CGAS-STING axis activation drove inflammatory phenotype acquisition of senescent nucleus pulposus cells via p65-mediated transcriptional modulation

ABSTRACT: Given the leading cause of disability worldwide, low back pain (LBP) is recognized as a pivotal socio-economic challenge to the aging population, which is importantly attributed to intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD), a highly prevalent affliction of aging. Elastic nucleus pulposus (NP) tissue is essential for maintenance of IVD structural and functional integrity. Native NP cells exhibit crucial functions for regulating extracellular matrix homeostasis, constructing an accommodating biomechanical environment and maintaining the gelatinous property of NP tissue. The accumulation of senescent NP cells with inflammatory hypersecretory phenotype due to aging and other damaged factors is a distinctive hallmark of IVDD initiation and progression. In this study, we revealed a mechanism of IVDD progression in which aberrant genomic DNA damage promotes NP cell inflammatory senescence via activation of cGAS-STING axis. cGAS-STING axis activation drove inflammatory phenotype acquisition and inflammatory hypersensitivity to damaged signals of senescent NP cells via p65-mediated transcriptional modulation. And STING pharmacological inhibitor notably suppressed p65-mediated inflammatory response formation and senescence-associated screctory phenotype (SASP) acquisition of senescent cells.

And the administration of H-151 revealed that STING pharmacological inhibitor notably suppressed the inflammatory response formation and senescence associated screctory phenotype (SASP) acquisition of senescent cells. Furthermore, blocking STING activation could suppress NF-ÎºB pathway-mediated transcriptional remodeling and inflammatory phenotype acquisition in senescent NP cells.

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.

The STING pathway does not contribute to the onset of cell senescence and SASP induction in the intervertebral disc

Project description:Transcriptional analysis of 6-month-old primary nucleus pulposus (NP) and annulus fibrosus (AF) mouse disc tissues from wild-type (WT) and N153S mice, which harbor a mutation wich constiuitively activates Sting. Mouse details available here: https://www.jax.org/strain/033543 The cGAS-STING pathway promotes the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), which is associated with intervertebral disc degeneration, and has had implications in inflammatory musculoskeletal disorders. We examined the role of STING in the disc by examining the transcriptomic profiles of nucleus pulposus and annulus fibrosus cells in WT and N153S mice using microarray.

Role of cGAS-STING pathway in aging and sexual dimorphism in diabetic kindey disease

Project description:We investigated the cGAS-STING inflammatory pathway differential activity among both sexes in T2DN rats and its impact on the temporal progression of the diabetic kidney disease. Here we used both male and female old and young T2DN rats. The cGAS-STING pathway presented distinct protein expression profiles between male and female T2DN rats, which significantly intensify with aging. In male T2DN rats, pro-inflammatory genes are particularly heightened in comparison to female rats of similar age, and such levels are further exacerbated with age. Interestingly, a comprehensive RNA-Seq analysis conducted in the kidney cortex of both sexes of T2DN rats, in younger and older ages, disclosed several central molecules, with crucial genes identified within the cGAS-STING pathway. Our study showed the intricate sexual differences in the development and progression of DKD and proposed the fundamental role of cGAS-STING pathway in disease development.

cGAS/STING drives ageing-related inflammation and neurodegeneration IV

Project description:Low-grade inflammation is a hallmark of old age and a central driver of ageing-associated impairment and disease. Multiple factors can contribute to ageing-associated inflammation, however the molecular pathways transducing aberrant inflammatory signalling and their impact in natural ageing remain poorly understood. Here we show that the cGAS-STING signalling pathway, mediating immune sensing of DNA, is a critical driver of chronic inflammation and functional decline during ageing. Blockade of STING suppresses the inflammatory phenotypes of senescent human cells and tissues, attenuates ageing-related inflammation in multiple peripheral organs and the brain in mice, and leads to an improvement in tissue function. Focusing on the ageing brain, we reveal that activation of STING triggers reactive microglia transcriptional states, neurodegeneration and cognitive decline. Cytosolic DNA released from perturbed mitochondria elicits cGAS activity in old microglia defining a mechanism by which cGAS-STING signalling is engaged in the ageing brain. Single-nuclei RNA-sequencing (snRNA-seq) of microglia and hippocampi of a newly developed cGAS gain-of-function mouse model demonstrates that engagement of cGAS in microglia is sufficient to direct ageing-associated transcriptional microglia states leading to bystander cell inflammation, neurotoxicity and impaired memory capacity. Our findings establish the cGAS-STING pathway as a critical driver of ageing-related inflammation in peripheral organs and the brain, and reveal blockade of cGAS-STING signalling as a potential strategy to halt (neuro)degenerative processes during old age.

TXNRD1 drives innate immune response in senescent cells and promotes age-associated inflammation

Project description:Sterile inflammation, also known as inflammaging, is a hallmark of tissue ageing. Cellular senescence contributes to tissue aging in part through secretion of proinflammatory factors known as senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Thioredoxin reductase 1 (TXNRD1) genetic variability is associated with aging and age-associated phenotypes such as late-life survival, activity of daily living, and physical performance at old age. TXNRD1 role in regulating tissue ageing has been attributed to its enzymatic role in regulating cellular redox. Here we show that TXNRD1 drives SASP and inflammaging through the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of interferon genes (STING) innate immune response pathway independently of its enzymatic activity. TXNRD1 localizes to cytoplasmic chromatin fragment and interacts with cGAS in a senescence status dependent manner. TXNRD1 enhances the enzymatic activity of cGAS. TXNRD1 and its interaction with cGAS is necessary for the SASP. TXNRD1 is required for both the tumor-promoting and immune-surveillance functions of senescent cells, which are mediated by SASP in vivo in mouse models. Treatment of aged mice with an TXNRD1 inhibitor that disrupts its interaction with cGAS, but not an inhibitor of its enzymatic activity, downregulated inflammaging in several tissues. In summary, our results report TXNRD1 promotes inflammaging via the innate immune response. They indicate that TXNRD1 and cGAS interaction is a relevant target for selectively suppressing inflammaging.

cGAS Senses Translation Stress Through Direct Binding to Ribosomes

Project description:The cGAS-STING pathway, a central component of the innate immune system, senses cytosolic DNA and induces interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) to mediate inflammation. Here we report the unexpected discovery that cGAS senses dysfunctional protein production. Purified ribosomes interact with and stimulate the catalytic activity of recombinant cGAS in vitro. Disruption of the ribosome-associated protein quality control pathway, which detects and resolves ribosome collisions, results in cGAS- and STING-dependent ISG expression, and causes the re-localization of cGAS from the nucleus to the cytosol. Indeed, cGAS preferentially binds collided ribosomes in vitro, and other orthogonal perturbations that lead to elevated levels of collided ribosomes cause re-localization of cGAS as well. Thus, the cGAS-STING pathway senses and responds to translation stress. These findings have implications for the inflammatory responses to viral infection and tumorigenesis, both of which substantially reprogram cellular protein synthesis.
