Project description:Telomere shortening in populations of human mammary epithelial cells (HMECs) that survive early replicative arrest (M0) by the inactivation of p16INK4A during cell culture on plastic dishes leads to a state of permanent replicative arrest termed senescence. While culture of HMECs on feeder layers abrogates M0 and p16INK4A inactivation, progressive telomere attrition in these cells also eventually results in permanent replicative arrest. Expression of telomerase prevents both senescence on plastic (S-P) and senescence on feeder layers (S-FL) in HMECs, as it does also in cultured primary human fibroblasts. We report here that the gene expression profiles of senescence in HMECs of the same lineage maintained under different culture conditions showed surprisingly little commonality. Moreover, neither of these senescence-associated profiles in HMECs resembles the profile for senescence in human fibroblasts. These results indicate that senescence-associated alterations in gene expression resulting from telomere attrition are affected by culture conditions as well as by cell origins, and argue that replicative senescence at the molecular level is a diverse rather than unique cellular process.
Project description:We profiled the global gene expression of human primary fetal lung fibroblasts (HFL-1) at different stages while they were undergoing replicative senescence
Project description:By transcriptome analysis of IMR-90 human fibroblasts following oncogene-induced senescence (OIS) and replicative senescence (RS), we identified commonly regulated genes in both conditions.

Project description:small RNA gene expression profiles of senescent human fibroblasts were compared to young proliferating fibroblasts. RNA-seq data comprises 5 groups: 16, 26, 46, 64 and 74 population doublings of HFF fibroblasts. Jena Centre for Systems Biology of Ageing - JenAge (www.jenage.de)
Project description:We stably infected IMR90 fibroblasts with lentiviral vectors expressing doxycycline-inducible TRF2dBdM or vector control. Cells were treated with 1mg/ml of doxycycline for 7 days to induce senescence in the cells expressing TRF2dBdM before collecting RNA. IMR90 cells, either young (passage 10, population doubling ~20) or old (passage 24, population doubling ~40-48) were also used as a model of replicative senescence. The transcriptomes were analyzed using RNA microarrays.
