Multi-omic profiling of DNA damage-induced senescence in healthy and IPF primary human lung fibroblasts [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Uncovering senescent fibroblast heterogeneity connects DNA damage response to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: Cellular senescence is a highly heterogeneous state of cell stress response that deleteriously accumulates with age and contributes to age-related dysfunction. While the heterogeneity across cell types is well documented, variation within the same cell type is only beginning to be understood. Here, we show primary, human lung fibroblasts from either donors who are healthy or diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) exhibit a subtle form of heterogeneity over time after DNA damage. Moreover, senescent IPF lung fibroblasts display a dysregulated transcriptional–protein DNA damage response (DDR). Weighted gene correlation network analysis (WGCNA) reveals unique and known targets linking senescent IPF lung fibroblast heterogeneity to genes associated with DNA damage and repair and cytokine and chemokine responses. We combine our healthy and IPF senescent gene expression datasets to develop a novel gene signature of senescence-associated genes that identify disease-relevant cells in human single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) data. Collectively, our results uncover human-relevant senescence signatures, highlight IPF-specific DDR, cytokine, and chemokine targets, and expand our understanding of how a dysregulated DDR contributes to senescent cell heterogeneity in IPF.

Project description:This is the model described in: Feedback between p21 and reactive oxygen production is necessary for cell senescence. Passos JF, Nelson G, Wang C, Richter T, Simillion C, Proctor CJ, Miwa S, Olijslagers S, Hallinan J, Wipat A, Saretzki G, Rudolph KL, Kirkwood TB, von Zglinicki T. ;Mol Sys Biol2010;6:347. Epub 2010 Feb 16. PMID:20160708 doi:10.1038/msb.2010.5; Abstract: Cellular senescence--the permanent arrest of cycling in normally proliferating cells such as fibroblasts--contributes both to age-related loss of mammalian tissue homeostasis and acts as a tumour suppressor mechanism. The pathways leading to establishment of senescence are proving to be more complex than was previously envisaged. Combining in-silico interactome analysis and functional target gene inhibition, stochastic modelling and live cell microscopy, we show here that there exists a dynamic feedback loop that is triggered by a DNA damage response (DDR) and, which after a delay of several days, locks the cell into an actively maintained state of 'deep' cellular senescence. The essential feature of the loop is that long-term activation of the checkpoint gene CDKN1A (p21) induces mitochondrial dysfunction and production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) through serial signalling through GADD45-MAPK14(p38MAPK)-GRB2-TGFBR2-TGFbeta. These ROS in turn replenish short-lived DNA damage foci and maintain an ongoing DDR. We show that this loop is both necessary and sufficient for the stability of growth arrest during the establishment of the senescent phenotype.
