A Negative Feedback Loop in Ultraviolet A-Induced Senescence in Human Dermal Fibroblasts Formed by SPCA1 and MAPK.

ABSTRACT: Secretory pathway calcium ATPase 1 (SPCA1) is a calcium pump localized specifically to the Golgi. Its effects on UVA-induced senescence have never been examined. In our study, expression of SPCA1 was increased in UVA-irradiated human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) by activating mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and its downstream transcription factor, c-jun. Dual-luciferase reporter and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays revealed that c-jun regulated SPCA1 by binding to its promoter. Furthermore, downregulating SPCA1 with siRNA transfection aggravated UVA-induced senescence due to an elevation of intracellular calcium concentrations and a subsequent increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) and MAPK activity. In contrast, overexpression of SPCA1 reduced calcium overload, consequently lowering the ROS level and suppressing MAPK activation. This alleviated the cellular senescence caused by UVA irradiation. These results indicated that SPCA1 might exert a protective effect on UVA-induced senescence in HDFs via forming a negative feedback loop. Specifically, activation of MAPK/c-jun triggered by UVA transcriptionally upregulated SPCA1. In turn, the increased SPCA1 lowered the intracellular Ca²⁺ level, probably through pumping Ca²⁺ into the Golgi, leading to a reduction of ROS, eventually decreasing MAPK activity and diminishing UVA-induced senescence.

Ultraviolet A irradiation induces senescence in human dermal fibroblasts by down-regulating DNMT1 via ZEB1.

Project description:In this study, we report the role of DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) in ultraviolet A (UVA)-induced senescence in human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs). We show that DNMT1 expression was significantly reduced during UVA-induced senescence, and this senescence could be alleviated or aggravated by the up- or down-regulation of DNMT1, respectively. Expression of the transcription factor zinc finger E-box binding homeobox 1(ZEB1) also decreased after UVA irradiation, following a UVA-induced increase of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). We show that ZEB1 binds to the DMNT1 promoter and regulates its transcription, which, in turn, affects cellular senescence. These changes in DMNT1 and ZEB1 expression following UVA exposure were confirmed in matched skin specimens that had or had not been sun-exposed. On analyzing the promoter methylation of 24 senescence associated genes in these matched skin specimens, we discovered that p53 promoter methylation was significantly reduced in sun-exposed skin. In vitro experiments confirmed that UVA irradiation reduced p53 promoter methylation, and DNMT1 up-regulation could reverse this effect. Collectively, down-regulation of ZEB1 caused by UVA induced ROS could transcriptionally inhibit DNMT1, leading to low methylation level of senescence related proteins p53 and increase its expression, eventually result in cellar senescence.

SIRT1 is regulated by a PPAR{γ}-SIRT1 negative feedback loop associated with senescence.

Project description:Human Silent Information Regulator Type 1 (SIRT1) is an NAD(+)-dependent deacetylase protein which is an intermediary of cellular metabolism in gene silencing and aging. SIRT1 has been extensively investigated and shown to delay senescence; however, less is known about the regulation of SIRT1 during aging. In this study, we show that the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPARγ), which is a ligand-regulated modular nuclear receptor that governs adipocyte differentiation and inhibits cellular proliferation, inhibits SIRT1 expression at the transcriptional level. Moreover, both PPARγ and SIRT1 can bind the SIRT1 promoter. PPARγ directly interacts with SIRT1 and inhibits SIRT1 activity, forming a negative feedback and self-regulation loop. In addition, our data show that acetylation of PPARγ increased with increasing cell passage number. We propose that PPARγ is subject to regulation by acetylation and deacetylation via p300 and SIRT1 in cellular senescence. These results demonstrate a mutual regulation between PPARγ and SIRT1 and identify a new posttranslational modification that affects cellular senescence.

HDAC2 and 7 down-regulation induces senescence in dermal fibroblasts.

Project description:Originally simply reported to be in a stable and irreversible growth arrest in vitro, senescent cells are now clearly associated with normal and pathological ageing in vivo. They are characterized by several biomarkers and changes in gene expression that may depend on epigenetic factors, such as histone acetylation, involving a balance between histone acetyltransferases (HATs) and histone deacetylases (HDACs). In this study, we investigate the expression and the role of HDACs on the senescent phenotype of dermal fibroblasts. We report that during replicative senescence, most canonical HDACs are less expressed. Moreover, treatment with SAHA, a histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi) also known as Vorinostat, or the specific downregulation of HDAC2 or HDAC7 by siRNA, induces the appearance of senescence biomarkers of dermal fibroblasts. Conversely, the ectopic re-expression of HDAC7 by lentiviral transduction in pre-senescent dermal fibroblasts extends their proliferative lifespan. These results demonstrate that HDACs expression can modulate the senescent phenotype, highlighting their pharmaceutical interest in the context of healthy ageing.

A positive feedback loop bi-stably activates fibroblasts.

Project description:Although fibroblasts are dormant in normal tissue, they exhibit explosive activation during wound healing and perpetual activation in pathologic fibrosis and cancer stroma. The key regulatory network controlling these fibroblast dynamics is still unknown. Here, we report that Twist1, a key regulator of cancer-associated fibroblasts, directly upregulates Prrx1, which, in turn, increases the expression of Tenascin-C (TNC). TNC also increases Twist1 expression, consequently forming a Twist1-Prrx1-TNC positive feedback loop (PFL). Systems biology studies reveal that the Twist1-Prrx1-TNC PFL can function as a bistable ON/OFF switch and regulates fibroblast activation. This PFL can be irreversibly activated under pathologic conditions, leading to perpetual fibroblast activation. Sustained activation of the Twist1-Prrx1-TNC PFL reproduces fibrotic nodules similar to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis in vivo and is implicated in fibrotic disease and cancer stroma. Considering that this PFL is specific to activated fibroblasts, Twist1-Prrx1-TNC PFL may be a fibroblast-specific therapeutic target to deprogram perpetually activated fibroblasts.

Human dermal stem/progenitor cell-derived conditioned medium ameliorates ultraviolet a-induced damage of normal human dermal fibroblasts.

Project description:Adult skin stem cells are considered an attractive cell resource for therapeutic potential in aged skin. We previously reported that multipotent human dermal stem/progenitor cells (hDSPCs) can be enriched from (normal human dermal fibroblasts (NHDFs) using collagen type IV. However, the beneficial effects of hDSPCs on aged skin remain to be elucidated. In the present study, we analyzed the growth factors secreted from hDSPCs in conditioned medium (CM) derived from hDSPCs (hDSPC-CM) and found that hDSPCs secreted higher levels of bFGF, IGFBP-1, IGFBP-2, HGF, VEGF and IGF-1 compared with non-hDSPCs. We then investigated whether hDSPC-CM has an effect on ultraviolet A (UVA)-irradiated NHDFs. Real-time RT-PCR analysis revealed that the treatment of UVA-irradiated NHDFs with hDSPC-CM significantly antagonized the UVA-induced up-regulation of the MMP1 and the UVA-induced down-regulation of the collagen types I, IV and V and TIMP1 mRNA expressions. Furthermore, a scratch wound healing assay showed that hDSPC-CM enhanced the migratory properties of UVA-irradiated NHDFs. hDSPC-CM also significantly reduced the number of the early and late apoptotic cell population in UVA-irradiated NHDFs. Taken together, these data suggest that hDSPC-CM can exert some beneficial effects on aged skin and may be used as a therapeutic agent to improve skin regeneration and wound healing.

Ginsenoside Rb2 suppresses cellular senescence of human dermal fibroblasts by inducing autophagy.

Project description:BackgroundGinsenoside Rb2, a major active component of Panax ginseng, has various physiological activities, including anticancer and anti-inflammatory effects. However, the mechanisms underlying the rejuvenation effect of Rb2 in human skin cells have not been elucidated.MethodsWe performed a senescence-associated β-galactosidase staining assay to confirm cellular senescence in human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs). The regulatory effects of Rb2 on autophagy were evaluated by analyzing the expression of autophagy marker proteins, such as microtubule-associated protein 1A/1B-light chain (LC) 3 and p62, using immunoblotting. Autophagosome and autolysosome formation was monitored using transmission electron microscopy. Autophagic flux was analyzed using tandem-labeled GFP-RFP-LC3, and lysosomal function was assessed with Lysotracker. We performed RNA sequencing to identify potential target genes related to HDF rejuvenation mediated by Rb2. To verify the functions of the target genes, we silenced them using shRNAs.ResultsRb2 decreased β-galactosidase activity and altered the expression of cell cycle regulatory proteins in senescent HDFs. Rb2 markedly induced the conversion of LC3-Ⅰ to LC3-Ⅱ and LC3 puncta. Moreover, Rb2 increased lysosomal function and red puncta in tandem-labeled GFP-RFP-LC3, which indicate that Rb2 promoted autophagic flux. RNA sequencing data showed that the expression of DNA damage-regulated autophagy modulator 2 (DRAM2) was induced by Rb2. In autophagy signaling, Rb2 activated the AMPK-ULK1 pathway and inactivated mTOR. DRAM2 knockdown inhibited autophagy and Rb2-restored cellular senescence.ConclusionRb2 reverses cellular senescence by activating autophagy via the AMPK-mTOR pathway and induction of DRAM2, suggesting that Rb2 might have potential value as an antiaging agent.

Carnitine acetyltransferase deficiency mediates mitochondrial dysfunction-induced cellular senescence in dermal fibroblasts.

Project description:Aging is accompanied by impaired mitochondrial function and accumulation of senescent cells. Mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to senescence by increasing the levels of reactive oxygen species and compromising energy metabolism. Senescent cells secrete a senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) and stimulate chronic low-grade inflammation, ultimately inducing inflammaging. Mitochondrial dysfunction and cellular senescence are two closely related hallmarks of aging; however, the key driver genes that link mitochondrial dysfunction and cellular senescence remain unclear. Here, we aimed to elucidate a novel role of carnitine acetyltransferase (CRAT) in the development of mitochondrial dysfunction and cellular senescence in dermal fibroblasts. Transcriptomic analysis of skin tissues from young and aged participants showed significantly decreased CRAT expression in intrinsically aged skin. CRAT downregulation in human dermal fibroblasts recapitulated mitochondrial changes in senescent cells and induced SASP secretion. Specifically, CRAT knockdown caused mitochondrial dysfunction, as indicated by increased oxidative stress, disruption of mitochondrial morphology, and a metabolic shift from oxidative phosphorylation to glycolysis. Mitochondrial damage induced the release of mitochondrial DNA into the cytosol, which activated the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of interferon genes (STING) and NF-ĸB pathways to induce SASPs. Consistently, fibroblast-specific CRAT-knockout mice showed increased skin aging phenotypes in vivo, including decreased cell proliferation, increased SASP expression, increased inflammation, and decreased collagen density. Our results suggest that CRAT deficiency contributes to aging by mediating mitochondrial dysfunction-induced senescence.

Effects of Oleo Gum Resin of <i>Ferula assa-foetida</i> L. on Senescence in Human Dermal Fibroblasts: - Asafoetida reverses senescence in fibroblasts.

Project description:ObjectivesBased on data from Chinese and Indian traditional herbal medicines, gum resin of Ferula assa-foetida (sometimes referred to asafetida or asafoetida) has several therapeutic applications. The authors of various studies have claimed that asafetida has cytotoxic, antiulcer, anti-neoplasm, anti-cancer, and anti-oxidative effects. In present study, the anti-aging effect of asafetida on senescent human dermal fibroblasts was evaluated.MethodsSenescence was induced in in vitro cultured human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) through exposure to H2O2, and the incidence of senescence was recognized by using cytochemical staining for the activity of β-galactosidase. Then, treatment with oleo gum resin of asafetida was started to evaluate its rejuvenating effect. The survival rate of fibroblasts was evaluated by using methyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assays. Real-time quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and western blot assays were performed to evaluate the expressions of apoptotic and anti-apoptotic markers.ResultsOur experiments show that asafetida in concentrations ranging from 5 × 10-8 to 10-7 g/mL has revitalizing effects on senescent fibroblasts and significantly reduces the β-galactosidase activity in these cells (P < 0.05). Likewise, treatment at these concentrations increases the proliferation rate of normal fibroblasts (P < 0.05). However, at concentrations higher than 5 × 10-7 g/mL, asafetida is toxic for cells and induces cell death.ConclusionThe results of this study indicate that asafetida at low concentrations has a rejuvenating effect on senescent fibroblasts whereas at higher concentrations, it has the opposite effect of facilitating cellular apoptosis and death.

A negative feedback signaling network underlies oncogene-induced senescence.

Project description:Oncogene-induced senescence functions to limit tumor development. However, a complete understanding of the signals that trigger this type of senescence is currently lacking. We found that mutations affecting NF1, Raf, and Ras induce a global negative feedback response that potently suppresses Ras and/or its effectors. Moreover, these signals promote senescence by inhibiting the Ras/PI3K pathway, which can impact the senescence machinery through HDM2 and FOXO. This negative feedback program is regulated in part by RasGEFs, Sprouty proteins, RasGAPs, and MKPs. Moreover, these signals function in vivo in benign human tumors. Thus, the ultimate response to the aberrant activation of the Ras pathway is a multifaceted negative feedback signaling network that terminates the oncogenic signal and participates in the senescence response.

An autoregulatory negative feedback loop controls thermomorphogenesis in Arabidopsis.

Project description:Plant growth and development are acutely sensitive to high ambient temperature caused in part due to climate change. However, the mechanism of high ambient temperature signaling is not well defined. Here, we show that HECATEs (HEC1 and HEC2), two helix-loop-helix transcription factors, inhibit thermomorphogenesis. While the expression of HEC1 and HEC2 is increased and HEC2 protein is stabilized at high ambient temperature, hec1hec2 double mutant showed exaggerated thermomorphogenesis. Analyses of the four PHYTOCHROME INTERACTING FACTOR (PIF1, PIF3, PIF4 and PIF5) mutants and overexpression lines showed that they all contribute to promote thermomorphogenesis. Furthermore, genetic analysis showed that pifQ is epistatic to hec1hec2. HECs and PIFs oppositely control the expression of many genes in response to high ambient temperature. PIFs activate the expression of HECs in response to high ambient temperature. HEC2 in turn interacts with PIF4 both in yeast and in vivo. In the absence of HECs, PIF4 binding to its own promoter as well as the target gene promoters was enhanced, indicating that HECs control PIF4 activity via heterodimerization. Overall, these data suggest that PIF4-HEC forms an autoregulatory composite negative feedback loop that controls growth genes to modulate thermomorphogenesis.
