Innate immune sensing of cytosolic chromatin fragments through cGAS promotes senescence

ABSTRACT: 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.

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

Project description: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.

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.

Localization of HIRA in PML bodies is tightly linked SASP expression

Project description:Cellular senescence, a stable proliferation arrest caused by a range of cellular stresses, is a bona fide cause of cell and tissue aging. As well as proliferation arrest, cell senescence is associated with a potent pro-inflammatory phenotype, the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Given that SASP is regulated at various levels, gaining a comprehensive understanding of its regulation is crucial. This understanding can pave the way for potential therapeutic approaches aimed at modulating SASP, which could promote healthy aging and alleviate the burden of senescence-associated diseases and degeneration. We show here that both the Promyelocytic Leukemia (PML) protein and HIRA histone chaperone are required for SASP expression in senescent cells. PML protein is the key organizer of PML nuclear bodies, nuclear features up to 1mM in diameter, containing many proteins and previously implicated in diverse cellular processes, including control of cell senescence and cellular intrinsic anti-viral immunity. HIRA is a histone chaperone best known for its ability to incorporate histone variant H3.3 into nuclear chromatin in a DNA replication-independent manner, including in non-proliferating senescent cells. HIRA localizes to PML nuclear bodies in senescent cells. We show that both HIRA and PML are required for activation of NF-kB and SASP. We found that HIRA regulates cytoplasmic NF-kB signaling in senescent cells through CCF-cGAS-STING-TBK1 pathway and interaction with autophagy cargo receptor Sequestosome-1 (p62/SQSTM1).

Sub-lethal apoptotic stress enables mtDNA release during senescence and drives the SASP

Project description:Senescent cells drive age-related tissue dysfunction partially via the induction of a chronic senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Mitochondria are major regulators of the SASP; however, the underlying mechanisms have not been elucidated. Mitochondria also control apoptosis, a cell fate generally perceived as distinct from cellular senescence, which is apoptosis resistant. Here, we show that mitochondrial outer membrane permeability (MOMP) occurring in a small subset of mitochondria is a feature of cellular senescence. This process, called minority MOMP (miMOMP), depends on the formation of BAX and BAK macropores and results in release of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) into the cytosol, which in turn activates the cGAS/STING pathway, a major regulator of the SASP. Importantly, we found that inhibition of MOMP in vivo decreases inflammatory markers and improves healthspan parameters in aged mice. Our results propose the novel concept that apoptosis and senescence are regulated by similar mitochondrial-dependent mechanisms, and that sub-lethal mitochondrial apoptotic stress is a major driver of the SASP. We also provide proof-of-concept that inhibition of miMOMP may be a new therapeutic avenue to improve healthspan.

The noncanonical cGAS-STING-PERK pathway enables a selective translation program and underlies organ fibrosis

Project description:Innate DNA sensing via the cGAS-STING pathway surveys both microbial invasion and cellular damage, constituting a ubiquitous mechanism for host defense and tissue homeostasis. However, very little is known about the signaling mechanism(s) and physiological impacts downstream of cGAS-STING signaling and independent of the classical TBK1-IRF3-IFN cascade. Here, we identified an unrecognized STING-PERK-eIF2α signaling axis that was specific and controlled cap-dependent translation, a fundamental cellular process. STING, upon activation by 2'3'-cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP), robustly bound and directly activated the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-located kinase PERK, and this process was upstream of IRF3 activation and independent of the unfolded protein response (UPR) and TBK1/IKKε. Innate DNA sensing suppressed global translation programs but selectively ensured the activation of some pathways by PERK-mediated eIF2α phosphorylation and the rapid regulation of protein synthesis, enabling translational modulation of immune responses. Notably, the STING-PERK-eIF2α axis is an evolutionarily primitive component of STING-TBKI-IRF3-IFN signaling and is physiologically critical in pulmonary and renal fibrosis as well as in the regulation of cellular senescence. Therefore, these findings establish the first noncanonical pathway of the cGAS-STING mechanism and demonstrate the physiological importance of this STING-triggered selective translation, which we propose as a promising therapeutic target for fibrotic diseases.
