

Project description:Cellular senescence, a stable cell growth arrest, can have dual effects in tumors, either suppressing or promoting tumor progression. The Senescence-Associated Secretory Phenotype (SASP), released by senescent cells, plays a crucial role in this dichotomy. Consequently, the clinical challenge lies in developing therapies that safely enhance senescence in cancer, promoting tumor-suppressive over tumor-promoting SASP factors. Here, we identified the Retinoic-Acid-Receptor (RAR) agonist Adapalene as an effective pro-senescence compound in prostate cancer (PCa). The reactivation of the RARs triggers a strong senescence response and a tumor-suppressive SASP. In preclinical mouse models of PCa, the combination of Adapalene and Docetaxel, promotes a tumor-suppressive SASP that activates NK cell-mediated tumor clearance more effectively than either agent alone. This approach increases the efficacy of allogenic infusion of human NK cells in mice injected with human PCa cells, suggesting an alternative therapeutic strategy to stimulate the anti-tumor immune response in "immunologically cold" tumors.

BRD4 connects enhancer remodeling to senescence immune surveillance (RNA-seq)

Project description:Cellular senescence is a homeostatic program associated with tumor suppression, wound healing, and certain age related pathologies. Senescent cells display a repressive chromatin configuration thought to stably silence proliferation-promoting genes, while at the same time activate an unusual form of immune surveillance involving a secretory program referred to as the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Here we demonstrate that senescence also involves a global remodeling of the enhancer landscape with recruitment of the chromatin reader BRD4 to newly activated super-enhancers adjacent to key SASP genes. Transcriptional profiling and functional studies indicate that BRD4 is required for the SASP and downstream paracrine signaling. Consequently, BRD4 inhibition disrupts immune cell-mediated targeting and elimination of premalignant senescent cells in vitro and in vivo. Our results identify a critical role for BRD4-bound super-enhancers in senescence immune surveillance and in the proper execution of a tumor-suppressive program.

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

Project description: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.

Evaluation of the secretome of senescent melanoma cells and the impact of silencing Mfn1 on the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) by shotgun proteomics analysis.

Project description:Cellular senescence is a therapy endpoint in melanoma, and the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) can affect tumor growth and microenvironment, influencing treatment outcomes. Metabolic interventions can modulate the SASP, and an enhanced mitochondrial energy metabolism supports resistance to therapy in melanoma. In a previous report we showed that in melanoma, senescence induced by the DNA methylating agent temozolomide, increases fusion proteins mitofusins 1 and 2. Silencing Mfn1 or Mfn2 expression reduced interleukin-6 secretion by senescent cells. Here we expanded these observations evaluating the secretome of senescent melanoma cells using shotgun proteomics, and explored the impact of silencing Mfn1 on the SASP. A significant increase in proteins reported to reduce the immune response towards the tumor was found in the media of senescent cells. The secretion of several of these immunomodulatory proteins was affected by Mfn1 silencing, among them was galectin-9. In agreement, tumors lacking mitofusin 1 responded better to treatment with the methylating agent dacarbazine, tumor size was reduced and a higher immune cell infiltration was detected in the tumor. Our results highlight mitochondrial dynamic proteins as potential pharmacological targets to modulate the SASP in the context of melanoma treatment.

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

Induction of senescence renders cancer cells highly immunogenic

Project description:Cellular senescence is a stress response that activates innate immunity. However, the interplay between senescent cells and the adaptive immune system remains largely unexplored. Here, we show that senescent cells display enhanced MHC class I (MHC-I) antigen processing and presentation. Immunization of mice with senescent syngeneic fibroblasts generates CD8 T cells reactive against both normal and senescent fibroblasts, some of them targeting senescence-associated MHC-I-peptides. In the context of cancer, we demonstrate that senescent cancer cells trigger strong anti-tumor protection mediated by antigen-presenting cells and CD8 T cells. This response is superior to the protection elicited by cells undergoing immunogenic cell death. Finally, induction of senescence in patient-derived cancer cells exacerbates the activation of autologous tumor-reactive CD8 tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) with no effect on non-reactive TILs. Our study indicates that immunization with senescent cancer cells strongly activates anti-tumor immunity, and this can be exploited for cancer therapy.

METRONOMIC TOPOTECAN CAUSES THERAPY-INDUCED TUMOR CELL SENESCENCE AND LOSS OF AGGRESSIVE PROPERTIES IN MYCN-AMPLIFIED CHILDHOOD CANCER [Affymetrix Cytoscan HD]

Project description:Evidence is accumulating that senescence drives cure in various murine and human malignancies. We demonstrate that metronomic, repetitive low-dose topotecan treatment leads to tumor cell senescence in vitro and in vivo and long-term cure in a model for the aggressive childhood cancer neuroblastoma. By using the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) as a discriminator for beneficial versus adverse effects of senescence, we identified topotecan as inducer of a favorable SASP. Senescent tumor cells are growth arrested and act growth inhibitory on co-cultured non-senescent tumor cells. MYCN oncogene amplification and expression, hallmarks of aggressive neuroblastoma, are significantly reduced, supporting an initial transition to a more favorable phenotype. These new aspects of metronomic drug treatment are clinically relevant and might apply to other tumor entities.
